At the motor factors they said there is 64mm and 66mm.

Without taking the hub of and measuring existing bearing, is there a way to tell?

Motor factors told me there was a change over on about a 'G' plate?

They didn't exactly state that though. Are you doing them yourself?

66m is the corsa bearing all novas are 64mm unless using corsa hubs

I dont know why motor factors told me that then. I ended up having to take my wheel bearing down to them to match it up.

Don't need a press either, just use the old one to hammer it in........:thumb:

Agreed! I've never used a press to do a wheel bearing, Socket/wood, vice and a big hammer.
