What difficulties did you come across when replacing this car part?

[@MrMedicAdnan]

autodoc.co.uk removing the wheel hub from the wheel bearing, I used the bearing puller with the screw and it pushed the axle in but did not seperate the hub from bearing. Now I think I might have damaged either the axle or the diff... something had to give somewhere 2 inches... thoughts?

[@MrMedicAdnan]

BTW I stopped after realizing that the hub is not comin off. Also the axle rod did not push out after I removed the puller...

[@Robert.K]

Adnan Medic You should've used a slide hammer bearing puller, like in the video clip. The screw in type won't work as you found out, because the axle is floating.

[@sanjinred]

Why do you press it back on the hub by the inner race? Shouldnt you use a plate to cover both inner and outer race of the bearing?

[@ws5939]

My tire wouldn't move forward enough for me to get the shaft out. You lift yours up fairly easily it seems (10:16) but mine would not move away from the vehicle at all.

[@vincephan344]

Just did this today, you DO NOT need to remove the axle, or drop any control arm, simply remove the axle nut, tap the axle shaft back a little, and you will have access to the 4 torx bolts, stick a wobbly on there with an extension and zap them out. That part shouldn't take more than 15 minutes, pressing them in and out is another story if you don't have a press.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Your comment will be very informative for our subscribers to read. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@charlesd7301]

I'm about to change a wheel bearing on my front 328xi 2009. I don't want to remove the axle and all the suspension parts. Since I have a 4 wheel drive there's obivously going to be a shaft axle in the front wheels. If I can do it without dropping all the other stuff I will! Otherwise i'll just let the indy do it :(

[@haykelbenahmed]

It's a good job, and easy when it's taken apart and then reassembled before recording. But when we have dealing with pins and nuts that have seized for 10 years, it is much more than 25 minutes to change the bearing. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@vasiavisilievic1873]

4:40 haha the bearing just magically removed itself.

[@trukomf1nn162]

Good point! I also wondered how the "collar" glided off to the outer end - just like that...missing phase!

this guy is to slick for joe average to begin to comprehend the dificulty of the job also it would really be nice if he told exacrly what size tool is needed to get off rhe nut bolt or torqux bit needed to get the fastener off with out striping the nuut or bolt like im needing to know what size socket to remove axle nut and it has to be a 12 point socket a 6 point will not work thank you and this guy is a ace mechanic no joke the best ive ever watched work on any car ever this job is a dificult job and coupled up with rust and corrosion extremely dificult this guy walks through it like just changing a tire he is awesome mechanic

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your valuable remark. Your comments are very important for us to understand how to demonstrate the process in more details.Best regards, Autodoc.

[@sanjinred]

By removing the lower control arm in the rear you have to do a complete wheel alignment. With the right tool to pull in the driveshaft you wont have to remove the driveshaft at all and this will save you a lot of time. Also by removing the bolts on the driveshaft to the diff, they have to be replaced as they are ribbed.

Great video. I did not remove the axle . You need short extensions. With my car everything went wrong, pulling off the hub, bearing, putting it together... What a mess. One thing I'll tell you, do not buy aftermarket parts. All though that's what I had available same day. Thanks for the video.

What are the symptoms that occur when this needs to be replaced? Also approximately what mileage? Thanks

[@dionisieplohii4339]

Merci pour expliquation

[@sthulasiram]

Thanks for the useful video. I am getting ready to start this repair . I have been trying to remove the axle nut for the last 2 days based on your video. After much tries and then trying to google, realized that factory installed nuts have a tabs on 2 side that are bent into the axle and they need to be broken or unbent before trying to use the 36 socket to remove the nut. I wish this is something you would have pointed out. Will let you know how my repair goes. Thanks again

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the valuable clarification, we will definitely take this into account in the next videos. Best Regards, Autodoc team

[@dumbeezy5480]

leave it to the pros

[@1SNITCH]

Is it important to tighten that Wheel nut 420nm or is it ok to power tool tighten like in your video?

[@sanjinred]

Using the sledge puller on older cars just doesnt work. You need hydraulic tools to get it of.

[@LynxStarAuto]

It works, but it's just more work 😂 no pun. A hub grappler tool is your best friend here.

[@caseybalbachan8437]

Do you need an alignment afterwards because all of the various control arms you have to disassemble?

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! After any work with the suspension the wheel alignment should be performed. Best Regards, Autodoc.

[@julianchamberlain5399]

Thanks for the tutorial. Just done this bastard of a job!

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for sharing your opinion with us.

[@tonykb2193]

I did one other day... Didn't touch the lower arm, didn't take out the shaft, was looking to be a nice quick easy job... Then... The useless parts people sent me a new bearing but upon installation I found that the bolt threads had changed from 12x1.5 to 10x1. No new bolts in the bearing kit, ring parts asshats and turns out it was supposed to come with bolts. FML

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! We appreciate you sharing your experience with us. Best Regards, Autodoc

[@yvoncharlebois6036]

Hé does not show on the video the torque value for each nut

[@ecisnerosvivas]

I like the video, but, why they never use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts and nuts? That is not a professional job.

