JesseRaymond 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2012 The bmWorkshop in Grey lynn has recently told me i need to replace the front left hub on my 1986 e30 because my wheel bearings are screwed. They quoted me $350. I instantly thought there must have been a cheaper way and was thinking i could get a new hub of a member off here or i could go to the wreckers and than install it myself. 1) What are the steps required to install it ? , would it be that difficult? 2) Does anyone have a hub for the front left of my 1986 318 e30.

dubman 39 Report post Posted September 27, 2012 Steps: 1. Buy hub from forum sponsors (EuroItalia or NZAD) 2. Go to BM Workshop, or Botany Motorworks, and ask them to change hub for you When i got a bearing done by BM Workshop, ended up being 1.5 hrs labour (which included 30 mins roadtesting) and I'm sure our sponsors will offer cheaper parts compared to them. Feel free to try it yourself, but do the maths 1st before even taking things off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted September 27, 2012 $350 is a very fair commercial price to do this. If you cock it up, it will cost you alot more Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huff3r 347 Report post Posted September 27, 2012 They are $110ish on Trademe brand new from Mill-And. And last time I got one fitted it was about $50-60 in labour (45 mins I think). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
