We bought new Brake pads, shoes and front hubs.
I can do the brakes no sweat. Fronts are like a big version of my bike brakes. But I'm not overly confident on the hubs. Got the gist of what to do but is there anyone on here who has done it before or knows of a website with step by step instructions?

Hubs? The whole wheel bearing carrier assembly?

You may need an out of ordinary sized socket or Allen key to remove the drive shafts and probably a hydraulic press to remove and replace the wheel bearings.

Yeah its the whole hub assembly. Can't buy just bearings supposedly. Although hub assembly makes life easier really.

It's a Mk1 55 plate.

And Fortunateson I got one of those on order. Just wanted to see what to do in advance. Gotta wait a week for book to arrive.
