Wheel bearings

[d6]

Success. Job done. Here's the story.... 200km journey tomorrow ,had to be done tonight.
Ok , jacked the car, wheel off - man those studs get tight. Popped off the hub cover , pin , cap and washer bearing fell out ( note the nut was hand tight )

here's the bearing's it's looking like the near box is the right one already.

next go the brake calipers, take out the too studs from behind give the caliper a good wack with a caring hammer and it's off.


the hole disc comes off bearings and all. ok now i didn't take pics because the grease went everywhere. The bearings themselves fell out but the collars required punching out with a punch. I cleaned the whole disc up inserted the new bearings , with new grease , tapped the collars into place with a selection of large sockets , bearings followed. perfect. came to put the dust collar on and it was .5mm too large so i used the original ( i managed to get out originally without damaging it )


can you spot the new ones ?
The whole thing went back together quite easy ( except the pads fell out of the calipers and they are a pain in the ass to get back in ) , loctite on the last nut . Wheel on , dropped the car , total time 1hr . Out the door sideways....

i must remember to check the nuts / studs tomorrow night...
