[@chrisconl]

Great video guys - crazy to see how them wheel bearings work. Loving the new unit and got a right laugh out of the Chrisfix voiceover!

The ChrisFix bit was funny. In my head I also heard “out with the old, in with the new”. Looking forward to seeing the Lanoguard video

[@HomeBuilt]

I was thinking that as i fitted them 🤣

[@danielsellers8538]

Another enjoyable hands on video It's good to see work is coming in because you know have more overheads Good luck for the future

[@richarddinning6901]

No anger involved doing this big job. Years ago i worked as a young boy in a garage you would hear a macanic losing the plot with a tough bolt then it snaps and the customer foots the bigger bill because of the man hours to fix it fantastic content again boys.

[@HomeBuilt]

Thanks Richard, i've never seen the point in losing the plot its only nuts and bolts at the end of the day.

[@gtcars9965]

Very good video. Just keep it sample. I’ve got an Audi just like the one you had. 2003-04 blue b6 tdi.Sad to say it needs a front wheel bearing. Rear abs. Just needs some love. Glen from Devon.

[@HomeBuilt]

I’ve still got mine, my son in law has borrowed it for a bit. I had to do callipers and rear ABS sensors on mine last year.

[@ConnorA21]

you got a link to your adjustable rachet

Ive had tgis for years, came from machine mart i think. I did see Lidl had extendable ratchets in this week in 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2.

[@andrewnewton5893]

Crazy Idea for bearing but so simple design German motors seem to lead the way easiest one I did was on my Mk5 golf hex bolt and just slide off the shafts and fronts just 4x star bits and comes away

Hi guys....love the channel....I know money's tight....but I think you should have gone for a slightly bigger unit...as you will quickly outgrow that one....all the best...

[@HomeBuilt]

Not too much available around us, we’ll there is but it’s silly money. I do have a long term plan in mind which will lead to bigger and better but we have to plod along for now. This is a massive step up from our garage at home, it still feels massive at the moment 😂 Thanks for watching and supporting the channels.

[@PhilHaddon]

I'm about to do this job myself. Would some WD40 help around the bearing an hour or so before the job? Thanks

[@HomeBuilt]

It won’t do any harm mate

[@colinturner6628]

It looks to me that the black anodised rings were for removing the bearing and the silver rings are for putting the new bearing in, the rings should clamp nice and snug on the new bearing and have no movement once the two halves of the rings are bolted together.

[@HomeBuilt]

Its a great tool, done a few of these now since the video came out. Turns out a lot of garages refuse to do them or want to charge crazy prices for it.

[@stevo4649]

thank you gentlemen great content as usual,,,good to see you both enjoying working inside away from the elements too, just curious if that tool is reasonably priced and what brand it is,👍👍

[@HomeBuilt]

Hi Stevo, its great being inside. The tool was just an unbranded ebay job for £45 mate.

[@kinross24]

DTE TV just showed how to fit the VW bearings with two 6mm pieces of wood cut to a semi circle to fit the bearing clip. Watch his channel for lots of VW tips.

[@kevoc3268]

Love watching your content and the father/son bonding,came here from Chops garage.Do ye fear that ye are making yourselves open to being sued by repairing the publics cars?People see fame and think easy money 🤷‍♂️

[@HomeBuilt]

Thanks for watching, to be honest i don't worry about it. I don't see it being any different to any other garage or dealership. Im not sure we have that much fame for anyone to worry about that.

[@Taz6688]

The Gen2 bearing setup can be a nightmare, they can come right out, others feel like they are welded in, be careful on the removal tools, some are all black finish, other silver and black, but they can be silver for taking out or black, cheap sets don't always have the instructions like genuine tools.

[@squeakmillward]

how do Valeo make money if there stuff is crap?

[@HomeBuilt]

There is always someone with a smaller budget or crappy dealers that will have the cheapest thing possible fitted so I suppose there will always be a market for it

[@squeakmillward]

@@HomeBuilt always thought they did OEM stuff

Bearing should not be greas. Housing should be heated and Bearing should be placed in the fridge before assembly. No wonder the wheels are falling off

[@HomeBuilt]

Nobody's wheels are falling off mate and we know how to fit them.

[@davejones290]

That's mad how there held in ,I taught wheel spacers were dodgy.

[@robc5955]

And yet, on smaller vag products the rear bearings are held on by a stretch bolt done up to a ridiculous torque then 180 degrees usually.

[@gregshearer423]

Front bearing are held in like this on polos and such like

[@darrenwilson8042]

The next Class Action against VW after the emissions cheat launched by owners who get sick of their back wheels flying off lol? That does not come across as a particularly safe solution from VW

[@HomeBuilt]

😂 maybe. I’m sure it’s fine as they’ve been doing it for years, the early transporters are all the same along with the Tourag and some Polo’s and Golfs. Thanks for watching dude.
