The short version
- The Land Rover wheel bearing chart splits by era: serviceable classics, press-in early moderns, then bolt-on hubs.
- The LR3 and first Range Rover Sport share the 515067 front hub.
- The 2003 to 2009 Range Rover runs the 510082 press-in; the Freelander the 510087.
- Defenders and classic Discoverys repack their tapered sets, as they always have.
Few badges span quite this range: farm trucks with hand-serviceable hubs at one end, air-sprung luxury with pressed bearings at the other, all wearing the same green oval.
Three eras, three jobs
A classic Land Rover wheel bearing services with tapered sets and seals; the 2003 era presses bearings into carriers; the LR3 generation finally bolts hubs on.
Identify your era before buying a single tool.

The classics are maintenance culture
Tapered bearings, seals, preload and grease: the old trucks were designed for field service, and owners repack after every serious wet season.
The procedure lives on the repacking page.
Wading is the duty cycle
These vehicles advertise their wading depth, and owners use it. Water past a seal is the classic Land Rover bearing killer across all three eras, and gray grease on inspection is the truck telling you it swam recently.
Reading grease is on the used grease page, water damage on the water page.
Diagnosing a Land Rover wheel bearing
- Name the era: serviceable, press-in or bolt-on.
- Check the grease first on any classic.
- Weave at speed and place the hum.
- Rock each wheel at twelve and six.
- Ask about wading history on any used example.
The routine is on the checking page.
Common questions
Which Land Rover wheel bearing fits my LR3?
The 515067 front hub, shared with the first Range Rover Sport.
And my 2005 Range Rover?
The 510082 press-in, so plan the carrier work or an on-car kit.
Can I still service a Defender myself?
Absolutely; that is the design’s entire philosophy. Sets and seals remain available.
Do I need a press?
For the 2003 era Range Rover and Freelander fronts, yes. Classics service by hand; LR3-era hubs bolt on.
What about 2010 and newer vehicles?
VIN-matched listings; the model range fragmented too far for one table.
