rear wheel bearing

[172sport]

right the rear wheel bearing on my 172 (2002) has gone and am thinking of changing it myself can anybody give me any advice or tips on how easy or hard it will be? thanks

very hard, it is pressed into the brake disc, you'll need to get it pressed out by a garage, then the new one pressed in. One of mine went, replaced both when I upgraded my discs and pads.

think i will let the garage sort it then thanks for the help

if you already have bearings pressed into the discs how hard are they to change?

I got one side done for under £70 (parts and labour) from a mobile mechanic.

quite easy.

1 bolt holding the whole disc/bearing on
2 bolts holding the caliper on.
