Expert Rear Wheel Bearing Repairs for Citroën, Peugeot, Toyota & Vauxhall Vans
If you own a Citroën Dispatch, Peugeot Expert, Toyota Proace, or Vauxhall Vivaro, replacing rear wheel bearings isn't as straightforward as with most cars and vans. That’s where Brenwood’s specialist rear wheel bearing replacement service comes in.
Unlike standard vehicles where the wheel bearing is removed with the hub assembly, many newer vans – particularly those from 2016 onwards – are built with rear wheel bearings attached directly to the axle, making in-situ removal and fitting essential. At Brenwood, we have invested in the specialist tools and training required to complete this complex task safely, correctly, and without damaging the new bearing.
Vans That Require Specialist Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement
We offer expert rear wheel bearing replacements for the following models:
-
Citroën Dispatch / Jumpy / SpaceTourer (from 2016 onwards)
-
Peugeot Expert / Traveller (from 2016 onwards)
-
Toyota Proace / Proace Verso (from 2016 onwards)
-
Vauxhall / Opel Vivaro (from 2019 onwards)
These vehicles feature a design where the wheel bearing is pressed directly onto the axle shaft, meaning it must be replaced on the vehicle using specialist equipment to avoid damage.
Why Specialist Tools Matter
Trying to remove or replace a wheel bearing on these vans without the correct tools can result in:
-
Damage to the new bearing during fitting
-
Rumbling or grinding noises shortly after installation
-
Premature bearing failure
-
Illuminated ABS warning lights
-
In worst-case scenarios, an unsafe vehicle on the road
At Brenwood, we use manufacturer-approved tools specifically designed for this type of rear wheel bearing replacement. Our technicians are trained in the correct method, ensuring the bearing is pressed in with precision, avoiding side loads or damage to sensitive components.
