Hi guys, how easy is a front wheel bearing to change, and what should I look out for? I have a 100 ton press at my disposal.________________________________________

Piece of p**s to do but you may need oxy-acetlyne to heat the inner brace that gets stuck to the actual hub!!!But yeah easy enough to do if you do/done things similar before,remember to watch how you press it as to not bend anything!! ________________________________________ cherry rallye daily (the money pit) |

Good advice, the last one off my track car took ten hours with 20 tonne press on it then oxy acetylene as well to get it moving.......  ________________________________________ Team Running Engine again!Team Negative Camber!

I bought a couple of hubs for mine around 5 years back when I wanted to freshen everything up. I think they were around £200 each back then - I'd be horrified to think how much they are now...________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |
