hi to all members,well our daughter is going to be very happy..her 2.3 ultima estate has passed its MOT this morning,the tester did draw my attention to a rear wheel bearing that may need to be replaced before the next MOT..just a little play in the bearing but not enough to fail the car...a job for dad in the new year.  .regards den. .

hi there
don't leave it!!!
any movement will end up taking out the hub as well.
you don't get much warning when it goes.

Snoopy has done a step by step write up  HERE. As Andrew says DO NOT LEAVE IT. You will need a 'brake wind back tool' in order to wind back the rear caliper piston as it is a screw thread ( for the handbrake) so you cannot push it back. You also will need a large torque wrench to get the nut tightened to 200ft/lbs which is way beyond the range of most DIY torque wrenches.
