    I Done One On A 2012 Focus.The DriveShaft Will Have To Be Removed im Afraid And Yes Gearbox oil will Need Draining.
    The Brearing Was Quite Expensive I Seem To Remember about €70:eek:
    Once The Shaft Is Off I Removed The Old Bearing With A Hammer and Chisel.
    I Then Used The old Bearing To fit the New One,
    The Old bearing Was On the Shaft Very Tight.
    I Hope This Makes Sense:D
