Simple answer is no - in your circumstances you would be better off getting exchange units. The problem is removing the drive flange from the taper....... it's not really a DIY job as the flange can become distorted if the wrong force is applied......
I do appreciate your position as far as getting spares is concerned over there, but unless you are really sure of what you are doing and have the right kit, you could ruin it easily.........
You didn't say if it was front or rear you wanted to service.
Russ is talking about the rears ,if its your fronts your on about.you can take up play by tightening the castle nut(check Rom)to the front hub,you can also remove the hub and grease them.Changing them is straight forward as they are a pair of tapered bearings(and they're cheap).
Absolutely right - I was making an assumption about the rears being referred to as those are the ones that give most people grief - as Steve says the front ones are a relatively easy change as long as you drift the outer races in square, and adjustment is a doddle.........
TBH, they prob dont need replacing but as they have not been checked I have had the car and probably not since the previous owner had the car i thought maybe some regular maintainance would be in order.
the reason I was targeting the rear ones in thepost is I have a diff whine and Iread somewhere that this can sometimes be mistaken for problems with worn bearings.
The whine I hear is coming form the back but since I have not heard a read Diff whine I was thinkingwhy not try the bearing if easy. They get a service andwho knows, it could also solve the backend whine.
