I know what you mean about trying to replace the Bearings I would not even try that lol. Any way My new Hub arrived yesterday, So now I have everything to rebuild New Hub,New Disc,New Pads, small bottle of Blue locktight, And New Hub Nuts.Got the Nuts from main Fords £13 !!. One thing that amazed me was while at the parts dept of a Main Ford Agents near to me along came a Euro Parts Van dropping off parts !! They must be buying cheap parts and charging Ford prices for them.Unbelivable. So the next Time you hear someone say I Only bUY Genuine Ford Parts ,, Are you sure they are genuine Parts !!!!!!!!!!…. Next week I will start on the other sides Disc/Rotor and Pad swop hope that goes better.
Ford Transit 280 SWB,,Year 2008,,2.2,, If it can,t be fixed/repaired/ with a 4 pound lump hammer then it must be an electrical problem.

My quicko sometimes has cheaper options available. I've been offered genuine or oe. Guess they rather any sale than no sale.

Don't forget, the dealer is a franchise with the Ford badge on so after they pay Ford I guess the money is their own, that explains why prices can vary :?
