Yet Another Wheel Bearing Problem!!!

Hi Guys,

well straight to the point my passenger front bearing collapsed plus when i pulled it apart the half shaft has snapped too. so after taking ages and ages to get the hub off i finally did it but now i noticed the shaft that the bearing and hub go on has gone like an egg shape and wont take a new bearing.

i think i need from the ball joint onwards (i think its 6 bolts)

can any1 tell me what this part is called so i can look on the internet for one or has any1 got a spare one laying about i could buy

cheers
chris

I'm trying to diagnose a problem on my Disco, what were the symptoms of a collapsed wheel bearing?

wobbly wheel you cant miss it

Sounds exactly like mine then, easy enough to replace for a novice with a socket set?

1st thing i would say is get a hub spanner its like a 42mm scket because if you have left it for as long as i have the nut gets jammed on and will take u all day to hit off with a hammer and chisle. other than that its quite easy. theres plenty of tips on the internet if you get stuck

52mm ,and if nut is stuck if you using sharp chisel hit across nut where flat or slot for lockin washer is nut can be split in a few hits ,as would in that case want replacing

Sounds to me like a job for a professional!
