Had a very loud metallic noise coming from osf wheel and assumed it was the outer cv joint - under closer inspection it was actually the wheel bearing hub assembly given up the ghost ! Has probably done 150k now though ! Road wheel had quite a bit of play and the noise was pretty bad when under load and turning.

Striped it down and removed the strut complete as I reckon I had no chance in removing the hub assembly from the leg

Once removed it was a lot easier to get the 4 bolts which hold the hub in off , and then gently tap away at it till it’s falls out of the leg ! Rusty everything though and always use a six sided socket where possible.

Can anyone confirm the hub nut torque setting - I have it at 350nm on one info and then apparently it was dropped to 230nm by LR due to premature failure?

It’s 230 n-m in the 2010-2013 manual. 2011 RRS HSE Luxury 3.0 TDV6 Fuji White on Ebony/Ivory

Thanks - I did think 350 was a bit over kill
