Guys

I recently bought a pair of wheel bearings on e-bay for a 1600. 1 front, one rear (pictured below). Now without explaining why I would want to do that cause I will never use the front one, and I would obviously change the bearings on both back wheels at the same time, can someone categorically tell me what should be in a rear wheel bearing kit...... this one QH2846 has only one bearing and a couple of seals... I would have expected both an inner and outer bearing. I have never taken a rear hub apart before but the manual obviously shows two bearings in there. When the stuff arrived the packets were open and the seller tells me he opened them himself, so before I talk to him further I just want to know what the go is....

Thanks, Neil.

This is what comes in a kit
2 bearings
axle seal
outer spacer ring.

Note the lock nut is not normally part of a kit.
is with ours tho

Thanks Baz.....As I suspected.... thats the risk of buying stuff off e-bay I guess.....


Cheers, Neil.

Most of the time you only replace one bearing (Well at least I did.) Obviously this bloke decided to flog it off on ebay.

I'd be making sure he gets a bad rating, unless he stated it was an incomplete kit

Your a braver man than I, then Mad1600, when I take those hubs apart, I'm replacing everything replaceable Don't want to have to do it again 6 mths later....

Actually, I had a 'chat' with him on the internet last night .... seems like a genuine mistake and a decent bloke .... he's giving me a bit of a refund and I'm keeping the bearings ....... anyone want a set for a 1600 strut? don't think I'll be using them....

I've already given him decent feedback, maybe should have waited for the money tho....

Thats true, I will be taking that to the mechanic next time. Absoulute bugger of a job, and its a job which I am more than happy to pay someone else to do!

THIS ONCE HAPPENED TO ME WITH AN UNOPENED BOX. TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND HE AGREED THAT IT WAS CRAP AS IT SHOULD REPLACE BOTH BRGS. HE RANG HIS SUPPLIER AND LET HIM KNOW WHAT HE THOUGHT, EVENTUALLY THE STORE OWNER GAVE ME TWO MORE BEARINGS AND TOOK THE DISPUTE UP WITH HIS SUPPLIER!
