moffs1 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Hi Guys, I have a 2005 Mk6 fiesta zetec (with ABS), I suspected the wheel bearings had gone. Over the weekend I removed the hub from the rear of the car and sure enough the bearings were knackered!! I am trying to find replacement bearings but am struggling. The bearings that are in the hub at the moment are tapered roller bearings, my local motor factor and ford parts are telling me that the part should be a straight roller bearing. Has anyone changed the bearings and know whether they are supposed to be straight or tapered? Straight roller bearing: Tapered roller bearing: Thanks in advance Moffs1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Its a one piece bearing, but sounds from your saying its fallen apart, motor factors will have the right part, its not like the old fashioned 2 piece tappered bearing. circlip behind the abs ring then press out bearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerFlame Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I changed two of my bearings not long ago.. they're tapered & held in with a circlip at one end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
