Corsa E VXR Wheel Bearing Replacement | Rear |

[@JohnFoster-fv7fr]

Should never add anti seize or anything to wheel bolts. The decrease in friction when torquing them down will actually increase the amount of torque being put on to the bolts effectively overtightening them. So if your torquing them to 110nm with anti seize then you could be tightening to 120-130nm actually making it harder to get them off next time and risking snapping

Top video doing this weekend

[@CoffeeGasoline]

Cheers! Good look with it, the rears are easy; fronts not so much! :D

[@liamevans4242]

great video man. How do you know which side needs changing? ive got the same issue and the noise goes away when turning left but im not sure what side needs replacing

[@CoffeeGasoline]

Cheers dude! If you take the wheels off and spin the disk, you'l hear the bearing grinding. But to be honest it's best to do both sides at the same time, they wear at similar rates 👍

[@liamevans4242]

@@CoffeeGasoline thanks for the help, turns out its my rear left side. I'm gonna changed both sides bearings and while I'm gonna do them I'm gonna change the discs and pads too. I've got a Corsa D VXR, is everything the same with D as the E VXR? nuts and bolts etc

[@CoffeeGasoline]

@@liamevans4242 no worries dude, glad you figured out which it was! I think most of the stuff is the same on D, only thing I've seen different on some vids is the bearing might have an ABS ring behind it rather than being part of the bearing... but I could be wrong! Hope you get sorted! 🙏

[@liamevans4242]

@@CoffeeGasoline yeah the one I'm ordering soon has the abs sensor magnet on the bearing like your one. I'm really hoping its the bearing and nothing else, it drives me mad and I've had it checked 3 times but no one could figure out what the noise was when I took it to the garage! I've subscribed to your channel, cant wait to see more

[@CoffeeGasoline]

@@liamevans4242 cheers dude appreciate the sub! There's not much to go wrong with the rear setup, disk etc. Calliper might be a bit tight on it, easier to seperate the front from it rather than braying it off like me 🤣

[@smegnichtlp8502]

I think you got the nm wrong. Its actually 280nm.

[@CoffeeGasoline]

Ah thanks for the heads up! Is that on the castlenut?

[@smegnichtlp8502]

@@CoffeeGasoline yep but i dont think it Matters. 155 is plenty

[@CoffeeGasoline]

@@smegnichtlp8502 always good to know though! 😎

[@YourDailyDriver]

Mines the same, I have cat back exhaust wich drones and nakered wheel bearing, the noise is unbearable

[@CoffeeGasoline]

It's so bad isn't it! Hope you get sorted, the rears are really easy to do, fronts are a bit more of a pain!

[@YourDailyDriver]

@@CoffeeGasoline if just ordered the 2 rears, cars getting forged right now but Asoon as ots back its getting done

[@CoffeeGasoline]

@@YourDailyDriver awesome man, you aiming for big power?

[@YourDailyDriver]

@@CoffeeGasoline when I first had the car I wanted to keep it as stock as possible but since I had piston 4 damage I'm going to go all out with it , if recently had the gearbox built with bigger bearings, custom build cat back exhaust, 613cc injectors, then in next couple weeks when the forge is complete il have a stage 1

[@CoffeeGasoline]

@@YourDailyDriver ah shame about the P4 issue like, but good excuse to go all out! Can't wait to see what you end up with dude!
