My FWD mk7 350 140 has a rear stub axle diameter of 45mm. The dust ring is built into the wheel bearing assemble and is supplied already inserted into the bearing housing. I can only assume this is the 36mm spline with a separate dust plate. Having completed this job I can recommend just taking the stub axle off (4 bolts) and throwing everything else away. Get a new stub axle, disk and hub with bearing. The bearing hub and disk are usually welded together with unbreakable rust. Additionally they are welded to the hub spigot. Don't waste your money on pullers and special tools, just throw away the hub, disk and stub axle as one unit
Thanks 👍, my hub nut was a 44mm flange which was I believe 300nm, if you have a 51mm flange hub nut then it will be 450nm. Do you know your hub nut size by any chance?
Ok, not sure about that one then, my spec sheet only states 44mm and 51mm flange hub nut, the overall measurement of the nut, tip of flange to tip of flange, mine was a 36mm spanner to remove the nut but the nuts overall flange length was 44mm. Hope this helps
im struggling getting the t50 bolts off the hub, i have snapped two, halfords advance t50 torx sockets, using a 24 inch breaker bar. Any tips on getting them out?
If they’re really stuck in best bet would be heat and impact, do you access to a blowtorch? Maybe from friend/family, or a impact wrench (not driver), even a battery one might help. If you don’t I can only suggest filling with good penetrating fluid and leave overnight. Hope this helps
Ok well I’d be tempted to give bolts good soaking overnight then the following day just wipe excess fluid off and heat around it, don’t go crazy with heat near the bearing, I’ve only got a plumbers blow torch and that’s what use, in fact I think I did even need to use it on this job. Good luck 👍
Sorry, these comments normally come up as a notification on the phone and they haven’t been, did you get it done? I believe they are both anti clockwise to undo, would have to check, thanks
@@breathplay112 did you get the hub nut off ok? i used an 8lb hammer and knocked the $hit out of the back side of the brake disc, its eventually came off but it was hard work
@@thatdaftscottishcarguy I hammerd it for 8 straight hours yesterday and soaked it in WD40. This morning it started to losen and finally came off! Im in lot of pain but wow how satisfying 😀
Thanks for all the torque specs this is the critical thing im after that not many Ytubers do. thankyou and God bless
Thanks for this great video. Some really good hints and tips, especially about the uneven pad wear. Keep up the good work 👍
the first 6 seconds. i know this is a good video maker and a good communicator.
if you do a bunch of more ford transit videos, i will definitely subscribe
Nice vid. Can you not just use a c-clamp to push the pistons in like you can on the fronts?

Mine is connected to the drive shaft, mk7 2.2 fwd
What size are the bolts, I know they are a t50 but don’t know length or dia, cheers
just one point, the pad with a single pin on back goes piston side.
I thought hub nut was +400 nm. I'm gonna have to check that out.got some good advice from this video as I've not done this job before.
Cheers

Dan-The-Man I believe it's a 36mm

Dan-The-Man so 36mm with a depth of 44mm? All that will require is a deep socket.I'll find out when I tackle the job!
@@Shifty761989 🤔👍😎
I can't see from video is this a rwd or fwd

Yeh , I’m a plumber so I have a blow lamp.
I don’t have a impact wrench , just makita impact driver. Only thing I have is wd40 here.

Hi getting ready to do this job, are both hubnuts loosened the same direction?
Sorry, these comments normally come up as a notification on the phone and they haven’t been, did you get it done? I believe they are both anti clockwise to undo, would have to check, thanks
@@Shifty761989 Yer all done mate, thanks
Are you the camper builder Dan ?
No afraid not
Where's the tapered bearing?
Allways use new Bolts and a new 44mm Nut please.
why didnt you show the hub being removed? These are a right pig to come off
Yeah, we are doing our rear ones now. Right came out without a problem but have tried to get off the left one for two days now… dont know what to do
@@breathplay112 what it it thats stuck?
@@thatdaftscottishcarguy the wheelhub is stuck to the axle
