I need advice with installing bearings into 124 estate rear hubs. All parts ready on the bench.
Do I press in the bearings into the hub carrier then the hub into the installed bearing? This seems the logical way to do it but just wanted to check before I started...
The hub carrier is off the car in a vice. Is there any advice out there on pressing in the hub? Looks like a difficult job, keeping it straight as it goes in.
My rear subframe renewal has turned into a massive money pit - anyone out there with a 124 estate beware! Almost everything I took off was knackered or seized and needed replacing. I have learned a lesson. Not sure what it is but it is from one of the following: Don't fall in love with a car if you are skint, All cars, even w124s wear out and fixing old cars ain't cheap.
