Well, I have both my front and rear suspensions done on the MGB...Wheeeew. Now I'm trying to replace the front wheel bearings. I ordered kits from VB. I've never done this before.
My trusty Bentley manual gives me the typical "Withdraw the bearing retaining washer, outer bearing, shims, spacer, inner bearing, oil seal collar, and oil seal. The outer bearing races should be left in the hub unless they are to be renewed." The VB kit contains everything. The bearing retaining washer and outer bearing come out easily. The oil seal collar stayed on the swivel axel. How the **** do I get the oil seal out? AND I assume that I'll leave the outer bearing race in place since I don't have proper equipment to press it out and new one back in. Any problem you see with that? Guess I mostly need instruction on the oil seal. Thanks ya'll...
