Rear wheel bearing...., squeek squeek squeek Options

[Gilbert914]

Hi All,

for those of you who helped and read my impeller woes, I fitted the woodruff key, installed the hub etc etc, got the engine back in and it's running well and has been for over half a tank of fuel (mileage unknown odometer not working). Thanks again for all the help & advice.

Now...... my rear wheel bearing is squeeking, first i thought the caliper venting clearance may have been out or a siezed caliper, but on jacking up the car releasing the caliper, removing the disc and running the car the squeek still came from the wheel bearing, it's almost like it sounds 'dry' (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

I've seen a few threads on rear bearing replacement, it looks like a real pita to do, i'm tempted to get a shop to do it for me, but welcome any encouraging stories/tips for DIY replacement

cheers guys
