rear wheel bearing

[generalbaxter]

got to change the bearing, its making a high pitch 'squeek'

2001 hdi abs

does anyone know which one i need and what size puller ?

quick edit, be fore i order parts

window down, sterio off, travel along, you can here a short sharp squeek when even you put your foot on the throttle or take it off, for a matter of a few seconds
and travel for about 20miles at 70ish, the squeek will turn into a squeel for about 2mins then go and come back every so offen

i know my DMF is fubard, and getting changed for a solid fly converion this weekend, should i wait and see if the noise goes, when the duel mass is gone , as theres no play what so ever in any bearing ?

A wheel bearing noise is usually a humming noise or low pitched rumble.

I would jack up each rear wheel (safely) and try to spin the wheels and listen for any noise.

A high pitched squeak or squeal is more likely to be a brake sticking or worn out brake pad, possibly even the springs on the pads catching the disc or worn out handbrake shoes.
The brake pads could be siezing up in their slots or the sliders sticking.

To replace the bearing you need to replace the whole hub, you shouldn't need a puller, but I'm not convinced you have a wheel bearing fault.

ill take the rears off this weekend and check the brakes over

fixed this,

found out the caliper sliding rods siezed solid, stripped them down, put the new pads in, and coper sliped the sliders, good as new
