Hey Steve,
Yeah she is RWD with discs, it was the back ABS ring that was knackered, (same as yours) the garage said they had to ‘smash’ the bearing to ‘get it out’ which damaged it (the bearing) that’s why I had to have a new one, also they had to remove the halfshaft so there is quite a bit to it all..
I didn’t really get to the bottom of wether or not they damaged the bearing accidentally/whilst trying to get the ABS ring out, but upon thought it’s pretty likely...
So there must be a way to just replace the ring as a separate piece? Maybe there is a particular way to get the ABS ring out without any damage? It would’ve been much cheaper! The garage was a bit vague on this...
I got the full bill today, I paid €589 all in including a full test.. and the replacement bearing.. I’ll be honest
I was happy with that. I was expecting a total bill of €800 plus.
I realise I’m not really helping you with your question mate, but if your garage thinks the ring can be changed without having to change the bearing I’d be interested to know if it’s possible? Also what they quoted?
Good luck!
