Front Drivers Side Wheel Bearing

[Jim-Bob]

Looks like its on its way out :(

How much is a new one roughly?

And how much and how long would i be looking at to get one fitted (heard its a right ball ache to do yourself)?

A wheel bearing should only be about 15 quid thats including new circlip etc

fitting will be about 20 - 30 quid

tbh if you have a blowtorch you can do it yourself pretty easily

From the previous threads on it, sounds a b*tch to do.

Don't have a blowtorch or i would probably give it a try.

Not got much time to give it a go either though.

Ah well get someone to do it mate, they will use a press rather than heat and brute force

what id do is to take the strut off, bang the old bearing out, use a bit of heat on the strut for the bearing to make hole expand, then use a socket and press the bearing in with a vice then whack the circlip on

So i should be looking at getting a quote in the region of 50 quid then for a new bearing and fitting?
