Just purchased a nova, 250 mile away and it has a noisy wheel bearing.
Rather than risk it i was wondering how easy they are to change,
are they pressed bearings or roll ones ?

Thanks

lol i don't have lots of things, which i need

i needed the press to do bearings on my other car, and when i got the shafts for the 2 litre conversion, the hubs came with them as they were chris ashley

Will even throw in a driveshaft nut incase you have to grind the other off lol
