lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

very funny burp!!!!

i have a corby trouser press but i dont think that will do it!!

how much does it cost to get them pressed fella any idea!!

id be impressed to know

 

[Jay Payne]

no idea mate, im in the trade so did mine for free. shouldnt be much tho. Just take the discs and bearings to a local garage and wave a tenner under a mechanic's nose.

If u were more local to me id do them for you

You can do it without a press..but you would be mad to try it..and you probably end up wrecking the seal and squirting the grease out.
I would defo get it dont professionally.
