Hi there Paul .You find that they are very hard to remove unless you know someone that has a bearing press ..I have just done one myself but could not wait untill Monday so I used a hammer on it but I would not recomend it ....

Hi, Thanks all for your help.... I'll put the hammer back and go around the local garages see if I can buy them a drink in return for the use of their press!
