Jota LHS Rear brake bracket fitment

[piranha-bro2]

Try a bit of gentle heat on the wheel bearings.

Yes. Definitely need some heat. Should be able to drift them out from the other side, pushing the bearing spacer to one side. Move the drift to different positions as you hammer

Wheel bearings all removed - but maybe not the orthodox way.  Tried without success with a blind bearing puller, an expansion bolt per other forum posts, and then repeats with heat, drifts and anything which seemed to fit.  In the end I took a Dremel with a cut off disc and cut into the inner race to remove a crescent shape, that enabled the ball bearings to come out, then the inner race itself and thus remove the spacer and allow a suitably sized socket on an extension to be applied with hammer to the bearing at the other end ...

The big issue I had was getting any kind of purchase on the bearing with any form of tool - puller, drift, bolt etc. There was very little of the inner race protruding due to the spacer being almost the same size. Anyway, very satisfying to get them all out.

Cheers for all the suggestions.

Here's another suggestion ............. do not try to reverse the process when fitting the new bearings  (bolt)
