Did mine a couple years ago, just make sure the new bearing is completely packed with grease. Straight forward really

had the same issue mate. the outer bearings holding it in place?

i spend ages twatting it one with my biggest hammer. i then broke the bearing bit by bit and the drum slid over the top once i got the barrel shaped bearings out... you may need to removed the stub axle. there's x4 bolts round the back wich may involve unbolting a rear strut to get in at it. get the drum off first though. sometimes take some persuading


edit- also once the new one is fitted and as said in above comment DO NOT put it too tight, the weight of a spanner should do it. pin in job done

I use a hub puller, think it was like 8 quid off amazon, well worth the money!

Make sure the new bearings are in flat/level.

it'll be the lip on the drum stopping it coming off, not the bearing. wiggle it, hit with a hammer, and pry bar it over the brake shoes. then before refitting the drum, grind the lip off and clean the braking surfaces

Have you took the hand brake off?

A hammer normally loosens it off enough.

Once you've got it off, hopefully the whole bearing will come off in the hub and not left stuck on the stub axle.

If it has stuck on, you'll need to grind it until almost through and then tap it with a cold chisel until it splits and pops off.

The rule of thumb with the nut is do it up tight, the slacken it off till the washer moves with a screwdriver.

I've always used pry bars to get the drum off, and a punch to get out the race, then a socket to fit the new one.

i actually remember me saying those exact words a couple of month ago doing exactly the same job as you and everyone was saying just bash the fcuker off!!
so i did, got the little centre ring bit moved out a tiny bit but it wouldn't got any further... so i then got some nose pliers and screw drivers and broke the thin metal casing that holds the barrel bearing together... after that was broke i used tweezers to get the barrels out (sausage fingers) once they were out (fell out) the drum slides over it no probs....
then you'll need to remove the stub axle. get the centre bit of the bearing in a vice and tap it out. ne probs

Yeah, mines very similar. Simple tool, but does the trick.

Search for Draper 13916 100-115 mm Universal Hub Puller on amazon, that's the one I use. I'd give it more than 1 star rating though
