How do I break a wheel-bearing hub free from steering knuckle?
Need to change a front wheel-bearing on a 97 Chevy Cavalier. The bearing is in a pre-assembled hub. I removed the three bolts holding the hub to the steering knuckle but couldn't get the bearing out because it seemed to be rusted in there. I tried using Seafoam (rust remover) and that didn't seem to change anything... and I have pretty well pried and hammered at it with small tools. What would a shop use to get it off? Please be specific if you know... like the name of tools or equipment and possibly where I can get them or rent them. Thanks!How do I break a wheel-bearing hub free from steering knuckle?Keep on smashing at it with a larger sledge and keep putting the knocker loose to it. If you use heat you could damage the knuckle. Patience and a bigger sledge will prevail.

How to change a front wheel bearing on a cavalier?
Depending on year... I believe some of those are going to be a sealed hub unit... you cannot change just the bearing. What year is yours?How to change a front wheel bearing on a cavalier?i looked up an old style and a new sytle, they are both bolt in bearings (hub and bearing are one unit). you need to remove the claiper, rotor and axle nut. then push the axle shaft thru the hub. take out the 3 (or 4) bolts that hold on the hub. be careful of the abs wire and sensor (if you have abs)How to change a front wheel bearing on a cavalier?At many auto parts stores you can buy a Haynes or Chilton's do-it-yourself manual for your model car, with step-by-step instructions, and basic explanations at the beginning of each chapter. If it is not in stock, you can order it online by searching on %26quot;auto repair manuals%26quot; on Yahoo search. In the front is a section on %26quot;Troubleshooting%26quot; that guides you step-by-step to find causes of most engine malfunctions based on the car's symptoms. Whether you do the work yourself or not, it helps you make informed decisions and not be taken advantage of, and to not feel so %26quot;in the dark.%26quot;
db667089 says: you can check http://www.alldatadiy.com. For about the same price as a Haynes or Chilton's repair manual, you can have online access (for a whole year) to model specific info for your particular vehicle. This is the same info that repair shops use. They have great wiring schematics/diagrams.
Also, for about $15 for a one-month subscription, you can get the factory manual, downloadable (careful! Mine was about 500 pages!) or viewable, at http://eAutoRepair.com.
Also, many people recommend autozone.com's free online manuals.

2002 Chevy Malibu. My mechnical husband wants to know how to change a front wheel bearing on a 2002 Malibu.?
remove wheel and tire, remove caliper and mounting bracket, if equipped, remove the axle nut, remove three bolts that hold the hub on the the spindle. It's not hard if you have the right tools. You'll need a large 6-point metric socket to take off the axle nut. It's big, around 36mm. I hope you have an air good air compressor and a good 1/2%26quot; drive impact gun because the torque spec on the axle nut is 284 lb ft. It will take a lot to get it off. If you don't have an impact gun, you might be able to get it off with a breaker bar and a long pipe.2002 Chevy Malibu.

I need to change the front wheel bearing on a 95 Ford four wheel drive. How do I get the hub assembly apart?
Bear with me its been a year and a half since I did this.
Truck jacked up and tire off.
remove hub 3-6 bolts
pull off outer cap
there is a large spring clip in a groove in outer hub wall . Dig around with small screw driver you will find .it once this is out the inner hub will come out.
You may need to reach in and remove any c-clips on Axel . As well as a large washer with holes in it .
Now you should see a large flat washer looking thing with 4 hole in it. Get you hub socket and remove it . The rotor and hub should pull off.
remove seal and bearings . Pound out races with brass /wood drift and replace in reverse.
When you get to the large 4 hole nut tighten till rotor will not turn and back off. I put tire on and tighten till there is no side to side movement . And tire turns. You will want to check hub after first ride to see if to hot and readjust in week or so .

