      I’m afraid I don’t know. Mine hasn’t come undone. They can apparently differ depending on model/year so do a bit of google search but the bolt is a 1 time use only.

      This was 3 hours start to finish taking time to record all the video stuff too.

      Obviously had to go out afterwards and get a wheel speed sensor but that’s a 2 minute fit.

      Whats the hourly rate charged by independents ( say in an mid sized rural town )

      @joegarrihy6881 honestly I don’t know, I’ve been doing my own car maintenance since I passed my test in 1998. I obviously have friends in the motor trade but we have a reciprocal agreement, they ask me about classic cars and wiring stuff, I ask them about modern stuff.
      I would have thought the hourly rate would easily be £80 per hour but sometimes they’ll do certain Jobs at a fixed price. Can’t hurt to ask your local garage. Worst they’ll say is to go away. Or words to that effect.

    thats the wrong way to press that bearing in, you are supposed to only press on the outer face of the bearing. they are a bugger to do without the proper tool. pressing it in the way you did it will mar the bearings and it will fail before long. i havent got the proper tool but i got around by cutting an old brake disc in 2 with an angle grinder and putting it in so the center bore of old disc sits on the outer face of the bearing and pressing down with a large socket on the back side of the hub. worked a treat. hth

      Aahh I’m with you. Something to go between the drive flange and the bearing to stop the side pressure on the bearing surface. Noted. It didn’t take much pressure to press this in but if it fails again short term (we’re 6 months in now) I’ll 3D print something for the task of replacing it next time.

    Why not just change the wheel hub

      Just the Costs mainly. The bearing alone was a lot cheaper and really not that much faff. £75 all done.
