You don't need to remove the lower ball joint, or the strut bolts that another video shows you. Remove the wheel, brake caliper, rotor, and axle bolt as shown. With the wheel centered, use a socket extension to knock back the axle as far as possible. Turn the wheel to one side and remove the 2 accessible bolts from the bearing. Turn the wheel to the other side and remove the last two bolts. Center the wheel and remove the bearing. Before installing the new bearing use a rope to lift the axle and center it in the opening. Make sure the dust ring is in place. Reverse the procedure to reinstall.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! Unfortunately, to show it easier and make it more illustrative, we had to dismantle the arm ball joint, but your method works excellently. Thank you for the remark. It will be interesting for our viewers to use your replacement method. Best regards, Autodoc.

That didn't work, on my 2006 XC70, right side.

[@danielcarroll5667]

@@jamesmcintyre9985 Thanks James , I was looking at my XC70 & thinking the same thing , the angle on the shaft is so much greater due to increased ride height I can't see the axle just pushing straight back that easily without disconnecting ball joint , 1 more cup of coffee & I'm out to do mine , glad I saw your comment !

Excellent instructions. I tried this on my 2004 S60 2.5t, but I couldn't push the axle back. I followed instructions and whacked the axle with a socket extension and a hammer, but it didn't move at all. I just ended up denting the thing and got afraid to damage the hole or the groves. Do you have any suggestions?

[@autodocuk]

You need to look at the stopper, maybe it is worn out or has fallen out or cannot fix due to wear and incorrect shape. We cannot show all the nuances and problems during replacement, it is all individual and it is not always possible to solve them at home. To avoid this, we always recommend making replacements at car services.

[@scottbandy8143]

great video, would have liked to see proper torque applied and shared upon reinstall.

25 for axle bolt and an extra crank. 35 for wheel bearings. 30 for ball joint (aluminum spindle). Pretty much, tight by hand without much force...

[@jamesshook6641]

If you decide to go with the turn method instead of dismantling the lower control arm off the knuckle, before you lift the car up break the hub locking nut loose first. It'll save you time and energy. Thanks for the video. * Helps most definitely if you have an air impact wrench. *

This is a far better way of doing it than the other video on youtube, they took quite a number of unnecessary extra steps. One thing though, why is no-one using an air wrench?

[@frankl54]

Some mechanics have the right " feel" ....

[@ovlov607]

Everything here is 25 to 35ft lbs. 99% of humans are capable of making things this tight, and medium strength applied by hand isn't going to break or strip anything.

[@barrybritcher]

The hub bolt is 35 nm plus 90 degrees. Deffo fucked it with the impact lol.

[@leiyuan4446]

I believe you can look up the proper amount of torque based on bolt diameters and material. Then add a precise amount using a torque wrench.

[@GKChandlerBooks]

Thank you for your video. I have a humming from left front S60 wheel. Might be tyre, but wonder whether it might also be bearing. Only hear it above about 20km/h. Will have it checked at next service. Is there a sure way to determine which it is?

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! We strongly recommend you to visit a specialized car service center. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@GKChandlerBooks]

Thanks Chris, I appreciate the comment.

[@GKChandlerBooks]

The S60 is only coming up to its 60K service. Realistically I figure it's unlikely to be the bearing but it's going in for service next week and will have it checked. Had a car about 35 years ago in which the bearing went. Screeched like a banshee and cause was obvious.

[@GKChandlerBooks]

Only bought this vehicle a few months ago so no history on balancing or rotating. If they won't do it at the service (it's a freebie after purchase) will arrange it after.

[@francometamorfosis3686]

franco metamorfosis hey great video man! do i need t reset after replacement

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your comment! In general, the replacement will be similar, the only thing that may differ slightly in the design features of your car. More information can be found in the technical documentation for your car repair. Best Regards, Autodoc team

[@Peppermint1]

I think there is no need to detach the ball joint (it's very difficult too). At 6:00 it took me 3 hours of hard hammering and chiseling. Once you hit once with the hammer, replace the bearing because the plate where the wheel lugs attach will be slightly bent and the wheel lugs will become loose while driving. A heavy slide hammer is the best to pull the bearing out, do not use pullers that push against the axle (damage the CV joint and the transmission carrier bearing)

[@fadedghost1704]

Must be nice to work on a car without rust. Super cute gloves... First time?

I suggest using a brass drift instead of hitting your socket extension with a hammer. If you round the end you'll never get a socket on it again.

Are all wheel bearings the same?

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your comment! It all depends on the configuration of the car, in the case of a fully-drive version, the type of bearings on the front axle will be similar. However, for selection, we recommend that you contact our Customer Support team. Best Regards, Autodoc team!

[@MrTwinkie797]

Does anyone know if this procedure is similar to a 2015 Volvo V40?

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! In general, the replacement is similar to each other, well, there may be differences in design. For this you need more data on your car to say exactly how to make a replacement. Best regards, Autodoc!

[@YUNGSGKIDS]

would this work on 2012 s60 t5?

Thank you for your feedback! In whole the replacement is similar, but there can be differences in car constructions. Therefore, you need necessarily all the specific tools to successfully carry out the replacement and parts mounting. Best regards, Autodoc.

is it the same steps on a V70 2004 ?

Why would you hammer the ball joint out from where it is pressed into the knuckle? It would be safer to have it removed and reattached to the control arm.

Way easier to remove shock bolts to bring it forward on the ball joint

[@autodocuk]

Thanks for the clarification, your comment will be useful to many viewers.

[@getitoutahere9696]

Why in the world does my lower nut that goes too the joint keep spinning?? I took both off left and right the little ones. He pries it down. Mine wont budge

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! The difference in caliper mounting design is possible, but the replacement will be identical. Best wishes, Autodoc.

[@ovlov607]

What?

[@RNigroRN]

The ball joint is spinning. In the center of the stud, you will have to put a tool to hold it steady while you remove the ball joint nut. It is a star socket, but I cannot remember which pattern. You are correct that the two small nuts do not yield or release the ball joint, it is pressed in. I think the car in the video is damaged, and the knuckle is so worn out that the ball joint is being held in by the two bolts alone, but that is not how it should be. The normal ball joints require great force to drive out the old, and press or drive in the new. The bolts are just for safety, or reinforcement. You will have no luck prying it out as shown in the video.

[@ReeceFixIt]

mine won’t slide back into place for the control arm and u didn’t really show it

[@masoncertain4054]

Yeah that is a very stupid method, that ball joint is borderline pressed in, I would've always recommended removing the shock bolts and leaving the ball joint alone

And finally gets down too removing lower ball joint and realized the nut keeps spinning because the bolt takes a Allen in the bottom and then wait cant use the socket now because of Allen key is blocking it. 5:00 Fires Ratchet through his house window. Drives back out gets a regular wrench and begins again. Ball joint pops out of hour of tedious work. Then needs a strap too hold control arm down 10:00 strap down he finally gets bearing/hub bolts out. 10:00 beats wheel hub with 🔨 11:00 still smashing now with a sludge. 12:00 am drinks another yells at wife spray pb blaster on it and beats it too hell and it pops out. He releases a many hooorah grunt and goes too bed. . 9:00 am hung over. Calls tow truck. Returns tools.
