Hi,
    I changed the rear wheel cylinder in my son's 1.4 `94 Golf a few nights
ago and noticed that  the rollers on the ns rear were discoloured (brown)
and starting to show surface damage. How do I go about changing them? Do I
need any special tools other than drifts? I am intending doing both inner
and outer bearings. Advice would be appreciated,

regards,

David

Nope. Drifts and a few plasters for the skinned knuckles. Sometimes 
good to use a large socket that fits over the shaft to help put the new 
one back on.

TBH though, I'd just grease them up and leave them until they make a 
noise. Even then, you'll still have a while to get them done.

Thanks, Conor. I'm a veteran with the skinned knuckles, used to change the
front wheel bearings in my Montego every other week!
