I think I shall re-phrase that, stan is a nutter that used to have too much money  hub carriers inc bearing circlip and drive flange is 220 nowadays, bearings are £75, drive flange £90 ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Yeah I'm changing mine as there are 3 out of the 4 bolts that hold the brakes on using helicoils and two started to work their way out when I changed my brakes over the weekend. So might aswell get new hubs for piece of mind. ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi 6 (Standard) SoldPhase 3 Supercharged China GTi 6 (249.8 BHP) Sold Phase 3 Supercharged Diablo GTi 6 (443 BHP)Sold Nissan 350Z (300 BHP) |

£220 , I thought it would have gone up... I am hoping that having bought them only 3 years ago and the fact that the car hasn't done that many miles on them that I don't have to pay out for some new ones anytime soon. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

if you need a new drive flange just get to a scrappy and rob a hub off anything but a base model 306 xsara etc, even 406 flanges are the same.or find a member on here with one they don't need, though I think ECP/carparts4less can supply, just make sure its not at £9 as you might as well buy direct from pug/citroen. edit, not a bad saving... http://www.carparts4less.co.uk/search/629540020/p/home ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Cheers Dai If you're talking about a front wheel bearing then yes. As Mei says, you will a press although what some people do is to remove the hub at home and then take it to a garage along with the new bearing and get them to press it in. Most garages would charge about a tenner to do it, doesn't take long either.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

I suppose that's the problem with been self employed during a quite patch. You start doing jobs to save cash when you should be trying to find more work. I thing I'll leave the bearing to a professional with lifts and heat tools  ________________________________________ Xbox Live: DaicarvideoGuy, Forza 4 |

As for the fronts, I bought new hubs which also came with bearings already pressed into them. I am sure other bearing manufacturers are just as good like SKF etc, and probably a lot cheaper. Have you got a thread somewhere on your cars build? With the high boost SC and all these expensive new parts you fitted I would like a look ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

My near side wheel bearing went on a trackday at snetterton, drove home then my mate took the hub to his work (BMW dealers in Harrogate) it took half a day 20 tonne on the press with the reliefs lifting and oxy bottles to get the bearing out so be warned!  ________________________________________ Team Running Engine again!Team Negative Camber!

I've found the hardest part of changing wheel bearings is usually getting the bloody circlip out if they have corroded in.The last bearing i pressed out took 13 tonnes then went bang and spat the ball bearings out everywhere.  ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

the last 2 i have tried have been a nightmare, the circlips come out easy enough but with 20 tonne of pressure the bearing was still stuck solid. In fact the hub itslef was bending. Easier to fit a good used hub |
