n boost Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Can u get old/knackered wheel bearings rebuilt from any where? Someone said u can but never heard off any places and a quick search on google didn't find much either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozz Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 can't see that it would be worth it. I had massive issues finding a wheel bearing for a frontera years back (don't ask) and found a company that sold only bearings (not just for cars). Was only about £20 for a bearing. Clydach Bearings I think, won't help you though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexsum Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Isint the problem with bearings that they wear out so the metal is worn away causing them to have space for transverse movement and instability as a result, so how would the metal be repaired other than replacing the rings?

n boost Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 I haven't a clue lol! I just replaced a wheel bearing in my e46 m3 and it cost's £175 from the stealer! I still have my old one as they come built into the hub and was wondering if i can get someone to recon it and keep it as a spare, quite sure it would be way less than the stealer.

Chris Wilson Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 No, they are special bearings unique to the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