How would I change the wheel bearing on my 1993 Saturn SL2?
I am pretty much a diy guy for everything. I slid my car into a curb a long time ago and replaced a lot of parts. Unfortunately my wheel bearing was off, and caused the front passenger wheel to go completely bald down to wires. I, like a fool, decided maybe it would be good to have a %26quot;professional%26quot; that a friend referred me to handle this one. I like doing my own work so that I know what all I did, and I can usually trace it back. This guy was very unprofessional, called me angrily saying he needed more money because apparently the half-shaft for an automatic is different than a manual (my car). He said that would need to be replaced, and a spindle (which should've came with it, as it came from a junkyard). Anyways, I continued this foolish game. When it was all finally done, he brought the car to me (the shop was just down the street), and I drove him home. I noticed the wheel was making a rubbing noise, and he said it was nothing, and it should go away. I drove it around for a while, but I have a different car that I had been driving instead (the a/c works). Months later, I decided to drive the saturn around and it is still making this rubbing noise. One of the motor mounts had been rotted, and I replaced it, which helped a lot, but the wheel is still making this rubbing noise. I am pretty sure it is not rubbing against anything, but it is hard to tell because the %26quot;professional%26quot; put the tire back on with an impact wrench and I can't get the wheel off. Any ideas? If it is the wheel bearing...how would I replace it? I believe they are sealed bearings, but I'm not sure if it needs to be pressed out or if I could hammer it out and a new one in.How would I change the wheel bearing on my 1993 Saturn SL2?if your going to change the bearing, i,ll tell you the way i do it. i pound the old bearing out and i put the new bearing in the freezer and when i,am ready for it, it will slip right in. steel will shrink when they are cold and expand when it warms up. buy the bearing, put it in the freezer for about a day or 2, pound the bearing out, take the new bearing and put it in a ice chest and when your ready for it, it should slip right in where the old 1 came out. i did that several times.How would I change the wheel bearing on my 1993 Saturn SL2?Buy a repair manual for the car and do what it says.
How to change rear wheel bearing on a 2004 nissan sentra?
I would suggest you take to a shop because you need lots of tools. Some vehicles have the bearing in hub that you replace as a unit, and others you have to press out and in the bearings. If you want to try, purchase a repair manual at your local auto parts store and see what you need.

hey id like to change both the wheel bearings on the front of my holden barina 2008. can someone point me in a direction and how much are they usually. im from australia :)Changing wheel bearing?? help pls:)?I believe your car is front wheel drive based on the Daewoo.Loosen both front wheels jack the car up,support the body with blocks or trestles and remove the jack.Slacken the big nut on the end of the CV Joint.Remove the brake calliper (no need to disconnect the hydraulic brake pipe,just support the calliper)..Undo the track rod end and the top and bottom ball joint nuts and break the tapered connections.Remove the CV joint nut and tap the CV joint back through the hub and remove the hub.On a bench and in a vice remove the bearing by using a steel drift to knock out the inner tracks.Refit the new bearings by using a phosphorous bronze drift if you don't have a press.You can use the old tracks to start the bearing in the hub and then evenly tap the bearing home.Refitting is a reversal of removalChanging wheel bearing?? help pls:)?if it is front wheel drive it is not a do-it-yourself job as it needs a 15 ton press to get the old bearings off and the new ones on, if it is rear wheel drive then the bearings are adjustable but you still need a press to get the old race off and the new one on, there is no way a 2008 car would need new bearings unless something catastrophic has happened, they last 160000KmChanging wheel bearing?? help pls:)?unless you are a mechanic, its better to pay for someone to do it for you, and car bearings and semi expensive, labor generally isnt, but they usually go by hour so its up to you. srry this isnt really helpful, but ive done bearings on a couple things other than cars, and its tuff.

How much does it cost to change the wheel bearing on a 1988 camaro v-6?
Less than $100 parts and labor. They have to take either the front or rear brake assembly off to remove it from the axle.
There is a ring that holds the bearings in place that is held in place with a %26quot;C%26quot; clip.
Any decent mechanic should be able to do the job in less than a hour.

Can anyone help with how to change a wheel bearing on a erde trailer please?
Most trailers have the same type of wheel bearings.
To change a wheel bearing, try to follow the following in the order given:
1. Jack up the trailer and support it with jack stands.
2. Remove wheel cover if it has one.
3. Remove lug nuts from wheel.
4. Remove wheel and tire Assembly.
5. Using a flat blade screw driver, remove the dust cap on the center of the wheel hub.
6. You will need a pair of pliers to remove the cotter pin that holds the nut retainer in place.
7. Once the cotter pin is removed you should be able to remove the nut retainer if so equiped.
8. Use the correct socket or wrench to remove the bearing jam nut.
9. Remove the bearing washer.
10. Now the wheel assembly should slide off the spindle.
11. If you have not acquired a new bearing yet, you can take your hub and old bearing with you to the parts store to purchase the new bearing.
12. Replace the bearing on the spindle. Also remember to replace the race inside the wheel hub.
13. Put the wheel assembly back together in the reverse order taken apart. First put the hub back on the spindle, Second put the washer on the spindle, Third put the nut on the spindle and tighten until you cannot turn the wheel then back off the nut about 1/4 of a turn, Fourth put the nut retainer back on the nut if equiped, fifth put the cotter pin in the hole and bend back in place over the shaft, sixth put the dust cap back in place and put the wheel and tire back on, seventh take the trailer off jack stands and lower trailer to the ground. Now you are done. Good Luck!Can anyone help with how to change a wheel bearing on a erde trailer please?I'm not sure of the complete procedure, but I just want to make a reminder to use high heat grease.

