front hub bearing

I was able to use arubber mallet /or neoprene hammer and tap the two parts of the hub apart without any problem
evenly so the hub pieces can apart without forcing them
the book states use a hub seperator ?

then regreased the bearing and putting in new seals then refitting
no worries
the macpherson struts can be removed in one piece without special equipment just undo the 2 bolts on the steering knuckle after undoing the three smaller nutsin the engine bay
if you intend lowering or reconditioning the units yourself then a spring compressor and much care will be needed and a rattle gun for the main strut nut at the top .
