Renault 5 gtd 1986 - Front Wheel Bearing - how to change?

Post by harvestmouse »

Hi

If anyone has got any tips for this job, I would be grateful to know before I start.

Most important question: Is the bearing held in by a circlip, or does it have to be removed / replaced using a hydraulic press?

Thanks in advance

No experience of it. Keep an eye out in the charity shops for a Haynes manual. I have seen one ages ago for a quid I think.

Hi Lexi

I'm stuck in France, no Haynes. Hopefully someone can help. I have googled it, but you'd be surprised how hard it can be to find simple info.
