Volkswagen Golf mk4 rear wheel bearing replacement

[@willtoulan]

Great video man. Going to do this job soon on my golf. Thank you for including the parts and explaining each step.

[@Corysdiyauto]

Thank you!

[@darrenwhite5685]

Do you have link for the 4x new axle bolts?

[@darrenwhite5685]

Much appreciated thanks man

[@trumpetplayer6397]

Really nice video and all the data needed. Only missed some info on, what looks like a round (dust or dirt), I meant...not rust shield, and was removed by grabbing the wings of it, and twisting a few times using a pair of plyers. My so-called repair manual doesn't even have the torque information! Even less, part number info, and quality pictures. So, thanks a lot for showing how the job should be done 👍👍👍

[@Corysdiyauto]

Thank you very much!

[@JoelCaseyJonesMusic]

Thanks for the step by step, I am planning on replacing my whole rear brake system on one of my Mk4s and this was prime! I have to say you went to all the trouble and didn’t clean up the rear carrier with the wire wheel… 🤦🏽‍♂️ Other than that looking good though. Can’t wait to refresh mine. I am upgrading to the larger brakes from the 20th anniversary (it’s a 20th clone build) so I’m pumped. I already have the calipers from a GLI and the matching oversized dust shields. I still need rotors and new pads while I’m in there. I’ll probably just get new stub axles too so I don’t have to remove the race.

[@Corysdiyauto]

Thank you! I need new carriers actually. The rust has gotten the best of them. Good luck on your 20th anniversary clone build! That's pretty cool.

[@JoelCaseyJonesMusic]

@@Corysdiyauto yeah, the good news is once you replace all this dying stuff on these old beauties the car runs like new again… 💸 Thanks it’s been a very fun project! I have another daily mk4 that I am doing a manual swap on that I’ve refreshed most of it and is very reliable.

[@Corysdiyauto]

@JoelCaseyJonesMusic - They are great machines for sure! I daily drive mine and I love the fuel mileage. Do you have any TDI's?

[@JoelCaseyJonesMusic]

@@Corysdiyauto no TDIs only 3 1.8ts 😂. I do want to add a TDI and VR to my collection but I have to wait for my oldest son to take my daily I’m doing the swap on in about 2 years before I buy any more projects. Gotta finish up the 20th build too.

[@Corysdiyauto]

@@JoelCaseyJonesMusic - Nice! Your son will love it. I would love to have a VR6 too!!! Good luck with the build.

[@ikosimisimo3363]

hello, good work thank you for sharing. As far as I know we change only the bearing there is no obligatiion to change the hub especially in the rear. Am I missing something?

[@Corysdiyauto]

Thank you! The hub and bearing come together as one assembly.

[@AlainDrapeau-rz2bj]

can you tell us the original part number for the 4 wheel bearing axel bolt please, i am searching but cannot find them. thank you, very great video !

[@Corysdiyauto]

The part number is: N90758901

[@shawclip43]

That bearing race you removed why didnt you put a new one on? Genuine question do you need a new one? Im planning on doing this next week whole new rear end including axel, hubs, bearings, sensors the whole lot

[@Corysdiyauto]

I installed the new hub bearing with the race attached. When you pull the old bearing, the race gets stuck on the stub axle unfortunately. You'll see what I mean when you do the job.

[@lucascarman629]

Yeah that race will stay behind regardless of what u do on front and rear hub bearings

[@АндрейКемав]

Болгаркой надпилить на искос, ударить зубилом, и легко снимается внутренняя часть подшипника.

[@Corysdiyauto]

Thanks for sharing!

[@modrisadijans383]

Конечно ,но им до етого ..

[@Corysdiyauto]

​@@modrisadijans383- There are different ways to remove the race and I chose to use the puller. The grinder and chisel work too.

[@eli14200]

Great video, love the link to parts.

[@Corysdiyauto]

Thank you

[@StopTeoriomSpiskowym]

8:12 probably sensor can be push from this direction

[@voitano73]

Why did you destroy abs sensor? It was not necessary to pull it out.

[@Corysdiyauto]

I had to since I wanted to remove the stub axle to replace the dust shield. If you are just replacing the bearing, then it's not necessary.

[@voitano73]

@@Corysdiyauto Speed sensor was mounted on that stub axle only , i think it can stay on.

[@FantaLaStrada]

@@voitano73 I'm doing the job now and I agree with you since the hole for the dust shield is bigger than the stub axle hole. I just tried taking out the speed sensor and it felt like the sensor was welded to the stub axle. Luckily I'm replacing the stub axle since it is bent so I just bought another one. That being said the video was really good and I'm using it to replace my stub axle/bearing, etc..

