GSF - Don't forget your 10% club discount. If they can supply more than one quality of wheel bearings opt for the best as some of the cheapo ones appear to be made from plasticine.

you'll need a big 46mm socket for those and a fat bloke to jump on the breaker bar

but the rest are easy, if not dirty jobs.

may i ask the reason for the bearing replacment?

if its play , then my advise unless its 'excessive play ' then dont.

the setup allows for a certain amount of play that can last for years!

you may fit new ones and find within months they are back to having play, or they will have play when you fit them.

both my vans have play in there rear bearings , the one van has had the same amount since i have had it , about 5 years and i have worked it hard doing 60000 miles!

obviously if they are rough or noisy then change them

As Bill numbers say's but if you do decide you need to change the rears DO NOT buy them from GSF, they have a known issue with their wheel bearings. Pay a little extra and get the proper thing from Brickwerks.
