update
Hi, I changed my return idler bearings yesterday by just removing the track.
A couple of pointers if anyone is thinking of doing this. 1. Once the two inner 3/8" BSF bolts are removed the two hole retaining plate needs to come out, most likely stuck, tap it and use a flat bar with two pins sticking out one side to locate in these holes, then tap round with a hammer to release the plate. 2. You need a hydraulic spreader or a small ram which will fit between the side hull and wheel pin to jack the pin out, windings in new longer BSF bolts in the pin holes will help get the reach for the ram as it pushes the pin out. 3. Once the wheel is out and you fit sealed type bearings, always remove one of the seals from each bearing and repack them with grease, (Nearly all sealed bearings purchased will contain a tiny amount of grease), put in the bearing with the remaining seal on the outer sides. I also overhauled my rear brakes totally at the same time, complete strip down of expanders and adjusters, anyone got any internal components of these items in good condition for trade?, as I had to borrow a few bits off the mortar carrier. hope this helps out someone, kevin.

Greasing bearings
A trick I have used for double sealed bearings in dusty conditions is to fill the flutes of a 1.5mm drill with grease and drill a hole in the inner seal face. the grease traps the swarf to keep it out of the bearing. Then 1/2 fill the bearing with grease using a syringe. Lastly reseal the hole with silastic.
