Seems I have a rear wheel bearing gone and to add to the job the last MOT said the rear discs will need replacing soon. Handy thought I as if you have to take a hub off replacing the discs makes sense. So my question. Where can I get rear hubs with bearings already pressed home? I tried Autodoc and despite having the reg they managed to send me FWD rear hubs, if that makes sense, and then they suggested an alternative which was just the bearings!! Without the use of a press, I'm thinking this isn't much of an alternative. So I've googled and googled and found nowt Is it me or are the hub assemblies hard to find? Any suggestions...pls??

So I've looked into the maintenance history of the van and the rear discs were changed a year or so ago, so would I be right in thinking the "mechanic" may not have torqued the hub nut to the "silly torque" required and this has caused the bearing to fail? The driver's side definitely gives the classic wopwop sound. Guess I'll have to buy new bearings and pay to have them pressed into the hub??
