Pro Tip: When loosening the wheel studs you can remove the wheel center cap and loosen the axle bolt at the same time. Much easier

[@1AAuto]

+MrStangdawg Thanks for the feedback!

[@Christerart1]

Great job! So nice to watch a professional doing a great job!

[@MrFiction80]

Great videos! I love how pedagogic they are and that you give the torque specs! Extremely useful!

[@Peppermint1]

My experience at 10:45: 2 hours of hard hammering and cold chisel and it barely came out. If you are living inside the salt belt, forget about the hammer, rent a heavy three teeth puller - by the way, if you hit with the hammer even just once on the bearing, you have to replace the bearing because the metal 'round' that holds the wheel lugs to the bearing will bend even so slightly from that hammer hit (absolutely not visible to the eye) and guess what (ask me how I know), you will be driving down the road and all of a sudden the wheel will start clunking, you will stop and realize all wheel lugs are loose, you will tighten them, drive away and guess what will happen after another 2 miles. So no choice, once you put the hammer on the bearing, even just a hit, it has to be replaced. The only 'grip' with the video is the bearing bolts are stretch type, so you should replace with new ones (ask on forums). Same for the axle bolt Also, The axles can get stuck inside the hub (often on XC90 because the dealership might have coated the axle splines with red threadlock because the center bolt was getting loose), furget about fighting with the axle, some people even put the hub/axle on 20 ton press and no ditch (which will also destroy the bearing), just replace the hub/axle with used ones from the junkyard. Don't furget the black plastic seal between the bearing and the axle: it protects the bearing seal from corrosion. And may check my channel for a couple of S60 videos (like 500 😊)

Excellent video, but i notice that you didnt use new bolts for the bearing. Also the bolts for the caliper carrier should have been replaced as well. Due to the torque settings and the fact that the lady mashed the head on one of them.

[@TonyBOnUTube]

@@1AAuto Does not make any difference if the bolts look ok or not , the fact that they have been stretched and torqued means replace them. also new bearings come with new bolts or they do in uk

With all due respect, I have learned how to fix my volvo using your videos But I thoroughly suggest not loosening those strut screws. You can get at that top bolt using a regular extension and a regular chrome socket

[@jakehennessy7]

figured you could do it that way but just wanted to check so thank you for putting this out there. According to VIDA and ALLDATA they want the whole spindle removed lol, thats a big old nope from me :)

[@jeepman012]

Nice job

[@fbenfrank]

Great video

[@monoralph1375]

Use a small wire brush on a low speed drill to clean knuckle bore prior to bearing install. sharp scraper may be required for deposits. No mention of the seal between the CV joint and inboard side of the bearing. Lube the splines. Neverseize the hub at rotor install. Thanks for the torque specifications.

[@ggtaruc2578]

I did this on the rear bearings and I used a dremmel with a wire brush to remove the crud in the knuckle bore. Work really well. Then I coated the mating surface with anti-seize.

[@jfjjjjfj]

I'm going to change the wheel bearings on my friends V70, searched the tube and got this informative video 😺 But it is some things I would try to do different. Put the hub bolts in the holes first when the drive axle is away. Lube the inside where the hub sits. Try not to get dirt on my brake pads, and get the hub bolts tightend in a cross pattern 😉 Instead of loosen the bolts on the strut, wouldn't it be easier to remove the bottom nut? I guess you don't have to check the wheel alignment then (or what it's called 😺). I'll see how it goes in a few weeks 😺

Sounds like you're from Maine

[@TonyBOnUTube]

Nice video thank you , however may I suggest a time saver . Job is 3000% easier if you remove the top bolt on the carrier that fastens the strut to the carrier , )this lets you remove the drive shaft fully, ) and loosen the bottom one , also no need to remove the brake slider pins just the full caliper

[@mountaincarjunkie3307]

What do you mean the carrier? I'm about to do this job and if there is an easier way to do it I want to do it that way

[@shodanxx]

If you remove that bolt, you will need camber re-alignment

[@FlippedSociety]

This was the comment that saved me 2 years ago, and now I have to do it again argh, so spent 15min digging for what you mentioned because I forgot.

Thanks for informative video, I can now change mine. This is the only one I saw use no machine tool to remove all the rusty part. Nice job madam. I notice the control arm is new why they didn´t replace the caliper when they change the control arm? just wondering.

[@MrStangdawg]

You don’t have to remove the calipers to do the control arm so you would not have seen it

Great video, thanks! a question: why should I replace the Wheel Bearing & Hub Assembly, there is any specific noise or vibration?

[@dwightcarlson7136]

Did you loctite the bolts for the hub?

[@turbobricksofficial]

11:00 is there no rubber seal on the drivers side like there is on the passenger side? it magically appeared at 14:19 so i guess that answers my question as mine was missing it as well.

