Normally by the time you notice the bearing has failed its done much more expensive damage to the rest of the axle

i got it as a project car swapped my ps3 for it lol so unsure how long its been like it as i know its been off the road since dec2009 but torsion bar etc is to flexible etc so i was just replacing the lot anyway but cant get the damn rear drum off to get at the handbreak cable and i dont have a angle grinder either. reckon my big hammer will ever crack the casing ?

i'd personaly replace both flexis and cables on a axle change even more so if the cars been stood since 2009
