Title: Front wheel bearing Post by: RDG496 on 20 April, 2021, 09:57:08 AM Morning all, I recently had my S2 1.3s MOT'd the garage was surprised to see one so dry (Rust free) which was nice however I have an advisory of play in the right hand front wheel bearing. I know you need a special tool to remove the bearing but the garage thought they may be adjustable.
My question is are they, or is it new wheel bearing time ? Cheers.

It is necessary to have 2 special tools to remove the outer hub nut and the inner bearing retainer, I guess the Club may hire them out. Andrea

Email me (back of VL) for more info. I would strongly recommend dealing with the repair as a worn bearing can quickly wear our the stub axle and finding a replacement is almost impossible.
