[mudmav]

hey guys i need to rebuild my front and rear hubs inclduign bearings what should i expect to pay to have this done, inclduding parts and bearings???

It should be about an 8 hour job max for qualified mech.

Around $350 for parts.

$50 x 8 = $400
+ 350
= $750

Depends where you (or your mechanic) get parts from too.

thanks mate, can you suggest anywhere to buy the parts

I had a 'GOOD' experience with ebay parts.

Although the one I baught had less parts than another on ebay..


I baught 'Swivel/hub rebuild kit'
and 'Front wheel bearing kit'


Both had excellent parts.


I tried fitting them myself, but had dramas due to lack of experience. Ended up going to the mech's and getting it sorted there.

Once you know what you are doing, its easy.

Hobzee on this forum sells 'em through his ebay store. I beleive he uses the Terrain Tamer brand. I used this kit from Don Kyatt's in Cheltenham on my fronts, no probs.

I haven't done the rear hubs on mine, but the fronts are quite an easy job really. Just take note of how it all comes apart, use heaps of grease, and it goes together the same way. You'll need a press to replace the king pin bearings, or get someone to do it. Local 4wd shop did mine for free as i didn't have the right mandrel.
