a wheel bearing is like less than £20 :roll:
i know but i dont get paid till the 25th and the noise is driving me mad
no its nowhere near the same
no its nowhere near the same
Eh?!
They look identical!
will the hub off a clio RT be the same? the breakers near me have one for £12
your seriously going to spend £12 on something second hand when a new version wont cost much more... ?
Rory, send me your mail address, I'll paypal you a tenner, you will have made £2 profit. :lol:

Much easier just banging another hub on for £12 than faffing about with pressing the old bearing out etc plus a new bearing will cost around that plus the cost of having to get it pressed in/out. Half the time the hub will be shafted from the old bearing anyway.

no... bearings fail.. if you put on a 2nd hand one it will fail in much less time than a new one would.
Failed bearings dont damage hubs, thats a load of bollox
This is serious fools economy.
My garage will do a pair of bearings for £10 cash for for a tank of fuel you can change them both and know you wont ever need to do it again!

Whys bearings damaging hubs aload of old bollox?
they can damage hubs if they spin due to failing or poor workmanship due to incorrect fitting.
