Good morning,
The site offers separate bearings for press fitting, or single-piece bearing hubs.
Can a complete assembly with separate bearings be replaced by a single-piece hub-bearing assembly to avoid press operations?
indeed it is torx 50. thank you. I put a comment directly on the step.
Good morning,
are you sure that to loosen the caliper support it is indeed a 30 torx imprint?
It seems bigger to me. Like 50.
Please clarify this for us.
Thanks for your work anyway.
