Northern Paul Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Afternoon to one and all, One of my rear wheel bearings is wrecked and needs replacing. I've never done it before but a friendly well known NE Landy company has agreed to lend me some tools so I can have a crack myself. Is it a really involved job? I would rate my mechanical skills at 2 spanners out of 5! Any tips or advice apprieciated... TIA, Paulo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromit Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I've not done the rear, but I've done the front. Do you have disks or drums? The drums can be a bit of a swine to get off. Fronts are easy enough. Just make sure you have all the required tools and parts and enough tea & biscuits. A mate for moral support always helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
