How do you change a front wheel bearing on 2006 vauxhall vectra?

Answer 1

the wheel bearing and abs are one unit. remove wheel, get some one to press brake and remove big drive bolt from drive shaft, using car brakes to lock drive shaft. need a large socket and a tobolar bar, say off a jack, to place in bar breaker. extra leverage.

remove abs cable disconnect off suspension strut, need to flict down a clip, off struct and between wire to remove. remove callipers, remove calliper bracket remove disc, remove corner bolt lover, remove ball joint bolt, may need a ball joint press tool, remove 2 supension struct bolts. the neck shot move lever off brackets and lower joints, pull slightly drive shaft amy come off gear box, easier to remove but place a container to catch clutch fluid. WD40 on drive shaft and wood on head and tap out with hammer, on neck 3 bolts remove, checkl pics on ebay for repalcement bearing and scrap parts. Mine was rusted and i belive it may need to be pressed out. Tools for Job, container catch clutch fluid, ratchet 18 mm sockets, Vectra socket for calliper bracket, allen key sockets, caliper, ball joint tools, large socket for drive shap bold and large ratchet, better if next size up from 1/2 inched, and jack pole to fit over, helper, spacer for caliper if using braked to releae drivce shaft bolt, rememember one caliper is off and will compress, press. Haynes manual has some good images swivel hub, beraing on vectra cost £50 (abs same unit) scrap 25-30. Section 10.4-10-7 helpful. My bearing was full rust abd crud.
