right i own the nova van that kitt1972 used to own, its in desperate need for a new wheel bearing, front passenger side!

the problem is i dont know which bearing i need, had a look in the build thread and cant see what hubs he used. so any help on identifying them would be greatly appreciated!!

thanks

Bit more info. Is the car XE'd? If so they might be astra hubs machined down. Therefore Nova wheel bearings can still be used (i have this setup on mine)

Yeah straight swap.

Only two ways to run big block outers is to either machine a 2.0 hub and run nova bearings, or machine the hub carrier to take 2.0 bearings. The Former is far easier, so I would be 99% sure its on nova bearings.
