Just ordered two new bearings from mr BOG (now fitted)
Ive had an intermittant squeak coming from the os of the car for the last few weeks, then tother day I started feeling a very slight rumble through the foot rest.
it all came to light today whilst manovering in the carppark at Silverstone (for a rally experience)
car was on full lock and had an awful noise of click clank tinkle grind
and thought diff had blown but it drove ok
so did a cautious drive back to Banbury and went to mc ds drivethru, all ok until i pulled away and the front wheel squeals again but louder.
long story short
gets it home jacks up that wheel in neutral, slightly noisy when spun but a few mm play in all directions..
checked nearside for comparison and no play what so ever
looking at the bodsy guide and others on here...
im going to be airing the halfords socket set again
armed with deadblow mallet too
any hints n tips would be greatly appreciated (bihex sockets in halfords kit??)
got a hub nut for when i did the epb adjustment and a torque wrench to (300nm)

well apart from a snapped breaker bar (hub nut) and last hub bolt having the angle grinder treatment
it all went quite smoothly..
hub nut was 'kin tight, I got an old torque wrench i use as my breaker bar...
it didnt like me bouncing up and down on it
brake caliper carrier bolts came out easily enough (too easy?)
and although stiff, the 4 hub bolts came out ok (wd40 and plenty of) apart from the bottom left as you look at it, it got to 95%out then that was it, I did work it back and forth but that last bit wasnt
going anywhere, and what finished me off from trying anymore, was the fact that the socket wrench slipped, pinging the socket off somewhere. I think it landed in the undertray
angle grindered the head off and tapped the hub off. so im glad I ordered the 8 bolts.
the drive shaft popped back nicely with a light tap from my yommer and punch
(cheers Beanie)
rest was straight forward, but next time I will print a list of all the torque settings as sitting on my drive with toughbook on the go looked a bit flash/posy
Test drive, quite as a moose
old bearing is fooshed, really rough to spin by hand
other side is earmarked for after Crimbo
Thanks for everybody's help & fast service etc. you know who you are
Did mine last month no problems came straight off, did use 3/4" sockets and an air gun gave it a bit more umph while it was off did the discs and pads too.Goodyear Duratracs
