pedrosixfour Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 You are going to have to hit the inner part of the hub from behind, usually a large (impact) socket which will just fit through the bearing is the best/only thing to use. The real problem is trying to support the outer part of the assembly in a uniform manner so it doesn't shatter, deform or generally make a mess of the parking brake backplate and the disc brake stone guard.

brettjones Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 sorry mate but when i did both of my rears last year i had to use a hydraulic press it took over 5 tonnes of pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 sorry mate but when i did both of my rears last year i had to use a hydraulic press it took over 5 tonnes of pressure yep, take it to a machine shop and get them to press it out, they'll probably charge about a tenner and you'll still have all your fingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(my way is more rewarding though, honestly) That being said I do have a 200 ton press sitting in the corner of the workshop should I decide its a lazy day.
