GT-T LR w/bearing

[Santa'sBoostinSleigh]

my LR wheel bearing is fuxed on my GT-T
ive got the new parts of Revvy so im sorted in that dept
but when it comes time to fitting it am i better to:
A) take it to Toyota/other garage and get them to do the whole job or,
B) take the hub etc off, take to any old places with a press to install the new one then put back together myself?

i havent had the rear hubs off on my GT-T yet, and as they are drum handbrake, not sure if this will make things difficult or whatever


any help/suggestions?

I'd go for option 'b'
Drum handbrake' disc brake units have a few more bits to deal with, but not too much. If worried, and have access, just take a digi photo as disassembling.
option 'a' is no hassle however.

spoke to my neighbour who came over with a dead guinea pig asking if it was mine this evening and it actually turns out works at toyota
he said take the hub off, give it to him and he will press the bearing for me at work
primo
its just a matter of getting the massive nut off and so on

Did CB not buy you a massive torque wrench for Christmas? I thought that was top of the list

Haha that made me laugh. Yeah wheel bearings are easy when it comes down to it. I've done 3 or 4 on various cars and never really had a problem.

lol no thats one thing on my shopping list
a good torque wrench
and a welder
and a set of ratchet spanners
and getting the warranty on my fuxed powerbuilt ratchet

i think one of my mates has a socket to fit the big not (CV nut?)
he can come help me tomorrow
yay getting grubby on my day off before another mates wedding
im sure i'll scrub up fine
