Reply With QuoteWheel hub bearings can be purchased separately. You'll need to have the old ones pressed out of the hubs though. And it'll be a whole lot cheaper changing just the bearings compared to swapping complete hub assemblies.

Hey everyone!
My front right wheel has a fair amount of play, and as I was due to drive Townsville to Brisbane Friday just gone I thought I'd get my mechanic to re-pack or replace all four for me! Got the call back saying that they are the "hub-type" and can't be re-packed (fair enough), he also mentioned that rover in Brisbane wanted $935 to send just one to Townsville! I think he may have been given a quote for the actual hub rather than bearings...
Is it possible to simply replace the bearings or is it a complete new hub that's required? I have no bearing noise, it was simply a part of my pre-trip inspection!
In the end I didn't risk driving it, we drove the 3500km weekend on my partner's Suzuki jimny (I now have a sore back, legs, ass and RSI of the wrist)!!
Cheers

Sounds quite the job to me! I can get brand new hubs cheap enough, might go that way!

If you are looking for a cheapish way out I would get a second hand hub from the UK. Would cost a bit to post but not much to buy. Because of the weight it might be cheaper to get one from a breakers yard in Oz if you could find one.
Easy to change the hub but get the hub not loosened before you start.
I took my car to a Truck tyre place and they loosened it and re-torqued it after. It Was stupidly tight.
I did a write up with pics on changing the CVJ which involves removing the hub
Major part of the heart and soul of AULRO.comTry Andrew E on this forum (Son of Bundalene in eVilBay). I bought a pair of rear axles from him - he wrecks P38As. Now I have them, I should never need them.Originally Posted by wayneg

The bearings are notoriously difficult at times to get out of the hub, at least a 20T press is required.
