are these symptoms that of a dodgy wheel bearing??

i was tired last night lol, whatever way you turn, if the bearing gets louder, its on the inside wheel, when u go left, you pull on the left wheels and push on the right wheels and vice versa.

pulling on the wheel takes the tension off the worn bearing and it grumbles. Pushing on it usually shuts it up.

the new bearing should need pressed in using a g clamp and socket or a press, or a big vice. Or just swap the hub for one with a bearing fitted lol

Have you fitted a bearing with a g-clamp???
I think at least a vice would be needed!

ive a big g clamp that will fit bushes, was just a thought. I do put the clamp spine in a vice however.

a screw thread can put a lot of pressure on with a pipe lever lol, most garages have a hydraulic press anyway and its not dear to get a bearing changed.

From my experience a press is the only way to go with a front bearing. Some people seem to disagree however.
Its actually cheap to buy a budget press, i bought mine off ebay years ago for 100 quid, its pretty basic but it does the job.
