Jack car up
Handbrake off
Wheel off
Remove split pin
Remove hub nut
Remove drum (may take some force ;) )
Front roller bearing will fall out once drum is removed
For rear roller bearing there is a rubber grommit holding it in place remove and bearing will come out
Then clean away all the grease
There are slots in the drum for removing the inner shells use a chizzle or big screwdriver and a hammer and tap them out

Then tap the new shells in place but make sure they go in even ;) or they may crack, use an old socket and tap them in untill they are in fully

Then grease the new roller bearings and fit the rear first then the new grommit then the front

Then put some grease on the stub axle and refit the drum, refit nut and tighted untill there is no resitance then slacken it half a turn so the drum can rotate freely Then fit new split pin and refit wheel Check for any play incase it needs adjusted

Job done :thumbs:

When you're pushing the new race outers in, easy way is to use the old outers as a drift to save damaging the new ones.

Yep :)

Wheel off
Drum off
Split pin out (dont forget to use a new one)
Castle nut/hub nut off (torque setting dont forget)
First smaller bit comes out
Then bigger one will come out
If you cant get the collars out of the drum twat them quite hard because i got stuck on that part too :lol:
Then grease the new ones up and rebuild

I think that is the order and that is everything :o but you know.

Its a 20 minute job when you know how TBH :)
