I am struggling with the rear brakes of my 60000 mile 2014 Panda 1.2 and decided to remove the rear hubs to make removal/installationof the shoes etc easier. However as the hub slid easily off the stub axle, the outer part of the wheel bearing fell out and cannot be reinstalled. When I removed the hub on the other side, the same would have happened had I not held it in place as the hub was withdrawn.
I take it this isn't normal! I haven't seen this happen on YouTube or any mention that the bearing has to be held in place as the hub is withdrawn. Others may wish to bear the possibility in mind before removing the hubs. Two new hubs and bearings ordered from S4P - should be here by Friday!
