Definitely needing the drivers side done now as I’m getting quite a drone when steering left and weight is on the drivers hub, don’t leave your car for long periods kids

Anyway, I’ll get both front done as I’m sure these could well be original with mileage etc

Are these press in/out type bearings though, or can they be done without means of a mechanical press? I’m sure SKF had a kit with flange attached previously, but they don’t list it now from what I can see

I don’t have access to that kind of equipment so just to see if I need to book it in with a local garage instead

Also, any recommended bearings other than SKF that will be good quaility people have used?

They bolt in from the rear of the hub, use a decent quality tool as the heads are shallow.

Generally if an SKF is available, I go out of my way to use it, I don’t go looking for others.

^Totally this

The problem is they only stock them without the flange, I’m sure they done them with before

How does the flange remove, will I need a puller? Likely a garage job as I don’t have one to hand

Puller or press or suitable size drift / socket and it should tap out. I don't remember any dramas doing mine.
