Wheel bearing and chips

Hi
What size socket will i need to change the rear wheel bearing?? need to do it tonight and may have to pick some tools up on the way home.

Also, is a BBR starchip any good?? I am always a bit unsure about these things but there is one on ebay at the moment.

Nope. its bigger than that, back in a min, I'll nip outside and check.

Ok, I'm back. I think its 26 as my 24 won't go on and my 27 won't go in the hole. I would try my 26 but as its missing it must be the one in the shed that I used to change mine last friday.

Cheers

I had mine superchipped, similar thing. Felt quicker and all the flatspots were gone afterwards.

Cheers for the info but...........

the one i got was a 30mm. Ordered the bearing from Fiat and they supplied it with a nut and washer, wouldnt have had a problem with that but the nut was £3.50 and the washer was £5.20. Took them so I could call at halfords and get the right socket. Will take them back monday. Bearing was £49, dear but I will keep the car genuine fiat for aslong as possible as it is virtually new compared to my usual cars.
Easy to swap, got it done before the football started!
