99 1.5 Rear wheel bearing replacement - chindu
Hi,

Wondered if anyone can help me.... On a 106 with tapered rear wheel bearings is the bearing surface machined into the hub or is it part of the replacement kit and has to be pressed in?
If it does have to be pressed in, is this difficult / impossible to do yourself?

Thanks.

hmm... I wanted to do that myself on my '98 Fiesta but I bought the bearing went to a mechanic. He lifted the car and replaced the bearing in 10 minutes and I payed only around 70 croatian kn (that's around 10 eur).

I think I even couldn't do it myself because they used some mean jackhammer or something to force it in and it sounded loud! :)

I think it's in the drum which will knock out and tap a new race into the hub.

Rear wheel bearings are easy. Remove aluminium cover on centre of drum.
Remove drum.
There is a bearing retaining circlip holding in the bearings.. best to remove with circlip pliers.
Remove oil seal. Press or drive out bearings from hub. Press in new bearings and new oil seal. Replace circlip.
Haynes is good on thos...
