wheel bearing maintenance and brake pads change
Hi there!

The 40,000 km maintenance includes a wheel bearing maintenance (grease and checking) and change the brake pads in the four wheels

I receive the invoice some days ago (not paid yet until all the clutch problems were cleared)

They are charging me 8 hours of labour for all this work. I found that quite excesive.

Works includes according to the detail
Greasing the bearing
Dismount the wheel hubs
hub maintenance
Change brake pads

Time for each labour were not provided

Any tought about the time to do this work?

Thanks ! Eduardo

I need to replace my wheel bearings on my 06 Jeep Liberty, i have found a site that sells them the cheapest, i wanted to know if it is simple straight forward or if i will require a hub puller? let me know how difficult this is going to be???

Thanks

Oooooowwwwww my eyes! My eyes are burning! Someone typed the "J" word.

Whistle (just teasing jhnharvey! (Or am I?))

2 hours per wheel does seem excessive, but I don't know. Someone will know. Perhaps they are trying to charge you for a full day's labour for the whole service plus the bearings etc?

One hour each wheel. Done it. 57 mm spanner tube (ebay, paddocks, etc). Grease, gasket and torque wrench.

Internal axle seals in case.

Anyway if you have not been wadding you could waint until 80000 km. Mine look just fine. Puma 110" SW
