oojudoo Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 My rear bearings need changing for the MOT. Is it a relatively easy job? will i need any special tools to complete? how long will it take? I am taking it into the garage for its mot and they could do it there for me, but if its easy and i can save myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pindie Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 If you are able to remove a wheel then you can do the bearings. Have a look on You tube as there is a guide on there how to do it. Getting old ones out is easy. Use a drift made from 12mm threaded bar from B&Q. Cost is pennies and you have it forever. Be careful putting new ones in. They need to be squeezed/pressed in and not hammered. Use a socket or the old outer bearing case to use as a device to push against. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
