R56 MINI Cooper S Front Wheel Bearing Replacement DIY (2007-2014 MINI Cooper R56, Cooper S, JCW)

►The wheel bearing's only job is to allow the wheel and axle to rotate inside the suspension so that the vehicle moves forward or backward. The R56 MINI, being FWD, puts a lot of stress on its front bearings, so bearing replacements can be common. When they start to fail, you'll hear a whirring or humming noise coming from the affected bearing while driving. Leaving it for too long can cause the bearing to seize and your wheel assembly to have a catastrophic failure.
Instead, follow along with Mike Hidalgo, FCP Euro's Professional DIY'er, as he replaces the front wheel bearings on an R56 MINI Cooper S.

Do the wheel bearing on a w204 4matic

[@jh3755]

If I’m going to do this ( replace the wheel bearings) would this be the right time to replace the axles (if I plan to do that anytime soon).

[@fcpeuro]

Great idea to do them hand in hand!
