Morning A2 fans

As our beloved cars rack up more miles , and become , to some worth less , the cost of the repairs can weigh heavily on the wallet ...

So , to start the ball rolling , and please forgive me if this is already happening...

I need to purchase the tool for the removal and re-installation of the front wheel bearing . This tool , I would be happy to loan out , for a small charge and deposit, plus the post and packing costs for the membership of the A2OC once I have used it .


So , any thoughts on the tool , or the level of demand

Cost wise ... again what’s the groups thoughts for “loaning “ the tool out ?

Regards Mark
 
Where are you ? When our A2 needed a Front Wheel Bearing we took it to Westgate Tyres Morcambe. They found they did not have the type of Puller Needed, so they bought one straight away, on the grounds that they would need it again, even though it cost them more to buy the Puller than the cost of the new Bearing / Hub plus Labour.

I just noticed that the ring on my old wheel hub / bearing is missing on the new one. I'm not sure of its task?

And 2:49 into the SKF video it states:

I think I skip that. Any comments?

That's what locks the bearing in place, so you need it.

Better with it.

I have bought new wheel bearing to all wheels and there is no ring on any bearing. I have bought the correct parts from SKF.
 
Funny, thats how i recall it too from the front wheel bearing job i did on our 2007 Fabia.
