Changing wheel bearings

(1/8) > >>

narked:
Got loose bearings on the front of the Disco, and figure rather than just trying to tighten them up and see if that cures it, I may as well replace them while I'm at it. Just wondered exactly what parts I need, and how much of a job it is to do?

Cheers,
Matt

drmike:
I'd just tighten them up and I do until they are actually shot.

It's not hard to change them though. In my usual helpful way I can't recall the details but you'll need to move the caliper which on the front means messing with bolts on the top of the swivel which is a real PITA.

I always try adjusting first - it's free!

yer id agree fairly easy even i did 2 mind u buy a proper hub spanner the cheap thing i got broke and i lost 3 " of knuckle....

i bought a impact socket to do it huge bit of metal and 30 quid but it did the job

floyd fan:
Done one of mine last weekend. Fifteen quid for the parts, easy job but as said try tightening firtst.

we replaced one of ours in a farm shop carpark in the middle of nowhere, in the dark, in the cold, with the help of derbysred ;)
