Ok so need to change a front wheel bearing on the car, does any1 have any guides or tips on doing said job??

Will it need pressed out on a hydraulic press?? Or can it be done in place on the car?? What all needs to be removed in order to press it out??

It need to be pressed out mate,

I would reccomend a garage do it - like PAW

My Seat Arosa needed their front bearings changed. A mate of mine works at Northway Tyres and they were luckily enough to have a machine press.

Unfortunately the bearing was seized into the hub and it wouldnt come out. I couldnt drive the car was the current beairng was completely destroyed inside the carrier and it wouldnt come out. That was pretty much a whole day of faffing around, cant imagine what his manager was thinking.lol. I had to buy a pair of second hand complete hub carriers instead in the end

Not sure how bad the preludes get but probably be best for a garage with proper equipment to take on the job

PAW are a bit far from me, and for a generic press out, press in job, i have a few local garages who can do it easily enough.

What all needs to be removed 1st?? Does it come out as a complete hub??

For the front the bearing is separate, the rear is 1 unit thingy.

Fook me not cheap eh

Might just grab a complete hub from the scrappies.

Pm a few guys on here - they are breaking their 5th Gens so you should be able to snap up a complete hub easily - then installation should be fairly easy
