Doesn't explain what to do when the bearing is seized on and the inner race stays put. but very good video to see how it comes apart if you get a nice one.
NEVER NEVER EVER hammer in the bear on the outer race... you should know that!. find a socket that fits over the inner race and hammer away. beating on the outer race causes premature bearing failure..........
Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your valuable remark, we understand that we made the mistakes, when doing replacement, we are working on them and won't make them in our new videos tutorials.Best regards, Autodoc.
i know i was shocked when i saw him do that too lol
Not only that but he did not replace the inner race or was that missed from the video ??
@@geoffprotheroe1201 i think they just missed it at first and then just removed it of-camera
So where to hammer inside?
I love it when nothing is seized on, wheel to hub, disc to hub, no bolts & I've got to go & buy a 46 mm socket, if only real life was this simple
Yes, and it looks hilarious for anybody living in Europe! :D
Hey you skipped the part where you strip out the rotor holding screw and have to run to the Auto supply to buy a set of easy outs only to find out they're no good and all just stripped it worse then get a friend over for three days trying to get the bugger out because none of you have a welder until finally it comes out with a torx socket then when you go to get the bearing out it's so corroded into place that you need the pullers that are small size which you don't have so you call your buddy again and he doesn't have any so you go to rent a set and finally..........etc etc etc. LOL.
Thank you for your comment!
You are absolutely right, but not always everything so easy and it was not possible to shoot everything for the video, since everything was in order, and there was no corrosion.
Best Regards,
Autodoc team
Great tutorial vídeo the sequence of repairs is all here. Thanks
Thank you for the feedback! We hope that our tutorial was helpful for you. Stay tuned and follow our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.
looks like its so easy.. in real, there will be a lot of swearing involve.
Thank you for the feedback! We hope that our tutorial will be helpful for you. Best regards, Autodoc.
I almost changed the wheel bearing on my BMW e46, i did it in an authorized workshop. But I still have that bad bearing dot sound. What could be another problem?
Without proper diagnostics it is difficult to say something, we recommend contacting the service.
very practical. like in the old times when cars were easy to repair. this service procedure shows not only its basics but also that with a simple set of tools a front bearing replacement on bemers dont has to be considered rocket technology as such, and provides reasonable mechanical technics with its detailed instruction to complete this task. the only atenuant i find during the video was at the end when the technician didn't showed that he also need to pump the brakes until the brake pedal gets harder before the engine is started. as a precaution to avoid personal injury or to put your own life at risk or the life of others or property in the line of demage/ danger or destruction of other people property - or your own - make sure you'd pumped those brakes enough until the brake pedal gets harder because if you start any automotive engine and put that vehicle in "drive" without doing it you will have one of the scariest experiences in your life hard to forget. good luck may be a word too far from the thruth if you dont destroy property or cause a big accident and possible death. thanks for your time and the video and have fun 🔠
Thank you for the feedback! This video is considered to be an informative one, and it shows the sequence of repairs, so some stages of the repairs might have been excluded.We are grateful that you appreciate our media! To see more interesting content stay tuned. Best Regards, Autodoc.

Stay tuned for updates on our channel!

Autodoc Team
Please stop making that poor man wear that ridiculous uniform.
Thank you for the feedback! We hope that our tutorial will be helpful for you. Best regards, Autodoc.
I just died :D look at him :DDDDD poor him :DDD
Ejsi TyNejsi 🤣🤣🤣
It worked didn't it? I have installed my front bearings on my e36s like this for years now granted I don't have a lift.
Thank you for the feedback! We hope that our tutorial was helpful for you. Stay tuned and follow our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.
Bearing it self will almost newer come out like this, and bearings inner race will be usually be stuck. These videos should show those possibilities!!! And you should edit this this video so no-one will hit their bearing like this dude does!! and of-course the real tightening torques would be nice to show also, like the bearing will be tighten 290nm! by the nut!
Thank you for your comment! In our new videos, we have already fixed these nuances.
