one litre wonder ;) Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> well seeing as i have hardly updated on anything , thought i would give you lot a wee heads up just incase the parts go on yours as well little 'rosa the rollerskate needs a wheel bearing ( shot to buggery) , wheel hub ( stripped threading on one bolt hole ) new brake pads and discs ( there glazed ) anyway i thought that while i was changing the wheel bearing , i would more than likely need to take off the hub aswell and it shot to hell as well cause as some of the longer serving members may remember that i had the garage and they over tightend a nut and stripped the threading . So i thought i might as well kill two birds with one stone , and both parts are on the passenger side . That as well as my brakes are glazed and i am having to take the caliper and disc off i might as well change the gubbed discs while there off .anyone know if i need a press to get the front wheel bearing in ??

eXXXtreme arosa Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 i got a quote for this a while ago only 50 notes to haven it done but no idea about the press issue speak to teflon he'll know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houston Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 i wouldnt have thought so, but your best bet would be to ask when you go to buy the bearing kit. you gettin pattern parts or oe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one litre wonder ;) Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 just OE , i decided to hold off on getting the bearing kit at the mo and getting it booked into a garage to have it checked over just to make sure its that , other than that i have a shiney new hub and set of brake discs in my room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The subtle modder Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Personally if replaceing hubs etc i would have replaced them with lupo 16v/tdi ones so you would actually have some decent brakes style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />good luck with it anywaywayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one litre wonder ;) Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 your thinking of the wheel bearing and hub carrier mate ( the bit the strut bolts on to , and the wishbone and the stearing rack i'm replacing just the join where the wheel bolts on to and it recieves the driveshaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The subtle modder Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 still while its apart you could have uprated the brakes style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houston Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 its only a 1.0, if its the same as my 1.0 then the brakes work fine! surprisingly fine! asked someone in the know at work and he says you shouldnt need a press, he does lots of vw work and says he's never needed one yet, so go to it!

cardaft Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Did you get the hub from SEAT? and how much did you pay if you dont mind me asking?Are you replacing the bearing at the same time? ive heard these can come to bits when replacing the hub.I think i need a new hub as its distorted so help would be good style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one litre wonder ;) Posted January 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 the hub was about £40ish quid from Euro Car Parts , SEAT wanted £52.something then vat ontop the bearing kits are £32.52 or something like that + vat from both of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one litre wonder ;) Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 well some good news , took it into the garage this morning and they are saying that they took it for a drive ( i checked the milage before and after and it has racked up 20miles ) and they said that they cant seem to get it to make the noise , but its not the bearing as it would do it all the time and then said it was more than likely my brake discs had warped cause they were getting thinner and they were glazed . so i spent this afternoon ( an hour ) changing my discs and pads so we shall see how we go oh and its in again on thursday to get the hub changed style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
