Had my n/side done at a local garage some years ago at 4 hours labour.

Would welcome the chance of watching/helping to see how it is done incase I ever need to get 1 done again as I am also local

Possibly a " Wheel Bearing Meet " then ?

That would be me then!

Although I can't do anything for a couple of weeks as I'm away next weekend.

Scrapping it for two £30 parts and an afternoon's work seems a bit much. It's not that bad a job, once you've acquired some appropriate tools. Facilities aren't that important; I did mine in the street.

Thanks for offer, will talk logistics etc, when you return, I have a few tools for general car repairs, have replaced front pads, rear discs, pads & h/b shoes in last 6months but dont have any "heavy duty" garage gear which I suspect this job needs. happy to help and be "the other pair of hands" but really would be working in the dark if doing myself.

It's only next weekend I'm away! The only heavy duty gear needed is a decent jack/axle stands and a hefty torque wrench.

If you'd like to bring it to me on Saturday 10th August, I'll be happy to help. Just bring the car and a new bearing; Eurocarparts in Quarrywood had them on the shelf when I bought mine last year.

Thanks Nick,
Saturday 10th I am in London all day, but could do Sunday 11th If you want to keep your Sundays clear I fully understand and could do Saturday 17th.
