NOTE you might like to wear safety glasses during this stage. They some times like to jump

Yeah there is a bearing and a retaining ring. You cut through the retaining ring the best you can then smash it appart with a chissel. Then attack the bearing.

As Rhino said, wear some safety gear.

Yep, that's the best way. The backing plate will prevent most presses being able to remove them. Just be careful not to nick your axles

If not a 2 to 3 ft length of 32nb pipe, slide it over the axel & use that as a slide hammer..

When fitting them back on, the bearing will slip all the way to the machined shoulder at the end. Put the axle between two heavy steel plates or a bearing plate and have the end of the axle/ backing plate up in the air. Shift the bearing plates against the sides of the axle so that the bearing is onto of them, and press down on the centre of the axle. Repeat for the retainer.

And your driveshaft bolts, and if your rear calipers are making heaps of noise its probably because the bolts are 3 full turns away from being finger tight 8O :oops: :D
