Hey guys.
well i stupidly cross threaded my rear hub last year while fitting multi fittment wheels i put the bolts through the wrong holes, DOHHH!!
the wheel is still secure and i check it every week just to make sure.
but im buggerd if i get a puncture or need to get the wheel off!
im wanting to know if its hard to change a rear hub? I would like to do it myself but not sure if it will be easier taking it to a garage instead...
i can do basic things with a car, service, brakes, exhaust fittment etc but i wouldnt have a clue how to do a clutch or timing belt.. just to give an example of how "skilled" i am or am not lol
has anyone done one before??
thanks guys

if you got a puller, then the job is done.
probably takes 10 to 15 mins of work.

rear disc off, remove hub cap, unbolt hub nut, pull out the old hub;
new hubs in, tighten up the nut, then put everything back on
