_shaun_ Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 as i was driving to day my rear wheel bearing shit its self and is now totaly shafted. new 1 should be here tomorow lunch time how hard are these to change? any specail tools needed Quote
LeeG Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 no special tools mate just take caliper and carrier off then pop off dirt cap, then theres a 30mm or 32mm nut remove tht then hub cums off and thts where the bearing is. Quote
_shaun_ Posted July 5, 2011 Author Posted July 5, 2011 sounds to easy ill assume these bolts are gonna be tight as fuck to get off then Quote
LeeG Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 prob will b but as soon as there cracked they'll be off in no time Quote
enots Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 New bearing has to be pressed into the disc too getting the old one out of the disc is a right TWAT too lol Quote
LeeG Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 no it doesnt just use socket thts same or slighty smaller size as bearing to chap it in, tho i didnt need to press or chap my new wheel bearings in. Quote
WallaceGlanza Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Certainly on the glanzas with abs the bearing just pops into the disc. Its an easy job, only thing to make sure is that you don't under or overtighten the shaft end nut - it only needs to be slightly nipped up then check that the wheel spins freely but with minimal play.Certainly on the glanzas with abs the bearing just pops into the disc.

enots Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 ah fair enough when i replaced mine the outer case of the bearing had come away from the bearing itself and wedged itself into the disc was a right pain to get out of the disc. Quote
_shaun_ Posted July 6, 2011 Author Posted July 6, 2011 something came up today so i mate offerd to do the bearing for me. he said the bearing went in with almost no effort at all he carried on and put it all back on but am still getting some wheel play. does this sound like a new disk? ( there only 3months old) or is it another prob?cheers shaun Quote
andy.i Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 what was the play like between bearing and disc when it was off Quote
_shaun_ Posted July 6, 2011 Author Posted July 6, 2011 not to sure lol will attempt to get ahold of mate but hes on his way to silverstone so not sure when he will get back to me lol Quote
andy.i Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 never done the rears myself, but when i did the fronts mine had about 1-2mm of play in the hub which indicated the hub was worn. i bought a 2nd hand one and it had no play so im guessing the disc could be worn Quote