How do u change a wheel bearing on a 95 Honda civic?
the bearing needs to be pressed on i know that. but how do i get to it.i mean how do i tear it down? drivers sideHow do u change a wheel bearing on a 95 Honda civic?First, you need to remove he hub (what wheel and brake are attached to) from the suspension. This can be done with ordinary tools fairly easily. Just follow the directions in the repair manual. When the hub is removed, the bearing will need to be pressed out and a new bearing pressed in. Take the hub and new bearing you got from your parts supplier to a machine shop or auto repair shop and have them press the old bearing out and the new one in. Then put everything back together on the car and that's it.
I was charged $30 for the pressing, and $50 for the bearing.How do u change a wheel bearing on a 95 Honda civic?The above answer is correct,however any suspension work should be done on BOTH sides!Be safe,do both sides.

How do you change a wheel bearing 2x4 S-10? (not blazer)?
I have seen a few questions on 4x4 blazers but nothing on 2x4 s-10. i was wondering if i did it myself, will petboys or somewhere be able to press the bearing in and out for me? I havnt ever done anything in the hub or bearing area so if someone has done thing, what would be the dificulty rating and how much would a dealer and other shop charge? I do plan on getting a manual if i do this myself.How do you change a wheel bearing 2x4 S-10? (not blazer)?You don't have a sealed bearing on your truck. You will have inner and outer wheel bearings and they don't have to be pressed on.How do you change a wheel bearing 2x4 S-10? (not blazer)?If you have an inner and outer bearing in the front hub you will still have to have the races pressed out and new ones pressed in. You can drive them with a soft punch-but having a shop press them is safest if you feel uncomfortable doing it. A rear axle bearing will have to pressed off and on the axle as well. You can certainly do the rest of the work yourself and simply take the hub or axle to a machine shop.
Edit, DO NOT change the bearing cone without changing the outer race as well. That would a real waste of a new bearing.How do you change a wheel bearing 2x4 S-10? (not blazer)?OK, first things first.
If you're gonna change out wheel bearings, the only pressing that needs to be done is the bearing race. Any local shop with a shop press can do that for you, and it shouldn't cost too much.
However, if your race isn't damaged (grooves or pits dug into it; they don't have to be deep), you may not have to replace it. Look at it closely before replacing it.
If you have never done the job or aren't terribly mechanically inclined, I would suggest letting a professional do it. It wouldn't be a good thing to be rolling along and see a wheel rolling past you that looks like your wheel. It could turn out to be your wheel, and that could mean really bad things.

How to change a escort wheel bearing?
hi i have a 98 escort and need to change the wheel bearing. are they easy to change. i have done them on older cars but not a escort before.How to change a escort wheel bearing?The first two answers are incorrect. An Escort has a non-serviceable sealed wheel bearing hub assembly. It's quite involved to change without the proper tools. The actual wheel bearing hub assembly is pressed into the spindle. The rear's are relatively easy to change but the fronts require separating the lower ball joint, removing the outside CV joint shaft nut, pressing the CV shaft out of the wheel bearing hub assembly and removal of the three wheel bearing hub bolts on the reverse side of the spindle. If you're extremely lucky you can use a small one pound sledge hammer and tap the old bearing from the inside of the spindle outward.
Lightly sand off the corrosion from the inside of the spindle and apply a thin coating of never seize to the inside of the spindle. Use the three hardened bolts to equally pull the new wheel bearing back inside the spindle.How to change a escort wheel bearing?Easy enough just fiddly.
If you replace the bearings replace using the kit as the casings might be worn.
I'm in work now but will edit post later with instructions.
edit : the book I have is for a 97 escort, the system should be the same.
with front bearings you need to take caliper and disc off
take spindle/hub off
remove bearings and tap out casings
inner casing might be left on hub and will need to be pulled off (i used to tap it off too)
refitting is the same in reverse order be sure not to damage bearings or casings(i used to tap bearing cases in using old bearing and a hammer/screwdriver)
if it's rear bearing they are even easier as you don't need to take as much off but is same in principal as front ones.
I offer this as a basic guide, not what to do exactly so do so at your own risk. Personally I would get a Haynes manual before doing it.How to change a escort wheel bearing?They are dead easy and straight forward on 98 escorts, if you have done it before on an older car the only main difference if the fact that you need to remove the drive shaft from the hub.
To do this part the lower tie end and then remove the centre nut holding the drive shaft in place. Pull the whole brake/shock assembly out towards yourself and then push the drive shaft backwards out of the hub.
Ja.How to change a escort wheel bearing?If you have changed your car get yourself a Haynes manual, this gives you all the details the best tips and exploded views of the problem. I always get a Haynes on the vehicle I have. But on my latest I am afraid they have not one yet since Fiat have not realest the details to them yet it's to new. but I have for years have used this even my friends in the garages use it more than the official work Manuals. or just see if your local library has a copy. just take your car details with you to make sure you have the right manualHow to change a escort wheel bearing?It depends on if they are in the hub or not, if they are then it is harder because they have to be repacked and heated out of the hub, if there is not hub it is not that big of a deal but i would take it to a shop because you don't want to have the bearing put on wrong.How to change a escort wheel bearing?first... open the door and let the clutch out.

