Stupid Hubs
Stupid me!!
I learnt that when replacing baerings - you need to do the hubs too. Even though they were a perfect fit and fitted by an engineer. They both failed within months of eachother. Luckily I got the baerings replace but stung because the motor factor I got them from said they didnt do 5 stud hubs so I had to pay £115 from vauxhall!!!
By the time the second failed as if by miricle one of them actually bothered to look it up on the system and found one for £35.00 Not bad hey!! SO anyone want to do a five stud conversion - get new hubs It's much easier in the long run!

i was wanting to change the 4 stud hubs on my old calibra onto my new 5 stud callibra. |Fronts didnt see a problem as it was just a case of changing the suspension legs over. But the rear seems a bigger job.
Me and me m8s think that there'd be to many bits that would need replaving like springs for the handbrake, bolts for the rollbar.
Has anyone every done this and how hard was it?
