I had a rear one go on my old Type R when I had it. Got the wheel bearing itself from Roger Clark - Roger Clark Motorsport - Home, wasn't that expensive from what I remember although was about 6 years ago. I think it was around £50-£60 for the parts??

Then got a local place to fit it as I believe you need a press of some sort to get it in?

One of mine only lasted 6-1/2 years !

You have to expect some problems as your car gets older, mine needs a new clutch now, but that's got more to do with the 300+ bhp it can't manage any more.....
