e46 front wheel bearing

[evilsee]

I think I might need to replace my front bearing and hub, and I was thinking about doing it myself, but some in some tutorials they use a slide hammer, do you know if this is necessary? I used a big ass screw drive when I did the ones on my *cough* Opel

Cheers.

You will break 50 screwdrivers before you even move it. You need a bearing puller to remove it, or I can do it for you. PM me.

Giz: How much effort to remove the rear bearing?

 

[Gizmo]

Rear bearing more difficult than front bearing as you have to remove the sideshaft first. You still need large bearing pullers to remove it.

I had my rear wheel bearing changed out at the local shop two days ago.
Bearing: R400 from stealers
Labour: R320 discounted to R250...discounted to R60 (Don't ask... ) imp:

The humming is quiet, I can hear my tractor motor again!
