Rear wheel bearings...

Christopher · Feb 4, 2009

Where's the best place for these? Mine have recently started to drone slightly.

Am i better off buying the bearings separately, and getting them pressed into a new set of discs?

I might as well replace the discs too, as they are original.

Can someone suggest the cheapest and best way of getting them changed please? GSF?

I might fit them myself, if i can get them pressed in. Depends on how much fitting is, and how lazy i'm feeling.

Thanks in advance.

i had rears done by rs murray (paul's parents in leeds) for 79 a side, think they said call it 140 in the end. but prices have gone up sweet cheeks so is just a guide line figure.

Ahh, cheers.

Was that inclusive of parts and labour, Jamie?

Easy job IIRC. I could bring tools and we could probably get it done in the pits at Oulton!

I got bearings from ECP (eurocar parts) and had mine pressed out and pressed back in by someone here at work.

Gave him a tenner for doing it and I "think" the bearings were £20 or so at the time. I dont know how helpfull that is!

GSF £11 per side i think

Can get them pressed for about £20 at work

LOL

Might do that actually

GSF's my best bet for discs, pads and bearings then?

PM Fred. He may be able to get them cheap, I could grab them off him and bring them with me. Make it clear that you need them for Tuesday latest though!!

Not sure. I'll ask him, he's welcome to come with me, but doubt he'd want to as my car won't be available to drive.

Using my car, but sharing the driving with my old man. Your welcome to come in mine, you can drive it too. I doubt the track will be open early.