[@michixinqq]

hi, where do I find information on torque values that are necessary for the correct install of various bolts?

[@Corysdiyauto]

You can search online for the torque specs. There's a wide variety of information out there for these cars. You can also get a Bentley service manual which includes the torque specs.

[@adrianvasiliu5514]

What kind of screw/bolt was used to attach the dust shield? I don t find the right info for them.. Such length..

[@Corysdiyauto]

It's attached with the stub axle bolts. www.idparts.com/rear-wheel-stub-axle-bolt-set-a3b4a4-n90758901-p-1022.html

[@ferenczsinko6770]

will a 6 inch spread gear puller be big enough or do you need 7 inch one

[@Corysdiyauto]

It might be fine. I used a 7" spread puller in the video which worked perfectly.

[@rastaboy6626]

Bro what happens if I don’t get new bolts, I’ve swapped the rear axel and used the old bolts

[@Corysdiyauto]

You should be fine. You're supposed to replace them with new ones each time because they "stretch" when being torqued.

[@dacat8171]

Should have restored the caliper bracket, too.

[@Corysdiyauto]

You're right, I should have.

[@dacat8171]

@Corysdiyauto Or just replace them. They are typically not pricey.

[@Corysdiyauto]

I will eventually replace them.

[@dacat8171]

@Corysdiyauto 👍🏾 So did I. Now they shine for another 20 years.

[@kirbstone111]

Great vid! Thank you❤

[@Corysdiyauto]

Thank you!

[@jhammond4344]

Cory, is that a unique 30mm socket or just a regular one?

[@Corysdiyauto]

It's a regular 12 point 30mm socket.

[@frederikandersen1931]

do u have parts number for rear axle stub bolts?

[@Corysdiyauto]

The part number is N90758901.

[@thapelisehl2147]

Thank you for this!

[@Corysdiyauto]

Welcome!

[@StopTeoriomSpiskowym]

14:00 if you heat it up it can be easier

[@gacoperek165]

Szkoda , że nie mówisz ile w nastawieniu na kluczu dynamometrycznym .

[@Corysdiyauto]

For what part?

[@tny1078]

Nice work

[@Corysdiyauto]

Thank you

[@StopTeoriomSpiskowym]

11:12 bad tool i really try push it from this side

[@Corysdiyauto]

It was too badly corroded to move it. That's why I had to destroy the sensor to remove it.

[@paintsilj]

Is this similar to replacement for golf mk3 vr6 2.8?

[@Corysdiyauto]

It should be, but I have never worked on a mk3 before so I can't say for certain.

[@Swemist]

Nice job,..why not change the axles too? Dont remember them being very expensive.

[@Corysdiyauto]

Thank you. The stub axles were in good shape, so there was no point in replacing them.

[@Swemist]

@@Corysdiyauto I understand. Have completely renovated a Mk4 with V5 myself..It started with small things but quickly became an extensive work that took 4 months..Thought that If everything had to be torn down anyway,i might as well replace everything. .Not entirely sure it was a good choice 😄,..but it's very satisfying to see the result. 😀

[@willtoulan]

​@@Swemist what do you mean v5?

[@Swemist]

@@willtoulan The engine is 5 cyl. Called VR5 or later (2002) just V5.

[@willtoulan]

@@Swemist cool! Are you in the states? Where did you find it?

[@SomethingonSodom]

is there ANYWAY to get the 16mm dust shield bolts out without removing the whole hub?? What piss poor design!

[@Corysdiyauto]

No, unfortunately you can't do it unless you remove the hub. I wasn't too happy about that either. That's why I waited until my hubs went bad to replace the dust shields.

[@SomethingonSodom]

i snapped the abs sensor bolt head. tried bolt extrator... tried left handed bits. I snapped the left handed bolt extrator bit... its toast. I think i need a stub axle now LOL FACCKKK @@Corysdiyauto

[@Corysdiyauto]

@@SomethingonSodom - Oh no. Sorry to hear that. At least those stub axles aren't too expensive.

[@SomethingonSodom]

hey can you repost the dust shield for canada? and just the one time bolts? thanks

[@SomethingonSodom]

i think the axle is fine just need te puller and 4 new bolts. the link for the dust shield doesnt seem to work for me @@Corysdiyauto

[@modrisadijans383]

Плохо если мозгов нет Абс датчик не надо трогать.Болгарка,кувалда и зубила решает проблему с старой обоймой.

[@Corysdiyauto]

I have brains, thank you. I chose to remove the stub axle and replace the sensors. Do as you wish.
