centre bearing on the tail shaft

How do u take off this bearing? i can see a large nut on the tail shaft going into the gearbox and dont know if i have to undo this to get the center bearing off.

Can any one shed some light on what i have to do?

 

there is a tech for this in the tech section at the top of the page. go there and search for "centre bearing". you'll see a tech titled "How to replace the driveshaft center bearing". Have fun!!!

 

Yes you do, and its a bastard as it will be tight as. I have only ever managed to get them off with a rattle gun.

 

also how do you guys manage to get the bearing off without a press?

 

A big hammer LOL

 

im just about to do mine now, ill see how i go and get back to you.

 

I could either press it off OR get the nut off, turn it around screw it back on and persuade it to come out with a hammer and some WD40

 

Use a pulley puller.

 

Mine just slipped off with a gentle love tap...

But yes, bastard nut, need rattle gun.

 

with the big 27mm nut i took it to a guy to take off and then every thing came off with a little bit of elbow grease lol.
