| Rear Wheel Hub Bearings Replacement |
|
I have excessive play on my LR3 drivers side rear wheel resulting in squealing from the hub and disk rubbing on rotation with the brake disk guard! Horrible noise when going over bumps!
I tried removing the hub and got to a sticking point. After removal of all the nuts and bolts visible including all those through the bushes of the wheel/suspension arm, the wheel hub would not slide off the drive shaft.
How do you get the hub off / bearing out?!
Many thanks
Peter

needs to be pulled off and then replacement pressed back on with a press
not something the normal home mechanic has access to TLO has left the building.......

get both sides done. If one has gone the other side will be next.
I know...... 
get it done soon. a basic bearing replacement will cost a couple of hundered quid if done early. leaving it until you get complete metldown cost me 1,600 Euros because it will also wreck the Bearing, suspension knuckle, brake shoes, discs, pads and wheel speed sensor....
Oh, and welcome  Duncan

Thanks for the advice. One side went and he stealership stung me for a few quid. Squeak has started again on the otherside so yes...you are correct...if one side goes so to will the other side...!
I bought the bearing which is quite simple and doesn't look as though it needs a press. Garage said it would just slip over the drive shaft and into the hub. No talk of clamping which sounds tricky.
Looking at LR3 wheel hubs there are four more bolts that sit behind the brake shoes which will need to be removed to access the bolts to pull the hub off the drive shaft. Any thoughts?!
Thanks again for your time in responding. Looks like a really good forum.
