Great video as ever Chazz - Just a quick tip if you are ever doing the job again, sweet talk the missus into letting you put the new hubs in the freezer the night before you fit them, contracts the metal and makes 'em go in easier - Having said that, the weather we have been having lately, just chuck 'em in the garden overnight...😗
The problem with this tool is the plate used to push against the bearing has the lip a bit too deep, as you stated, and hence restricts pushing the bearing in completely. I reduced the lip by about 1mm, which gave sufficient clearance to remove it after the bearing was in fully.
I have a galaxy 2007, after seeing this I'm buying that tool. What a gem!...... This is the post I put a few days ago. How having bought the tool and try to use it I found that the black ring wouldn't go between the back of my old hub and the knuckle, I have message the seller in case they've changed the design in some way and it now doesn't but as you have had no reply.... I now have my car in pieces and no way of removing my old wheel bearing I can't add a photo on here otherwise I would have done
Good job. Its all a learning curve, I bet you could do the other side now in less than half the time. Just one tip, copper grease is not a very good lubricant its an anti-sieze its much better to use a moly grease like CV grease for applications like puller threads it would of also worked well on the splines on the driveshaft helping stop wear and making removal easier next time.
Hi chaz is 82mm std on most cars or do they come in different sizes say for my vw passat great video mate perfect timing for myself but not shore if my bearing are same keep up your great work buddy ty 👍🏻
not 100% sure to be honest Pete, Ive seen a few different sizes so had to do some checks on size for mine. If i had access to a VW passat id be happy to check it. Thanks
Cheers chazz I'll look up the size of the bearings for my passat and I'll let you know if they are different I can see it was a pain in the butt mate you done well not to swear 😀 great video buddy and thanks for the link if my bearing are different size can you put a link up on here to buy if you get a bit of commission through your links helps you out mate if not let me know as I'm going to buy a set either way 👍👍
@@ChazzCoombes I'm only kidding mate garage would be nice to have somewhere dry to work. Annoying when you have all the bits. Where abouts are you somewhere in the coast judging by the seagulls I'm down in Devon
@@chucky2316 I know mate, its cool. I have people wanting to use it close by but comes with needing my help sometimes lol. Your in Devon im the other side Kent coast
@@ChazzCoombes I managed to get it done today alright for another 6k😃,I have family in Kent I'm often up there I will give you a shout next time me and to he Mondeo are up there.
Hi Chaz, please could you tell me what is the torque of the three bolts+washer on the rocker cover, please, thank you. I was googling and in some places they sai 5nm and other 14nm but I don't know Please help me
You inserted the threaded rod the wrong way. The sleeve must be mount from the back and not on the front.And you have more power when you push and not pull your ratchet. :- ) but these bearings are quite firmly,just changed 2 bearings on a S-Max (343.000km) with this tool kit wich ist brilliant. But i removed the knuckle completely and to properly clamp it in a vise. Anyway, good job. (Y)
You broke the abs sensor, forgot to plug abs sensor, you damaged wiring, you did not press bearing far enough so abs sensor could get signal from magnetic ring on bearing…or maybe you just turned ignition on while having abs sensor disconnected and it remembers fault code… There are many options, let us know what it was :)
@@adamdolezal4898 thanks for your reply mate, it ended up being a bad bearing Chinese tat lol, changed it out for a FAG wheel bearing and it’s all working great now 👍
You do know you put the nut on the track rod end on upside down? I've bookmarked that bearing tool for future use, 80k on mine I guess I will need it soon

Hiya, there is a link in the discription to this one.

Awsome job😊
I need to borrow youre garage mate I've been wanting to do an oil change this whole weekend it's been chucking it down with rain
ST is still in the air, im striping it down and giving it some undercoat treatment. And might do all the brake lines while im under there.

Nice job, could you of taken the hub/knuckle off taken to a garage and asked them to press the bearing in or purchased your own hydraulic press?
I tried it in my own 12tonne press and it wouldnt shift it. I do have some footage for a video later in the year.
@@ChazzCoombes gotcha, proper seized in there. 👍
Would this kit work with a mk3 mondeo?
Hi chazz what size is the kit your using? I have a Mondeo mk4 also cheers mate
Hi Chaz, please could you tell me what is the torque of the three bolts+washer on the rocker cover, please, thank you.

So nice video
Thanks
To get bearing in fully just remove backing plate and press it home using the studs.
You inserted the threaded rod the wrong way. The sleeve must be mount from the back and not on the front.And you have more power when you push and not pull your ratchet. :- ) but these bearings are quite firmly,just changed 2 bearings on a S-Max (343.000km) with this tool kit wich ist brilliant.

You have more strength pulling ratchet upwards than pushing.
From amarens. Thanx
Hey mate just changed mine but now have abs light? Any ideas mate
You broke the abs sensor, forgot to plug abs sensor, you damaged wiring, you did not press bearing far enough so abs sensor could get signal from magnetic ring on bearing…or maybe you just turned ignition on while having abs sensor disconnected and it remembers fault code…
