Front hubs and bearings - DIY or not?

[Rob_W]

So I've bought new hubs and bearings but would like to know if this is relatively straight forward DIY task or a knuckle busting pain in the arse requiring special tools like pullers etc and best left to those better equipped?

Any advice or guidance appreciated.
Cheers

involves taking the uprights off the car and pressing out the bearings... easy if you have the tools, major pain if you don't lol

Cheers Andy, that answers that one then!

That reminds me. What's the part that the speed sensor uses to register speed, i.e. the toothed nut.

I've had all my hubs and bearings replaced but noticed that the toothed nut is rusty as hell.

Every time I clean the car I loose my speedo until it dries out.

Sounds like the sensor not the nut being the issue?

You could always pull the uprights from the car and take them to a local shop to have the hubs/bearings pressed out and the new ones pressed in...Even if the shop knows nothing about Nobles, they should be able to do the hard work for you for minimal cost.

Hi Jim

I might have a go at that.
