Both times ive done my blob sti ones ive had to but the press in bearing kit, make sure you get the right size bearing though as theyre 2 sizes, iirc its the bigger one for the sti and i think it was 76mm

can you not buy the whole hub if you want an easier way of changing things , i've only done one scooby bearing and just did the bearing not the hub and it was not too bad to do

Iirc they dont come as a hub as say like the vauxhalls do, youd have to change the actual hub itself and tbh even then i doubt they come with bearing assembly and driveflange fitted, which means youd still have to push a bearing in.

The biggest hassle is disconnecting the inboard brake shoe assembly to remove the hub and then refit it all once you put it bk together, the long bolt at the back that goes through both arms and the hub can be a pain too, id try and clean it up as much as possible from the back before you try taking it out,

If it was only the bearing that was noisy then why have you bought the lot, u can reuse your existing drive flange and hub and the bearings about £60.
Dont forget to fit the abs tone ring aswell before you put the flange in.

It's our only car so my girlfriend needs it for work and I was told the bearing can damage the flange or hub , the wheel does seem to have a lot of movement