I actually need to know how to remove the seal from the old bearing and install the new one. Getting the axel out of the way has me stumped.How do I change a Wheel bearing on a 1989 Chevy Cavalier?This procedure requires the use of a number of special tools.
Raise and safely support the vehicle with jackstands. Place the jackstands under the frame so that the front suspension hangs freely.
Remove the front tire and wheel assembly.
If a silicone (gray) boot is used on the inboard axle joint, place boot seal protector J-33162 or equivalent. If a thermoplastic (black) boot is used, no seal protector is necessary.
Insert a drift punch through the rotor cooling vanes to lock the rotor in place and remove the hub nut and washer. Clean the drive axle threads of all dirt and grease. Discard the nut and washer.
Fig. 1: Insert a drift into the rotor when removing the hub nut
Separate the ball joint from the steering knuckle as outlined in this section.
Attach a puller, G.M. part no. J-28733 or the equivalent, and remove the bearing. If corrosion is present, make sure the bearing is loose in the knuckle before using the puller.
Move the axle shaft inward and support at an angle near the normal drive angle.
Remove the brake caliper and rotor, as follows:
Remove the caliper mounting bolts.
Remove the caliper from the knuckle and suspend from a length of wire. Do not allow the caliper to hang from the brake hose. Pull the rotor from the knuckle.
Unfasten the three hub and bearing attaching bolts. If the old bearing is to be reused, match mark the bolts and holes for installation. If equipped, the brake rotor splash shield will have to come off, too.
Clean the mating surfaces of all dirt and corrosion. Check the knuckle bore and knuckle seal for damage. If a new bearing is to be installed, remove and discard the old knuckle seal and replace with a new one during installation.
Fig. 2: Exploded view of the hub and bearing assembly and related components - 1989 vehicle shown
To install:
Position the hub and bearing assembly and splash shield (if equipped) on the steering knuckle and install the retaining bolts. Tighten the bolts to 70 ft. lbs. (95 Nm).
Grease the lips of the new seal before installation; install with a seal driver made for the purpose, G.M. tool no. J-28671 or the equivalent.
Fig. 3: Use a seal driver when installing the new seal into the steering knuckle
Install the rotor and caliper. Be sure that the caliper hose isn't twisted. Install the caliper bolts and tighten to 21-38 ft. lbs. (28-51 Nm).
Position the axle shaft into the hub and bearing assembly.
Insert a drift in the rotor, then install a new hub nut and washer. Use a torque wrench to tighten the nut to 185 ft. lbs. (260 Nm).
Fasten the ball joint to the steering knuckle.
Remove the drift and the boot seal protector (if used).
Install the wheel and tire assembly, then carefully lower the vehicles.
Raise and safely support the vehicle with jackstands. Place the jackstands under the frame so that the front suspension hangs freely.

