    I changed my rear bearings a few months ago and i can hear the front ones slightly. i plannend on doing them coming spring. so your video comes just in time. Better than the autodoc video.

    I'd be very interested in seeing how you cope with totally stuck brak pad retaining pins as one on my 159 is damningly stuck.

    Neil I suspect you prefer SKF bearings? That's what my mechanic uses, not cheap Chinese-made ones - had to replace a Chinese fitted one on my 146 TS by my former mechanic, within a year of installation!

    Yesterday I changed the front bearings on my 159, removed the brakes and the axle nut, I did not remove any of the ball joints. To unscrew the bearing bolts in this case you need a spanner. what bearings are you installing? Previously installed SKF, passed 13,000 km and that’s it

      I’m quite an experienced hobby mechanic but was glad to be able to follow your lead today, while replacing the front wheel bearing on my 159. Luckily, I didn’t have to take the whole front hub off, a few strokes with a small sledge hammer, then a crow bar and off the bearing came.
      Third one replaced, only one to go, so I wouldn’t be the least surprised if it’s the one on the front right side that’s causing all the noise. Just my luck… 😬

    When the wheelbearing is stuck and you don’t want to remove the whole hub, just unscrew the wheel bearing bolts to half way and just hammer the heads of the bolt.

    • @ItaliaAutos
      @ItaliaAutos  10 місяців тому

      Don't think that would of worked as it still took some hammering to get it out. Access is rather tight under there.

    Fortunately my 156 never had issues with bearings in 280.000 km‘s. Do you know if the 159 are more sensible for bearing issues?

    Evening. Harry’s Garage had an i5 series on test. 5 series EV version. 96k plus 17k options. 115k. He hated on it. Mostly range. But fit finish. Dead handling. Everything. It dawned on me back 2005 the Alfa 155/Brera front end is prettier than a 2023/4 BMW design. What’s going on in this world.
