I've got a friend with a press now so I'll get him to press them in. But thanks for the info Luke :). | |

Yeah the inner race will pop out if you push it in without supporting the other side of the bearing, just try the threaded bar method, makes it easy ;) | |

Well I think when I put them in, one of the bearing races slipped out slightly. I had nothing else at the time so put them in properly and hoped for the best. They have done well to last 8 months I guess. | |

How about getting the hub into the bearing? You can just do it by freezing the bearing for an hour and putting the hub carrier in the oven at about 150 degrees/gas mark 2 for an hour. Then a quick spray of WD40 in the hub carrier before you slot the bearing in and it goes in much easier. Just cool it all down once its in so the grease in the bearing doesnt melt. | |

Bearings were put in using a large socket and a copper hammer tapping it in gentley going around the socket untill it was in. | |

How are you putting the hub into the bearing and the bearing into the hub carrier? | |

Surely your doing something wrong then? Like I say the cheapo ones have been in 2 years now and put up with 280BHP daily. Now Ive said that I will probably drive home and have a wheel collapse | |

the regular "big shaft" setup uses the standard corsa bearing, never had a problem with my cheapo bearings | |

What wheel bearings do you C20LET corsa owners use? This is for use with motorsport hubs btw. |
