_Matt_ 26 Posted January 21, 2023 SKF are a good brand too. I went for FAG on my Corrado and have Meyle HD on the mk3 16v https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361708204477 Do you know if your axles have been separated from the wheel hub before? I had a hell of job breaking the factory grip on the mk3 - 20tonne press, impact gun, tools specifically made for the job too and struggled for days. With the Corrado I saved myself the hassle and got Stealth to do it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 44 Posted January 21, 2023 I wish I could find the FAG ones. I've gone off SKF as the mk2 ones were a pain for me. Fortunately these have been off a couple of thousand miles ago, so hoping for that bit to go okay 🤞 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Matt_ 26 Posted January 21, 2023 Aren't these the FAG ones you need for the Corrado?https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361708204477?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=_fUSZCitRmO&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=fE0d-bB2R7m&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPYSent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 44 Posted January 21, 2023 Yes. That is who I ordered a pair from on 11th Dec, never arrived.... just received my money back this week. There were also some advertised as genuine NOS but suddenly not for my car. I wonder if people forget to remove the adverts when they have no srock Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 22 Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) The FAG part number is on the bay listing, googling said number brings up a few suppliers inc auto doc 713610040 Edited January 21, 2023 by Dox Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keyo 47 Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) The best three known bearing manufacture's in no order fag- skf - nsk- all are good and oe to German brands. Ive been doing a bit of research on bearings and the bearing will be code size - skf has a pdf of what the codes mean on their website. Yours will be a 2rs bearing ( 2 rs sealed both sides) Then you have different codes for a ridge for circlip - or c code which means internal clearance of ball bearing- if you can read the codes on your old bearing- you will be able to buy that bearing direct which will be peanuts.
