Bit of a head's up if anyone is interested.

Old vs new

Glad I did it, the inner hub seal appeared to have let go and the inner bearing wasn't great.
Need help bleeding the brakes though, the 'One man brake bleed kit' was useless.
Big order from GAP, coming up soon, I hope.
(PS, Dom, the pads taken off the car are made by a company called Textar?)
Nice work Ryan! amazing what jobs become easy after you have a torque wrench handy!
I can remember working on my first car, a 74 beetle and using a big bit of pipe attached over the end of a socket wrench to undo the rear wheel bearings.
I would have hit the calipers with some engine enamel as well. Gun Metal or something would look sweet and finish it off.
Hey Ryan,
Thanks for the feedback - AFAIK, Textar are a German OEM brand, I know they do pads for BMWs and Mercs as well - do they create a lot of dust? My wheels get very dirty with brake dust over the course of a typical week.
Sorry, haven't had a chance to check the ignition lock housing, yet, but will get onto it sometime this coming weekend, I hope.
Good job as always, mate!
