Hub Replacement on MY01 1.4 8v

Post by Dunk »

Morning all

First post, and it's a not a good un I'm afraid.

My better half's Polo is a MY01 1.4 8v (6N?? ) - recently in the main dealers for it's annual service.

Returned from dealers with advisory on the front brakes.

Not wanting to cough up hundreds for the dealers to do something I can do in my sleep decided to do them myself yesterday.

Only to discover the dealers have gunned the wheel bolts on, and not torqued them. Some were loose :shock: , some were excessively tight :evil: and....

One was crossed :roll:

Result?

One knacked thread that won't be tightened properly.

I've tried cleaning the thread, used different bolts - no avail.

So, question;

How easy is the hub to replace on these things?

When I had the disc off, I noted that there were three locating screws on the hub behind the disc. Is it a case of remove hub nut, remove locating screws and replace?

Thanks in advance.
