I have what I think is a wheel bearing drone, front nearside.

My garage doesn't do them. Even they send the hub and bearing somewhere else to get pressed in. ______________________________

There is a young mechanic we use and he managed it, said it was a real pain to do, and he only had to put it in a new hub he didn't have to take the old one out!

I was trying to confirm if it was a wheel bearing and asked if they could have a look, that will cost £30 sir, but an MoT is only £40 I'll have one of those I said. I had already switch front and rear wheels as suggested by Cam-Tech which made little or no difference. Out they came with the pass, what about the wheel bearing, oh can't spin the wheel fast enough to hear anything minimal movement so as far as an MoT test it is fine. Booked in for Friday to take a mechanic for a short drive............. I will go for the hub with bearing already pressed in as it is not much more and will save garage time. |

That is a good plan, it will save some time and labour. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Bit late know but Nige who runs Xcess4x4 and Megasquirt is very knowledgeable when it comes to diffs. Although he's more into Defender stuff.
