I have done a Manta B, I think they are basically the same

Someone one here was selling bearings, have a look at this thread

Opel GT Source have them out of the USA

However I think they get a lot of their parts from Splendid Parts in Germany

Hi Jack,

There's this one on Ebay at the moment for £4......

I did mine last year, not hard, just remove the halfshaft and take it to your local garage to have the old one removed and the new one pressed on, I think they charged me a tenner? Job done!!

Cheers,

Alf.
