Alan Escort SI Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 When buying wheel bearings pay good money! if you go cheap you get a "copy" of a ford part that wont last long. When you go to ford you get the proper part for the job and should be built to last. Is it the front or the back bearings that you are doing? atempt the back they are pretty easy but if it is the front you are attemping take it to a garage a proper press is required to fit the bearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus Posted August 26, 2003 Author Share Posted August 26, 2003 it is the front ones, i have bought the bearings from ford and my dad said he has done loads in the past and is confident that he can do them properly so i will let him have a go and see how it goes Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
