Saved me a fortune. Hell of a product
1 of 1 found this helpful Due to the ever increasing cost of maintaining my E46 BMW I decided to start doing the work myself.
The rear of the car was in need of attention. One side had a wheel bearing gone and the other had a rusted dust plate meaning the handbrake shoes wouldn't stay attached meaning MOT failure. To get to the backplate I needed to remove the hub flange which would destroy the other bearing.
After a few hours of graft later and the two hub flanges were off.
Time to remove the bearing.
All I can say is this piece of kit is bloody brilliant. The hardest part is selecting the correct plates to remove and install the bearing because the kit comes with a big selection to suit probably every bearing size on today's cars and vans.
Once you have it set up according to the very clear and simple instructions supplied the bearing comes out like a treat. The same can be said for the installation of the new bearing and also the hub flange. This kit makes short work of it all. Do yourself a favour and clean every inch of your running gear and copper grease everything. You will thank yourself afterwards.
The kit is made from sturdy and strong material that I felt comfortable with and had no worries that it may not cope with the stress of the process. Came packaged in a good sturdy box.
All in all it took me 10hrs for both sides to be complete from start to finish. Given to a garage this would have cost me around £400 in labour just for the bearings to be replaced. The parts on top of that would have taken it to £550+ grand total.
I spent £210 and spent a weekend with the air blue and a few bruises and cuts but look what I replaced for that £210 thanks to this kit because without it I couldn't have got to any of the parts to do it.
Both sides:
Wheel bearings,
dust plates,
suspension springs,
hand brake shoes and all spring kits for both sides,
A new hub flange because the one was a right mess
So to conclude:
The above for £210 with the assistance of this brilliant piece of kit or;
£550+ for a garage to replace 2 wheel bearings at hourly rate.
