Vw T5 front wheel bearings - press method

[@karl3927]

Cracking job Nathan and a thank for another top video. No one looking at your T5 would ever believe it has done 280000+ miles. You've performed wonders and hats off to you mate 👌👍.

[@francishagen8508]

[@Harty.1]

Well done Nathan . Your nearly the then bud with all the stuff we don’t like paying for , your be back on the mods we don’t mind paint for soon , the nice bits , no oily bits involved . Be glad when I get to that stage , keeps it up bud ❤

[@Weirdwebbie58]

Cracking video,you always make me chuckle 🤭 don’t stop waffling it adds to the entertainment,Ah yeah 🤙🏻

[@plumpii7177]

My T5 came on old kuhmo and hankooks, plenty of road noise and pulled over the road... t5s are tyre sensitive... im cheap, i run standard steels, and eBay is always flooded with brand new steels with new tyres from all the new vans getting alloys.. first set with 4 new hankooks was £100, last set was £240 delivered with bridgestones on brand new rims.. fit more alloys i say, more deals for me.. 😎😎 With my matching new tyres, its always runs straight and true..

[@clivewebster6576]

Nice one Nathan, literally about to do my front T5 bearings, so great timing. Hope to see you at the Caddy meet tom. Cheers Clive (Remapit)

Great video, Nathan. I was watching up to the part when you realised you'd missed fitting the brake dust backing plate I wanted to know if I needed to remove the hub to replace the backing plate, or just the disc and calliper. Keep up the great content. Thanks

[@YTDTETV]

Hi bud just remove disc and caliper hub doesn’t need to come off. Appreciate the comment 👍

[@ragnarironspear1791]

The van is looking feckin awesome 👍🏻

[@YTDTETV]

Thanks Ragnar mate always appreciate your input 🙏👍

[@marcb5328]

Nathan spot on as always , exhaust video will be a good one 👍

[@ianwilcoxson1579]

Great video, I was waiting for you to spot the dust shield, we’ve all been there 😂

[@MalteseMafia]

Great video 👍 no need for the shout outs my pleasure getting you the impact wrench. Ain't the same without the Skip Bangers. 😞

[@Marvelwear]

Really good video, had to replace both my front hubs as rotted together to fit a vanslam kit ,had new bearings fitted 😊,anyway keep it up ,mines blown main fuel rail urgh.

[@Stillbusy105]

EBay Vw bearing puller is 45 quid on eBay & done 2 of my rears with this tool already

[@CampervanAdventures]

Bought one,did both my front bearings last weekend…..very easy job😉👍

[@davidstocking1622]

Great job Nath. You do make it look easy and I know, it's not doing those bearings.... mint using the press... the special tool works without taking everything apart. I didn't have a press, so I bought the tool.... won't need it for another 100,0000+ miles though😂 looking forward to the worst mod

[@YTDTETV]

Hey David thank you mate 👍 anything is easy once you’ve done it a few times, like I mention in the video if someone is tackling it for the first time there’s won’t come apart as easy as mine but it’s not to difficult 👍. I did look at the tools on eBay but I’ve always used a press so just went with it. Thanks bud

[@sean9595]

Another Sound job Nathan sweet 👍🏼👍🏼

[@YTDTETV]

Thank you Sean mate 🙏👍

[@algypan]

Love your videos and the enthusiasm. You have helped me do work on my T5 as a basic diy'er, so thank you! Where do you recommend for the tracking? I'm in Thanet area 🤙🤙

[@christinamacintyre9972]

Great video Nathan

[@wandango5913]

Great video Nathan, have you got a close up pic of the modified M10 bolt that you use to split the hub from the shock please, I’ve bought the ‘proper’ ones on the 1/2 drive socket and they are rubbish, thanks

[@ak-mo9vo]

Looking sweet 🤙

[@billsheehy1660]

More great content, Thank You

[@YTDTETV]

Thanks bill mate 🙏👍

[@simonmbaker]

Lets go....💪🤙ah yeah

[@YTDTETV]

Thanks simon 👍

[@RichardStefanits]

I'll do the rears on mine soon. I'll get the tool though, I don't have any friends with massive press nearby, and apparently the part of the tool that gets between the bearing and the mount surface is needed anyway. I have a CR 2.0 TDI and it does not have a back silencer and the exhaust system is stock, it only has the middle box. Even if I remove the middle one, the exhaust sounds the same. Maybe the turbo and the DPF in mine is enough to make it very quiet.

