Rear Bearings and Hubs
home made puller in place. 36mm socket on the rear holding the rear inner race in place. About 20cm of high tensile threaded rod through the middle and some washers on the front of the hub to pull on it.
The shape of the inner bearing face means the hub easily centres itself. Turn the bolt on the front and slowly wind it in. Starts off nice and easy and just gets tight towards the last 1cm. There are lots of loud creaking noises towards the end sounding like you're over tightening it but it's ok. you'll know when it's fully on as the socket will slip on the nut rather than the hub turn as there's nowhere left for it to go.
