Good advice, if the local outlets (check Holdens price too) seem too expensive then they probably are.There are outfits in the UK that can supply Opel/Vauxhall parts cheap as chips even taking into account exchange rates and freight.

Thanks for that, my car doesnt have abs etc i just take the wheel off then the dust cover, then pull the split pin out then undo that nut then take out the little stell cover thing, then take out the wheel bearing ! Great success !

This is going to get interesting! (Nothing like new tapered rollers running with a 2nd hand outer race).

No no, the race is what you do when you run around in circles chasing your tail and judging by your posts so far,that will be you

Excuse me I don't know where your coming through but I am not going to do install them for the OP got enough work at the moment. If that is suppose to be a smart ass insult or one of these having a laugh (which people always seems to target me funny enough on here) it is not appreciated.

man you missed a few steps there. What about the inner bearing and its casing and the outer bearing casing! I think you should do all those! Are they pressed in!

Consider yourself excused.
I thought you had a good sense of humour and enjoyed a little light hearted repartee and the swapping of the odd wise crack !
