Wheel bearings

<< < (2/6) > >>

Guy90:
You need a hub nut spanner and some circlip pliers. Refitting is the reversal of removal but make sure you get the seals in square and that the outer bearing race is seated correctly.

Spin the hub as you do it up to seat the new bearings and make sure you do not overtighten each nut. Don't forget the lock washer and use lots of decent grease.

You don't. I'm assuiming that was a reference to the shim(s) between the driving member and the circlip.

Shims are prob for the swivel housing

You'll need a drift and a hammer too in order to get the shells out of the hub.

It is a fairly simple job.. just give yourself plenty of time.
