Car Corner: Car Wheel Bearing Maintenance

[@AlSalerno1]

thanks for including the out-take at the end, your a good sport!

[@andrewvalles1800]

These bearings can be removed and can also be pressed into the hub component shown here. When pressing the bearing into the hub, A good tip is freezing the bearing before hand. the cold will shrink it enough to fit it into the warm hub, you will need a bearing press. If you can’t picture this , just buy it whole like this mechanic here .

[@rodswartzFL]

What is the socket size and torque setting on the axle nut? Can I use any other common tool to remove the dust cap without damaging it? Which begs the question if the cap isn't damaged can't it just be reused? Great video! Thanks.

[@superarteaga1]

Rod Swartz I just did a beetle the other day and I think it was a 32mm 12point socket

[@MrChemican]

Awesome video, but..... it would have been great if you could supply the torque setting for the locknut?

22:28 Why do not you tell how many ( nm ) torque-tightening the center bolt ?

All you people asking for torque specs...... This is a general video, all cars have different specs that vary greatly. Check Google for your cars specs.

In the brake repair video, Mr Reed stated that the brake assembly should not be left to dangle from the brake line hose. I would have thought he would have suspended the brake assembly from the frame with a wire or something. Bad practice!

[@jicstefanwebpage1406]

yah i noticed that too...

[@michaelderkacz5526]

At 8:40 you can see the park brake cable. It is resting on that not the softline.

[@dailydad6335]

He did that on purpose 😂 to see if you're listening 😂

[@RedondoBeach2]

I have the same car and need to replace the hub and bearing. I ordered both and have them on hand right now. The hub and bearing are individual assemblies. I imagine there's a certain type of press for installing the bearing into the hub and onto the spindle. Do you know what type of press is required for this? The fitment appears to be extremely tight. In fact, I'm unsure if I might need to cold soak the spindle and possibly heat the bearing to facilitate installation. Any advice would be appreciated by anyone with experience on this car. Thanks.

[@richardyap2117]

Dan, did you just left the caliper hanged by the brake hose? Can see clearly how you secure it?

[@SpikesMavic]

Excellent Video , well done could not of done it better myself ! .

[@skydrifter3]

I have a lot of play at 6 and 12 but not 3 and 9 oclock. IS this still bearing issue or some other issue?

[@DynamoDylan]

Awsome helped alot it wasnt actually as hard as I thought it was going to be.

[@benjisworld2]

A great video. Thanks for posting.

[@j.s.8201]

what is the torque for 2005 getta 1.8L rear bearing

[@MrDuc1979]

18:42 you took the old seal off but didnt put in a new one. Is it not necessary for the new wheel bearing? Torque spec should be 175nm for the new nut

[@magnificent10304]

MrDuc1979 I think that was just for the old bearing, I just installed both rear wheel bearings on my jetta and the old seals just dangled there. They were actually useful to take off the innar race that suck on

[@Littke80]

Helped me a lot! Thanks!

[@DustySteel]

For those of you who do not have an air compressor for the cutting wheel; they make cutting disk attachments that work with a regular drill and the disk is smaller which would make this job a little bit easier.

[@erdachewaydagnhum7440]

amazing video

[@rubioalejandro2]

What should i do if i do cut into the spindle?

[@caimano655]

VI RINGRAZIO E' UNA WONDERFULL LEZIONE

[@zachmiller4930]

letting the caliper hang by the cord?

[@BAGGED20AE]

great video!

[@jicstefanwebpage1406]

I hope next time you'll add some torque specification in newton meter...

[@t21229513]

Excellent

[@Lily7-n6o]

Great vid thanks for sharing

[@belekiek]

What socket is he using????

[@onavianva]

+Artur Aleksandrov 30mm for rear. 32mm for front.

[@wades623]

they are the same for front and back. 30 mm 12 point

[@onavianva]

Correction: Some vehicles have 32mm front axle nuts. I was not aware there are some with 30mm fronts.

[@wades623]

Omar is Rad ot this they are the same, and there is no set size for them could be anything really usually gm uses 34mm

[@onavianva]

You are wrong. There is a set size. GM has nothing to do with VW. I understand when I made my correction that this vehicle is 30mm all around. However not all VWs (MK4) are 30 all around.

[@JB-qe2rm]

Nice video, but you did not tell what the torque spec and bearing load sequence is...

[@wades623]

mine was completely fucked, sounded like metal dragging on the road and when it got pulled off all the balls fell out because there was no keeper left

[@geojor]

good stuff, thank you ...

[@onavianva]

My rear bearings have over 200k miles. still solid. factory bearings.

[@Alex-fm9bv]

guaranteed crusty and need to be changed

[@onavianva]

@@Alex-fm9bv doubt it.

[@RadioKilla180]

@@onavianva You could be right. I live in chicago land area so it's different here with the salt on the roads

[@TILTNTURN]

Excellent video shame about the bald tyre .

[@dailydad6335]

You need ear defenders for grinding metal i did that and my ears hurt

[@bringe]

If I had done the wheel nuts/studs up like that, without a torque wrench in my job, I would have been sacked!!!

[@TheAlignmentGuy_TM]

The torque stick poem: Volksies are red and Hondas are Blue, GM is gray and Chryslers are too. ...and Ford. Trucks are white... But I don't trust those boogers and still use a torque wrench. The end. Jeff

[@robertries7774]

If memory serves me, it's a 30mm socket. I could be wrong, just to lazy to walk out to the garage and check!

[@rickiedavis8388]

Pic of cake. Just one thing. I did not see you wipe or wash off the metle or trash off the spindle . cutting with grinder. THANK YOU My first jetta.

[@dailydad6335]

That's the easiest vehicle to change wheel bearing especially rear can you please do honda front wheel bearing 😂

[@tanello2]

shut your face, u dont know what your talking about, the old roller bearing can last easly up to 150k or more, it depends on how you mount it, what grease you use and what sort of road it gets to drive on, there is no differense, the only difference is that one can be replaced has a part and the ball bearing cant... ohh and allso, if the roller bearing wears out, but u still have to drive some 100 km or even more, u can just tighten it and drive on, it sure is a better choice for a long tripping car, my roller bearings have done 110 k , and the left front is dieng, has i dont have the tools nor time to get it replaced i have driven an extra 1000 km with it, and its still kicking some ass, ball bearing would have allready by now fail totally and the wheel would have fallen off, dont talk shit when you know you are talking shit and someone out there knows the truth and will set you straight !

[@adamsaint2890]

What a penis. If you can do better, why not make a video and show us?
