That front wheel bearing kit is a new one and a new part.

If anybody has an old hub then I might consider doing a trial by fitting one of those to an existing hub.

Is it an intricate job then?

Not really.

Remove the inner races, bearings and plastic bearing retainers.

Remove the inner race (running weld around them works well then they just fall out).

Freezing the new bearing in the freezer and heating the (cleaned) old hub up in the oven.

Fit the new bearing into the old hub.

So, that route would mean the car off the road for a day or so.

You could take the bearing & hub to a local workshop for them to remove the old bearing & to press the new one in.  :y

I don't suppose you know who makes the Vx ones ???

The list above does not give much info ... FAG = FEBI I believe but finding out who actually makes the units is not easy !!

I can't understand how buypartsby can have 2 such different prices for the same thing from their web site and ebay ... but I'm a tad unsure of buying from them after the last one.

I'm begining to think sod it Vauxhall .. even at that price ... :(

Contitech jumps out as an anomalous price - surely shome mishtake?  If not, would Contitech really ship duff bearings given their good reputation for other parts? 

I have no experience of their bearings - just curious.
