Hi,
my 320 has just started that characteristic clicking noise at low speed, suggesting a rear wheel bearing is on the way out.
How difficult it to replace these?
any tips on the job would be appreciated.
cheers

Re: Rear wheel bearing
How easily does the splined hub flange come off?, will a 3 leg puller do this in situ, or is it necessary to use a press?

Re: Rear wheel bearing
Anyone experienced here? Not me I'm afraid, not with rear wheel bearings.

Re: Rear wheel bearing
No need to use press. 320/6 have same bearings as 323i,so make sure buy right ones.
Make sure that there is 0,1 mm (at least) bearing play otherwise bearing wears fast.
