What is the correct wheel bearing - advice needed

Post by glasgowjim » Fri Dec 09, 2011 4:12 pm

can any forum member please advise on how to get the right bearing for my car.

There is different part no for the bearing on every websites (eurocarparts has different part no than unipartautomotive, also First line catalogue has different part no and ebay sellers have different part no) - but they all list the bearing as it will fit to 2.0 from xxxx to 1995...

I already bought AC pomp that suposed to fit to 2.0 but it didn't....

Jim

Can you actually SEE the bearing or are you trying to get the part BEFORE rip wheel off?
If it is a rear wheel bearing the disc/hub comes away VERY easily and you can pull the hub in about thrty minutes start to finish
the nut is NOT that tight!

If you have the bearing in your hand,check the number stamped on the rim and just go to a bEARING supplier?
You have probably thought of this ? :-)

Unfortunately it is a front wheel...and the nut is so thigh. I need a proper wrench handle extension.
I want to do exactly what you said. Take it apart and than check the bearing part no.
But there always problem (like lack of tools to undo tight nut) + I am working on a street so cant leave work at any stage and go home when gets dark..have to put most of things back together.
Also my english isn't very good and don't have much of experience so written guides confuses me.
