    Default MY10 front wheel bearing replacement

    Hello all

    I currently have all the symptoms of my F/O/S wheel bearing being knackered. Looking on the web there doesn’t seem to be a single write up on the MKII XC70, only for the model before?!

    Due to it being that grey area between being Christmas and new year I’m struggling to get it repaired in time for a work trip up to north Scotland. The question is, is it the same/similar procedure for my XC70’s year, or has it become more complicated and more of an indy job?

    I’m no mechanic but feel quite confident if its similar to the previous technique!

    All replies appreciated.

    Cheers

    Earlier cars use a bolt in hub and bearing assembly, 2008 and up use a press in bearing. Remove steering knuckle from car to be able to press bearing out and in.

    Whats even more screwed is that the new bearing comes with a new hub already pressed in. This requires specialized tooling to press it in.

    They really went backwards on the newer design.
