S40 (New) Engine 2.0D : offside driveshaft bearing

[msh]

Hi
S40 2005 2.0 diesel with 6 speed gearbax

The support bearing on the offside driveshaft has reached the end of it’s life. It’s the bearing that is bolted to the back of the engine to support the driveshaft.

1, Is the bearing available separately or does anybody know the size of it.
2, I have use of a workshop inc lathe so should be able to make tools to
remove and press the bearing back onto the driveshaft. Have anybody
done this ( tips or advice always gratefully received)
3, If I have to replace the driveshaft where the best place to get one from.

Thanks
Mark