[@jimmywilson6388]

Hi Nathan, Excellent channel. I have a 2008 1.9 T5. Converted it 13 years ago and still working on it as it's showing some rust round the edges. Your videos are giving me the inspiration to keep at it. Btw, what's your take on supermarket diesel especially from the big M one? Some U-tubers are telling some horror stories....e,g. Emergency Redex transfusions! JW

[@smurfi99]

Nath great work!! My ball joints are knocking have you changed yours? What make have you fitted please. Interesting to see and hear the exhaust next time round.

[@YTDTETV]

Hi bud thank you appreciate that 👍 I havnt replaced mine yet they are still tight. I have seen a lot of people use MAHLE balljoints and say they are good. I’ve seen them on eBay 👍

[@vwtransportersandmotorcycl3729]

Top job mate, the T5 will be like a new van soon! Gutted you ain’t doing the intro dance though 😂. How do we get hold of a DTE sticker?

[@darranbond3448]

good man love the pup not 2 good at min

[@forddoctorforddoctor5918]

🤞🏻🤞🏻front to back works🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@jimstar7692]

Can you not sound deaden the front arch’s if you have any left over from the interior, if it’s just tyre noise you can hear

[@YTDTETV]

Hey jimbo that’s a very good idea I do still have some I shal do that mate 🙏👍👍

[@JasSehmbi-e5s]

Your in Kent Nathan sprayed my van, great video

[@ChrisJohnson-us7ii]

Seems quiet on the video, Have you checked door seals and doors are aligned?

[@YTDTETV]

Thanks for the feedback Chris, it does need new door seals so I do need to fit some new ones 👍

[@archiebaldock5488]

As always another cracking job Nathan 👏👍👌

[@scottsvxr]

😎👍👌

[@washshine3045]

Bit more love on the v dub

[@YTDTETV]

Ah yeah thanks mate 👍

[@johnshaw4140]

Do love a transporter but wish I had an old LT from the 80's , hey ho . I straight piped my Chevy G30 , don't half make a nice rumble now , Ah Yeah

[@YTDTETV]

Hey John my mate had a LT Vw van and he said it absolutely ripped for a van, very nice 👌 👍

[@CampervanAdventures]

Good video,good watch but the bearing tool does all this without pulling the van apart and having to do all this….the tool doesn’t cost alot,if you’ve got prime it’s even cheaper.And if you don’t know someone with a press it’s guna cost you in the long run for them to press out/in again😉👍

[@mikesloper2000]

The special tool to remove the bearing is like £40 on ebay.

[@YTDTETV]

Hey Mike I looked after mentioning and your right they are cheap 👍

[@glenkellaway4664]

What engine and gearbox in that touran nath

[@YTDTETV]

Hey glen it’s a 1.9 TDI BJB and a 6 speed 👍

[@glenkellaway4664]

[@peerless67]

Ah yeah

[@markpearcey-ph5nh]

Never seen anyone work with a van on a ramp on there knees😮😮😮

[@YTDTETV]

I know absolutely backwards ain’t it 😂 the arms don’t reach to both ends on my long wheel base

[@Lewis-jj4kh]

Just tipex the subframe before taking off ahh yeah👌

[@YTDTETV]

I thought of using spray paint somewhere but didn’t think of tipex will remember that thanks mate 👍

[@Lewis-jj4kh]

Fairplay mate you have 2 awesome vans there great content buddy👍

[@kellytaylor3134]

Ha i use those exhaust hangers for the exact same thing great minds think alike see 😅

[@YTDTETV]

Ah that’s brilliant 👍 I normally have loads but when I need them I could t find any. They have many uses 😊

[@kellytaylor3134]

@YTDTETV I hang them on the wall near my torches so I know where they are 😉

[@petehancock1057]

Quality video how to do it properly. I bought the tool got out the bearing out and replaced, knackered the tool and sent it back for a full refund. What sort of press would us diyers need to avoid the poor quality tool. I think your mates are a bit better geared up than mine 😂😂

[@andzonit4380]

Ah yeah 👍

[@YTDTETV]

Thanks mate 👍
