Great video thank you, I've an a5 todo tomorrow 😀

[@blood_upon_the_rose]

Only problem is I'm now drinking whiskey..so it might be Sunday 😂😂😂

[@greasystrangler6250]

Thank you for showing people you don't have to disassemble the entire steering knuckle and break that pinch bolt to do this job. Watched the video this morning, changed my hub, tie rod end, and brakes on that one side (going to do the other tomorrow, just brakes) in 2hrs. Blown away at how easy this was. No hoist.

[@diydaly]

nice one! thanks for the comments 😃 much appreciated

[@MrJetu]

Thanks for the video, really helped me with my own bearing replacement!

[@diydaly]

Glad it helped👍👍

[@stephenlangley6101]

Haynes says those four 12mm spline bolts should be 80nm plus 90 degrees. Think I got 45 degrees on one of them before it started to round. 80nm was hard enough. Hopefully your "good nip" is enough that my wheel doesn't come off. Sure it'll be fine with that axle bolt holding everything together.

[@garywright5939]

Just found your channel lookin forward to more vids

[@diydaly]

Thanks for the visit gary! Glad you like it.. I try to explain everything as detailed as possible and show real life situations with any common issues (ie dealing with bolts that snap etc) I’m uploading 1-2 videos a week so plenty more to follow 👍

[@quattroesp]

i like how the caliper is hanging :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

[@diydaly]

Thanks for the comment 👌👍

[@eoinoreilly5452]

Great video, thanks. Trying to figure out on my own a4 if bearings are gone. Slight movement (1-2mm) when I “shake” wheel L-R. No bearing noise when spinning. Do you think this Is this just play or start of wear? Also would a 6tonne press be “big” enough to push the bearings into the hub? Thanks.

[@diydaly]

Yeah that’s play in the bearing , it should be ok to press the new bearing on

[@Skybert9-5B235EB]

Omg dont let break caliper hang on the hose please!! I hate when i see mechanic do that grrrrr :P whit out that good job :)

[@diydaly]

Lol sorry you didn’t like that bit! Thanks for the comment

[@discodav78]

I need to replace the rear right abs ring on my a4 b6 avant 1.9tdi. Am I correct in saying that these come already on the full wheel bearing hub kit?

[@diydaly]

yes I believe they have a magnetic ring on the back of the bearing mate

[@discodav78]

@@diydaly ok mate, thanks for your quick reply 👍

[@diydaly]

👌👍

[@auxmike718]

Why didn’t you buy a complete hub instead of reusing the inside? So much extra work, mate!

[@diydaly]

Thanks for the comment , yeah you can but the decent quality ones are a fair bit extra and we have a decent press so not hard to swop over 👍

[@Teddygti]

Hi what size tool bit do I need to undo the bolts for the bearing. Thanks

[@diydaly]

will try find out mate

[@Teddygti]

Thanks mate

[@Teddygti]

@@diydaly did you find what tool bit I need to undo the bearing bolts. Thanks luke

[@diydaly]

pretty sure it’s a 10 mate , think I’ve left a link to a set in the description , I’ve not had another one in to check tbh , I’m doing one on a b8 next week .. it should be the same size

[@Slipperyducker]

Do you know the torque setting for the six nuts at the other end of the CV drive shaft for the A4 B7 08 Cab

[@diydaly]

Just had a good scan through autodata but can’t find the torque settings, you are supposed to renew all 6 bolts and the skims though 👌👍

[@Slipperyducker]

@@diydaly I’ve got a whole new CV only got the big bolt at tire end but not the six for other end. When you say skims what is that?

[@diydaly]

Sorry I noticed predictive text changed it! It was meant to say shims.. there’s 6 bolts & 3 shims that should officially be replaced.. I’ve done them plenty of times in the past without replacing them tbf though

[@Slipperyducker]

@@diydaly oh I did wonder 😆 I’ve got a euro car parts near me hopefully if I need them they have them

[@diydaly]

@@Slipperyducker haha I’m not sure if they do tbh , I’ve had to order them from TPS In the past.. It’s worth checking though 👌👍

[@andrewg2322]

Cant really slip the cv alxe or prop shaft whatever you boys call them that goes into the hub far enough back to get a socket in there good. Almost ready to angle grind off the bolts and whack in my nee hub and bearing. Anyone else have this issue?

[@diydaly]

There not usually bad , is the shaft siezed in the hub?

[@andrewg2322]

@@diydaly No there not siezed in i took out the axle bolt and was able to push the axle out with a screw driver some. I noticed your acle seemed to pivot more at the tire side cv boot. Mine doesnt have much play but it feels like its on the spline still. I had this apart for days and was struggling to get a triple square drive in there at the right angle, and no room for a ratchet. Guess time to take off the knuckle pinch bolt gods wish me luck

[@diydaly]

@@andrewg2322 hmm bit hard to say with out seeing it but if you cant access it sounds like you’ll have to.. them top pinch bolts can be abit of a nightmare🙈.. I find now the best way is to undo the nut .. try get it moving .. if it doesn’t budge I put enough pressure on the bolt head till it snaps off .. then wind the nut on (thus pulls the rest of the stud through) sometimes I also need to use an air chisel .. to try push it through

[@Labrat457]

Turn the steering a bit to get the angle you need

[@ashtonsymm4180]

The multitooth bolts at the rear of mine are sized and wont move. Heat, fluid everything right they wont budge and they're just slipping out nearly rounded them. Really bad designed fixing the replacement come with 6 tooth torx bolts much more robust.

[@diydaly]

Yeah they can be tricky if you dont get a good purchase!! bloody pain arnt they

[@ashtonsymm4180]

@@diydaly they were a nightmare, did round one but realised they're only threaded into the bearing so easy to grind and drill out. Thanks for the video it was really helpful.

[@diydaly]

@@ashtonsymm4180 nice one , glad it helped 👍

[@turbowank16v]

This is the way to do it.fuck the autodoc way.and if you dont mind spending extra buy the bearing with the flange.👍

[@diydaly]

👍👍 nice one, thanks for the comment
