05 Charade - urgent - please help . .

Hi all

I have noisy wheel bearings at the rear and am told that on my 05 SL (with ABS), I need to buy the whole hub which from Daihatsu which is £234+Vat - and I need both sides. This is close to writing the car off.

Can anyone advise whether this is definitely the case, or can the bearings be pressed out and replace with the existing hubs? If not - anywhere I may get hubs cheaper - or - would salvage parts be an option?

Please help - I love the little beast and don't want to have to scrap it!!
Thanks in advance
Martin

Wheel bearings

Would've thought you could just buy bearings, but I believe all of that model had the same abs hubs, so you should be able to get one from a scrapper that would fit - that's what my nephew did. He fitted it himself without too much knowledge, and it was fine.

Thanks Weary! Am getting mixed information from different sources, so think the best option is to see if the bearings I have fit. Understand there may be an ABS ring which can perhaps be removed and refitted. I'll find out more on Thursday when the local garage is going to take a look for me.

Thanks again
