Wheel bearing price?

[paddyj]

Going to change my front pads and rotors some time this week. Does anyone know how much wheel bearings are for a VN V6 series 1? Might as well change them at the same time if they are cheap.

WTF? Didn't think they were that hard to remove.

According to the book they come off really easily, although I did read in another thread that someone had to hammer the new ones on.

Ok so I'm not sure which ones to buy. Holden sell the wheel bearings for $17.50 each and repco sell a wheel bearing kit for $27.

The kit includes runners? What are these, do I need them? Should I get the kit or just the bearings?

I'd go the repco kit, while they are too expensive they're cheaper than a holden dealership by a long way.

Thanks got the repco kits this morning, they have two bearings, a cap and a split pin in them. Thought there was only supposed to be one bearing but I suppose I will find out once I pull everything apart.

Nah mate, there's an inner and outer bearing within the assembly. Have fun.

Thanks got it all done late last night, bearings, rotors and pads. Had to take the calipers off to push the pistons back in, other then that was simple enough!

Good to hear mate, it's always a nice feeling when a job goes smoothly.
