well anyway , had to take the whole leg out as the hub would not part from the damper assy as the bolt was too tight, but getting the hub and bearing out has prooved to be too much of a job for even a very large vice , and it will need to be pressed out with a hydraulic press and then the new one pressed back in the right way round so i have had to leave the pressing bit to my local garage,as they have the right tools ( i hope), then its just the case of reassembly....
