Epoxy resin! Little blob might do it if you're careful |

Dammit, those Laguna wheels have too small bolt holes. I guess i have to try drilling them... |

The Laguna wheel bolt hole diameter was 13mm, Safrane bolts were 14mm so when i found out the cone was the same i just drilled the holes to 15mm. Still the center hole diameter matches Safrane hub and along with the cones they center the wheel so i feel it isn't that big a deal :) Here it is, nice and tidy with the Laguna wheels and with a freshly passed MOT :) |

I have those too, but in such a big car the 15" wheels look quite small in modern standards. And i don't even like overly big wheels... |

Just a few weeks after my latest ABS mishap my Safrane started to warn about the ABS system again last thursday. Yesterday i finally checked it out with my CLIP and there was some "computer" fault in the ABS. I was able to erase it and seems like it disappeared for good. Maybe just disconnecting the battery would've helped, maybe not... I also got the other front wheel bearing yesterday so there's one more chance for messing up the ABS again...  By the way i was shocked to see the wheel bearing, it's huge. And with big size usually comes big need for force to get it out... the last one needed 15t of pressure to get it out :D Not actually a home garage job... which i first tried with a DIY press made out of a 2,5t bottle jack That usually does the trick with ordinary car bearings, at least with a little persuasion with a sledgehammer...
