Hello,

I'm on vacation right now in Norway (right now in Steinkjer) and my wheel bearing broke. I already ordered a new one but I could need some help changing it. Ist there anybody near Steinkjer or Mo I Rana, here (preferably to the north not south) who could help me tomorrow or in the next 3 days???Or do you know anybody near here who could help me for cheap or good german beer and wine? I would be able to drive to Mo I Rana or further as it is not that bad, yet!

Thanks for your help!!!!

I'll be returning to Steinkjer on friday, but I do not have any experience working on suspesons. I do have tools, a garage jack and jackstands and a private parking lot were we can work (I've don all the work on my sSncro there). You could also have a chat with the weople at Sannan Bil, they are very helpful and willing to give advice eaven if you do not get the work done there. One of the guys also seem to be experienced with caravelles (more than the rest at least). Taigagreen has lots more experience than me so feel free to take his offer instead. Coffe's on me!

Hey,

thank you for your offer to help me. Though, I already called Tage and made an appointment with him and it fits very good in with our plans to travel more north during the next days. I talked to the people at Sannan Bil but they weren't very talkative...They just told me that they couldn't do it before thursday and that it would cost 1200 NOK (without the sparepart..) which seems kind of a lot to me as I consider the working time for changing the wheel bearing to be no more than an hour for a mechanic...
Thanks though!!! I'll take the coffee next time I'm around (and I definatelyy will be)!!!

Ok, glad it works out. I guess you met the wrong guy at Sannan, there are a few less talkative ones there too... And prices are high for mechanics, IIRC Sannan Bil charges 800NOK/hour, looks like the calculated 1,5 hour for the job.

The job is done :) Very nice people !

Litt småproblemer med å få løs en skru, men ellers alt vel. Trivelige folk !
Turen deres blir på ca 5000 km tur/retur. På tur nordover nå, via Rv 17, og opp til Lofoten.
Så om noen ser en hvit camper, slå gjerne av en prat :)
Bilder kommer....
