I never appreciated the simplicity and ruggedness of this component till now.
Not that is until I tried replacing pressed in front wheel bearings on my Suzuki. Like everything else on the Suzuki they are tiny compared to the brick*** house components of a Panda/Y10.
That's no joke. Driveshafts like cocktail sticks, oil filter like a thimble, weeny little struts and bearings that need to be pressed in either with a hydraulic press or hammered in with a drift in full medieval mode.
By comparison the wheel bearings of a Panda/Y10 just bolt in. Its so much easier it makes you want to cry. And the rears never seem to wear out which is exactly what the rear Suzuki bearings have now done as well.
