bighands 0 Posted July 21, 2004 im not at work today due 2 the fact my car only has 3 wheels :cry: I was trying 2 replace the 2 wheel bearings, front and back, and have buggered the rear caliper up, but the problem is with the front, i thought the wheel bearing had gone, but the play seems 2 be in the suspension, from the top and bottom of the wheel, you ans move it about 5-10 mm, when the car is jacked up, but no movement sideways, so i have brought a wheel bearing for nothing! the top mount i think has gone, or is loose, but there only a year old, this normal??? Oh and any good ideas on how 2 get a piston back in on the rear caliper?? So i can go 2 work tomorrow! :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazzyvr6 0 Posted July 21, 2004 theres a tool you can buy from halfords to wined the piston back in,but you could use a pair of pliers in a vice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
