I watched this vid then another that said DON"T press on the inner race of the bearing. A good friend with a press did just that after saying he's never had a problem. Well, sure enough, because I asked him to install my new bearings I had a problem as it destroyed the bearings on both sides. I bought a DIY bearing install kit off fleabay and installed both bearings using the outermost area to press on. Both bearings are now being replaced although only one was bad after four years of road trips and the never-ending spirited driving. My friend still swears he's never had any other problems with his bearing installs, buuuuuuuuuuut I'd rather not take the chance or expense of doing this more than necessary.

My Suggestion... Save your wasted ball joint money and buy new hubs.

[@arikzilbert4448]

Omg , pressing bearing in on inner. Wonder how many miles the bearing lasted before failing.

[@stevewoodward-rv3vo]

Was there a retaining ring for the bearing?

Hi there! Thanks for the vid! Could you tell us the power in terms of tonns of you hydraulic press .Is it a 5, 10, 15,,20,25 or a 30 tonns hydraulic press. Thanks for the answer, Take care bro Farid

[@TheMemito01]

Pinche Al, like your video but I was drinkig beer and make a mistake pressing the hub upside and the bearing pop haft way, do i need to replace the bearing or just pop it back in place ?

[@cesaringti]

I've almost replaced everything on my mk4 GTI but totally ignored this and im running on c5s with 1.5" 1" adapters.

[@PincheALsGarage]

Yeah man using adapters will cause premature bearing failure. I am replacing mine tomorrow because of that.

I wanna know I have an vw golf mk4 1.6 but the valve them bends right I see the 2.0 engine head look the same as the 1.6 engine head

[@JChurchua]

I think ill just take my complete hub to a shop for a bearing replacement.

[@PincheALsGarage]

Sometimes it's the better option when you don't have the time or the tools

[@DIRTVENTURE]

Did you not heat the knuckle? And freeze the bearing?

[@PincheALsGarage]

No need for that. Just use a press. Yes I do know it makes the process a bit easier.

[@DIRTVENTURE]

@@PincheALsGarage i use heat if can. I don’t have a press

[@ezrothrobinson2573]

Can I use the 2.0 engine head on the 1.6 block???

[@Nate6133]

If it’s an 06A block you can. But you will probably need to replace exhaust manifold and other components that may not match. The 06A block is used in 2.0 and 1.8t engines. You can the difference by seeing what kind of water pump you have, and 058 block has an external pump driven my the drive belt, the 06A is timing belt driven pump.

[@ezrothrobinson2573]

@@Nate6133 I'll check to see if the 1.6 engine block has the same 06A

[@ezrothrobinson2573]

Someone needs to stop this man

[@PincheALsGarage]

Why? Did I offend you? Did I do something wrong? Does this not meet your standards? Please explain I love negative and positive criticism because it helps me grow as an individual and help me correct my wrong doing
