Does anyone know if the front wheel bearings on a 98 1.4cl are pressed into the hub or not. would really appreciate any help or info because i really need to get this sorted.

Thanks

Hi hughesy,

Yes - cos I'm in the middle of trying to get mine back on the road after fitting new bearings.

The old bearing races are pressed out, and new ones are pressed in.

Then, if you're refitting the original hubs, there should be a good interference fit on the inner race.

Mine were worn out, and one actually rattled in the new bearing, so I ordered new hubs, which don't fit, etc. (see above)

Here's that other link from a French site about how to DIY your own bearing change :
