culshaw 1 Posted November 23, 2009 Hi I've just got new bearings and got them pressed into new discs, cost me £15 which I thought was good (for the pressing); Which side is supposed to be pressed as the small bearing has fell out; now i dunno if that just pops in or the garage has done a wank job so before i go mental thought I'd ask, i've done a search too but there was nothing as specific as this bar davidworts 16v manual guide Cheers Ian 1000 words IMG_0079[1].JPG[/attachment:3u2v4i65] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr.ots 10 Posted November 23, 2009 They have put it in correctly. The small part on the bearing (inner) is held in by the nut and thrust washer. Don't over tighten the nut when you do it up, you should just be able to move the washer with a screwdriver. Make sure you pack with grease. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davidwort 0 Posted November 23, 2009 looks to me like they've used dark cv grease :scratch: I'd have thought it should be clear/yellowish ordinary bearing grease? it's also worth re-checking the play in the bearings/washer/nut/split pin thing after driving the car for a few days, should be fine but they can settle in a bit a need a little tightening.

Mawrick 0 Posted November 23, 2009 The grease is probably fine - just bought some bearing grease from Würth and that was also dark.... But then again I could always be wrong...;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
