How much for VW to change a wheel bearing

[Grumpy Mike]

Van just been in for brakes and ANOTHER spring at a trusted independent. He says it is a special tool for removing the rear wheel bearing. Its not gone but the slight noise annoys me. How much do VW generally charge to change one? Many thanks.

The tool is not expensive - the link is for a cheap one - find another indy or buy the tool for your mechanic and sell it afterwards.

Thanks Chipbutty, much appreciated. Probably find an independent as I have time. Its just lightly whining...

I used to work in a Austin/Morris garage many, many years ago. We used to charge a couple of bob for wheel bearings. Mind you we never actualy replaced the bearings, only re-pack with fresh grease. Hope this helps.
