Hi guys!

Took the car out at the weekend and noticed bearing noise from the rear left. THought I had solved this a couple of months ago by replacing the hub nuts with the porsche part and tightening them but I guess that was just masking the fact the bearing needs replacing.

Got the new part and removed the brakes. I`ve done this before on my old Nissan but how the heck do you remove the hub on the Noble to get into the bearing? Are there bolts around the back? Do I have Any help appreciated so that I can be back on the road in time for Sunday!

Cheers

Rob

I did a FRONT bearing a few weeks back, this MAY help.

there was a bolt through the sub axle (and as I type this I'm thinking about the drive shaft) on the rear) the front end of which took a spanner and the at the rear a 17mm Allan Key.

Um I'll get back to you with more information tomorrow (Wednesday) can't remember the order I did things in now and I can talk to the garage who did one of my rear bearings

you will need to get the hub off and push the old bearing out in a press and then push the new on back in with a press

not a job for your front driveway !
