fiat punto 60 1999 - Punto mk1 60s repairs - mondeo1306

hi, our lads 60S punto got broken into, they wrenched the steering but failed to break it, but the shroud now sits off-cock, is it hard to fit a new coloumn?

also, how easy or hard is it to fit wheel bearings? he has a noise (i cant hear it) and ive never fitted either front or rears, do i need a press?

thanks

i have some punto stuff for sale for realistic prices... the bits you need but where do you live??

the wheel bearing will need to be pressed out probably. might be able to drift it. could just swap the hub with mine!

Not sure about the steering column. Suggest you get hold of a Haynes manual - plenty secondhand on ebay. Wheel bearings - front you'll need a press but rears come complete with the hub. The nut will be very tight, so you will need long bar to remove and torque wrench.
