Hi, does anyone know where I can get halfshafts and bearings pressed out (live axle), preferably near Brighton - my local garage doesn't have a press tall enough and the local vehicle engineering shop shut down years ago.

Haven't managed to get them done yet, but lines of enquiry so far - Sprabuild off Elm Grove, but their press isn't big enough and Colburns at Portslade.

Otherwise I'll be welding up a very long puller on Saturday afternoon!

Im out of the area so no ideas on who can etc but if you are going to go to the time of fabricating something can you hire what you need for 24 hours from somewhere

Google threw up these as bearing suppliers in Hove, might be worth a call as they may have an idea of someone they supply to who has what you need

These were the only people I found to press out a Citroen van wheel bearing a few years ago.

Thanks for replies, having tried Sprabuild (it didn't fit under their press) and decided I couldn't get to Colburns easily because I'm at work when they're open, I spent an evening with some 2" angle, a hacksaw, arc welder and big bolt, made a puller and it all came apart easily.

Now waiting for seals to arrive and I can push it all back together!
