Wheel bearing
 

Hi folks, pretty sure one of my wheel bearings is knackered on my '02 bug wagon. Not sure if it's front or back yet but does anyone know if I can get the whole hub assembly like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131277377766 (this ones for an 05 STI) which I'd be able to swap myself or do I need to take it to someone to have the old bearing pressed out? I've not found anywhere that can supply me a whole assembly.

I think a 05 sti had a larger wheel bearing, that's why the pcd is bigger.

The one in the ebay link is described as for a WR1, which is still PCD100 as they weren't widetrack. So the PCD is correct for your bugeye.... but I don't know if anything else is different?

You need a 5 speed hub not 6 speed

There's your answer :ok:

matty is breaking many bugs, but would be STi

Thanks guys, just found a post on another website that says on the later cars the bearing and hub is a one piece unit so unless I go for a whole 2nd hand hub assembly, it'll be a case of getting it booked in somewhere. Unfortunately I don't own a hydraulic press. :( it's not too bad but definitely something that needs doing sharpish.

A v6 hubs the same if you go to jap performance speak to Jas he'll sort you out

This is what I did for one of my fronts, much easier :ok:

Update :D

The noise that a knackered wheel bearing makes is a lot like the noise produced when the rear rubber wheel arch protector comes adrift and wedges itself between the bottom cup on the suspension leg and a rotating tyre.

Might take a trip to jap performance anyway seeing that I now have some spare money :)

Thanks everyone for your help.

Result :ok:
