Hi,

Is changing a rear wheel bearing a diy job or garage ?

Mine is starting to grumble - 2.4 JTD 130

Best place to buy from ?

Thanks

Graham

I found it a generally easy job (marea weekend) Torque on the hub nut is
very high, I would recommend a 3/4" drive socket, with big F.O. ratchet,
which is what I used. The old bearings will likely fall apart when you
pull the hub off, leaving the inner race on the stub axle, but that came
off fairly easily too. You'll also need a suitable (big) torque wrench
to tighten the new nut.

I always used www.shop4parts.co.uk for fiat stuff. Very good service.

Oh yeah, get a new brake cylinder well you're shopping, IME you'll need
to replace it.
