Love the videos. Everyone complains it's misleading...lol straight forward, simple step by step. Don't forget people, professionals make anything look easy. The video is not perfect but damn good and helpful to those that can DIY!

Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your nice comment and will go on to make you happy with new videos. Best regards, Autodoc.

$25 per wheel bearing, $125 for a 20 ton hydraulic press from harbor freight total cost $225. Saving about $1000 and gaining knowledge along the way, priceless. It's actually not as much work as it seems. I did one a couple years ago and watched this again as a refresher. I did not take off as much as he does but this time I'm replacing control arms and everything, so everything must go.

[@tempest411]

Rear wheel bearings on these seem to start at $85 each. I'm not including E-Bay/Amazon Chnesium stuff which you'd be insane to use.

[@towhee7472]

If this is what you plan on doing on your car, be aware that EVERYTHING is stuck. Shit won't come off at all and it will take you a whole day. You will also be drunk from all the beers you need to calm yourself down at the end of the day. And by the way: use a torque wrench for Christ's sake.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback ! Unfortunately, each car requires particular replacement and everything depends on a technical condition of car parts units. Our videos are informative in the replacement sequence. Our new videos will show how to use a torque wrench. Watch out for our upgrades. Best regards, Autodoc.

haahaha im dead XD happens to me everytime i work on my car

[@tomsimpson7994]

Thanks for posting this, I did the same on a 2013 X3 rear bearings, was able to get to the inside bolts without taking off the all the supports. This was a big help.

[@autodocuk]

Excellent. Thanks for your comment. We are constantly working to improve our videos.

[@margaretfilshie8993]

I checked this out as I am about to purchase an X 5 with a worn bearing.. I can tackle this myself then after all.. no specific tools required.. cheers guys.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for sharing your opinion! AUTODOC

[@denisovanhybrid9610]

How did you go?

[@HV71851]

Thanks for posting this video! I’m wondering though, I am not able to get the wheel hub off. I using the slide hammer and it will not budge! Any ideas as to why this may be happening? Thanks!

[@autodocuk]

The issue is unclear. We recommend you to contact our support team. Our specialists answer your question for sure!

[@autodocuk]

[@danz4341]

good video.. for other folks looking at it - you really don't need to drop the A-arm, and *always* use a torque wrench on the axle nut... never hammer it on with an impact.

[@drgnfr20]

Remember this video is from a shop they want each corner to take at least an hour. But no use a swivel you can get to the hub bolts. Also use a puller on the bearing race hitting it with a hammer can ruin the surface the bearing race sits on.

[@mackiv8612]

So if you dont drop the a arm theres still clearance to the 4 bolts in the back of the bearing?

[@denisovanhybrid9610]

@@mackiv8612 no . At least one bolt cannot

[@simplelangperorock]

is e70 an easier process to get the job done?

[@alhit007]

Great video lads, half hour to replace! Cheaper to get a shop so to do it!! 🤫😂. If only they would charge only half hour. !

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! We are glad to know this tutorial was useful to you. Stay tuned for more! Best regards, Autodoc team!

[@Liveforeever]

It doesn't take half an hour

[@vnyeu]

Hell lot of work just to replace one bearing. Thanks for sharing

[@samking4179]

I removed my passenger front side axle in order to get the lower ball joint out on my X5 e53 (Pennsylvania car...the ball joint would not come out by simply removing the torx bolts. Had to wail on the top of it it with a hammer but first had to remove axle to remove knuckle to get to the top of the ball joint.) Doing reassembly now and the original axle nut will not thread back onto the axle easily. Is a new axle nut required or is using the old one acceptable? Thanks in advance for any help.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback ! We appreciate you valuable comment. Of course, one should use a new nut, as the old one is worn and is not subject to the re-mounting. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@josephfahie8147]

My BMW X3 makes hard grinding noises when i drive to the point where I had to stop driving it. Sounds like its coming from the rear. Is it wheel bearing, drive shaft bearings or rear diff gears?

[@josephfahie8147]

@UK DRONE RACING thanks. Gonna replace it

Would this process be the same for a 2006 750 LI?

[@autodocuk]

Basic replacement steps are the same but due to the difference in the suspensions some aspects will differ.

[@ramiroalvarez8604]

I have the same problem on a x5 4.4 780 looking at it looks different my question is if the same process

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! Thats right, this procedure wil be exactly similar. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@11guyinthechair]

I like that they did not show how they cut the old bearing race with an angle grinder to get it split so it would come off with a few taps of a hammer. Yet use a hydraulic press to put the new bearing on. You can even see a diagonal cut on the bearing race as he puts it on the table. But great video none the less.

[@spencermaiers8322]

I learned to score the line and chisel it split as well, and I am curious how many people use a bearing splitter and press off the inner race. Sometimes you must hammer on a big socket to get the wheel hub flange off I've found. I think w a press, grinder and a hammer maybe a slide hammer you can probably do almost any wheel bearings within reason.

[@tempest411]

The last time I did one of these I tried a propane torch on the race and it came right off with a flick of a screwdriver.

[@danialraja]

Thanks I'll be looking forward to it

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! You can learn this information in the Repair Manual for your car. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@baddage]

According to the video, pretty tight, grunting tight, or until your elbow clicks.

[@simplelangperorock]

Hi Is this the same as e70’s rear? Please help? anyone? Thx

[@autodocuk]

Unfortunately, your car may be structurally different from ours and the replacement procedure will be completely different. Therefore, complete information can be found in the service or technical documentation for the repair of your car. AUTODOC

[@KimboDogg07]

How many hours is this job??

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! The time to replace this part takes an average of one and a half hours. Everything depends on technical conditions of the units and difficulties in dismantling them. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@BimmerFix]

No front bearing replacement?

[@alexcamilleri68]

Good text book type video but fake and misleading in the fact that it's all staged and everything has been loosened prior.....makes it all look so easy and effortless. You even dropped the wishbone without deflating the airbag or supporting the airbag arm. Wish it was that easy in the real world👍

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! This video is considered to be an informative one, and it shows the sequence of repairs, so some stages of the repairs might have been excluded. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@GimpSlayerGeneral]

Wow can you tell me where I can go and listen to this sort of music in a workshop environment? Please! Who is doing the AutoDick marketing? Sack them imidiately! How can anyone hear the sounds of the car with that happy "Elevator" please kill me quickly "Musak" Corporate drivel, I wonder if this video is linked to a an auto parts supplier? And who makes their tech's wear Super Mario work wear? Come on! Some free advice there! Many are doing much better.....
