Rear Wheel Bearing.. Talk To Me...

[Rob]

Ok so one of my rear wheel bearings has gone I think, but tbh I could also do with new rear discs anyways.

I remember reading somewhere that discs come with bearings in already or something? Or am I talking crap?

If not, is it something I can do myself? Or something worth paying to get done?


Many thanks, hugs and kisses

The guy with the constantly broken ph1...

They mostly come fitted with bearings, some do not. As you need new discs as well Reno OE's are for you, or ECP or GSF supply other brands with bearings.

 

[Rob]

So if I get a set from NWP they'll have bearings in them? So I can just change those over and it'll be sorted?

Cheers for the swift reply.

 

[Soot1e]

Yes. NWP are nice people to do business with, the web site should say if they have fitted bearings.

LOL! that bloody car. Have you actually checked it first?

 

[Rob]

I haven't checked it Mike, but the rear brakes looked shagged anyways, I'm 99% sure its a wheel bearing as its there when I turn engine off or clutch down etc and I can hear it coming from the back.

How do I go about checking it??

 

[Daniel]

jack the car up and wobble the wheel top to bottom and side to side. If theres play, it needs a bearing. The same can be said if it won't turn freely.

That fcuking car!! Wish i'd never sold the fcuking thing to you!!! Sorry mate.

 

[MikeB]

yeah as dan said and spin it listening for a rumbling noise. Oh yeah i may have a set of brand new renault discs you can have il double check tommorow!

 

[Rob]

Cheers Daniel, I'll check it soon, its definately one of them, as I've had one go before and it sounds exactly the same.

S'alright dude, just what happens when you buy second hand motors I guess.

I spent thousands on that 1.2 before it worked beautifully, I just hope the same can't be said for this one... lol!

Mike, you rock my world tbh.

 

[MikeB]

they have been there for ages customer never showed up for them!

 

[Rob]

Tell me more, in text, tmrw.

I'll buy the pads and we'll get it done yeah?

Only thing I haven't got is a socket big enough for the hub nut...

 

[Daniel]

Do I need to buy Mike a beer??

 

[MikeB]

Dont worry i have got everything no worries il give you a call tommorow!

 

[MikeB]

Do I need to buy Mike a beer??

Cold bottle of bud sounds good to me

 

[Rob]

Do I need to buy Mike a beer??

I'm confused, why are you buying mike a beer? And not me?

Dont worry i have got everything no worries il give you a call tommorow!

Even pads mate??? If not I'll pick some of those up tmrw or something.

Once we're done with fitting, I'll buy you that bud down my local.

You're a diamond.

 

[Daniel]

I'm confused, why are you buying mike a beer? And not me?

Do you feel left out?

 

[Rob]

Do I get a hug if I say yes?

 

[Daniel]

No. I don't hug men that are slimmer than me. Sorry.

 

[MikeB]

LOL! I will double check first thing and will call you around 1pm.

 

[Rob]

No. I don't hug men that are slimmer than me. Sorry.

Sorry chubs

LOL! I will double check first thing and will call you around 1pm.

Cheers mate, talk to you then.

 

[Rob]

Oh and I've got my camera sorted now so if you're about to get it done one eveing, we can get some evening car park shots too (not a particually good camera, but I have a mini tripod and it makes for a better evening photo due to no shake with longer shutter times)

 

[MikeB]

Sounds good! I should be able to do them any evening after tues-wed as i have got the bmw to finish waiting for a bloody window regulator!

 

[Rob]

You doing it all at work?? Or if not want a hand with anything? I've busted my wrist so I'm not that much good though... lol!

 

[MikeB]

Lol its all good doing it at work. Cheers though.

Get new discs with pressed in bearings... instead pressing your old ones out (good luck) re-pressing them in the discs to find out they knackered and you'll press them to pieces in doing so anyway.

Or after some months do it allover again with new bearings.
