Hi All
206 LX 52 plate 1.4
Help, i think i've just broken the bearings on my back wheel. Whilst removing the Hub, (with puller, tapping with mallet, handbrake off) apart from it coming off all weird and i've managed to somehow pinch the cylinder wheel rubber (can this be replaced?) ive left half the bearing on the stub axle, so the back plate will not come off over this part of the bearing. Is It broken? Does this happen? Can it be removed? Sorry lot of questions.
Thank you.

Bearings often leave inner race on the stub axle. It's now a case of finding a way to get the old piece off. An angle grinder to cut a slot in the side then a hefty whack with a chisel and big hammer usually works. Otherwise a puller may work although they are usually very, very tight.
So now you will need a new hub bearing as well.
You can probably get a brake cylinder cover but you may have to buy it as part of a set of seals.

Cheers Gazza, will get on to that. Am i right at assuming that the outer part of the bearing is still in the hub and will need to be knocked out? Then the new bearing inserted into hub, can this be done (by me) or will i have to take the hub somewhere and have the bearing pushed in?

It is easier to get a machine to press the old bearing shell out and press the new bearing back in.
I've always used a hammer and a big screwdriver, and then used the old bearing shell to protect the new bearing while I was smacking it back in. Someone is bound to say it's the wrong way to do it, but i've done it like that since the early 80's and never had a problem. It's just old school.

Thanks Macca1411, old school sounds good. Great tip using old shell. Monday I'm ordering new rear wheel bearing, I can't find replacement /repair rubbers for wheel cylinder so I'm going to get whole thing. Another question, when I replace wheel cylinder I take it I will need to bleed brakes?
Cheers
Guys

Yes you will. When ever you do anything that involves disconnecting a brake pipe, it's always best practice to bleed the brakes.
You have the choice of either replacing the cylinder or buying a seal kit. Both have their own pros and cons.

I've done it like that as well. Changed several over the years in a variety of cars and never had to resort to a press yet. And I think 90% always come off in bits ...
