does rear wheel bearing need replacing ?

[richard s]

cheers for the replies guys ive been and ordered a set of bolts and its a good job
i got a 8mm hex socket and tapped it in and as soon as i put a bit of pressure on the ratchet it just spun in the bolt so i then got my irwins out to try and see if they would work and they should once i get some leverage on them
i sprayed with wd40 to leave over night as i cant find any plus gas
so i will be back at it tomorrow once i pick my new bolts up (£8.46 for 4 bolts from vw robbing stards)

Used to use coke to clean the toilet when I was a student, works a treat if you leave it overnight!

  Only a student would think to do that instead of drinking the coke and buying a bottle of bleach for a pound

halfords do a penatrating spray, which is a step up from WD40

saw that and wasnt sure also saw some 3in1 penetrating spray but wasnt sure about that either
i used my irwins with a 3/8 to 1/2in adaptor and ratchet and i had a breaker bar ready as backup but it wasnt needed
only managed one side upto now due tp rain and cleaning rust off stub axle

Those irwins extractors are the nuts
