Propshaft centre bearing replacement
Discussion
Ok so I've done it replaced the centre bearing I've borrowed the pics just thought I'd write up how it was done if anyone is interested
Remove from car and you have this
Cut away existing rubber that is left holding the hanger to the bearing slide down the shaft away from you
Cut through the steel and rubber casing to expose the bearing
You will be left with the bearing cut the casing with the grinder until its all removed
Grab a big punch these pics show the bearing still there as I cut mine off I had more to hit to ensure the snap ring popped and the shaft started moving it too a couple of good wacks
And then you have this just like a cv joint really just make sure before the shft comes out you mark both side of prop to make sure it goes back in on the same spline as it will need rebalancing if it doesn't after you have it apart reassemble with the new bearing .....
