Peugeot 206 Rear Wheel Bearing

After 150,000kms, my rear wheel bearing gave way. Getting quotations from  workshops and spareparts shops, it seemed like like it was going to be a expensive affire. Each bearing would costs RM160 and labor RM60 perside, which means to replace both rear wheel bearings would cost about RM440. This I felt was too expensive.

So as usual I began my bargain hunting. And finally I managed to get both Bearing changed for only RM220.00

I got my bearings from SKF. Each costs only RM80. Part No. VKBA3525. But the clip that came with this bearing could not be used. So I had to use back the old bearing clip.


 
















To get my bearing fixed, I went to the workshop near my house. Its run by 2 brothers. Very nice chaps. They're not so experienced with french cars but are more than willing to learn and try. They've worked on my car a couple of times before and I'm very happy with their work.


I always enjoy coming here as they are friendly and nice. Always willing to listen to my suggestion on how to replace a part or repair it. They even send me back and come fetch me when the car is ready. Wished more workshops will provide this kind of service.


I replaced my wheel bearing a bit too late. This caused the left rear bearing to be jammed and it was impposible to remove the brake drum. Thank goodness they had a special tool which could solve this.



This red handle is like a dumbell. what is done is this weight is pulled along the shaft and the momentum pulls out the drum.











After the drum was out, replacing the bearings were a breeze as they had the brearing pressing tool. All this was done within and hour and without me burning a hole in my pocket :-)

  6. JUST tell your mechanics to fit grease nipples on your rear arms. Bearings must be lubricated twice a year and will last long. This is a solution to extend their life cycle.
