Hi guys.
Seems I may need a rear wheel bearing.
I've used the search function, but got nothing definite.
Can anyone provide some information regarding the rear bearings, I'm assuming there's no difference between the CV8 and VXR variants.
I've got this one in mind, apparently fits a Lotus Carlton as well as a load of other 80/90 Vauxhalls!

Cheers that's brill.

Seems there are loads of bearings available with those precise dimensions including the one I posted.
My mate was right when he said I just owned a fat Calibra!

The wheel bearings are the same for all Monaro's.
It won't find the parts for our cars, the bearing will be found under Calibra and many other older VX cars.

Will do.
I've just ordered an SFK VKBA 1326 and have the car booked in a week Friday for fitting. Fingers crossed it is definitely right.
This bearing also fits some Calibra, Cavalier, Omega and Senator models.

I can confirm the SKF VKBA 1326 bearing fits perfectly.
Dimensions as directly above in previous post.

Haha! No it isn't. I simply threw £180 quid at it and like magic it was done! Expensive I know!
My garage has got some top equipment so was changed in situ without the need to remove the arm or be over brutal with anything.

That's a ridiculous price! It took the technician about 3 hours, that's all. And lets bare in mind he'd certainly never done one before. I supplied the bearing though which was £30.
