Hi Guys

I have removed the rear wheel and hub of my father-in-Laws Mk1 1.8 focus to change the bearing.

I have found that the existing bearing is a tapered bearing/race on the hub and a pressed in bearing with a tapered recess on the brake drum. This is different to the straight bearing kit I have bought as a replacement.

Is this a direct replacement or do I have the wrong bearing. All of the Pics I see on Ebay etc are the straight bearing that I have.

Also will I need a press to get the old bearing out of the drum

Thanks

Trevor

Now Sorted

It wasnt 2 parts to the bearing but the original had split in 2 and looked like 2 separate
items until I took them off.

It did need a local workshop with a 30 ton press to get the bearing out.
