Guest Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 hey :) that would be cool, do you have the tool to remove the bearing ?/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 cheers hun :) this is turning into a nightmare. but all taken on board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 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 ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
