its what the hub nut screws onto...so if the thread is worn then you cant get at rear brakes easily nor can you get the hub nut back on...how much they quoted for it?

is that to supply or fit? sounds about right for fitting since they are approx 60-80 to supply. it is something that needs to be done if it is worn so no way around it. hope i helped

I have a 2nd hand one spare and 4 bolts. Fiver if you want it.

If you wanted to change it yourself you would need a Jack, 19mm socket to remove the bottom of the damper, 24mm socket to remove hub nut, pliers to remove split pin. Take off drum then you will need some 'E TX-Star' bits to remove the bolts on the back of the spindle. No idea what size though E18 at a guess. U would need to put a new wheelbearing kit on it as well, that'll be another fiver