[@WHM_FOAD]

Thank you so much for these videos. Long time listener. First time caller 😅 The videos were determining factor in where I spent my money. Please everyone vote with your wallets!, I love the business model. (Stepping down from my soap box) I recently purchased the suspension kit and new axels for my 04 XC70 No issues on the install or any parts but now the vehicle won’t start. Is there anything in replacing the spindle hub, axels or any of part of this section that can cause my car to be miss-timed? The spinal sensor? or the cam sensor? I’ve been trying to go down the list of ‘have you tried’? The engine cranks, has plenty of battery (replaced with new) I can here hear the pump priming and there is fuel at the shredder valve when depressed and I have spark.About every 20 tries or so I do get a very short low sputter. Thank you for any next steps from anyone. I love what 1A Auto does and support you more than just liking and subscribing. But that algorithm needs it pound of flesh so of course I’ve done that too.

[@dominicmauricio2474]

Why not bolt hub first then install drive shafts. I’m replacing struts so their out so the hub lays down I did my first one like this and it’s difficult. The second one I pulled out the shaft and got full access to back of knuckle and used my power tool remove bolts. First one over an 2 hours, I’m slow and limited in tools. Second one under 10 minutes

Whoever fitted the new wishbone, suspension leg, anti roll bar link & drive shaft....very recently...Didn't see the knackered caliper & bearing...? New caliper would require the bleeding... (Would have lightly greased the drive shaft splines along with the all bolts...& used "brake grease" on the metal parts of the pads that slide) Fit a dust cap on the tyre valve.

[@Turtlehands]

Do I. Take off the 4 bolts that hold the hub on? You took 2 bolts off.. just making sure. And what size are they? It looks like a special head

The bearing is the same, even om 07 models they have the same bearing, 08 they have pressed bearing instead. but yours are the same, so the hub should be the same to, however the balljoint may differ as Volvo have been using 2 different types, you should be able to find yours on www.volvopartswebstore.com/

[@steveboucher9001]

watched 17 minutes in just to find the torque

[@shodanxx]

You could have typed it ... 48 lb*ft PLUS 60 degrees of turning for the 4x hub hsg bolts The technician says using the same lenght extension or socket material will affect torque, however that is incorrect. However she is using a u-joint flex socket, that will affect torque depending on the angle of the u-joint. Also oh my god that is the fanciest most amazing torque wrench I have ever seen, it even does degrees !!!! just amazing

[@user-dc1ms5cj5x]

How the hell did you manage to get the drive shaft that far out? I was just trying this on the passenger side. The drive shaft is blocking after pushing it out for about 10 mm. No way to remove the drive shaft far enough without disassembling the strut. Is the passenger side different?

[@Dr.Reason]

Dear 1A Auto, nobody has a Crome thin wall swivel socket so why would you proceed with that option? It doesn’t help.

[@Dr.Reason]

I eventually had to remove the top bolt of the shock tower and that allowed me to tilt the hub away from the axle and access the bolts to the bearing for the removal and installation and torque.

[@Joker-D2]

This lady made at least three gross mistakes. 1) Do not lubricate the hub with anti-seize grease or any other. The hub is held in place by the frictional force of the mating surfaces, like wheels on disks. It is forbidden to lubricate them. 2) New bolts must be used, they are always included in the kit. 3) The bolts are tightened diagonally (crosswise). First by 20 Nm, then up to 65 Nm, and at the end - up to 60 degrees. P.S. Sometimes smart people watch your videos. )) Дама сделала как минимум три грубейших ошибки. 1) Не смазывайте ступицу противозадирной смазкой или какой-либо другой. Ступица удерживается на месте силой трения сопрягаемых поверхностей, как и колеса на дисках. Их нельзя смазывать. 2) Необходимо использовать новые болты, они всегда входят в комплект. 3) Болты затягиваются по диагонали (крест-накрест). Сначала на 20 Нм, потом до 65 Нм, а в конце - до 60 градусов. P.S. Иногда ваши видео смотрят умные люди..))

[@daveschooley8514]

Why does Volvo use + degrees instead of increasing the torque, a set amount? Is this normal in EU?

[@ProVisionColor]

I’ve seen a few people saying the hub bolts should have been replaced, and then claim that the new hubs come with new bolts. However, I have checked quite a few parts suppliers and not one single shop sold a new bearing hub that includes new bolts. In my experience, if new bolts are required, they are always included. Could it be that they actually are not required to be changed? Where are people seeing that new ones are required? What is the source of that info?

What the heck!? “The torque on these bolts is 48 ft lbs.” “ now I just need to set up 60 degrees”. What does THAT even mean? And whatever THAT is, it pretty much destroys the concept of a 48 ft lb torque.

[@charlesdale1462]

The initial figure settles thing. Angular torque is considered to be more consistent given the varying conditions that bolts are tightened in.