Best Regards,
Autodoc Team!
my friend just showed me this you are a savage mech hammering a bearing on like that its now fucked use the socket that you used to that the wheel nut off, equal pressure on the bearing
What is that thing he did with the hammer and flathead screwdriver? Looks like he put a dent in the bearing
Thank you for the feedback! We will take into account your comments. Best regards, Autodoc.
that's a safety clamp that he bent nivwards to prevent the bearing from unscrewing
Great
Seriously, he wasnt smacking it bujezus hard... will take that no problem
Aha I just got a delivery from you guys today. Thanks for the products. Watching a quick vid before I install (:
Thank you for the feedback! We hope that our tutorial was helpful for you. Stay tuned and follow our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.
nice your the best
Im going to change the rear tomorrow :p wish me good luck
Thank you for the feedback! We hope that our tutorial was helpful for you. Stay tuned and follow our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.
Yep, it looks so easy on you tube, but in reality it's a long ting. I once done it on my old BMW 318i and I must say there was a whole lot of swearing there. It's not as simple as appears. I must also say the rear wheel bearings are much harder to replace cos they need a pressing machine
Thank you for contacting us ! Unfortunately, each car requires particular replacement and everything depends on a technical condition of car parts units. Our videos are informative in the replacement sequence. Best regards, Autodoc.
A quick question, none of your videos show the use of a torque wrench and it can be dangerous if not used !!!!
Thank you for your feedback! We are grateful for your valuable remark. We see that it is a rough mistake. Our new videos will surely show this work with a torque wrench and specify the torque values. Best wishes, Autodoc.
This is what I was going to comment on. All suspension and drive-train bolts and nuts should be torqued to their spec.
@@PeterPounders oh please!!!
Just dont leave the fucker loose.
Besides bearings torque values are most concerned with engine internals.
@@PeterPounders wait what's torque spec? I only use ugga duggas...
This is a very nice video. I feel like I should mention at 2:17, a message pops up on the screen and says, "Wheel Bearing at indecently low prices | Shop Now >>", don't you mean 'decently low prices' instead of 'indecently low prices'? Other than that, this video helped me a lot, thank you. :)
Thank you for the feedback! Your opinion and remarks are very important for us. We will take them into consideration for our next tutorial. Best regards, Autodoc.
Hey guys! Love your tutorials! Is it possible to get the rear bearing replacements? 🥺
Unfortunately, we don't have any tutorials of the rear bearing replacements for BMW E46.
We can offer to have a look at the other existed replacements in the BMW 3 E46 via the link here: ua-cam.com/play/PLWep5LzT0sxlrZzJ2LwR3ZRbK2is26dj9.html

How about the rear?
Unfortunately, we do not have such information.
AUTODOC
Don't you need a puller to get the bearing out?
just swap the whole hub
No, you don't need a puller to get the bearing out.
Thank you for the feedback! This video is considered to be an informative one, and it shows the sequence of repairs, without going into all the technical details. Best regards, Autodoc.
I NEED HELP, IM IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THIS LITERRALLY AS I WRITE THIS IM ALREADY DOWN TO THE 46MM BOLT AT THE HUB I HIT BOTH SIDE WITH A HAMMER AND SCREW DRIVER ON THE METAL PIECE THAT WAS BENT IN IT STILL WONT BUDGE DO U HAVE TO USE A TORQUE DRILL OR CAN U USE A NORMAL ADAPTER 1/2INCH WRENCH WITH A LEVERAGE BAR THE BIGGEST BOLT JUST WONT BUDGE PLEASE!!!HELP!!!
Thank you for the feedback! If the retaining nut is deformed it canot be screwed. In this case the only way is to try again with the new one. Best regards, Autodoc.
my e46 underwent a rear wheel bearing replacement cost me blood clot 1200 gbp parts and labour, it took this geezer 10 minute to rebuild and for this money grabber garages.
Li Lick Lozz rear bearings are significantly harder to replace. It involves removing the rear axles from the differential and numerous pullers to get the bearing out. If it makes you feel any better the price sounds about right for parts and labor.
Cool I just need all those tools!
