IMPORTANT NOTES
A long bar was used to release the initial fusion tension between the wheel bearing and housing with the tool, but do not use this when installing the new bearing as the more controlled use of a standard wrench slowly and surely should be used .

Coat the wheel bearing housing bore with
Molybdenum Molykote grease G 052 723 A2 (sometimes included in fitting kit) high temp/high pressure.

Do not tilt the wheel bearing while inserting, keep it perfectly straight and inline with the hub bore. This is the hardest thing to do and will take patience and gentle pressure.

I found I needed to tap the bearing around evenly for quite a while until the bearing found it's path and I was confident the pulling tool would drive the bearing home.

Pull the bearing into the bearing hub housing until the bearing meets the inner shoulder and the metal ring circlip is heard to click into position

Do not grease the lock-nut thread on the drive shaft.

Grease the propeller shaft spine only with polycarbamide grease
Polycarbamide grease G 052 142 A2

take your time; this is a precision job not for the faint hearted.
