An ultimately frustrating day today.. Got the driveshaft out no problem, old seal popped out without too much issue (it is the wrong size) but...
I just can't get the driveshaft back in without assistance as the hub with disc, caliper and new pads is just too heavy to manoeuvre accurately enough on my own to avoid the risk of damaging the new seal

Previously I did the job with a bare hub... I'm very reluctant to strip the hub again...
I have sent out for assistance... Should only take an hour tops, with tea served... Not sure when the assistance will arrive just yet but all I know is that with those driveshafts so firmly stuck into the hubs has been a constant source of aggro all the way through this job
Still, almost there...
