Trimming belt replacement on a VW cc 2.0 tdi

[@chilledspeed]

Could you please double-check that torque setting at 4:02? I have a manual here that says the torque for the rear "wheel hub-to-wheel bearing housing bolt" on a front-wheel drive mk6 is 180Nm + 90°......It's from the VW Golf & GTI Quick Reference Specification Book - September 2012. Could you have gotten it mixed up with the Golf R which is AWD?

[@chilledspeed]

My GTI is a 2012, btw.

[@jenny80myles]

Probably a dumb question... Do you need to grease the bearing?

[@jamdc2000]

if you mean for the inside, no, it comes pre-lubricated, on a side note, I would put some grease on the steel rod so it won't seize or rust, the part he touches at the @3:27 mark

[@MingeShagger]

Wait..I thought the spec calls for 180nm and than 180 degree turn...?

[@squadmeta]

Correct for non ribbed bolt, ribbed is 70Nm + 90. Never seen a ribbed version on rear though.

[@MingeShagger]

@@squadmeta Yeh, i changed a lot of these on Passats and Jettas but have not seen a ribbed bolt🤔

[@LinusF_]

can i reuse old wheel bearing bolt if im just gonna replace brake shield?

[@ecstuning]

We do not suggest reusing old hardware that is torque to yield
