Hello guys .after 15 months of often tedious work restoring my imported 51 F1 pickup its all finished ,it passed the u.k m.o.t (ministry of transport test) runs sweet and now ready for registration then hopefully a summer of driving and showing and MANY thanks for the answers and help from the barn on this project . the one fly in the ointment is when driving it to the test centre the fan bearing broke up and its now all floppy .I,m going to attempt to take it apart probably tomorrow ,I havnt a clue whether this will be a simple job or how to begin and will I need a press to remove /install the bearing ? has anybody done this and could you give me some pointers before I start , many thanks ... Jim.
