About to have my first go at replacing Ultra Torque bearings, any tips on removing the circlip? What tool do I need?

I just held one end and pushed on the other with a small screwdriver to get the removal started.

Or you could buy a circlip tool.

There's a youtube vid for the process. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ7VlQkCT9M

you need the correct puller and installation tool.

Video shows replacing the seal, but since I didn't get seals, I've left the old ones in place

One.

So let's just say I'm drivin' this buggy...
and if you fix your attitude you can ride along with me.

Yep. Small screwdriver for me too.

Only thing to take note of is the direction of the seal, which I seem to recall getting upside down !
