Front Wheel bearing How To? - Page 2

Removing and pressing back bearing races is exacting work. It's not usually recommended for first timers due to the high chance of damage. However,for anyone experienced in bearing replacement, it's pretty straight forward. Most DIYers will buy a new hub carrier.

Anyone know if 2.5 V6 Connoisseur has same hub/bearing as 2.0 CDTi ZTT??. Local scrappy has one and will be an easier solution just to swap over..... Thanks.... with fingers crossed!.

I know every model has different drive shafts, but I suspect they all have identical hub carriers and hubs. However, I'd like to get confirmation before suggesting you go ahead. Hopefully someone may know a related part number so it can be checked. Rimmer's site is still being developed so not much help there.
