rear wheel bearing
« on: 14 August 2009, 12:37 »
had an MOT advisory for play on the near side rear wheel bearing.

does this mean that it needs replacing or just adjusting?

if replacing, ball park figure for garage part and fitting?

Means it cound need adjusting or replacing depends on the state of it, or of it has been tightened up before.

the rear wheel bearings are housed in the discs. you can pick up the wheel bearing from gsf. cant remember how much, but its not a lot. just a case of taking the wheel off, taking the caliper/carrier off, removing the disc, change the bearings and then put it back together.

although maybe the hub nut (behind the metal dome thing, centre of the wheel) is loose.....

either way, garage should only charge an hour labour if you buy the parts. not sure what the going rate is... £20/hr?
