What do I need for replacing wheel bearing
SeanStone - 17/1/11 at 05:36 PM

I've been replacing the studs on my rover and I will most likely need to replace the wheel bearing in the process.

I've looked it up and it seems I have 2 options.

The first being http://www.allcarsallparts.co.uk/product_details.php?productID=133264

And the second being http://www.allcarsallparts.co.uk/product_details.php?productID=143411

Which do I actually need to get? Obviously there is a big difference in price, but having not done this before I don't know which is necessary!

Apologies for my negligence as this is a very simple job to some, but hey, we have to start somewhere

Looks like the difference in the kits is whether or not you have ABS. If you've got ABS it's the dear one!!! I guess with ABS the bearing is sealed in the hub and can't be replaced separately so you have to buy the whole hub assembly. So, check if you have ABS.

No press required.

Can usually get away with a drift and a big hammer rather than a press - that said, sometimes its hard to find a hammer big enough.....
