If you come across any suborn allen key headed bolts, get the proper 12 spline tool and hammer it in there, removes them every time and saves getting the Cole chisel or welder out. :wink:

A bit late this post I guess but you dont need to take the drive shaft off to change a rear wheel bearing. I changed mine last night after it failed the MOT, and swapped it in about 40 minutes including filming.

Have a look here to see the easy way of doing it,
