Patches Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 I've got a rotational noise coming from my disc hitting my caliper bracket after a wheel bearing change. I've got a spare hub to swap in so I'm going to try that next but think I'll need one of these tools to swap it. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Heavy-Duty-Front-Wheel-Hub-Drive-Bearing-Removal-Tool-Set-Kit-FREE-DELIVERY/261319029295?hash=item3cd7d3f22f:g:4lkAAOSwn45Z3I5p anyone used one of these on their starlet?

Calum122 Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Don't need that tool to swap the hub over? Just a soft face mallet to tap the driveshaft out of the hub. Quote

Calum122 Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Not that I'm aware of on these cars. It's been a few years since I did both of mine on my car, but for an amateur mechanic it was very straight forward with basic tools. Quote
Patches Posted August 29, 2018 Author Posted August 29, 2018 Cool man I'll give that a go first then. Hopefully this resolves the issue Quote
SKINY Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Also make sure you don't accidentally pull the shaft out of the box the smell of used bag oil is mank ! That tool, it took a 25 ton press to change my front bearings, d/s had around 17 T on it for about 15 mins before it popped, p/s was around the same Quote
