How to fit front wheel bearing?

[LegoHead]

I can't find a guide on here. I went to try this afternoon and got to my first hurdle, I need to get a bloody big socket.lol.

Any advice on how to do the whole job would be great. Are there any more special tools I will need?

jack?

spanner to take wheel off?

Oh dear, Renault didnt make them strong enuff for your obscene power then Dave?

Not done one but most fwd cars these days the bearing is pressed into the hub, then the flange pressed into the bearing and usualy a bit of a b*****d to do. Much harder than a rear 1*2 bearing.

Get a bearing, get it all apart and take the knuckle/hub into a friendly local garage and see if they will do the hard part

press, circlip pliers, cut off tool, hammer chisel etc

They are a right b**ch to get out of Clio Hubs, the fact they rust quite badly doesnt help, best to take your hubs off and find someone that has a 10ton press.
