Hi guys,
Have noticed a rattle under low speed (around 35km/hr) over the last week. Grabbed the front left wheel and gave it a shake. There is a small (mm or two) amount of play. I am guessing loose hub nut or bearing. Is there anything else it may be? I can tighten a wheel hub without much issue but replacing bearings is beyond my tool kit. The car is a 2010 titanium diesel that has done 85,000km |

Not a big job to replace wheel bearing only basic tools needed a socket and ring spanner set and a pair of plyers plus some wheel bearing grease, just undo the calliper bolt and lift up out of the way and remove the hub nut and the disc will come off and tap the bearings out.
just pack the new bearings with the grease and tap them in and put it back together. |

Ah ok. Had a quick google and people were using weird 3 arm things to remove the bearings that kind of scared me off.

Surely the bearing needs to be pushed out with more force than a hammer! and reset with a press?

I should add that there is no grinding/bearing shreading sounds. Just a light knock occasionally and the wheel is very slightly loose. I am leaning towards the hub nut being loose.