Any one know how to change rear wheel bearing on 95 camaro ?
i have a 95 camaro , one mechanic said i need to replace the left wheel bearing. i bought one and thought id replace it. I took the wheel off and moved it back and fourth ,,, doesnt seem loose ..or move ... seems ok to me...do i need to replace it??.So i thought i would just take the cap off and replace the bearing..anyway...
nope......not made that way ...... how do i get to it? four bolts on the back plate? any help would be great. thanks.Any one know how to change rear wheel bearing on 95 camaro ?not to sound like a smart azz, but on a rear axle bearing on that car....if you have to ask...dont attempt it. minor differential disassembly is needed as well as a slide hammer with a bearing puller attachment. sounds like you are a little over your head on this one...
take it to a 2nd mechanic and get another opinion....Any one know how to change rear wheel bearing on 95 camaro ?NEVER replace any part till you know the problem. Do you have oil leak around axle ? If the bearing is bad it will wipe out the oil seal. Do you have any leakage, oil or brake fluid ? If you must do this go to auto parts store and purchase a CHILTONS manual for your vehicle. The bearing replacement requires the removal of the axle and can get you in trouble if you don't know what you are doing. I would not tackle it on a %26quot;mekaniks%26quot; say so.Any one know how to change rear wheel bearing on 95 camaro ?I'm sure Tronary is right. I've never looked at the part in question on a '95 Camaro, but I'll bet anything that you have to remove the axle right up to the differential.
And if you drive it untill it fails, then you've probably ruined the axle.
So if you're not sure of what you are doing, you'd better have a garage do it.Any one know how to change rear wheel bearing on 95 camaro ?That bearing will not do anything to the axle seal. If you have a roaring noise, it is quite possible it is a bearing. You have to remove the wheel. You have to remove the cover off the differential. Rotate the drive shaft until you see a little 5/6%26quot; bolt that goes through the roll pin. Take that little bolt out, then the pin will slide out. Do not turn the drive shaft with this pin out or you will have a hell of a time getting all of your gears lined back up. Grab the left rear hub and push the axle straight in. You will feel it stop. Do not turn it. A C-clip should fall off the axle into the differential. When that clip is off, you can slide the axle straight out. When the axle is out, you can pull the axle seal, and if you are quite handy with that axle, if you let the end of it catch the seal, it will yank the seal right out for you. Now you can see the bearing. You will need a bearing puller to get the bearing out. Just make sure the rear axles and drive shaft don't turn with the the axle or the roll pin out. Putting all of those gears back where they go is a pain. Get yourself a bearing installer also and knock the new bearing into place. Put the new seal in. Slide the axle straight in, without turning it. Slide it all the way in, put the C-clip back in, pull the axle back toward you to set the clip in its groove. Put the roll pin back in and put the little bolt back in that holds it. Put some sealer on the cover and bolt it back on. On the front of the differential is a plug that a ratchet will fit into. Take that plug out and refill the rear end with about 3 quarts of 80w90 gear oil, until it runs out of that hole. Put the plug back in and tighten it. Put your wheel back on and do your thing. Good luck.

How do you change a worn wheel bearing on a 2003 Suburban?
My original question was %26quot;What's causing a roaring noise on my Suburban;%26quot; but my question was answered with a similar question. So now that I know it's a worn wheel bearing, my question is %26quot;How do you change the wheel bearing?%26quot; I've always done most of my vehicle maintenance, including changing the oil, belt(s), hoses, thermostat, etc. (basic things). Now I think I would like to tackle the bearings. If someone can give me a little guidance, it would be appreciated. How do you change a worn wheel bearing on a 2003 Suburban?Front or Rear?
The front, you need to punch out the bearing races and pound in the new ones, easy but takes time. There are areas inside that will allow you to get in a punch.
The rear you'll need to pull the shaft and take it to a mechanic to have the old one pressed off and the new one pressed on.
As mentioned before, getting a manual is your first priority. If you don't have one by now, how can you do your own maintenance?How do you change a worn wheel bearing on a 2003 Suburban?If you know how to do a brake job, you can tackle the job yourself. You may want to get yourself a repair manual if you have not replace the brake before. There are two bearings on each wheel. Since it is a 2003, it may have a seal bearing and must replace the whole hub assembly and could get a little costly. You'll just have to go visit your local auto part store and they'll be able to tell what you have.

