Dear All and thanks in advance,
Had a bit of a intermittent hum/rubbing noise with a slight rumble. Thought it was near side front, but after jacking up the front and spinning the wheels, the Offside front is rumbling and has play on both the 3/9 test and 12/6 movement check. I can see the whole wheel and disc moving, so I’m pretty positive it is a Wheel Bearing gone.
I have recently changed a hub on a Passat and had the pleasure of hammering the c**p out of the hub for an hour to get it off. Really easy once it’s off. I see the Disco 4 might be slightly easier, but any advice on the torque for the hub retaining nut and also about punching the nut with a chisel before removing to stop any axle damage.
I think the tools required are a 12point 21mm socket for the brakes, T50 Torx for the disc and then a 32mm hex socket for the hub retaining nut.
I will be removing the speed sensor and the retaining nut for the brake lines as well.
Any other pointers would be appreciated, before I put the disco on jacks again!
Cheers
