Hey guys,
wondering if anyone could help me... any ideas on how to chance the rear wheel bearing on my 172??

 

[p3rcy1]

i think there pressed into the disc's so it would be easier to buy new discs with them already in but im not 100% sure so dont quote me on it lol

 

[Sophie172]

i know they're pressed on and i've managed to get hold of a press... well something along that line, i only did the brakes a couple of weeks ago so no chance there lol

Did you change the bearings along with the discs or did you replace with the old bearings?

Step 4.

replaced one (not myself)... now the passanger side has decided to explode on me so thought i'd give it a go if i can find out how.

Best fitted as pairs really. Whole package available including discs, bearings and ABS ring from usual people, including Yozzasport. You can knock out the old bearing after removing all the other internal bits and press in new one, but care is needed and a good hydraulic press too.

Hope that helps.
