vauxhall corsa wheel bearing rear how to fix it

rob, June 2007

what ever you do don't tighten it too much. wheel must run free and stop itself when turned after so many revolution. too tight and it will self destruct and you could hurt yourself and other road users.

Same as holes_666 but remember to fill the bearing housing/hub with about 70g of bearing grease this will help to lubricate the bearing at high speeds. And also when fitting the inner bearing (the big one) fill with good quality grease before fitting seal on.
