Title: Rear wheel bearings
Post by: gstylebaby on 24 July 2011, 21:45:15

Hi all,
Just wanted to know if the rear wheel bearings are the same for the estate as they are for the saloon ???  Anyone know???  Plus how much of a job is it to do???

No.

They are a different, more expensive part for estates  :'(

What the actual, real difference is, ive no idea though.

can be not to bad....
or more likely
can be an absolute nightmare, and involve removing trailing arm and hammering / pressing the old one out.
