GTA Turbo 501 Rear Hub Bearing replacement.

Postby redodare » Sun Sep 05, 2010 4:17 pm

Does anyone know an alternate supplier of these bearings, or do I have to pay for Renault replacements.
Any tips on doing it or JUST DON'T unless you have to !!

The rear bearing has a different part no. to the front, but the only difference is the temp rating of the seal. R25 or Fuego ones will fit and work fine at both ends of the GTA Turbo. Remember though to grease the bearing, and not only rely on the protective grease the bearing comes with, like a friend of mine did. Not overly difficult to change.
