PEC Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Looking to have replacement split pins for front wheel bearings but not sure of the size before tackling the job. I read somewhere it was 3/16 X2 "Is this correct? My car is a 2001 S3. Thank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanRo Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 When I did mine, I used these:https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5mm-3-16-A2-Stainless-Steel-Split-Pins-Clevis-Cotter-Pin-DIN-94-20-100mm-/232192105017?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Note that I have the later bearing assembly with the larger castellated nut and no dust cover to remove as my car is 2010 - see pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john milner Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I bought a small variety pack from Halfords and when I need a pin just use the biggest diameter that fits the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hardcastle Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Provided the size is somewhere close, once the leg is bent, if the pin can't come out and it prevents the nut moving, job done. Don't over think it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
