Bob, as long as you are buying a new bearing and seal and assembling the
tools to replace them, you might as well replace both sides at the same
time.  It's likely then that you won't ever have to pull either rear hub
again.

Subject: [Healeys] Rear Hub Pulling

Well, folks, went to take a look at the rear brake shoes, spotted a bit 
of oil inside the drums, pulled the axles to have a look and, lucky me, 
found I've got one bad rear wheel bearing (and probably two bad seals).

Who knows the magic on how to pull a hub with only hand tools and a bit 
of grunt?  Should I replace both bearings, or only the bad one?

TIA,
bs
