[QUOTE="LCP, post: 166147, member: 2424"] port7, To change the left rear wheel bearing, you need to remove or loosen plenty of things... hafta unbolt driveshaft from the wheel hub (that goes without saying), hafta unbolt the absorber from the mounting points on the arms, hafta loosen the exhaust pipings... of course the exhaust piping is for the driveshaft to clear when removed. Then come the actual work of getting the (usually stuck) bearing housing out of the hub... And the new bearings have to be pumped in... and finally the whole refitting job. My bearings costed me RM105 (dunno what brand, but German made), labour was RM80, and labour "to press in" the bearings was RM40... I think they took 2 hours or more... But if it's the right rear bearing, I think it's a little bit less hassle because the exhaust pipings are not there... [/QUOTE]
