FOLLOW step by step front wheel bearing struts REPLACEMENT BMW 530i √ Fix it Angel

[@roachmotel69]

Dude your a editing MASTER. No nonsense video. Many a youtuber could benefit from watching this vid.

[@Matice21]

Yes no nonsense!

[@viewingeye3233]

Wow the best video on mechanics I seen. Straight to the point, show exactly what you need and no bs around or talking to much . Thanks dude! Personally I don’t even want do the work anymore. I rather HIRE YOU! amazing job!

[@kinginanorth]

Thanks for the video, I used parts of yours and an alternate video to complete my driver side front wheel hub on a 2005 BMW 530i. I will admit I am not a mechanic by any means but was able to complete the process without having to remove the strut. I simply removed the outer tie rod then used a mallet and banged the bad hub a couple of times downward and it lowered enough to clear the top left bolt head. One word of advice for anyone looking to do this job use a top quality oil penetrator. I had zero difficulty getting the screws and bolts out. Great video and keep up the great editing.

[@kentemple6043]

You have a gift making these videos. Exactly what I need to see and read, with no bloviating, no wasting my time. Great job!

[@MuhammadAli-su3oo]

Thanks for sharing :) I really very much pleased to see your tools which are super convenient in doing jobs.

[@pitster]

Gotta do this on my 545 in the next couple of weeks...I'll be referring to this video throughout the process! Excellent DIY Video!

[@FixItAngel]

+Larry Sliwa Thank you. Please share and subscribe. Have a nice day.

[@PoppinPortraits]

Nice video very clear tuition thank you. Now thanks to this tutorial I know there’s no bearing press needed so I’ll buy some more tools and do it myself.

[@bergrud]

No need to take out the strut. Just turn the wheel And you will Get to all the bolts. Saved a lot of time and realignment

[@FixItAngel]

ok i will try that next time

[@Mo-OhioTreeRemoval]

Now that was a job.. Nice tip with the jacket over the strut to protect the fender!

[@FixItAngel]

+Mow's Lawns Thank you Mow!! I really appreciate the comment. Have a nice day.

[@FixItAngel]

+royganang Thank you. Please subscribe.

[@legenda392]

Отличный видео урок!Спасибо за такие подробные видео)

[@aam77]

I know it's a very old video but I just changed my car's bearing watching this video and for that I thank you. However, I couldn't take off the disc as the small bolt holding it to the bearing seized and I ruined it further by trying to drill it out. My last MOT have me an advisory on the discs and they needed changing soon. So, I removed the bearing with the disc still attached to it and replaced the discs as well.

[@ginominelli4837]

Guter Schlagschrauber💪

[@bennihuber9892]

Danke für die sehr gute Anleitung. Gruß aus Bayern

[@JayZee66]

one-armed bandit :) thx for the effort!

[@ipadapple21]

Damn ...you have coolest tools !

[@stefan2meter]

Doing this now in the driveway, rewatching the video to see if I forgot something. What a PAIN to get those four bolts out with hand tools! Got two out just before the heads were rounded, stopped for a drink (because otherwise I would have set it on fire lol). Wish I had air tools here, ugh.

[@mickeytnova]

This was an intense diy job. Curious as to why you didn't remove the lower ball joint too, along with everything else, looks like it woulda been a more easier job. Thanks for posting up and sharing this. Lots of gnarly diy in this. Thanks and Great job.

[@FixItAngel]

+Miguel Torres Hi Miguel, Honestly I didn't want to remove the ball joints because there were 2. lol it looked too hard for me to do. lol Thank you for your comment.

[@davem5333]

Great video. Except at the 2:30 point or when you use the gearwrench to break loose tight bolts. Great way to strip them.

[@FixItAngel]

Dave M hi thank you. I did not strip them. I know what I’m doing. Ask first if I ever strip them. I always use gear wrench they work well. Everyone has their preferences on what types of tools they use. Obviously if I did strip the nut I wouldn’t be using it in this video. Just saying brother.

[@MrGibratan]

thanks for the video will help me a lot

[@AdrianJayeOnline]

have to echo other comments EXCELLENT editing, fantastic video, liked and sub'd bro, your a STAR

[@Sroor90010]

Nice man will do this to my e39 on the near future

[@Lehin31rus]

Отличное видео! Без слов лучше показал и объяснил чем некоторые со словами, и еще какой нить сраной музыкой на заднем фоне).

[@FixItAngel]

+Алексей Маликов Sorry I don't understand Russian. But I found out what it means. "Great video! Without words he showed and explained better than some of the words , and a thread of shitty music in the background". Thank you for the comment. Please share and subscribe.

[@myszor81]

Hi Do you have to lift the whole front end or is it enough to lift one side of the car?

[@Matice21]

Awesome video man! I just replaced my bearings on my e46 a few days ago....im dreading the day i have to do this to my e60 530i 😑

[@Matice21]

Omg!!! I have to do this to my e60 😭😭😭...my wheel hub is wobbly & have bad vibrations between 55-80mph...i now dreading this. I bought the “fag” brand from a local auto part store.

