Great video. I have a old Audi 80 i am restoring , so i bought a press to replace the bearings... thanks for the great help . And the torque specs i apreciate.. Greetings from Portugal
Badgertronix Gedore is a German Tool maker, very good quality. But there is also an Indian company using the same name so caution, to be honest the quality difference is like chalk and cheese and easily identified! Out of interest I have an Audi and always find it difficult finding parts, what parts supplier do you use? I’m in Christchurch.
It was a $28 socket so I hope it's genuine! I use a few different suppliers. These bearings came from www.diycarserviceparts.co.uk and that's where I usually get filters from these days. $20 delivered was a great price. What Audi have you got? If you're ever stuck finding parts let me know and I can probably find them for you. I'm just north of Rangiora
Badgertronix thx for that A4 B5 2.8 Quattro avant. Had it 17 years it’s more reliable now than it was in the first 5 years. Mechanical excellent but Audi never got the electronic stuff right. Do you know anyone who can change the pixilated screen in the instrument cluster ? I have the new screen!
I used to have the tools to do that but not anymore. Get Electronics on Ferry Road do them apparently but I've never used them. B5 is when all of the electronic gremlins started to creep in
Gedore tools are German and make excellent tools, I'd rate them better than Snap-on, they save on the marketing so they're a little cheaper. Hazet are another German brand worth looking out for. Nice job, I'm going to get someone else to to the wheel bearing on my C3 100 as it's also noisy. Don't have a press and there's only so far a BFH will take you.
Excellent, good to know. It felt like a quality socket but I'd never heard of them. Thanks, I have done a whole bearing with a BFH but it wasn't much fun. Cheers!
Could this job be done with one of them wheel bearing press kits off ebay and a bench vice or i am better off with a hydraulic press? If the latter where did you get yours from?
I tried with a wheel bearing press kit off ebay and a bench vice recently, I had no chance and ended up dremelling out the remains of the bearing. You need a big press like Badgertronix has.
Great vid Gilligan. "No play, just noisy" sounds like my wife. Lol. I eventially need a press. Maybe ill make one. 🤷♂️. 🌄
Haha cheers buddy. Not much to them, just metal and a jack. Presses are simple too 😉🤣
Nice job Sir, Those presses really are worth their weight in gold.
Thank you. They don't get used often but when you need one it's invaluable. Cheers

Very good. The clean and rust-free condition of the underpinnings is amazing. It looks like Audi actually made them too good for their own good.
Audis back then were built to last. 10 quid for a new wheel bearing and an hour of my time and I'm back on the road. Cheers
Spot on tutorial. It's not my favorite job to do but you make it more fun.
Thanks buddy. I enjoyed doing this job
Can't believe how good the brake back plate was , here in the U.K. it would have probably been dust , nice work there !
It's holding together very well! It is a Japanese import and some of the 4x4s we get are a bit rusty but the cars are usually like this. Cheers
Great job Jonathan and you made it look painless! 😀👍
Thanks Terry. Have a great day 😄
Can't beat an old school BFH!
That BFH has done some great work! Cheers mate
Nicely done mate 👍
Cheers buddy
language timothy lol i bet you forgot to bleep that out great work as always buddy
Oh dear did I let one through? 😬 Oopsi 🤣🤣 cheers mate
@@Badgertronix you did it wont hurt oh and i love the ppe facemask is that from work
Nah that's my one for grinding. The ones we have at work aren't that fancy
@@Badgertronix lol hope things over there are better
Business as usual round here. Not so good with you I see on the news. Hope you're all keeping safe
nice work. i hate using the press and waiting for a wheel bearing to pop free lol
Thanks. It's always a nice surprise!
thumbs up shared thats one job that you need the press for with out the press you would have a big job to make it proper
Thanks buddy. I have done one without a press and it wasn't pretty!
Great job Jonathan! Thank goodness for the press lol that would have been a bugger otherwise! 🙈😂
The right tools make everything better 😄 Thanks Niamh
Cheers from aussie land .
Thank you
Gedore is one of the best
Good to know. Cheers

Not as much fun or ease on a 4KQ, but spot on vid!

Isn't the brake shield the wrong way??
My Audis had circlips but the design was different.
They were earlier models.
I'm sure the last few I did had them too. Cheers
In which direction has bearing to be presst
Shows you in the video
The press makes short work of it.
It sure does. Thanks buddy

Probably, but I've never used one. My press came from Supercheap Auto. Cheers

BFH... big fucking hammer?
