It may seem very odd me asking for help, but here goes.
I have full confidence with Omega engines, especially V6 - however, I do not excel with suspension work.
My MV6 needs a rear wheel bearing which I understand is a pig of a job.
Any takers? Paid job of course.... :y

I hate getting covered in crap as a general rule, but bring it over to North Hampshire and I'll reduce the book time on replacement for that...because they are a piece of pi$$ to do.
In fact, you want to change both sides (if one has failed, the other isn't far behind), and they are cheap.

Are they really a peice of piss to do mate?
I've read horror stories from others on here - which is why I elected not to do it myself!

The ease of any job depends on two major factors.
1. Your ability to think laterally
2. Your level of common sense.
I say they are a piece of pi$$ to do because I know how it works, but that doesn't follow that it is a piece of pi$$ for somebody who cannot think laterally.
The only "specialised" tool you will need is a bearing puller, the rest can be done with a two bob toolbox that you buy from Halfords.

Can you do a How To for us all then ;)

When mine actually need replacing, I'll quite happily put together a step by step "How To" in PDF, PPT, WMV and DVD format that will be free for everybody.
If you want it before that, cover the cost of the bearings and I'll do the job regardless.

LOL
They are not always a peice of piss, even with bearing pullers...
or the correct vauxhall specific tool.
Sometimes they seize, and require the trailing arm to be removed, much heat applied and bash the bastard out with a sledgehammer.
Not always easy, be glad all yours so far have been :y

That's where common sense and the ability to think outside of the box come in to play ;)
