206 Front Wheel Bearing - DIY?

ralphytoby · 05-20-2011, 05:43 PM

Hi guys,
Can anyone tell me whether it's possible to replace the front wheel bearing on my 2003 206 HDI? I've bought the bearing but I'm now wondering whether they need to be pressed out and then back in again. Any advice would be appreciated.

Never done a 206 but my bets would be you need a press.

press is needed like stevo said, if your ok with working on cars then i would take the hub off the car and go to someone that has a press local guy maybe am sure if you fire a few beer tokens he be glad to push the old out and the new one it

Thanks guys, thought that might be the case. Was all ready to fit it tomorrow but now I'll have a rethink on the strategy. I'll ask around to see who can press it for me. Thanks again, Dave.

Hi you can do them without a press I have done loads. They a bit more tricky but they will hit out and go back in the same way.
