    Go easy Daz!
    You won't need a bearing puller as I did the same to the front on mine when I fitted the locker and it was basically, a remove and refit. You do need how ever is something like a cold chisel and a hammer of course, to knock out the inner bearing cups in the hub, the top and bottom bearing cups in the swivel hub you need to knock out too. Under these cups is a small plate which can easily be damaged when knocking out the cups. But clean the underside of the cups right up and you will see two small indents where you can fit a, erm, knocking implement in there to push out the said cups. I didn't see them when I did it and butchered these plates in the process. You can buy these plate if you need.
    Ah wait! The only bearing I didn't do was the small needle roller bearing inside the hub, i think it is. As you do need a puller for that one. I cleaned the old bearings right out, they weren't pitted or lose in the cage so I regreased them and left it at that.
    Just get ready to have real dirty hands. Or if your like me I wear surgeons gloves so my skin is like cotton... Lol.
