Slow speed rubbing noise - similar to disc but not

[Kev0607]

I think its a wheel bearing.

There may be no play or normal whirring sounds, but it could still be squeaky/noisy, but not bad enough to make a constant whine.

Presumably I will need to remove disc and calipers again to gain proper access.

Many Thanks

You might get away with just undoing the driveshaft bolt and the turning the steering to full lock but access would be tight.

Another option is to also undo the lower ball joint and pull the control arm down, this will let the whole hub assembly pull forward and the driveshaft slide out. No need to do anything with the brakes.

If in doubt YouTube has a few videos showing driveshaft replacement that demonstrate what I'm on about.
