opelmantagsi Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I have done a Manta B, I think they are basically the same Someone one here was selling bearings, have a look at this thread http://forums.mantaclub.org/topic/31898-rear-wheel-bearings-help/ Opel GT Source have them out of the USA http://www.opelgtsource.com/ However I think they get a lot of their parts from Splendid Parts in Germany http://www.splendidparts.de/kaufhaus_2/themes/kategorie/index.php?kategorieid=48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alf Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Hi Jack, There's this one on Ebay at the moment for £4...... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rear-Moprod-Wheel-Bearing-Kit-Opel-Ascona-A-B-1970-80-Manta-A-B-1970-80-/390461608770?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AManta%7CPlat_Gen%3AA&hash=item5ae9535342 I did mine last year, not hard, just remove the halfshaft and take it to your local garage to have the old one removed and the new one pressed on, I think they charged me a tenner? Job done!! Cheers, Alf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
