Just an update on this... I gave it a bash - but no success. The corrosion on the brake calliper carrier bolts was enough to stop the job. I parked the car up and got my mechanic mate to sort it over the weekend. He came, got the car and went off and fixed it. He ended up resorting to heat and even had to cut one of the brake calliper carrier bolts out. Just a note to self that even though this looks like a pretty simple job.... 12 years and 120,000 miles of road salt and whatever else on parts like this which are close to the road can make a simple job a bit more complex!

I have an email saying it’s been sent to evri. Hopefully get it soon. yea, will just use WD-40, but might need a bit persuasion, will give myself a full day to do the job so no need to rush etc. would like it done before going back to work post festive holidays! Will keep the thread upto date with progress.

Awesome, thanks - great video. I’ve ordered an SKF bearing and flange kit from AUTODOC. First time using their services but believe it’s a quality part. Hopefully won’t be hit with any of the dispatch issues they can sometimes have. I also have an option of using euro car parts for an optimal setup if required. need the flange and bearing already pressed as don’t have the extraction or pressing tools- but more expensive, but far easier for me. thanks for the info though, much appreciated.

As title, does anyone have any idea of the torques required on the bolts to replace the front wheel bearing please? I am replacing the flange and bearing as a ‘kit’. Unsure where to find the correct settings.
