Overland / Off-Road Essential maintenance. Land Rover Defender wheel bearing change out.

If you want to overland the world in your own vehicle you do not need to be a qualified mechanic. In saying that it is a good idea to know how to service and inspect your vehicle along with learning how to perform a few routine repair or maintenance operations.

In this video we find a rear wheel bearing in need of replacement. It was a first time for us to attempt this job. We carry spare wheel bearings as part of our spares kit but up until now have never had to use them. After seventy thousand tough km around the world we think that is not bad.

This video is a basic follow along on how to change a Land Rover Defender wheel bearing, we hope you enjoy and maybe learn a thing or two. I know I did.

Please note I am not a qualified mechanic if you are unsure or not confident to perform your own vehicle maintenance please seek professional assistance.

Join us as we travel the world overland, exploring the cultures and traditions of all the countries we visit.
In our Land Rover Defender camper which is our full time home we will take you rock climbing, hiking and exploring across all the continents on this planet.
