Wheel bearing 1.4

[bennyball]

Got a wheel bearing gone on the rear of my mk2 ph2 1.4, wondered if anyone could tell me the bearing number please?
Also, is it difficult to change over, could someone give me a quick run down of what i need to do?
Much love,
Ben

Assuming your car has drum brakes and local motor factor or halfords or renault dealer will get you a bearing kit probably off the shelf. Try and get the bearing kit as they normally include new circlip, dust cap and hub nut.

You will need a 30mm deepish socket to take the outside drum off. You then need to remove the circlip holding the bearing in with some thin nosed pliers. Now press the old bearing out and press the new bearing in which is not easy at all without a press.
