Very interesting video - Looked like one hell of a job. Thanks for highlighting all the issues.

Cheers 👍

if you put some weld on the bearing the puller will have something to grip on the hub and put the new baring in the freezer to shrink it

if I had a welder that might work...

Where did u get the bearings, I can't find the magnetic ones. Just the name magnetic. Which the sensor won't pick up

[@SNORKYMEDIA]

Mine came from Halfords (who get all their spares thru euro car parts) you can also look at carparts4less.co.uk who are eurocarparts but cheaper ??

The pinch bolt is the bolt on the spindle (the one you tried to drill out).

[@SNORKYMEDIA]

you are correct - I think I meant PIVOT bolt ( front one) rear one is the mounting bolt

[@williamfrench9973]

@@SNORKYMEDIA no, I meant pinch bolt. It’s the one the ball joint is held in with.

You need a windy gun my old mate.
Why did you only take the inside of the bearing first. You should of pushed the whole bearing out surely?.
