Volkswagen Mk7 Golf R Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement DIY (2015-2021 VW Golf R)

[@reallife4598]

I never knew you guys were actually legit. I’ve past up on a lot of car parts from you guys just because I never knew you . Good to see you actually work on your car . Got a new customer 😅

[@johnblanning2500]

Brilliant video. All steps clearly shown and I like the tools and parts bit at the beginning. One of the best car maintenance videos I've seen.

[@CorradoAlley]

Such a great delivery of the knowledge, so chill.

[@kiefersnell790]

I was going to comment on the relaxed (I take it as "kind") nature Mike has throughout this video. I don't even own an R, but watched this all the way through.

[@MichaelT-ft3cz]

The service manual says "Caution, never use an impact wrench when removing the bolt", talking about the center bolt.

[@fredjones5327]

Great video I have to do my right rear on my 19 Tiguan do to me stripping my set screw 🙄🙄 quick question do you have to retract the rear brakes???

[@AlexMcB-m7i]

It would be awesome to have a parts, tools & process video like this for the 2WD Golf MkVII Especially because I haven't found any way to KNOW for sure what is hidden behind the dust cap... It's like Schrodinger's Disposable Bolt... M12? 12mm hex? 24mm 12 point?

[@peterf1]

So THAT'S what's making noise in the RR of my Mk7. On the Spring to do list now Thanks!

[@PropheticRecordings]

Great presentation! However that music bumper wears thin pretty quick...

[@fcpeuro]

Noted, thank you for watching!

[@JdsjsKdmem]

​@fcpeuro hello, great videos. Can you tell me if it's ok to greaes my hub through the abs port on my jetta? I see some videos of people doing it but coments say it's sealed so the grease won't help. Thanks

[@mistahcatah]

Excellent. Question: why use ceramic paste for the mating surfaces and anti seize for the splines? Is there harm in using anti seize for both surfaces?

[@mattsheng2211]

I believe the torque spec for the wheel-bearing-to-axle bolt is wrong. The torque spec for WHT005437A (silver) is 200 Nm + 90 deg. The 200 Nm + 180 deg torque spec is for WHT005437 (black) bolt.

[@dt8696]

You are not correct. 90 deg should use when you have bolt with notches. Smooth bolts always 200+180* for types of vw

[@mattsheng2211]

@@dt8696 You should check repair manual from erwin or ElsaPro lol. Your info is wrong

[@adamspencer95]

@@mattsheng2211 Factory repair manual for the Seat equivalent says 180°.

[@supergnaw]

thank you for helping my car no longer sounding like a jet engine taking off

[@harryberry474]

Great Video to the point and concise, I have one question though...I'm pretty sure the parts are different but is the procedure the same for a Golf Alltrack?

[@BSGoering]

I have the same question and wondering if you ever received clarification on this (here or somewhere else)? Sounds like the R has an electric parking brake but besides that, I kinda assume it's the same configuration.

[@harryberry474]

...No I haven't But when it comes time to do my brakes I'm going to dive right in My Alltrack is a 2017 MY and does not have a E-parking brake it should be a pretty straight forward procedure

[@alexwashington8423]

Just did this on my 16 R. Folks in the rust belt be careful with that 3 M12s in the rear, i had to whip out the torch for mine. 100k Miles on my car/hub.

[@christudorache]

You can also pull the parking brake to stop the driveline

[@fcpeuro]

👍

[@channelwhywhywhy]

Awesome as always Mike! Thank you :)

[@rickydub6950]

Brilliant diy vid, thanks 😎👍

[@kennycurran8950]

At 12:22, when you say M12, do you mean 12mm hex drive or triple square?

[@erniecoombes3847]

Triple square

[@alanburke76]

Is the process the same if you have a front wheel drive Golf or GTI?

[@richardmang2558]

Mine is an eGolf. With front wheel drive.

[@eklektikTechno]

A shop just recently charged me 700 to do one wheel bearing, I’m sure I got ripped off big time !!

[@mrw1160]

Hypothetically if I am to replace the axle too at the same time would I unbolt the axle from the diff and be able to free it when the hub is removed?

[@fcpeuro]

Yes 100%!

[@DM43685]

So the hub, contains the bearing??, sorry wasnt clearly detailed in your video

[@ks-ye6ng]

Yes it's a unit bearing. Sealed bearing and hub in one.

[@lingi567]

According TT MK3 workshop manual Silver bolt (WHT 005 437 A) only need 200Nm+90deg

[@ratboyiscool]

Mk3 this is mk7

[@diydrivenGA]

Good vid

[@ThomasOverbaugh-kg1vn]

So you don’t have to do anything with the the parking brake thru obd11

[@hyper8545]

Sweet

[@btowngolfr812]

That top M12 is a bitch to get off. Anyone have any tips? Even been working on it for an hour and no one can get it off
