gday fellas, just wondering if someone has a file of how to do this? or can give me a quick run down of wat is involved?
do they need to be pressed out? do i need to remove c.v joint and hub etc?
for a front drivers side bearinbg

cheers batesy

Hi Batesy, if it's a front wheel bearing, yeah you'll hafta get the old ones pressed out and the new ones pressed in, prolly easier to take it to a mechanic/suspension workshop. While you're there get them to inspect and replace joints,bushes and any other worrying items.
p.s. would also be a good time to get both sides replaced and machine the discs, i found out the hard way that renewing one side only leads to stressing the opposite bearing more but that's up to you.

Hope it works out for you!

yeah goon, replaced left side six months ago,
have a press and stuff at work, might be able ot do myself?
or just easier to get mechanic to do it?
cheers

we knocked some out with a hammer and punch not to long ago when an Lseries got done here.

and u cant exactly press em out.
the bearings go in one on each side and hit at a stop in the middle. so a press wont be that easy to use.

hammer and punch is easy

Yep, good point Matatak, i should have thought of that! Batesy, if you have the press but cannot find the info in the archives then see if you can get hold of a Gregories or Hanes Suby manual. If you live near brissie i can loan you a copy. pm me if you want one.

I was looking at this myself, then decided to take it to a mechanic.







Sorry bout the blur, it's a cheap post office scanner/printer that costs less than it's replacement ink lol

mate thanks heaps, thats wat i was after.... cheers

Hey, Where did you get this manual? And also do you have instructions for the read bearings?

Cheers

Im pretty sure it's from the gregory's manual, I can have a look for it tonight if you want some pages scanned. What's the read bearing?
