Hi i am looking to replace my rear wheel bearings have already bought bearings and shims as well as trailing arm bolts and bushes etc. So hopefuly will go smoothly one thing i still need is a bearing set up tool which seems like a lot of money for one-off use. Has anyone got one i could borrow / hire / buy cheaply ? I live in south yorks Cheers
Alternatively could anyone recommend someone locally who may wish to carry out the work?

When you buy the bearings make sure they are not cheap as in made in Japan or Austria use only timkin I can set them up if you bring to me the bearing carrier or I can do the whole job

Thanks for the reply already bought the full bearing kits and shims from corvette central must admit not looked at the make but assume they are pukka Have someone provisionally set up to do the work but just short of the bearing / shim set up tool if possible would like to use him if not are you fairly local to rotherham ?

To do the work correctly you will need
A tool to press out the spindle
A tool to set up the bearings and a dial gauge to measure the end play
A good selection of shims
A bearing puller to remove the outer bearing
A tool to start the pulling through the spindle
A large socket to finally torque up to at least 90 ft lbs
May as well install a new front bushing ,a tool is needed for that also