[@DiscoFang]

Haha snap! I did my E46 front bearings last week - Super easy. Now I'm here seeing how to do the struts on my E61 and looks like I should do the wheel bearings while I'm in there!

[@Riki1976]

Well done. Thx for the video.

[@jimwong2823]

I wouldn't trust any cheap part from local auto store.I would also replace upper/lower control arms,rotor ,pads.Save time and headache.

[@mushy18100]

Jim Wong I feel you but that was customer’s choice

[@topgunns1000]

That car's probably got a zillion miles on it. The cheap bearing will outlast the car.

[@1goos4u]

Great video, clear and right to the point! Any difference in doing this job on an E60 with all wheel drive aside from pulling out the axle from the hub?

[@raystevenson2604]

Do u need to have the strut Lind up after u do a front coil Spring. Am just curious as to why my front wheel bearing only got noisey after I done the spring ??? Oh good video by the way

[@Karanjy]

All I can tell u I've replaced front bearing on a friend's 2010 550i and didn't have to remove the strut. To me that's an extra step u can avoid. True maybe it gives u more room your way but it's not necessary. Oh and I would have recorded a video if I had one to work on unless u want to buy me new bearing I replace the ones I just replaced this past summer

[@bluewater6481]

Angel...Great DIY video. I am changing the front bearings on a 06 530xi... The front bearings appear to have a wired lock nut in the middle. I cant find any bolts on the back of the assembly so I am assuming that the nut is holding everything in place. Is that a special tool? Ive got some pictures not sure how to get them to you. Thanks in advanced

[@عبدالمحسنالجبري-ي5ظ]

very good

[@stephenyoungblood3683]

How many miles on the bearing when you replaced it? Thanks for the great vid!

[@petercan1020]

It's easier if you disconnect the bottom of the strut first totally disconnecting everything on the bottom then go up to the top of the strut loosen the bolts and pull the whole thing out

[@superdiver.]

awesome, man

[@mathewclark1407]

Awesome, Thx brosky!

[@FixItAngel]

+m clark (fallout boy) Welcome!! Please share and subscribe. Have a nice day.

[@zyce007]

hi got a question i cant find any information for the real wheel bearing replacements needs to be done on my car but cant find any installation guide ... or just some information woud be nice ... thanks in advance and good job !

[@FixItAngel]

Hi zyce, sorry I do not have any video. when I do come across any info. I will upload it. Welcome and thank you

[@zyce007]

thanks for the response! and no problem :)

[@Ksatriya]

Replacing the Strut with Suspension Arms still attached to the car wouldnt that damage the bushes or the balljoints 🤔 Apart that at 7:47 the anti rollbar link seemed to be a bit bent ..hopefully u replaced it.Nice video though 👍

[@KitchenMisfit818]

What kind of air compressor do you use? I want to buy one but dont really know which one.

[@MrSilksoul]

Is this tutorial applicable to a 2006 750i? Also, just o be clear, I have to remove the strut just to take off the wheel bearing?

[@FixItAngel]

+MrSilksoul More likely it is the same procedure but I do not know for certain. Look at pictures on the internet or jack up your car and take a look. I hope this video helps.

[@Theriion]

great video man, really! how long did it take you to replace this bearing? mine is bust but Im gonna get the car to the garage, my skill is rubbish for stuff like this lol .

[@daviddeutschle5841]

you can just remove the Brake and use a 18mm ring spanner to release the bolts, so you don't need to do all that you've done :D

[@FixItAngel]

David Deutschle thank you for the tip. Always appreciated. Have a nice day

[@stephenyoungblood3683]

Are the 4 bolts not accessible without doing all that?

[@cooldude2245]

Will it need an alignment?

[@crispinmathieu6709]

dear fix it angel is is the replacement of a front wheel bearing on a 1998 740 il the same as in your video

[@FixItAngel]

+crispin mathieu Sorry I think not.

[@crispinmathieu6709]

Thank you for your reply - question Can you offer me any advice on replacing a wheel bearing in a 1998 740 il because it definitely needs to be replaced and I'm a old BMW owners budget lol .. my main concern is that the wheel bearing needs to be pressed out as opposed to the wheel bearing in your video which was bolted out I appreciate your reply thank you

[@FixItAngel]

Hello Crispin, I understand you are in a budget. But you are better off bringing it to a good shop in your area. Save yourself from any problems and lost time that WILL come up. Your sanity is more important than doing this job and just spend the money for someone to do it. I hope it all works out for you. Please subscribe.

[@2Phast4Rocket]

This is the best advice yet. If people like to work on cars then they should do it and to save money, but if they don't, it's best to leave the job to a good mechanic.

[@TheStpeteboy]

What size and brand air compressor do you use? I want to get one for auto work at home. Do you have a brand you like?

[@FixItAngel]

+Yod S Hello, I have a Craftsman 60 gallon. I got it used for $20 in Craigslist. I got lucky.

