My SH300 has a grumbling bearing. I was hoping it was teh final drive shaft bearing as I could replace that myself. But no its the bloody driveshaft bearing and I dont have anything like the pullers required, so it looks like i'll have to get it booked in somewhere. As I normally do my won spannering I dont have a clue who to use, so can anyone recommend me a mechanic who would have the pullers and press required. They would need to be in the sarf essex or east/central ish London areas.
Thanks

Speak to Lawrence at Scootech in Bow. Great mechanic and won't rip you off.

Will do. Many thanks

I've got a hydraulic press in work that you are welcome to use. I'm in Forest Gate, E7. What pullers are needed?

if it helps.if its a blind bearing puller these are good value... i think http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-PCS-Inner-B ... 58955fa98a" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks for the replies and offer of use of the press. tis much appreciated. This is the bearing and how the manual shows to do it. My problem is the time to do it and if I dont have it I have to take the train! So I'm one of those people that wants it done magically during the night!

Scootech in Bow maybe your best bet as they should be able to do it blindfolded, as prob done lots of times, and they will have the kit, so time to strip and do the job should only be a few hrs, if you ring them they should be able to give you the time for job, which then gives you an idea of cost

I emailed them those pages over as a PDF, so we're crystal clear on what I want done, and asked for a quote. That was on Monday but I havent heard back from them?

Shouldn't be any harder to change than a wheel bearing?
Knock the old one out, gently tap the new one in, easy peasy.

Couldn't get the shaft out of the casing and dont have the tools or anything like it as shown in the manual. Never heard back from Scootech anyway so it looks like i might have to get a bit creative. WIll try my local bike shop though as they do scoots now and the mechanic they have rides a SH300 too.
