Thanks for the video, replaced the lh rear bearing using this method with a bit of heat for removal. VW NZ wanted $5200 for the halfshaft.

Good one. Great we could help. God Bless Ya. Regards Matt

Hey mate. Having the same issues with mine. Who did yours for you?

[@ahebron]

Made a similar pulling tool to first class brake out of scrap steel and used heat to release the bearing

Thanks for your video, it helped me solve the problem

[@firstclassbrakesandautomot6941]

That's good to know Thanks Matt

Hey, great video. I’ve replaced both bearings in my rear axle with the febest kit. After very short few weeks both sides are weeping again. O rings are fine and I’m loosing oil through the bearing itself. Is the seal not meant on the outside and the oil lubricates the bearings? The only other amarok wheel bearing change video on here says seal on the outside and bearing runs in diff oil? Appreciate your reply mate 😅

[@firstclassbrakesandautomot6941]

Hi there. The seal inside the bearing is to face towards the diff centre, or another words the seal faces inwards, the shiny metal steel ring faces towards the wheel. Hope this helps. Unfortunately it sounds like you have them around the wrong way and you'll need to do the job again. All the best. Keep in touch if need be please. Regards Matt.

I am actually working for local service dealer here in Fin and i´m looking for instruction for rear wheel bearing replacement for customers car :-) How tight u pulled that inner nut? There is no any official tightening specs for it. Here it cost 3790€ to replace bot rear bearings and that prize is insane! btw: Awesome video, thanks!

[@firstclassbrakesandautomot6941]

you can buy the kit on ebay we can send it to you if need be www.ebay.com.au/itm/VW-Amarok-FEBEST-Rear-wheel-bearing-kit-DAC46780057-KIT-46x78x57-2H0501172-/174838939096?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0 Just tighten the nut as best as you can because the retainer with the ABS ring is pressed on amd is tight so the nut is just am extra precaution you need to tap down 2 locking recesses which means the nut can't come loose hope this helps regards Matt

Great video thank you. Do you stock the 50mm nut? Currently doing my wheel bearing and the nut is solid. Thinking I am going to need to cut it off Do you sell the nut separately and if you do, could you post it to Scotland ? I have looked online and can’t find the nut for sale on its own anywhere. Thanks Jonny.

[@firstclassbrakesandautomot6941]

Thank you for your reply, and the links. The wheel bearing is on the drivers side of the truck, it is a right hand drive so am I right in thinking it’s a left hand thread ?

you can actually get a nsk bearings for about 200 bucks. just blast the old ones out with a gas axe and warm up the new ones in hot oil to drop them in..

[@brucesieverts1236]

@@thomasaberlic375 you have to order the bearings from a supplier individually. there are no kits as such so you need to find seals as well.

The Febest (only kit with a locknut) seem to be out of stock for awhile now. Do you think it's possible without a replacement locknut and ABS ring?

[@markozabic5552]

Thanks for the video, what is the torque spec of the nut that holds bearing on the shaft?

[@firstclassbrakesandautomot6941]

Don't have the torque setting sorry we tighen it up with a Slogging ring spanner 52mm size until it wont go any further then lock down the nut into the 2 cut outs in the axle so there's no way of it vibrating loose. The ABS ring and retainer are pressed on holding all things altogether the nut is a secondary way of making sure nothing moves Regards Matt.

How’s the bearing get lubricated if you face the seal inwards ?

Hello, question, how do you read the ABS sensor? Through the bearing? Thank you

[@firstclassbrakesandautomot6941]

The ABS ring is the black round part fitted to the collar thats pressed on after the wheel bearing and housing is fitted. Then the nut goes on Regards Matt

Hi. Were the tone rings and wheel speed sensors running in the diff oil?

[@firstclassbrakesandautomot6941]

@@mikewensor9070 Good question I'd say yes because the wheel speed sensor has a rubber O ring on it to stop oil leaking out of the diff Regards Matt

Hello, would you have the tightening torque of the 50 bearing nut? Thanks

[@firstclassbrakesandautomot6941]

We just do it up as tight as we can with a slogging ring spanner hitting it with a hammer then we knock/tap down the nut into the 2 grooves so it can't come loose Hope this helps Regards Matt

[@matthewlee4940]

Is there a oil seal? Only see a O ring! I've got a oil leak, what do I need to do? Replace bearing and O ring? Thought there would be a seal like a crankshaft oil seal somewhere???
