hi, my mechanic has said to me that I need new wheel bearing repair kits . to sort my nackered ones , so what does repair kit consist of ??????? where and what cost can I get these ??????????? cheers lads mozz
Hi Mozz, most garages will buy and replace the complete hub as it's easier and they can charge you more. It needs a 20 tonne press and a lot of effort to press the old bearing out of the hubhi dave thanks mate , he mentioned that their replacement hubs ?????? I,e, repair kit ?????????? is that right ??????? I thought you just buy 2 new bearings for each wheel ?????? im not sure what hes on about .. thanks dave
+1, b!tch of a job plus you need to press the replacement in square or risk damaging the hub....Hi Mozz, most garages will buy and replace the complete hub as it's easier and they can charge you more. It needs a 20 tonne press and a lot of effort to press the old bearing out of the hub

I gave the scrap man some good hubs last month infact I binned loads of p38 partsnew bearings are nasty to change they are seriously tight,s/h hub replacement is easy but how long it will last is anyones guessSorry to cut in
I too have a rumberly wheel bearing and was contemplating the pressing the bearings out
Im i right that a replacment hub is a home diy job? as buying a hub and diying it is cheeper than having a garage replace the bearings!

Tis bloody hot here with some spectacular night storms, had a mini tornado last night. Too hot to work which is why I'm playing on the computer.
Hope you are keeping well, your P38 seems to be needing a lot of attention at the moment
