    Morning Guys,

    Need my Swivvel bearings replaced (already bought SKF's). Tried doing them myself but the driveshaft was siezed in the hub and managed to break a hub puller in the process.

    Can anyone recommend a garage in the S/W, not K-tec though as the want to charge nearly £500 just to replace bearings, I'm not knocking there service work but that was to rich for me.

    Any pointers on who's had these done in the S/W and what it cost would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    OP I use Tech-1 in Upton, Poole for all my RS work. Basically an ex-K-Tech technician who went out on his own to do more interesting race/rally type stuff and Renault/Peugeot hot hatch work cheaper than K-Tax.

    Phone him up and ask, I would be amazed if he hasn't as he seems to have done pretty much everything RS related including engine rebuilds and a ridiculous number of Clio 3 Meg engine conversions.

    We'll that was fun. Just spoke to RSC who wont sell me the seals unless I buy the bearing from them. I kindly informed him that I had the bearing thanks and just needed the seals. I then ask him if he can give me the part number for the seal, no Joy.

    Does anyone have the seal dimensions or a part number for swivvel bearing seals?
