Wheel Bearing Crisis
Wheel Bearing Crisis
What could be a more satisfactory way of spending my (single) day off this week, than closetting myself in the shed and doing the front wheel bearing. Got a replacement from AEP (extremely good next day service) and didn't think to open the box before tearing the old one out and consigning the old bits to the bin. Oh dear, they've sent roller bearings with a vast nut of indeterminate function and various other odd and unfamiliar bits (and no replacement 3" circlip). The AEP man says they have 4 alternative kits, and the one he sent matches up with my registration. Can there really be 4 different bearing types? Next problem, finding someone to lend me a car for the next 7 days before my next day off!

Re: Wheel Bearing Crisis
If the nut is 35mm, that's your new hub nut. In my experience, the new bearing bears little resemblance to the bits that fall out when the old bearing is smashed to pieces to remove it.

Re: Wheel Bearing Crisis
It makes sense that there would only be 1 sort of bearing across the range- even the Haynes Book of Lies shows a section through balls - anyhow the nice man at AEP eventually conceded that he'd sent a bearing for a Citroen Relay - whatever that it. New one on its way. Crisis nearly over...

Re: Wheel Bearing Crisis
This is one of those things where I like to rescue a couple of spare hubs from a scrapper, fit new bearings and ball joint at my leisure, then change the whole unit - saves a lot of downtime and potential hassle. It's always a sod when you get the thing apart, find the new bits are wrong so you have to send them back, while your car's in bits and you still have to get to work on monday....
While you're rescuing the spare hubs, grab a pair of wishbones and a bottom engine moun too!
