Default AU Hub & Bearing (Front)

Hey Guys

Can someone please confirm for me that the front hub & bearing assembly on the AU's is one unit (meaning the bearing itself can't be changed) or is that wrong?

If I'm right, is it as simple as off with the old and on with the new, as I'm assuming it would be? Anything I need to know, any tricks, special tools?

Thanks
Krissy.

fully sealed unit.

I am still trying to find the write-up on it ... i am sure GK wrote it. Might have been Ronwest though.

Can get them cheap $80 each side) from www.ozeparts.com.au as well if you need to find them.

Need to get the centre bolt off though ... it's a large size from memory ... so may need to get correct size tooling from a parts store.

I'll try and dig around as I know someone else was asking in the Servicing your AU section as well.

Thank you Ronwest
Thanks for the link, it's just the way i imagined it would be. : Typical that the front hub nut is 36mm and the rear (IRS) hub nut is 35mm. Looks like it's another $42 for another socket. :

I think the 35mm will work. Pretty sure that's what I used. It's a snug fit.

It's actually 35mm as well. I was a little out in my calculation from imp to metric.

I asked for it to be changed in the "how to" but hasn't happened as yet.

35mm or 36mm will do the job.

I'm going to attempt to do mine myself and the rotors (with Rspec's supervision ofcourse as I wouldn't want to make any mistakes) so we'll see how it goes. I was going to pay someone to do it but what for?! The more I do myself, the more I learn.
