Matiz rear bearing
One of the rear bearings on my wife's Daewoo Matiz is getting more and more noisy... I've had a look in the workshop manual and it
doesn't look too difficult. It's got the bearings in the rear brake drum hub, which seems odd to me, but I've never had to attack
the rear bearings on a FWD car before!
I was just wondering if anyone on here has changed one, and whether there are any gotchas or special tools that may be needed.
cheers,
David

Seem to remember that set up on a mark 3 escort I once had. Just treat the drum as the hub, which is what it is.
Swearing at it when it's going wrong often helps, I find

Drift out the old bearing, press in the new with an suitably sized socket and wind up the nut to 24Nm, pull the ring pull, glug glug, ahhhhhhhh
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Many thanks - but I have one! Cost me all of a couple of quid off ebay (probably a pirate copy of the official one).
cheers,
David

OK - pretty much what I thought - no great struggle to get the drum off, I presume?

Integral brake drum.
They're all like that nowadays, I did my daughter's Corsa and it's a half hour job on that.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

my better half has a 800cc matiz and i'm of the opinion that, even though it's cheap to run, buy and insure it needs to die there
horrible little cars i've been tempted to crash it a few times, but then i remember that the engines about 1" away from my legs!

True - it's perfect for her (short hops in and out of town, etc.) but I hate driving it.
