looking at replacing the front hub as bearing is pretty much kapput

bought a new one but have never seen one with a ring on it before, the enclosed destructions highlight a special tool im guessing its to locate this

has anyone done this can you get away with out the special tool ?

is there a circlip in the end of the shaft?

No circlip, but it's very important that ring goes in correctly and the bearing is pushed all the way in.

can i ensure this by manually lining up and pushing into place the finishing with "the persuader"

The bearing can be pressed into place but do not press on the drive flange, this will over load and knacker the bearing. It should be pulled into place really Witt he proper tooling.

Persuaders or hammers can't really be used in this instance.

ta

took it to the garage in the end they pressed it in for 30 quid

still got the humming noise progressively getting worse with speed

ill have to try again ?
