How to change front wheel bearing on BMW 1 Series E82 [TUTORIAL AUTODOC]

[@weingibz3]

My son (who is a BMW Master Tech) just did it in 20 minutes, without removing anything beyond the brake calipers and the disk. Super easy job, no need to dismantle the whole suspension...

We are glad that this video was useful to you!

[@pauldunsford5736]

Yeah I didn,t touch calipers just supported hub

[@saulhuck8340]

Long-winded way of doing it. I just removed the calliper bracket and disc, then took the four hub bolts out of the hub carrier insitu. I think they are trying to sell more tools. My tool list was: Wheelbrace, 18mm impact socket on ratchet with 6" extender, 6mm hex key, penetrating oil, copper grease, torque wrench. What I also had to use was a big hammer and a cold chisel to get the old hub out of the carrier as the aluminium and steel bond together over time. I wouldn't have liked to try doing that in a vice, the car holds it much steadier.

And try to justify absurd labor cost

[@AndreasEUR]

Why on earth does ht take the entire knuckle off?

[@kevinrtres]

Exactly.....!

Great vids, But he already over tightened these bolts with impact gun before using torque wrench. 7:25

Thank you for your comment! We will definitely take this into account in our new videos. Best Regards, Autodoc team

[@AndreasEUR]

If you can listen to it, it barely has any power. So he didn't really overtighten at all. I put my lug nuts back in with impact gun, but I still have to tighten them even more to get correct Nm with a torque wrench.

[@Tifon777]

Also the torque is wrong!, it is 81 lb-ft or 110nm and not 81nm...

[@James-yy4vl]

@@AndreasEUR notice the bolts didnt screw in any more when using the torque wrench, therefore they were already overtightened.

[@AndreasEUR]

@@James-yy4vl Not necessarily correct.

What's the tool used for opening up the clamp bolt bracket ?

[@suj1945]

Absolute rubbish can all be done in situ MASSIVE WASTE OF TIME.

[@vp5]

Look closely he changed the suspension strut as well

[@suniltechshine6068]

[@rodrigomeca]

I guess he removed everything off because he changed the whole struts

Hahahah I've done them in situ wow 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️get a life

[@davidmannion8581]

How easy was it without taking it all off? Can you get to the hub bolts on the back easy enough?

[@mukinfagic69]

Can confirm this, just done it fairly easily with the steering on full lock

[@davidmannion8581]

Definitely easily done in situ. Done mine no problem at all. No need to take any arms off

[@HBCFloorsanding]

I was thinking this looks like too much work would it be possible to get to the bearing bolts with the car jacked up and remove bearing ?

[@davidmannion8581]

@@HBCFloorsanding easy get to them with wheel off and turned to side . Seriously don't know why all that was done
