No. The mk7 front wheel bearings aren't taper. I think they are called linear bearings.

They are dual tapered roller bearings, fitted back-to-back in the hub...had mine fall apart whilst I was changing them not long back. They come fitted as part of the hub but are definitely tapered rollers.

:? So you hit it at 12 o'clock then wait until 6 o'clock then again at 3am and 9am?
Cool I'll give that a try
Of course if its tight the only way to get it off is with the allcock special tool number 1.209776666610
It also.fits the custom and can be yours for 20 quid cash
Order now for Christmas delivery :D
