Hi
Just put MK1 Eunos roadster on the road its a 1990 imported 2000 I’ve done extensive under body rust removal and treatment then Painted, I’ve also done the boot and sprayed.
Also done and protected and sprayed drivers and passenger floors.
Fitted chassis support rails.
Then fitted 2 New tyres and taken for first MOT since not used in 2017 after full engine service and oils gearbox and differential, and silicone coolant and air hose change basically a recommissioning.
It passed MOT no advisories and on the road ,I noticed from rumbling when turning left so changed both the front wheel hubs with New bearings.
Now need advice on rear wheel bearings changing without press ideas please.

Hi.
I did my fronts and rear last year. Fronts are easy. Rears can be a pig as a lot more work involved. You will need a press. Main issue might be getting shaft out of the hub. They tend to sieze. You might already know all of this. I had to press the shaft out then the bearing sat for 30 minutes with 25 tonnes on it plus heat before it went. The other side broke the hub/knuckle at 30 tonnes pressing out the old bearing Not trying to put the willies up you but be prepared for a fight. You can get the old ones out with butchery and i would suggest this rather than pressing. As for putting the new ones in,…piece of ■■■■ with a press but you can chill the bearing in the freezer overnight and heat up the freshly cleaned knuckle then gently and as evenly as possibly tap the bearing in with a whacker and a brass or wooden drift. Keep you fingers,toes and gonads crossed throughout.
