What you should do is take two disc to hub bolts out, then screw a long bolt in through the disc to hub, protrude it right through and use it to press against the knuckle and push the hub away from the knuckle with a steady even pressure. Two bolts do the trick, one top and bottom, it’s very easy and effortless in comparison. Plus it doesn’t impact the bearing into the race so a lot less likely to Brinell the bearing.
Excellent wee tutorial Jim. I've done a couple tutorials of my own, but a friend of mine has a front wheel drive Transit & is being charged nearly £400 for the work & I was certain that they're ripping him off. Unfortunately I didn't know his van needed this work or he would have been doing it at my place, I'm badly disabled, but I could have walked him through the job with your help. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching and commenting, yes they can be expensive cant they! Thats why I started making these sort of videos to try show people a way of saving money, All the best. 👍
All in all pretty good, but you should tell people that the 13mm disc bolts are stretch bolts & should be changed never re-used and use a log bolt to remove the hub rather than a hammer.
I break those abs plugs all the time.. the rubber seals inside are stupidly big. I take them out and it plugs in no problem. With a bit of non conductive grease to stop water👌
Blimey!...I’m on my 3rd set of front pads and on 1st disc still. Will need a new set of discs by the end of the year though haha always been stuck in my ways of using more engine breaking that the brakes lol😬. Nice video by the way including the spanner/socket sizes and torques is spot on, now I know il need a 36mm socket as the halfords box is only up to 32mm. Dunno why but the start of the video each section was flashing on the screen, weird. 👍🏻

If you hammer the bearing carrier from the knuckle by hitting the disc surely you will damage the wheel bearing, unless it comes free very easily!??!

£400 easy, one today took an hour to get off and heating and having the life smashed out of it
Easy 3hr job if everything is rusted
None come apart like that,nice try
If its that easy to come apart we wouldnt really need the video

No the disc is still attached to the van after tapping back the drive shaft
you have the new hub nits at 90nm however ford specs are 50nm ? just curious why yours are more
Is the same instruction for front mk7 2.4 and mk7 2.2?? Thanks
Fell asleep 😴 taking the 5 star bolts out
Cheers mate fiddle jobby on tomz
You tap the hub off with a hammer with ease, however the transit hubs often put up a big fight and an extractor is a better bet.
My disc won’t come off the drive shaft any idea why?
Exzellent,greatings from Germany
Many thanks for this vid 👍
tank you for this very good tutorial !
Great video, thanks
could you tell me the snap on tork bit part # for that t50
How did you remove the hub it doesnt just fall free

thank you for the time you took for this video, it helped me.
Glad it helped , thanks for watching 👍
I'm a combination of combat and mechanic
Excellent video. Are 5 Lug hubs and 6 lug hubs interchangeable ?
Hi, how can I contact you regarding some work I need doing? Thanks
Do you have any advice if the T50 bolts are rounded off?
Hammer the next size up into the head
LPG torch and penetrating oil, in whatever order you prefer. Then hammer to chisel