Thank you for the feedback! It’s great to know that our video was useful! Follow our upcoming updates. Best regards, Autodoc.
should of used a dead blow or copper hammer for wheel bearings
thanks for letting us know. Your feedback is much appreciated!
I think wheel bearing should be changed on both sides always
You're right, we also recommend replacing such parts in pairs.
Not a good video to show how to replace bearing... i mean, they dont just pull out by hand and go in by hand..
Thank you for the comment!
You are absolutely right and some moments of replacements were skipped, but we will definitely add these moments in our new videos.
Stay tuned and follow our latest updates.
Best regards, Autodoc.
Looks handier than a bearing job
You didn't torque down the main bolt!
Thank you for your feedback! You are right: the control tightening should be done with a torque wrench with a proper tightening torque recommended by a manufacturer. Best regards, Autodoc.
Should be torqued to 300 nm
so simple things...why don't you show more difficult things?or how to detect problems....
Thank you for the feedback! Watch out for the upgardes. In our new videos we will describe and show this replacement in more details. Best regards, Autodoc.
chris, why are you cussing it makes you and your friend look childish and immature. while you may have a valid point you lose credibility with such language. these videos are a guideline as to the process if you want specific torque values look them up most true mechanics know how to install bearings correctly.
Thank you for the feedback! It's true, this video is considered to be an informative one, so it just shows the sequence of repairs. We hope that our tutorial was helpful for you. Best regards, Autodoc.
Gene Knight I couldn't agree more!
gene knight grow up
This job was soo easy. Haave everything ready nd it shouldnt take you more then 45 minutes.
Thank you for the feedback! It’s great to know that our video was useful! Follow our upcoming updates. Best regards, Autodoc.
If only it was that easy. You will 90% of the time, need a puller to get the inner bearing out. They get stuck to the axel after many years of driving.
Thank you for the feedback! We hope that our tutorial was helpful for you. Stay tuned and follow our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.
Bass Red hey what puller do you recommend? Can I rent one or do you have a specific one you use?
PBFR33K187 Autoparts stores like autozone, pepboys ect.. have a renter tool system. You pay up front like $80 and when you return you get your money back. You may need the 2 arm or 3 arm puller. Looks like a claw
Bass Red thank you I’m tackling this problem next week ... have you done this personally?
PBFR33K187
Yes, but taking off the lug nut was impossible and had to take it to a shop to get the nut removed. I believe only a pneumatic socket wrench can take it off, unless you have a long breaker bar and the strength of a bear.
I dont believe that old bearing comes out by hand ,I bet you need a slide hammer and one of the races stays on the axle so you need a puller to get that off ....🙄
You are right, some moments in the video were missed, but our channel is not educational but is only for informational purposes.
We strongly recommend that all replacements be carried out exclusively at a specialized service.
AUTODOC
Torque wrench? nah, then it would last longer...
Thanks for your feedback! Please clarify or rephrase your question.
That's not going so easy like on this video!
Music is WAY TO LOUD... great tutorial thou
Thank you for the feedback! The sound can be tuned off on the panel below the video.We are glad that our tutorial was helpful for you. Best regards, Autodoc.Best regards, Autodoc.
i cringed so hard when he started hammering in the new bearing...
Why is he wearing Dollar store winter gloves
Thank you for your feedback ! These are special gloves to do such works and they can be bought in any household shop. Best regards, Autodoc.
Thanks for the partial theory. Unfortunately, reality is never like that. The real knowledge we are looking for is in solving complications when changing a bearing. It's full of them, so this video is just plain commercial misleading and useless crap. I don't know where you saw that the bearing will fall out in one piece when you unscrew the nut. yea... maybe with a new vehicle...
We cannot show all the nuances and problems when replacing, this is all individual and it is not always possible to solve them at home. To avoid this, we always recommend that replacements be made at specialized services.
Where are his safety glasses
Thank you for the feedback! You are right, in terms of safety, you need to wear safety goggles before starting work. We will take into account this remark and apply it in our work. Best regards, Autodoc.
Give him a hard hat and knee pads as well :')
Sorry guys, but thats the worse bearing change I have ever seen :(
I would fire him.
