Awsome, easier than I thought, so much better doing your own maintenance, no more let downs, rips off or substandard work from stealers and so-called specialists.
Thanks, yes it's a fairly easy job 👍
Great video.. I'm now going to replace both wheel bearings as soon as possible.. Thank you.
Thanks Mario, enjoy working on your Alfa 😊👍
great video! Thank you for sharing.
Most welcome - and thanks for being here 🙂
That's the proper way to make a bearing swap. New hub assembly, no need to use shop press.
I changed front right bearing on my Mk1 Focus last year. Without a shop press, that was a pain in the @ss..
Take care! Great videos from down under. :-))
Thank you very much as always!! And massive bonus points to you for changing the rear bearing without a press 💪
Great job as always!
Thank you mate, rear wheel bearings on a GT are fairly straightforward as it turns out, definitely possible as a DIY at home.
I had to replace the rear left wheel bearing on my MK1 Focus last week. It finally went from spaceship noise to disc cutter going through a large iron nail noise!
🤣🤣 that will do it!
The Focus back hub nut is a heavy one as well done them a couple of times and had to buy a big boy torque wrench ,
Thanks I'll keep that in mind! 👍
How come the bearing is removed by hand in every bearing replacement video and yet.. mine just don't wanna get off 😭
Check out Dominic at Italian Automotive Spares in Victoria for all Alfa parts (tell him Nigel with the 916 Spider and the 147 hatch recommended you)

Thanks for sharing mate, I appreciate it 👍
@@Horus_Works No drama’s mate.
Got my own little battle going on right now while changing over the front wheel bearings on the 147 twin spark… Dam CV axle spindle is rust bonded into the hub. Currently working the hub out bit by bit with the bolt method
It’s amazing how the 916 I did the same job three years ago and absolutely no rust bond issues with exactly the same set up as the 147… But then you get another job with exactly the same parts and it takes forever and a day to get them apart
It’s just the way it goes

Great video - I assumed you'd only get a replacement bearing, so that you'd have to press out the old bearing from the hub and then press back the new one the old fashioned way. So much simpler to just buy and refit a whole assembly. How much was it from interest?
Yes it was a relatively easy process to swap out the rear hubs. I wouldn't worry about pressing bearings in and out John - just not worth the hassle, considering these are about 60 pound each (UK money) and they will last you for years.
@@Horus_Works Thanks mate, keep up the good work.
Outstandingly on point tutorial. I have to do this on my GT this winter, much appreciated! I recon this applies also to the 3.2 V6 version, as the rear should be the same? Do you have to change the bearings in pairs?
Thanks very much. I would change them both yeah, just because the other one won't be far behind... but technically speaking, you could wait till it starts making noise...
I’m amazed that compact impact could remove that 300nm tight axle nut. It that the 3/8in impact?
Yep that's the one!! It packs a punch for such a small unit. Perfect for home garage work 😀
It was probably loose from the last person who put all that grease on it.
Your rear wheel bearing came of really easily.. i've been trying to replace mine for 6 hours. I managed to knock out the old one but the new one just wouldn't fit in place like it should (it's the same bearing). Now it is stuck in place and won't move. Do you happen to have any trick on how to knock the bearing out?? (heat and mallet didn't help)
Sorry to see that mate - I would have suggested heat. Barring that maybe you can find a claw puller that would work? This sort of thing (you'll have to spend money on it, but you'll have it forever: www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=claw+jaw+puller&_sacat=0&_odkw=claw+puller&_osacat=0
@@Horus_Works Thank's. Do you think that the puller will ruin the bearing?
Hi I have the same car as you and my car as been of the road since 23rd of December 2022 my suspension collapsed on the driver's side at the back the rear suspension collapsed I wish my car come apart like yours hi there to grind all my nuts off the back of that car the last bolts that you put on you had a Jack the car up that bolt had to be cut into about 5 bits I've give up and I bought are second-hand part it's still off the road it's been nearly 6 months no if I were you I would Grease that rear bolt up and do it probably every six months every six months thank you for your help
Oh man, sorry to see that Gary! I'll be keeping an eye on that rear bolt for sure - thanks for the heads-up 👍
wow that bearing is very bad never heard one that bad before very rough I will be doing this job soon as mine is making humming sound very annoying but I will be replacing the stub axle bearing and new drum
Yeah it wasn't in good shape. Good luck with it mate, I hope this video helps you out.
@@Horus_Works sadly on my puma because it's a drum brake with two roller bearings it's a bit harder of a job then what you did but I'll be doing a video of it to show on my channel
@AB Auto 🚘🔧 fantastic mate - I'll keep a lookout for your video 😀
Nice, but you made 2 mistakes 1. The plastic retaining ring slides when you push the new bearing on the car, that ring hold the ABS magnetic ring centered. 2. You already have more then 300NM before using the torque wrench, i can hear the clicks from the moment you push the wrench.
No tenias dinero para cambiar el tapon corroido !! 😅
