thanks for that . is it a knob head job or should i take it to some one , i have the torque setting for a replacement bearing would they be the same . am in the middle of replacing the steering drop arm , everyone said do it your self , they said it might be a sod to get the old one off , you all lied it is f**cking impossible. pullers , heat , pry bars , splitters
bought and done the lot . tomorrow its cutting disc time unless you know something better
