FAG WheelSets released
An FAG bearing kit for the Mini Countryman and Mini Paceman, manufactured as OE by Schaeffler, is now available to the UK and Irish aftermarket.
Schaeffler said kit No.713 6497 70 covers the rear axle for all-wheel drive versions of the Countryman and Paceman produced by Mini from August 2010.
The kit includes a third-generation hub bearing with multi-pole encoder for ABS, ASR and ESP systems, plus the centring nut for fastening the unit to the drive shaft. Also included are stretch bolts for fixing the unit to the steering knuckle and a protection ring for the encoder.
Matthew Selby, sales and marketing director at Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket UK, said FAG WheelSets always include all the components necessary to make a replacement in the garage as simple, safe and efficient as possible.”
