Proof I'm not a mechanic or engineer

When a pressed-on bearing is removed, is it reuseable?

Hi Chris
I am not sure of the definitive answer but provided it was removed with no damage i can see little reason why it can not be refitted however i have found my local bearing company to be very helpful and most bearings are not greatly exspensive. If its a difficult to get at bearing would it not be cost effective to replace it anyway?
Glad you seem to be making steady progress. It must feel like you have had major surgery and you just want the pain to stop.

Are you going to Mull this year

It's my wallet that wants the pain to stop! It all seems to be outgoing money at this stage.

The bearings I'm thinking about are the differential output bearings - not the sort you expect to wear out in the lifetime of a car, and getting hold of new ones'll hold things up, (again).

I doubt if I'll be on Mull this year.
