front wheel bearing 2011 BMW 535i

2011 BMW 535i front wheel bearing

[@gtwhome]

ISTA specifies 165-Nm for all the hub ball-joints. My front bearing started by causing brake shimmy - and gradually moved on to feeling like an unbalanced wheel, before finally beginning to whir at speed ... all over the course of like 2 years (and this car's a high-mileing daily driver). Nice, easy-paced video to watch - great job, Marty.

Hi Nick OnGoogle thank you sir And Thanks for the info . Thank you very much for watching I appreciate you

@@Marty09933 Your videos are super-relaxing joy to watch ... I feel my blood pressure drop while I'm watching them. They should be available on prescription as a non-pharmaceutical therapeutic ... I could watch them for hours (had I the time). Contributors like you embody the original and defining spirit of KZbin - truly a great thing.

Hi Corbin Williams thank you and thanks for watching I appreciate you

I usually cut the bolts comming out on wheel bearings like that, that way u wont have to deal with resistance from rust etc when unscrewing them.

[@kcenglish7823]

This was prob a ball joint or tie rod issue

[@TT-wz6xy]

What make of bearing was this ? Usually these bearing if reputable company will come provided with 4 new bolts to use , reason is there can be different thread pitch between suppliers ambit more importantly they are supposed to be one time use bolts

[@Marty09933]

Hi Ty-wz6xy don’t remember it’s been a while. I don’t own any bmws anymore. Yes they are one time use but never had and issues reusing the bolts thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. I really appreciate you.

[@John-qc1zv]

Is there a way to change just the bearing without replacing the hub ?

[@Marty09933]

John hello no the whole hub comes assembled . But if you do it use xzn sockets NOT TORX I used the wrong sockets hope that helps I appreciate you

[@Sgtzo2017]

Do you have a part number for the hex head replacement bolt?

[@Marty09933]

Hi Lorenzo Howell sorry I don’t and use a XZN triple socket I used the wrong one but still worked …….www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwi7-8rI0433AhWkNjgKHXsoBfIYABAMGgJqZg&ae=2&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESa-D22QSl24ftnwzgs6-poj2QrYYjFcFQG605iZVKA6YMtgccqNyPdNx2jei66fVxJj8GpvT-lnep60TQF87Epss4RYZ9qUzFRhxgtnhtXIYXFW_ocd6gkEo5rKtPCWP6aTxFRWYb37hSAQMG&sig=AOD64_1vA0s6XVm5DB4E7QDu32fXfGuTew&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwir_r_I0433AhWbkWoFHUS5C-YQwg96BAgBECg&adurl=

[@catalincata2931]

Do you have vibration? Thank you!

[@Marty09933]

Hi Catalina Cata your welcome. no I could hear like a howling noise But if you have vibrating only when braking it’s probably your front brake rotor . Check out my other video on it and thanks for watching I appreciate you

[@John-qc1zv]

I had a grinding noise issue. I replace the bearing and it's there when I decelerate. I now think it's the diff bearing :(

[@Marty09933]

John awe man 😪well just make sure you check everything else before you get into it . Brakes, etc . I did a equinox left bearing and it turned out to be the right bearing the sound fooled us sounded like it was on the left but was the right ?? Keep me posted good luck

[@545iAR]

"Don't worry about torque settings" yeah I'll remind you of that when your wheel falls off. You should really torque the bolts to the manufacturers recommended value.

[@eyvazheydarli]

You are doing it all wrong mate.

[@lidgetlad]

Dildo 😂 it’s a high tensile strength multi-spline bolt not a torx bolt. But both these are specifically designed for higher torque, spread across more surface area to prevent rounding off. Which is a more common occurrence using a traditional hexagon bolt as they have only 6 small points to spread the load 😂 I assume you’re worried about future corrosion to and removal of those bolts with opting to change them out. But if you replaced them with the bearings as usually instructed, (most BMW parts replaced require this btw with the frequent use of stretch bolts) then they’d always be removable and fitted to the correct specs. A standard medium tension strength bolt wasn’t designed to do that job, so your wheel could pop off and cause a dangerous and costly problem 🤷🏼‍♂️🙄😂

As corrections go, this is on-point and informative ... if a tad irreverent.
