Rear Hub Bearings

[CHUNKY CHIP]

I have a is 200 with rear brake backplates corroded

Question do the hub bearings come off the rear stub unit as a single item allowing me to change the backplates by the simple method of undo replace and fit new plates refit shoes discs etc.

Or do the bearings fall apart and need new fitted?

Thanks chunky

The bearings are press fixed into the hub carrier with the oil seal at the rear and a circlip on the outer face so once you have removed the split pin and castelated nut it should all come to pieces to allow access to the backplates without disturbing the bearing.

Sorry cannot post diagram due to copyright but the back plates are as follows from Lexus.

Plate Sub Assy Parking Brake RH ( Driver's side) Part no. 46503-30090

Plate Sub Assy Parking Brake LH ( Pass Side) Part no. 46504-30090.

Are you sitting comfortably, now the price!

Around £200.00 EACH from Lexus!

If I were you I would invest £30.00 in becoming a Gold LOC member and find a dealer offering Gold discount on parts, even with 10% you'll be a tenner up!

cheers for that just got off the floor

and have enough strength to reply £200 each for back plates :shutit:

i get min 10% anyway off them but i may just ask whats the best they do or just buy a pair of complete hubs i have seen £45.00 each

They are still on car but then again whats the quality of the backplates maybe be in same postion as now they maybe corroded also

plan c then i think

thats plan C

thanks again steve much appreciated regards to info

PS what does gold membership get me?

As above i get trade 10% std depends who i see can get 10% per item on occasions which i do like :D
