Alan,
 
Can you really pull the bearing off by hand? I would expect it to be a little
tighter than that. Also, how critical is the bearing location when installing
the bearing. My 100 manual says it must be in the right location within a
couple thousandths or else I'm reading it wrong.
 
Thanks,
Frank Powell

Simon -

Taking the hub off the car is typically a pretty easy thing to do.  Just
remove the axle (comes right out), and then unscrew the octagon then either
use a puller or hand pull the hub off the axle.

Then use a vise and press the stud out.  Putting a new stud in is a bit
difficult, I think the best I've heard is freeze the bolts and put the hub
in the oven at top setting thenpress together using a vice and alot of heat
pads!

Cheers,

Alan
