Front wheel bearings

[mackat]

The strut should come out of the hub without needing to remove that bolt. To free up the TRE turn onto full lock (as if the front of the wheel is pointing in towards the engine bay) and hit the side of the hub casting where the TRE spigot goes through, hit it hard. Obviously undo the nut first else it won't be able to drop out lol. Spraying a bit of penetrating fluid on everything first should help too.

Thanks Poodle - will give that a go.. might have to buy myself a bigger hammer