That maybe the best start for ya.How do you change a worn wheel bearing on a 2003 Suburban?go to car parts store and get a manual, chiltons or haynes manual on your make and model of your car, it will tell u everything and u can go step by step with it and even have pictures to help you

Is it difficult to change out a wheel bearing on a 91 Jetta?
I need to commandeer my dads 91 Jetta. Apparently, the left had side front wheel bearing went out and it needs to be replaced. Also, the struts are bad but I'm focusing on the wheel bearing for now.
My question is, how difficult is it to change the wheel bearing out? I am fairly proficient with cars.. Bascily, how long will it take?Is it difficult to change out a wheel bearing on a 91 Jetta?here is a repair guide that tell how!
http://www.autozone.com/shopping/repairG
have fun!Is it difficult to change out a wheel bearing on a 91 Jetta?The part that will be difficult for you is that you need to press the hub out of the bearing using a press. And press the old bearing out of the knuckle after that. A lot of times the hub is so badly pitted that if you install it into a new bearing there will still be excessive movement. Then your really screwed because you have to press it all back apart again, and this process ruins your new bearing you just installed. So if the hub looks hammered at all the first time, replace it, before installing it and finding out its bad too.
So basically you can remove the knuckle yourself, then take the assembly to a place that has a press, and when their done, put the knuckle back in yourself.
Also, you are doing half the work of replacing the struts, by taking out the knuckle. But then your going to need to find a place that has a spring compressor so you can swap strut assemblies. I would suggest replacing the bearing on the top of the strut assembly during that process. They go bad frequently, and yours will probably fall apart when you take the strut assembly apart.Is it difficult to change out a wheel bearing on a 91 Jetta?front wheel drive easy to replace whole axle and just as cheap as a bearing and many cases its the only way to do it not too hard and dont mess with the strut unless your sure of what your doing very deady if not done rightIs it difficult to change out a wheel bearing on a 91 Jetta?Roughly about 2 hr.

How do I change the front wheel bearing on a '98 Vauxhall Corsa?
I need to change my wheel bearing, but would like to be given a few pointers before I do it. What will I need? (got the bearing and the tools) I think I just need to get grease. All tips very welcome.
Thanks.How do I change the front wheel bearing on a '98 Vauxhall Corsa?The bearing usually comes with grease, though you might want to add a little more...
As was mentioned get yourself Haynes manualHow do I change the front wheel bearing on a '98 Vauxhall Corsa?Get yourself a repair manual from your local auto parts store.
Haynes or Chiltons, specific to your vehicle.
All info and pic id of parts as well as step by step instructions.
Excellent investment and learning/teaching tool.How do I change the front wheel bearing on a '98 Vauxhall Corsa?it would made it a lot easier if you bought the hub with the bearing already in it but since you already got the bearing you have to remove the hub and have the old 1 pressed in and the new 1 pressed in.How do I change the front wheel bearing on a '98 Vauxhall Corsa?You won't have to worry about grease because it is a sealed bearing. You will have to have the bearing pressed out. You can save yourself some money by taking the hub assembly off the car and taking it and the new bearing into a shop and having the old bearing pressed out and the new one pressed in. You have to take all the brake hardware off the hub, then the tie rod, It would be best if you use spring compressors if not be very carefull of the spring pressure, then jack the hub assembly up from the bottom of the hub so you can get the ball joint disconnected from the bottom of the hub (if you don't have the spring compressed here the pressure will push the jack towards the outside of the car as soon as the ball joint is released). After that you will have to remove the top nut on the front strut which holds the assembly into the top of the fender well. After you get this all disconnected take the whole assembly and get the new bearing pressed in. Assembly in reverse. If you don't take out the whole assembly you will have to have the front end aligned when you are done.

Wheel bearings are hard to do yourself, you tend to have to have a huge machine to do it (ive done in on work experience)
it can cost as little as a tenner.How much should i pay for wheel bearing change???ford escort has pressed sealed bearings on front.... get price of bearing and call around for hourly labor rates....should take no more than 1 hour per sideHow much should i pay for wheel bearing change???You need an extractor and a simple press to do it yourself ,for just the cost of the bearings,ford spares are generally cheap.I have put them in using a block of plastic and a mallet.How much should i pay for wheel bearing change???Have a phone around to price up the bearing, then add on around 35 for an hours labour, the last bearing i brought was a one piece bearing for a Renault and that was 16.
The hrdest thing about getting the old one out is getting the outer bearing race out most garages have a press to do this and on the last time i used one to press out a race it took 3 and a half tons of presssure to get the thing out another time i tapped it out using a punch tapping the opposite sides and it takes bleeding ages.How much should i pay for wheel bearing change???Simple job, DIY!!
You may need a clutch puller though to remove the old bearing if it is extremely tight....no huge machines involved!
On the other hand, the bearings may just need tightening up and greasing.....try this first and save time and money!
Good luck!
