If the set up is the same as the BX you'll need a puller to get the inner race off, I've been using a Clarke Knife edge puller for some time Product Code: 040210496 about ?23 inc Vat. There are other ways involving welding bits onto the inner, using a Dremel to grind through it etc but I reckon its worth the dosh to save the hassle, an ordinary 3 leg puller wont do it because you can't get behind it.

Clarke tools own the Machine mart chain - their full catalogue can be found on the site below. I think the Clarke range may be larger. Sorry - don't know if they export.

No problem - found it - "with a little help from my friends ..." [^]
Pete - that's indeed a very kind offer from you [8)][:I]
However I think they accept overseas orders - at least they have an email service for outside UK mainland customers.
Their main problem is of course not being able to predict p&p cost anywhere in the world - which probably means they have to produce a special order item (& retail price) - in order to let overseas customers use their standard secure site pay service.
Thanx anyway [^]

I had a lot of bother removing the disc from the hub,it was very tight, I ended up placing a length of flat bar ,50mm*12mm*350mm long,across the protruding edge of the hub and "G" clamping the ends to the disc then give the the centre of the flat bar a good blow with a hammer.
Watch out because there are two types of bearing with ABS the only differance being the dust seal.
