wheel bearing from halfords
« on: 09 May 2009, 19:05 »
just went to halfords to get a new rear wheel bearing kit. the thing is i have taken the outer bearing out, which is a tapered roller bearing thingy, whilst the one in my new kit doesnt seem to be tapered. i first assumed the kit must have been a halfords cock up, but i looked at a couple on ebay and they seem to be non-tapered aswel. has anyone done a wheel bearing on a 1990 jetta? im confuzzzzzzed

My guess would be you left the outer cage still in the disc.
