Yay, I have been waiting for this! You definitely making me worry about mine😅 You always make me laugh😂 Quite sad to see the M2 again, that was really cool though, I'm glad the new owner stuck with OEM M! Performance Parts!
Haha as long as you have all the right tools, and a good amount of patience, you’ll be fine mate! Just check out the links in the description for the right tools. Good luck and hope you follow along!
Great video! Also anyone else DIY'ing this on any bmw in a cold climate, I recommend just buying new hubs so you don't have to go through separating it from the bearing 😢
Well, I gave this my best shot, but couldn't get the first hub bolt to crack loose. I initially tried an offset 11mm wrench as you did, but that eventually just slipped, slightly (only very slightly) rounding some of the bolt head (to point of the 11mm no longer fitting on the bolt). I removed the damper and was then able to create a fairly straight shot with an extension and proper torx socket, with my dewalt impact on the end -- but even set on high and with the socket well-seated, it wouldn't budge (tried some PB Blaster and a couple rounds of heat -- still no go). Getting the axle back through the hub was actually fairly easy with just an air chisel, so it seems a bit weird the hub bolts were so seized in light of that. I dunno. Guess I'm going to take to my shop and let them bail me out.
Hm, that sucks mate! Weird that it wouldn’t budge: have you tried a long breaker bar? I can’t imagine not getting them loose with that. I can imagine however not fitting one in there… how are things now? Send me a DM on Insta if you need any help. Thanks for your comment
Appreciate that! I didn't try a breaker, probably because I didn't feel I could achieve the required swing clearance. Even with the damper removed, the axle and camber arm really limits what you can fit/turn in that space. Maybe if I had let some penetrant sit overnight I would have had better luck next day. Car is drivable (issue is a couple broken studs within the hub), so I have an appt with my shop in a couple weeks. But I'm only having them do that side -- I'm determined to do the other in future on on my own dammit!
@@NoNameHere. thanks my man. I wouldn’t know, car won’t start! Seriously though, no ticking noises whatsoever actually. Any idea how you would fix that ticking noise?
@@TheHunterHofmanfrom what i have seen it is fixed by retorque the exhaust camshaft screws, it comes with incorrect torque from factory, since I’m doing the crank hub, I will just do this as well since we are already there
I'm in the same situation right now with my rear hub and bearing on my F87 M2 Competition. I've broken so many parts I'm at the point of dropping my subframe down. 😢
@@TheHunterHofman using a hub puller and slide hammer. but ultimately either method requires a press to get a new bearing back on the hub, so with your method of removing the whole assembly first, you'd use a press to remove the bearing and to reinstall the bearing.
why would the o ring of the dct pump break? mine just broke today when I change my dct oil at a dealership, don't know if it's their unprofessional handling or it's a design flaw? I had to order a new one,..
I been having a similar noise Can’t figure out what the hell it was Replaced rotors n pads thinking it was warped. But still having the issue Hope this solves the problem Been a month 😭😭😭😭
8:37 Xing Ling tools 🤢I will never forget when I was preparing the go-kart for the qualy in 15 minutes and the chinese wrench broke. From now on I prefer to spend more on Beta.
Too cheap to buy proper tools and then cries "chinese garbage" lmfao. You can find cheap low quality sht made by any country if you're not willing to pay up, yes even the UK and US. And that bearing puller was likely designed by a company in the US and then outsourced the manufacturing to a Chinese manufacturer. Knowing how greedy american corporations are, they likely lowballed the manufacturer and requested they use the cheapest materials possible to keep costs low and profits high lmao. Then the idiot consumers like yourself use the tool, and cry "cheap chinese shit" when it's the US corporations bending you over.
So a little backstory for you: I actually called SKF and asked for explanation. They said they interchange parts with other manufacturers when they have a lack of parts (or their supply chain is not up to speed). They quality control the parts of the other manufacturers and then sell them as they’re own. FAG is one of them. Furthermore, when I thought I damaged my new OEM wheel bearing, I ordered one from SKF again: that one was also an FAG one, but made in Slovakia! So I suppose you have to be lucky with which one you’re getting (or simply ask beforehand).
@@TheHunterHofman That is what we have noticed in Sweden as well with bearings and Other things, of course not only SKF parts. Over all the quality has declined. I bought two new cv-joints (SKF) for my old SAAB 900 and the ”rubber” boots lasted two years. Rubber parts are more plastic. It’s a shame.
The Chinese one? I think, afterwards, that it was probably my mistake. The same issue (to a far lesser extent) occurred with the OEM bearing (until I used the CV axle puller and things were back okay again).
Great video. I would love to see you buy more crap tools on chinese websites and entertain us by using / testing them... Also; can we get a blooper reel, just 30 minutes of you shouting and cursing without the beep-beep-beep. That would be awesome!
I've watched this again. So many questions. Including why you couldn't use a swivel socket for the new hub bolts and a torque wrench? I can see why the bearings were wonky after a pretty half assed install... so, why you didn't take it to a shop for professional installation I don't know BUT... your final set of bearings clearly show the Slovakia markings on the back of the bearing when you went the third time. And a bunch of other markings. Mine have NONE of these things on that face and they were pressed onto BMW Motorsport hubs (P/N 33008328143) ... and now I'm a bit concerned. All parts came from Bimmerworld...
because I couldn’t get the socket to fit in the first place, let alone with a swivelsocket attached to it. I’m sure the official procedure would require for the whole cv axle to come out (as I don’t see how you would otherwise fit a bulky torque wrench in there). Furthermore, the point of the video was to DIY, hence why I didn’t take it to a shop. I would say the way forward was with a cv axle puller. That worked like a treat and the bearings are rock fucking solid. I believe Bimmerworld sells good stuff, and there are more bearings on the market then FAG bearings, so maybe you have a different brand. Ask Bimmerworld, I would say. Let me know if you have any further questions or comments.
FINALLY. SOMEBODY HAS FUCKING A C T U A L L Y DONE IT. Not even FCP Euro has a video like this.

@@jules7544 dit zijn comments die me motiveren, dank daarvoor
Wouldn't it have been easier to remove the hub from the bearing while both still on the wheel carrier/knuckle, and then simply unbolt the bearing?
How would you have then removed the hub from the bearing, while still attached to the car?
