Octavia wheel bearing

[PeteG]

Right. In its usual display of perfect comic timing, my vRS has chosen the fortnight I need it to commute in, to play silly buggers again. This time it's the wheel bearing...

So. I have no issues getting the car in pieces, it's just removing and replacing the bearing itself that I've not done for many, many years. AIUI, I need some sort of bearing removal + replacement tool.

Anyone on here fancy giving me a hand, in exchange for copious amounts of tea, beer, bacon sandwiches, chocolate, massages... OK maybe not massages.

Cheers all,
Pete

You'll probably need a press to push it out, either that or push it out with the new bearing. Not had any experience of them so I may be wrong.

Is it front or rear?

Front - I assume it's the same as the Mk4 Golf, as seen here -