[@TheStpeteboy]

+Fix It Angel Have you had any issues with the Craftsmans compressor? I was looking at a Quincy air compressor thats suppose to made in the USA

[@FixItAngel]

Well, the Craftsman is working OK, no problems...yet I guess. I still have a Harbor freight 8 gallon compressor since 2004 and it is still working. I don't know anything about the Quincy. Sorry

[@TasteofBlood]

Hey i got an e60 in vegas too. How are those masterpro wheel bearings holding up soo far?

[@FixItAngel]

+Ali Omar It's my friend car. He said it is great. Bought from O'Reilly's. Please subscribe.

[@KingOfPortraits]

what size compressor do you have how many lbs is it

[@tuhoangminh672]

👌😍👍thanks ..

[@mathistubechannel8238]

Thx

[@Paul-ul7dz]

Do really have to remove the strut to change the wheel bearing not sure about that seen it with out going to all that trouble

[@FixItAngel]

Paul Hunter hi, why ask questions? The answer to that question is.... Go try it yourself and find out. Everyone always want a short cut, the fastest way. For me, no matter how much parts I take off. I know it’s done right. It don’t matter how long it takes. Just saying brother.

[@goochbillingham]

Is it possible to remove the hub without removing the strut?

[@FixItAngel]

I don't think so. But if you did try and do it. please make sure you comment back on how you did it. Thanks

[@BobbyShmurda170Gaming]

I need I have the same BMW 2007 530xi mines making the same noise when I turn the wheel I need someone to fix it for me where u from?

[@FlawaPowa]

Abs light is on after installation

[@Khaledghaffari]

Wheels inside magnetic speed sensor?

[@juancarlosrodriguez8516]

A friend how can I get in touch with you a need my car to get fix

[@bensampson2697]

how long did this take you

[@FixItAngel]

+Ben Sampson It took me close to 3 hours because I was doing this video. I would have done it in an hour. Please share and subscribe.

[@julianlaustsen1991]

is it not possible to just swap the bearing without loosening all that shit? thoose 4 bolts holding the hub wont come off unless u loosen all that crap?

[@bensampson2697]

do you have an email or a point of contact for more questions I really need to pick your brain on this bmw 530i

[@FixItAngel]

+Ben Sampson What's your questions? All you need to do is follow the video.

[@jirojosephesman8175]

what is d reason dat happen?and how will i know?thx

[@FixItAngel]

+jirojoseph esman you will know when you are driving. there will be a grinding noise.

[@andmar4002]

a lot of work for no reason unscrew only 4 screws of the bearing and remove slowly by hammer force (the bearing with housing to be replaced)

[@bbogdanmircea]

Omg what an amount of work for just a bearing ... so you need to take the strut out just to have access to the bolt that hold that bearing there ? These BMWs are some over complicated machines ...

[@Hmmm313]

don't need to..he over worked that job...that's an hour work...easy....

[@DG-od4si]

it can be done without removing the strut

[@ironfistarrival]

Using one hand for the camera and another doing the job .

[@BubbaGrey]

Omgurd a bmw I can’t stand working on them over complicated if you ask me but all I do on them is oil

[@matreyia]

Note to Self...don't ever buy an e60. Holy moly...it is literally a 1.5 hr. job on an e90.

[@RichardApplegate]

No wonder why labor is sooooo high on bmw since it challenge

[@mohamedemam886]

No speed sensor This A B S breaks

[@محمدالدسريذكر]

💪💪❤👍

[@coolbema]

I will never use and recommend Chinese made bearings !! After this all hard work its worth to use some branded bearing Japanese or German made for long term reliability. DO It Once Or Do it Never !!

[@jonathanw1711]

worst parts to put on a European car is O Riellys

[@Karanjy]

You don't have to remove the strut, u had enough room

[@FixItAngel]

Karanjy really?? Let me see you do it on your car on video. If I did it the long way. It's ok because it's my way. So let's see that video. Show me as well as the world what we should know about fixing this type of car. I will be waiting.

[@pauljoey7977]

I'd let you work on my car. Great video. Damn germans build panther like shit. Over engineer everything.

[@FixItAngel]

[@armando062212]

+Fix It Angel E60 M5 lol im actually dropping the motor in it next week and doing rod bearings and resealing it all.

[@FixItAngel]

we are talking about wheel bearings, right? you don't have to tell me the other stuff you going to do to your car. just show me a video of replacing the front wheel bearings. then you will know when you do the bearings, my video told you so.

[@Hmmm313]

way too much extra work....too much extra stuff he removed...…….

[@twindragon731]

I was thinking the exact same thing. Didn't have to remove the strut and other stuff to just do a bolt on bearing

[@ОлегПрисяжный-з1л]

Это треш на не удалённый пластиковый герметик болта ступицы ещё намазывает герметиком и закручивает как интересно он собирается потом ступицу снимать не понятно.

[@beastfromtheeast9318]

Damn all that just to remove a strut? Fuck bmw

[@SuperGabriel286]

bmw??? why too much nuts and.bolts??? if.toyota maybe 5mins already remove

[@DiscoFang]

You don't know much about Toyotas then. Tell me how long it takes to replace the front and rear bearings on a Hiace.
