Rangie

I Have a 1999 4.0ltr Rangie and wonder if anyone can give me an idea on how
to replace LH Front Hub Bearing
Thanks,
Baz

The short answer is you can't.

The slightly longer answer is that you can IF you can get access to a
machine shop that has a suitable press but the pressures involved can
result in cracking the housing. The press required is well beyond the
scope of most workshop presses.

The normal way to do it is to replace the complete hub which will set
you back over 2 hundred quid IIRC but this is normally the cheaper
option at a garage as, by the time you've shipped the hub to a
specialist and with the danger of splitting the hub anyway, the costs
soon mount up. If you go for the replacement hub then it's an easy job
to do. Probably not one you'd want to do yourself though if you have to
ask the question...

The bearing is 70.50 inc VAT here, a lot cheaper than a hub!
To fit it you need to find a suitable equipped workshop,
most independent LR dealers have a suitable press (around
here, anyway)
