Hi Simon,I’ve already fitted the bearing into the housing, which was pretty snug fitment
The thing at the minute is the 17mm nut that holds the pipe into the pump
I’ve already given it some effort and it didn’t move, and I don’t want to give myself another problem as I’ve had to disconnect the oil cooler pipes to get the power steering pump out
Cheers Jamie

Probably something like that Matt
I do have some ROST ice which I’ll use to see if I can get any shrinkage on the shaft
Cheers Jamie

So just got my hubs back with the new bearings installed. It took 17 tons of hydraulic pressure to shift the old ones, but they’re all good now
Also split the cv joint from the driveshaft as the rubber looks cracked, still fit a new one this afternoon
Currently working on getting the bearing out of the power steering pump and whilst it is taking some effort, I can definitely hear and feel noise in the old bearings, so it’s a job worth doing
Cheers Jamie For anyone who doesn't have access to a hydraulic press. I used to be a mech fitter for a concrete floor company. They used ride on power floats for finishing the surface for a mirror finish for FLTs to run on. The gearboxes should get thrashed pretty regularly and out in the "field" I had to rebuild. To remove the outer race I used to run a bead of weld inside the outer race all the way around, flip the box over and go for a cuppa. When tea drunk and race cooled down it would have fallen out with gravity.

Quick picture in the google drive of the Kevlar friction plate I’ve just got back from CG Motorsports, and then onto fitting it
Also managed to get a new OE rear engine mount from Steve at Alternative autos as the original one isn’t in the best condition, so for £60 it will last another 25 years or so
Cheers Jamie
