Smashed hub & brake question.

[djchewy]

Just a couple of questions. I'm not the most mechanical person on the planet but i'm willing to learn and have a go.

I had a couple of bearings changed last month for the MOT. I was told that the hub had been damaged slightly when removing the bearing but it was ok to drive. Couldn't see any damage when i picked the car up so thought nothing of it. Removed the wheels today to repaint the rear drums and discovered this:

I'm guessing I need a new hub? The tyre which was on that side has worn quite quickly over the last month. I'm guessing its because the balance will be all over now?

I also need some new pads for the front discs. Are the below pads the correct type for a Mk2 ph2 2001 1.2?

I wouldn't be driving on that IMO.

are the hubs from the mk2 ph1 the same as the mk2 ph2?

This car is not far from me and is being broken for parts http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RENAULT-CLIO-...CarParts_SM&hash=item35aacedba3#ht_500wt_1154

Yeah, I would get that changed.

Coincidentally I think I have a few in the garage Is that rear passenger side?
I think I also have some brand new pads, Ill have to have a look tomorrow though if you can wait?

I can't believe the garage let me drive away with it like that. Is it a common thing to happen t hubs when removing bearings or should I take it back and tell them to sort it?

 

[djchewy]

Yeah, I would get that changed.

no, they've done that to it, demand a new drum

 

[djchewy]

When I picked it up he said i was lucky that it didn't smash the whole drum and that this can happen sometimes. With me not being mechanically minded I believed him. Have I been filled with s**t?

 

[djchewy]

Yeah, I would get that changed.

Did you manage to have a look in the garage?

I don't get how they managed to do that unless they are retarded and trying to undo a nut with a hammer?!

I would get it changed asap and go and give the div in the garage a kicking.

Take it when he said i was lucky my hub didn't smash he was talking s**t then?

Kinda, what he was actually saying was "Your lucky I didn't smash it to bits!" Drums are pretty durable unless they have a crack, found that when my neighbour used a blow torch to heat the barrel and remove the bearing and it exploded, quite literally.
