    How hard is it to change a rear wheel bearing on a vtr. I have been told I need to use a puller to get the hub off. Can I remove it without going out and buying the tool

    Generally it's far easier to replace the whole hub, which can be had for around £50-60.

    Thanks.

    After a closer look the hub and bearing don't appear to be on the stub pin square. Could I just push it on so its square or do I need to remove it to do that

    and yes it's piss easy to remove it without a hub puller,.just pry the side with a chisel or screwdriver tapping it with a hammer, I removed four today in a scrappy, all came out with the bearing, and ones on my car now
