Re: Au wheel bearings, easy to replace yourself?

That howto is spot-on. My RHS hub slid off easily. The LHS one (which was noisy and allowed slight wheel wobble when tested) had signs of water in it and was rusted onto the stub axle so tightly that I needed to remove the spindle from the car and press the stub axle out of the bearing with a hydraulic press. The inner ring is still stuck on the stub axle. It's soaking overnight with WD40. If it won't budge in the morning I'll try heating it if I have any gas for my blowtorch... outside just in case any residual WD40 flames up!
