Excellent tutorial! So good in fact it gave me the confidence to try and replace the bearings in the hubs and freehub of my Fulcrum 7's. They came out with a few well directed welts of a rubber mallet, trouble was getting the new ones back in using a socket as a drift (they don't have a through axle to use as a press). One side was pretty easy but the other side wouldn't go in straight. Tried several times, including the heat the hub freeze the bearings trick. Ended up buggering up a couple of the bearings. Bit the bullet and just ordered these:

Given that the LBS quoted about £50-£60 thought it made more sense. Anyhows if anyone wants to come round and use them you can in exchange for a few quid contribution. Be better than f*%$ing up your wheels! Live in Balham. PM me if it would be of use.