[@autodocuk]

Yes, you are absolutely right, we understand our mistake and now we always use a torque wrench in new videos. AUTODOC

[@graememccullough8922]

Can the shaft be pushed through the hub rather than removing it from the diff? If so, will that allow room to access the 4 bolts on rear of the hub/bearing? I dont like the idea of having to remove the d shaft and suspension arms.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! Unfortunately, we can't recommend another method to do it. Without dismantling the arm and drive shaft, you won't be able to access the 4 bolts on the rear of the hub bearing. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@karlknudson9249]

went to get alinement on car and the inside of rear tire was worn so bad that the steel cords were showing and im right away thinking the rear wheel bearins are shot im taking it apart and have the new bearings but as im disassembling the rear axle im not really feeling any slop in the rear hub is it possible that they just needed alined or do you think that under a load the bearing is leting the tire move around im not really wanting to do all this work if not needed but dont really want to waste these 1000 dollars worth of run flat rear tires either what to do ? im thinking better replace the car has 130,000 on it any input would be greatly aprecisated

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! Unfortunately, in this case one need to examine it and to understand the reason for the problem. We recommend that you contact Car Specialized Service for the complete diagnostics, and they will consult you, if you need to have the hub bearings replaced. Best wishes, AUtodoc.

[@johnm-vo9cm]

Hi someone can help me please ( i change left and right bearing on my 535xi 2008 when job done and with road test i feel registance and if i signal flasher to the right but turn left the signal stay not turn off automatically)

Thank you for your feedback ! Such works are rather difficult and time-consuming, we don't think that we are going to carry out these works. We strongly recommend that you contact the Car Specialized Service to have such car parts replaced. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@graememccullough8922]

To remove shaft only, to you still need to remove the wishbone? Or can the arms at the wheel be removed to allow shaft to drop out?

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback ! You don't need to take off the whole suspension, it is enough to loosen main fixing hub components and to take off the lower arm, as the video shows it. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@eddieronayne3463]

You need to do NEITHER. Unbolt lower strut bolt. Raise trailing arm 25mm and it will come out. Misleading video.

[@brandon7968]

Would the same hub/wheel bearing procedure apply for an M5 or is it different?

[@autodocuk]

It is not possible to answer your question, you can find this information in the technical documentation for the repair of your car.

[@autodocuk]

In general, the replacement will be similar, the only thing that may be slightly different is the design features of your car. More accurate information can be obtained in the technical documentation for the car or by contacting the service. AUTODOC

[@SanDoval201970]

why do you have to take the axel out if the bearing assembly comes out from the front?

[@superdiver.]

i think it depends on how the old bearing is taken out. in this video the old bearing was taken apart.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback!Because it is impossible to unscrew in a different way the bolts with the help of which the bearing is fixed to the hub .Best regards, Autodoc.

[@SanDoval201970]

I've been getting quoted 2hrs 30mins labour to do this by a garage, how long should it take, how much should I pay? Thanks!

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! Unfortunately, we can`t give you a precise answer to your question. In all depends on the current technical state of the old part as well as its fitting elements. You can get more information as well as a price list from your nearest vehicle service station. Kind regards, Autodoc!

[@radianm6]

Wouldn't I just be able to remove wheel bearing and hub come off with it? Then replace with new hub and bearing?

[@LynxStarAuto]

The hub has a slight press fit to the axle. You need to undo the fitment and that's where the slide hammer, or like a hub grappler tool comes in.

[@eddieb203]

Video is awesome and makes the repair look easy, but OMG its not. Removing all these components took me a whole day just on one side. Years of rust and wear, got all my bolts stuck, I literally had to grind and cut a bolt out. Forget about removing hub from wheel bearings thats a no go for me, taking it to the shop. BP baster helped alot but OMG FML. 😆

[@sanjinred]

@@autodocuk You should'nt remove the lower arm as you mess up the camber and then need a new wheel alignment. with a 3/8 extension you can remove the bolts but its tight. When you remove the ribbed bolts on the diff side they should also be replaced.

[@bmwsale8]

You did not clean place where hub sits ;) And you must clean hub and brake disk if reusing old one

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your comment, we will definitely take this into account.

[@MrUnderwurlde]

Tried this and failed miserably. Don't be fooled by the ease at which the stide hammer removes the hub. In my 16 year old car the shaft is practically welded to the hub. Tried a hub puller, impact chisel but it wouldn't move. Put it back together and brought it to a shop.

Unfortunately, we cannot show all the nuances and problems when replacing them, this is all individual and it is not always possible to solve them at home. To avoid this, we always recommend that replacements be made at specialized services. AUTODOC
