The old hub


And the best measurements I can get


It doesn’t look worn to me. No blueing or ridges. It obviously was though.

Good work....!

[Tractor Dave]

Can you take some photos of the old hub and some measurements from that part that goes into the bearing?

Sure. Will do.

Good news Dave
She must be nearly finished now?

Btw you can edit the post in Tapatalk, cut and paste the pics in the correct order

Yep, nearly there. I have issues with my Speedo and trip but I've bought another set here. Hopefully coming tomorrow. Then I have the gearbox part to change ( got one here) and minor adjustments to doors then paint!

Excellent news, well done

I took her for a drive and all play is gone.

[Tractor Dave]

Sorry guys. Tapatalk has put the pics in the wrong order. If anyone needs/wants a tutorial I can do on a separate thread.
Getting the old bearing out was not that easy. We had used some bearing fit to see if we could take up the play. It went with quite a bang.
The new bearing and hub both went in really easily and the tool has a self centre action.

My new flange (hub) came very quickly from Autewo. Ordered Friday last week and came on Wednesday!
It looks very well made



Fitting was quite easy with the new kit.

You'll be quite surprised just how much force you will get with that fine ACME thread and a long breaker bar

£80 is truly a bargain... has he got another

[Tractor Dave]

I think you are both right there.
It was a no brainer not to buy though. My VAG mechanic friend charged me £50 to do the bearing on the car. He said he hadn't used the tool in over 2 years so I asked if he wanted to sell it? He agreed, at £80. Now I don't have to call him back to 're do the bearing when the new hub arrives. I looked online and that tool is £400 + new

I was going to say... Almost 17 tons for one of mine when it finally went BANG on the way out...
