wheel bearings?
this mights sound a stupid question, but how the heck do you determine which wheel bearings you need, if you need to replace them - which I do.
My car as a worn wheel bearing on the rear at the drivers side. having never replace ojne of these before, how can I determine which bearing pack I
need? (it looks like they differ from sierra model to model and by year to year).
any help appreciated?

take hub off, take hub to motor factor, get new bearing, replace?
is that an option?

But How can they sell you the wrong thing if you don't know which is the correct thing.

Thanks, my local factor never comes across as the brightest of bulbs, but if they are marked on the back edge, then there is only so far he can go
wrong.
cheers

as above it's written on them
plus if you do a google search with that number you'll find the bearings come up. Their just standard industrial bearings really and quite
available still, even cortina wheel bearings can be bought brand new from non car suppliers.
