Hi all.

Hope someone out there can help me. Looks like a rear wheel bearing is failing on my 02 plate fabby. Being brave (and skint!) and going to change it myself. However ive failed miserably because I cant get get the screw that holds the rear drum in place out! Ive tried wd40, a hammer, a cordless, shouting at it, prayer....everything but its just stuck and the screw head is becoming damaged. My question is does anyone know the screw size for this so i can just use a screw extractor set and replace with a new screw? I live a few miles from any hardware stores so i want to have the part in before i take the bleedin' thing out and am stranded!

Whilst on the subject, if anyone has a decent step by step guide for changing a rear bearing it would be most appreciated, biggest thing is what size socket will i need to remove the securing screw and what is the best way to tap a new bearing in place.

Many thanks in advance

you need an impact driver

that nut can be a muver on other cars so get the scaffold bar ready , a blow torch can help

ive always tapped the bearing races in using the old ones or a socket the right size
