marcus Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 (edited) go to ford, get one for £30 and fit it yourself, its a 20min jb, piece of Pee take wheel off, take the cover off the middle of the drum, undo the big nut, take drum off and the bearing will fall out, then wipe grease off, re-grease with new stuff and insert new bearing, put drum back on, fasten the big nut, put cover back on, put wheel back on.......job done Edited October 20, 2004 by marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyrix Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 That right marcus? When i did the ones on my disk beam there were 2 bearings and two races that needed to be hammered out of the stub axle. I was assured the bearing was the same part as the drum type. Also costs between £15-20 at motorfactors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
