Hi guys i need a bit of advice on removal and replacing the OSF wheel bearing please never done one before and have been told that they are a pain in the arse to do, is this the case? Is there any special tool you need to press the new bearing in, as they are according to the haynes manual done on a press and fooking tight and should be done by a specialist. Im mechanicaly not to bad so wouldnt mind saving myself some dosh and do it myself.

Thanks
