16v rear bearing HELP!!!

[clean16v]

car was in the air today, brushed past the rear wheel and thought the boody thing was gonna fall off! So i need a new bearing, heard that they aint easy to fit though? Are tehy pressed into disc, are they difficult to fit? any ideas/info would be great

 

[cliosportcraig]

The rear ABS discs already have the bearing pressed into them if that helps

 

[BenR]

Yup..just buy the ABS disc which will fit perfectly.....only 55 quid iirc.

 

[Adams_16v]

i fitted my own, probably not the best approach, but i had no other way but to hammer it in slowly with some thick cloth over it, and ensuring that it went in level all the way round.

 

[clean16v]

not got ABS, just ordered the bearing for 24 quid......my garge reckon if the old bearing is really bad thay may ahve problems getting it off? bull sh*t i reckon!

 

[cliosportcraig]

you dont need ABS to fit the rear ABS discs mate !! they just fit straight on !! youll end up paying more in labour with a seperate bearing

 

[BenR]

yup....jsut get the disc...then you slap it straight on....the only diff is the ABS ring on it, and that doesnt matter since you dont have an ABS pickup.

 

[clean16v]

how acn it be more? rear ABS discs cost 100+ quid dont they? bearing is only 25!

So your bearing, plus labour will ad up to more. And when you consider that you get a new disc with it.

This is for one rear disc with a bearing already fitted, if your rear disc look like they could do with replacing then this is the best option

Rear discs are a piece of piss to fit and so is the bearing

Buy a gen ren bearing for about 40 quid, take your hub off, take it to either ren themselves or a specialist and get them to press it in for about 20 quid. Then re assemble it and get your tracking done again.

whole wheel bearing job takes about 1 hr usually from rolling in to going home...

sticking areas can be removing driveshaft from stub axle, if it was not lubed when it went in...

Bearing is about £35 from us, (its a genuine one)
