Plenty on the bay last time I checked. It shouldn't cost you more than a few beers either :wink:

According to Haynes all the same on 340+360 after 1986.

The lastest system was similar to that used on the 360s before hand, but with no additional seals.

I think you may need a press to remove and replace the actual bearing. The last time I attempted it I could not find a local garage to take them out and the dealer just said they had to 'burn them out'. I replaced the hub from a scrapper instead.
