Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted January 20, 2024 Moderator Report Posted January 20, 2024 Currently getting all the bit an pieces together to change the front discs and pads and a seal kit for the calipers. Do you guys change the hub bearings at the same time or just leave it if the are fine?
Miniliteman Posted January 20, 2024 Report Posted January 20, 2024 Leave them if they are fine. And if you do change them use a good quality item, no cheap Chinese crap. 2
Vista Estate Posted January 20, 2024 Report Posted January 20, 2024 Check for play and noise with wheel on. No harm in regreasing them. Make sure you don't overtighten them. 2
Nige65 Posted January 20, 2024 Report Posted January 20, 2024 I changed mine recently due to the seals being a bit knackered, grease was splattered where it wasn’t welcome! 2
Johnny Boy Posted January 20, 2024 Report Posted January 20, 2024 Spin up the hub , check for noise, clean, inspect , re pack with grease.

There is no noise or play or anything but I know the SKF ones in it are not Chinese but if were to replace them now even by them again they would be from China as they have stepped up manufacturing in China since then. So do you change for maintenance sake but most likely they will be Chinese or leave the ones that are in it If memory serves the ones in it were made in Japan.
