She had an advisory for offside front wheel bearing at last Mot so thought I’d replace it and do the half shaft seal that’s still leaking while I was at it, all went well but used some tools I haven’t used for a while......lump hammer and scaffold tube





Front discs look a bit dodgy so that’s next on the list. Steve

What bearing did you go for Steve? I used the Optimal one from Advanced Factors, great value. Kev

Cool. The 4 year warranty on those is fantastic. It shows they have confidence in the parts. That, coupled with the fact they are significantly cheaper than the Timken parts, it's a no-brainer. I hear a lot of the cheaper bearings fail within a few thousand miles so it just isn't worth it. Kev

The one that came off looked like it had been getting hot by the blueing of the metal. Steve

Was the scaffold pole for levering? I have a handy 50x50x200cm piece of box section I use when frustration takes over. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)
