Rear wheel bearing fitment

[marty]

A rear wheel bearing has just gone in my glanza, my question is will bearings from the UK ep91 fit? I don't think they will but better off checking as they would be handier to get on short notice. Have tightened it right up but there's still alot of play. Cheers

i would very much doubt it as uk ep91 is a drum and glanza is a disc at the back!

 

[marty]

Aye haven't had to deal with the bearings before. cheers

Part numbers match on Toyodiy, check it out on Camskill.

Random. It's good if they are the same though.

Thanks chaps, never realised that myself - every day is a school day!

Happy days, good to know! I've ordered a set for the Glanza anyways and they should be here tomorrow. What's it like to change yourself? Are the bearings handy enough beat in (gently) with a socket and a hammer? The garage up the road is closed tomorrow and I'd be afraid to drive her any wild distance...there is a LOT of play in it.

just dont over tighten the center bolt or you'll be replacing the bearing in no time.

Appreciate it, cheers! Am I right in saying it should just be hand tight, maybe a wee crack with the rachet? I've seen a tool for measuring the preload that looks a bit like a spring balance but I seem to have misplaced mine :haha:

 

[Gryzor]

do the bolt up then about a quater turn back. make sure the wheel goes round :haha:

 

[weeJohn]

Turn the wheel and tighten it until it meets resistance, then back it off a little as Gryzor says, as long as there is no movement from it being too loose, its right.

Never even got that far lads, had everything off...calipers, hub nut, you name it and then when it came time to getting the disc itself off it wouldn't budge (no matter how much i cursed and hit it with a hammer) so off to the garage on Monday. Haven't got any shelter to work on her and damned if I'm getting another soaking tomorrow when I'm hungover. Cheers anyway, I'll know for next time!
