So they're both going majorly... makes for a nice quiet journey!
Will this be ok? Ebay!
They've got some on AEP Direct, but they're £30 each, so you can see the attraction to eBay.
Also, are they difficult to fit? Or basically the same as the front?
Cheers

I can see the ebay attraction, but worth paying that bit extra for the quality, last thing you want is for the bearing to collapse.
They are fairly easy to fit. You may have to make an improvised bearing puller with a long bolt with nuts and washers, socket and piece of decent gauge metal, but apart from that shouldn't have a problem.

Change an entire beam just for the sake of a wheel bearing?
It's only about an hours work tops to do both sides.

Hmm I may have to consult my finances and go with AEP. But also got an MOT this month and a service... What is about everything coming at once?! lol!
Definitely not changing the entire beam, isn't that like a s**t load of money?

You might be able to get SKF or similar from a local motor factors. If bearing is showing excessive wear, you'll need it changing for the MOT anyway.
