also flexi pipe not listed so will use any pipe that's the same size and shape and get metal pipe made up to match the ends seems like the best option. Imagine that's the best option for any job on the bongo have tried the nut extractors mentioned before to no avail so think I might be cutting 14mm bolt that fits through back plate drill out and fit new nut and bolt didn't realise it would be this much bother to get a bearing changed

Re: brake pipes
hi  
  all back at it now managed to remove brake pipe (well the remains) looks like flexi pipe ok all I have to do now is find some one who can press off old wheel bearing and press on new one   
  so I can refit half shaft then I can start rebuilding and fit new brake pipe etc;  
			
									
									
						Re: brake pipes
I am sure a local garage will do it I used to pay £10 but now have my own press

Re: brake pipes
Hi, winchman tried the local engineering comp this afternoon and they said they can't do it without destroying the back plate ? I used to use them for heads and converting old cars to unleaded etc; back in the 70s & 80s (when I used to customise cars) was surprised when they said can't do it
			
									
									
						Re: brake pipes
Is the bearing on a shaft?
