if it was me i'd fit smaller wheels!

 

Mine has had back wheel bearings. Was a bit gutted coz i paid £50 for wheel bearings for both back wheels. Discovered it was my hub that was guttered. £5 lighter walking out the scrappy I had a pretty much brand new hub (The brake drum was hardly worn!) and, i'm guessing, new bearings. Wish I'd got the drum off the other side too, it was new as well. Oh well, hindsight is no good!

 

By the way, when in a scrappy, don't go looking for your own car for rear brake drums. Mine is a MK6 TD and the brake drum i got came off a MK5 1.8 Zetec Ghia Orion. The only difference between the two is that the drum that came off my car had a part number ending in C, the one that came off the Orion ended with an A...

 

And it's a brand new drum too! How much would Mr Ford charge for that?

 

Scrappys... Best thing on earth! Cheap parts, and there's usually an escort in there somewhere!
