Bearing (no pun intended) in mind I don't have a tool rack full of drifts, is this worth tackling myself?
If, as I suspect, it may not be, can anyone here reccomend a London Based LBS that can be relied upon to do a good job?
cheers
Given the right tools (nylon hammer, drift/old screwdriver, selection of old sockets (for knocking the new bearings in) and possibly a small seal pick for removing circlips depending on what axle adaptors you have, it's a very easy job which can be accomplished in less than half an hour for both wheels.
Fox - Gearing up to tackle my rear Pro II this weekend and was worried about lack of drifts.
Did my front, was easy once someone on here explained that I should hit the bearing from the rear to remove!!
Cheers all, just bought a full drift kit from UK Bike store for twenty quid, have a vice and a rubber mallet, so job's a good 'un.

Bear in mind it's a lot easier when everything is squeaky clean and the hub isn't attached to a wheel!
Changing the hub bearings is easy. I've got to say that a lot of people say you can use sockets. You can - but run a risk of knackering the bearings and not getting a proper fit.
I did the cheap socket set option and it was ok. However, £20 isnt a lot to pay for the right tools. I've gone and bought them now. Decent tools last years.....
If I got one of those kits from UK Bike for my Pro II hubs, would I be able to use the same kit on my Bulb hubs too, or do I need to get a specific Bulb kit?
