In this video I demonstrate how to replace a 72mm front wheel bearing on a Skoda Fabia Mk1 with a 9N wheel bearing tool. The procedure is very similar to other VW group cars of a similar size.

Why so negative about his car? Totally irrelevant.

Must be in a really corrosive environment, never seen such a rusty control arm, this is a handy tool I have one and it makes this an easy job you may have to use WD and tap with hammer just to break the grip . I just wonder what causes this amount of rust.

Hi John. Where I live the roads are salted for about 6 months of the year. You can see the impact this has had on the car. Thanks for your comment!

Not only this salt , škoda had problem with this , the same is Octavia , is low quality of steel to year 2010 is absence of anti rust protect. And if y usually park on grass y do this with all brands.

Nice tool where did you get it?

I got it second hand off facebook marketplace. If you look up '9N 72mm wheel bearing tool' on ebay you should find what you need.

what is the torque spec for the axle nut?

50Nm then another 45 degrees.

Any way of doing this job without that bearing puller? Just some threaded bar and intuition?
@dirtbagd893 ай бұрын
It would be pretty difficult. Your best bet would be to remove the hub assembly from the car. Then you might be able to punch the old bearing out in a press or with a big hammer. Getting the new bearing in without damaging the ball races would be almost impossible though. You'd have to make a collar that goes behind the flange and sits on the outer ball race. Good luck!

Can't work out which is rustier, your car or your scaffolding!
