After getting silly high prices to change 2 wheel bearing!
I thought i would strip them out last night on the drive!
Just though i would share with u guys!
Its not as bad as i though it would be!

Let us know if you need torque settings for anything..

Good work, are you trying to source some better aftermarket ones. If so I'd be very interested to see how you get on and if you can find a better long term option than the standard bearings.

I have been looking around! But as it stands at the min!
I am just going to put standard ones back in there!
Lets see how long they last

What is the setting for the bolt that hole the drive shaft in place?
Thanks mate

Reading with interest

Let us know outcome?....must be a non OEM solution to this issue?

A photo guide and list of required tools would be very handy too

Which bolt?


Guessing it number 8

8 - Bolt
q 200 Nm +180°
q Always renew if removed

I bought SKF aftermarket bearings. The Kit comes with the Hub bolt. But I havent changedthe bearings yet, as they have been quiet since the car was standing 2 months.
