HI guys. I need to replace a rear wheel bearing. I have undone the four bolts but the half shaft doesnt want to move. Any good tips ? Would heat be a good idea? (there is no oil in the axle at present)

I did this last year, and all you need is a sllide hammer that you can attach to the lugnuts. One or two gentle taps, and it'll come out. THe old bearing has to be pressed off, and the new one on. I had my local LBC mechanic do it. You'll need heat to get the new bearing retainer on, but you shouldn't need any heat to get the half shaft out of the axlehousing. Edward

Thanks for that. An improvised slide hammer did the trick, although it wasnt "gentle taps" !
