Hamburg-based manufacturing company MEYLE has introduced new wheel bearing repair kits which can save workshops valuable time. The wheel bearing and wheel hub are pre-assembled in the MEYLE-ORIGINAL wheel bearing repair kit, thus eliminating the need to remove and insert the wheel hub before installation. This solution covers a global fleet of more than three million vehicles, including Audi, Ford, Mercedes-Benz and VW models.

The new pre-assembled MEYLE-ORIGINAL wheel bearing repair kit provides workshop employees with all the necessary parts as a complete set, with the wheel hub and wheel bearing pre-pressed for faster installation and eliminating the need for the press.

MEYLE says when removing the wheel hub, parts of the wheel bearing can get stuck on the hub or the hub may be damaged. The sensitive ABS sensor ring (if present) can also be damaged when reinserted. Using MEYLE’s pre-pressed repair kit also ensures that all tolerances such as concentricity and run-out fit perfectly, as the components are optimally matched. Ordering and storing the MEYLE kit is also a easier as there is no need to lots of individual components. MEYLE estimates that repair times at the workshop can also be reduced by as much as 25%.

The MEYLE-ORIGINAL wheel bearing repair kit is now available under the MEYLE parts numbers 014 753 0003, 100 653 0033, 100 653 0034 and 100 653 003. An expansion of the portfolio with further references is planned.

MEYLE parts are available from stockist nationwide and are distributed in Ireland by Strongline Autoparts. For more information call 01-462-4631.
