Fiesta Mk6 (52) Rear wheel bearing replacement...HELP!

[D O G]

Bit of a crisis - the rear wheel bearing on the Mrs.' feestie is shagged. Both are in fact, but one appallingly so (collapsed today on the motorway - had to crawl back 5 miles on the shoulder at 10mph).

Question is simple really - the bearing is seated in the drum, is it not, so if I take the drum off, then take to a garage for them to press out (providing a replacement bearing), then refit, all is good?

I'd consult the Haynes book of lies, but I don't have one for this car.

Thankyou knowledgable peeps.

Well they're off. The o/s one (which was the really bad one), came out in its constituent parts - the inner half was totally fuxxored.

Hey ho, guess I'm working from home tomorrow.

I usually use the old bearing outer cases as a drift to whack the new ones in...
