Wheel bearings

Postby fez » Tue, 03 Sep 2013 11:34 +0000

Looks like my front passenger side wheel bearing is on its way out, am I right in saying the hole hub gets replaced? Does this make it easier(it makes it dearer anyway). has anyone done it by themselves before or do you still need a press?

Ah they can last forever.There is no life span as such.Once they are good when you get them they may last forever. 20e per hub !!! Cant go wrong for that and you can fit them yourself in 30 minutes!! I can show you what to do

Finally got this done at the weekend. Simple enough had I not noticed that I had a seized brake caliper too! Got sorted with one from autocheck though and saved a fortune on getting it done by a garage.
