Front bearing and flange

Daveluck · 13th January 2020, 14:30

Hi all,

Was somebody selling these as a complete unit rather than just the bearing or am I dreaming again?

Tried rimmers and DMGRS...I'm sure I saw it somewhere.

They're sold separately, as the bearing would be a pain to press in with the flange already fitted.
We can do you a deal on a kit containing both though - we've got lots of both, and we'll beat any price elsewhere

Drop me a message if interested, and I'll sort it out for you.

All the best,
Mat

Hello Mat,

Thanks for coming back.

I'm umming and ahing...

Do I get somebody to do this for me or do I spent 200€ and pick up a press, mandrels and do it myself?

How long do you reckon a garage would take 2 hours a side?

Obviously I'd be considerably slower and I'd need to buy those toys....decisions decisions

If ever I needed a bearing pressed in (when I got rid of my kit!) I just went to a local engineer, who used to do it for the price of a drink. Many local garages will also do this for you. Sometimes you can do them using a vice and a large socket or a threaded rod, nuts and washers.
