Changing Wheel Bearing

[arj256]

Just a few questions before i change my wheel bearing:

What torque do i do the hub nut up to? as the haynes manual doesnt say.
What tools will i need for it? ie how is the best way to get the bearing in and out?

Cheers.

It does say :roll:

its hihger then my torque wrench woudl go, so i did it to the max setting and then another 1/4 turn with the breaker bar.

Get a garage to press the old one out and new one in, shoudl be about a tenner or so.

Will need a new hub nut, and if you get a bearing from GSF, you will need a washer to go between the nut and hub, as Reno ones have built in washers

Only specialist tool you'll need is a hub puller, about £10 from Halfords, if its the passenger side, watch you don't pull the shaft out from the gear box

GSF sell the kit that reno use don't they??? Mine came with the bearing, a few washers and circlip included. (rear bearing)

[Lunner]

Ones i got from GSf was teh bearing, a new nut (without built in washer) and a circlip.

Maybe yours was different as you have ABS

it was a rear bearing kit... and i dont have abs. same on rear anyway i think.
