my Clio has failed its mot :(

i need to get new wheel bearings but i have been told they could be either 65mm OD or larger 72mm OD bearings. The car is an early 1991 Clio rt non abs model does anyone know what size it will be or will it be a case of it was what ever the Renault technician could reach? Can i measure them without taking half the car apart?

cheers

I would say it will be the 65mm bearing as the 72mm is listed for:
(FWB = 37x72x37 (C57B, C57J, C57T)w/ABS, (B57P)w/o ABS).

The problem is if someone has changed the hub (which tbh is very likely) then its anyone's guess. I would buy both then take back the one which doesn't fit.

tbh the 65mm bearing is pretty rare, only cars that normally have them are 5's and the clio 1.2's, and they are the early ones.

Anyway get both and return the ones you don't use, simple really.
