I Have a 1999 4.0ltr Rangie and wonder if anyone can give me an idea on how to replace LH Front Hub Bearing Thanks, Baz


The short answer is you can't.

The slightly longer answer is that you can IF you can get access to a machine shop that has a suitable press but the pressures involved can result in cracking the housing. The press required is well beyond the scope of most workshop presses.

The normal way to do it is to replace the complete hub which will set you back over 2 hundred quid IIRC but this is normally the cheaper option at a garage as, by the time you've shipped the hub to a specialist and with the danger of splitting the hub anyway, the costs soon mount up. If you go for the replacement hub then it's an easy job to do. Probably not one you'd want to do yourself though if you have to ask the question...

The bearing is 70.50 inc VAT here, a lot cheaper than a hub! To fit it you need to find a suitable equipped workshop, most independent LR dealers have a suitable press (around here, anyway)
