I've got a spare pair of top mounts, the rubber and bonding is excellent, but the bearings are a little grumbly.

Is it possible to press the bearings out and replace them? has anyone done it, and have the bearing number?

It would be nice to have them as spares, they aren't the cheapest bits of rubber to buy.

Yes it is possible but a bit of a pain.

Pressing out is no good you need to grind off the 5 little taps at the back
the bearing's are NLA so you need a standard bearing 50 diamterx12 thick IIRC and then machine special inserts to get the correct inner diameter 10.05 IIRC

Put the bearing in with bearing lock and then stake it back in using a centre punch.

If you want to do it I'll check the bearing sizes and spec

Thanks, I'll pop one of the bearings out if its just a matter of grinding the barbs off.

Spinning up an adapter is no problem.

Cheers.
