hey all new here, owned a subura impreza for nr a yr now, not a wrx sti  she is just a sport.

can anyone help  with fitting my rear wheel bearings the garge want nr 200 and I have got that sortta money, is the anyone in the Littlehampton area that can fit them at a reduced cost :) 

Hey I'm in Yapton, I'm happy to come and have a look for you? :D

hey :)  that would be cool, do you have the tool to remove the bearing ?/

I'm in the same boat right now. If the bearing has been bad for a while it may have scored the hub too. I'm buying the whole hub with bearing for £50 and fitting it myself as its all nuts and bolts. I'm replacing the hub and sending mine away to pressed and check before fitting a new bearing in it. But this way the car is still on the road and not making a racket.

If the garage remove the old bearing and find the hub fubard you will be up **** creek trying to decide what to do about a new hub.

Oh, and welcome to the club [emoji6] [emoji5]

cheers hun :) this is turning into a nightmare. but all taken on board   

good jap bearings are 30 to 40 £ each set, hub bearing puller tool can be had for snip under £44 & good enough for diy enthusiasm & light trade use. these kits make it real easy & less chance of damaging a bearing during fitting. Hubs & spindle normally ok unless bearing got silly hot or seized & spun.

main trick is don't use cheap or non jap bearings & get it fitted by someone who knows what they doing or wheel bearing failure start becoming a monthly problem ...

ok cheers  all advice taken on board, picking up bearings today  costing 45 so gotta be ok  

My mate has his own garage so might be able to borrow a few tools! :D

sounds promising :) I have the bearings now I picked them up today

Wotcha and welcome - keep a camera handy and if you get stuck just post some photos up and it makes it easier to point you in right direction

thank you
