Rear wheel bearing done. Pain in the arse as the brake pipe to cylinder nuts were seized solid. Got there in the end. Just a waiting game for the other side to go now

Was the old and new bearing easy to get out/in?

Not to bad, bit of a pain.

It was only because the disc cutter was a bit pony. Had I had an easier time grinding the bearing and race down to the point it was splitable with a chisel then not too bad.

We couldn't get in in the press either, we used a hollow tube and a hammer, did the trick, something like scaffold would do it, we used the end of a gearbox stand.

Still only took around 30mins with the poor discs cutter and all the sodding about finding something to use to seat the bearing.
