I had the wheel bearings changed on my old A4, and it mainly involved a lump hammer and elbow grease!

I don't think its a particularly specialist job for any car, is it?

Most of the items in each corner is Ford so should be straightforward, but I may be wrong.

They are Ford hubs, don't know if the bearings are special to TVR

The job isnt difficult at all. Worst bit is getting a torque wrench to go to the torque setting.

I would have thought most decent garages could do it, not really any different than a sierra rear end.

Hi Paul

Try the Westmoreland Garage & MOT station in Southlands Road - its only a couple of minutes from you & they are very TVR friendly.

You can call them on 020 8464 1201

Good luck

Paul,

Also, if you think it will last that long, contact Andy @ APM Automotive

His number is in the back of Sprint.

Its quite a way (Hampshire), but he wont rip you off.
