and the nova hubs are standard on all models... do not ask a scrap man for a gte one, or he will charge gte tax on it......what is up with the old one? as they hardly go wrong.. you can get new wheel bearings cheaply, and if a motor factor says there are 2 sorts, always get the early one.

as for an AFM, they turn up on ebay all the time.

cool cheers for your feedback right well first problem i had was the caliper sliders seized so i thort a simple repair but oh no one of the bolts to remove caliper appeared to be very tight me being me i happened to round off the recess hex bolt so now i have a bit of a situation so i thort the only thing i can do next would be to get a second hand hub as stated above so wish me luck please coz i am determind to do this no matter how much its pissin me off but thats excellent to no that those hubs are all the same on all models thanks again

if you undo the 2 halves of the caliper, you will be able to knock the inner side off over the slider. then you can attack it with a grinder or hacksaw. the bolt itself is standard on most vauxhalls of that age, so if you can't save it.a new one will be easy to get, and you can get slider kits from most motor factors.
