Hey guys,
I ordered a rear wheel bearing for my JTD ELX multi from the ebay link below. The ad clearly states ALL models with ABS. But my multi has drums on the back (with abs), but the part that has arrived looks like it has 4 threaded holes for wheel studs. Would anyone know if this is the right part for my car before I strip it all down and realise it's not the right one ?

And dont forget that some of the magnetic abs rings have a cover over them to protect them during transit, this should be removed before installing.
Iam still driving with one installed on mine .

thanks guys, i'm assuming then that the rear shoe setup has to be totally dissembled to replace the bearing ?

With drum brakes, see my old post:

The torque is 280 Nm for the nut nr.1 in first picture.

Now that's a handy link! Excellent, cheers Joipalli

Oops Just one more question.

The bearing goes quiet when I go round a right hand bend, does this mean it will be the right hand bearing thats knackered?

Yes that could be right !
You take much of the load of the right hand bearing when turning right, so the noise is less noticeable.

Don't throw away the old one, if it turns out to be the left side to be the faulty one.

thanks again

No.

It should be possible to change the hub without disassembling the brakes but if you have to, just be careful you don't damage any adjacent items. Before fitting the new hub make sure the stub axle it clean free from burrs and a thin smear of oil or grease will help it go on. It is very near an interference fit!

A huge thank you folks, bearing done and I can no hear myself think again

Old hub was a pig to get off until I applied a little lateral thinking and made a 'special tool' of sorts to get it off. Damn thing was off in 2 seconds, just wish I had thought of it during the hour i spent trying to prize the damn thing off! ( see pic below) .

On teh downside whilst the hub was off I noticed a knick in the handbrake cable outer sleeve and the shoes are about shot!

I reckon you should of checked the price at your local motor factors before ebay, mine was only £40 over the counter, ebay is great for hard to find things though.
Very easy job!

And therein lies the problem. I don't have a local anything! Nearest corner shop 3 miles away, nearest supermarket 25 miles away, nearest motor factor is an hour round trip. I'd rather pay the extra and have it delivered
