Thank you Auto doc I just finished changing mine. I would like to point out to people who are wanting to replace theirs to have a 1/2 Torx socket set ready as most wheel bearing come with those rather than 18mm socket in this video.
Hitting the threaded end of the driveshaft with a steel hammer is a good way of damaging the thread. Best to leave the old nut at the end of the shaft to protect the thread or use a soft headed hammer.
You beat me to it lol That was the first thing I noticed. You’re absolutely right! Leave the nut on at the end of the shaft and let the nut take the beating instead of the driveshaft threads. I’ve seen many of them get damaged because of this little mistake.
Thank you for your feedback! We are happy that our video appeared to be useful for you. If you have any questions, please, feel free to ask. Best regards, Autodoc.

Do you have the torque for each bolt? It would be very helpful.
Thank you for your comment! Unfortunately, it is not possible to clarify the tightening torque, however, we will definitely add this information in our new videos. Stay tuned with us. Best Regards, Autodoc team
Do they sell those coveralls or whatever that dude is wearing in the States? The last time I saw something like those was in that Willy Wonky movie. Great videos.
Thank you for your feedback! To save your time some technical nuances has been missed in the video. In practical terms the torque wrench should be used. Best Regards, Autodoc.
These videos are really misleading and dangerous, I'm shocked they haven't altered their procedure. No torque wrenches, parts jammed back in over rust and grit, a hammer used on the bare threads of the driveshaft (!!). Sloppy stuff and will get people into trouble. Hopefully no one is killed because they didn't tighten something up properly.
autodoc.co.uk So show the use of a torque wrench! And a wire brush wouldn't kill you either. You have a responsibility to show best practice, not short cuts.
@@mist3ral yes ,not to bad to fit, brought this, www.ebay.ie/itm/FRONT-WHEEL-BEARING-HUB-ABS-SENSOR-5-STUD-VAUXHALL-ZAFIRA-B-2005-ONWARDS-NEW/161081246961?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 , cheap but done the job,been on over a month now,no ABS light.
Watched this video and thought, hey, I can do this. Two taps on the drive shaft and came lose. No chance. Hit the life out of mine (with nut on), tried a bar across with g clamps. Would not budge. Absolute nightmare. Gave up in the end. Crucial tool missing in this video. Wheel bearing hub removal tool. Should have shown this on video, then, not having one myself, I wouldn't have started the job. The rest helped though.
In reality no bolt comes off and you have to heat them or extract them. Also tge smaller one that holds the brake disc always breaks un half an must be extracted. And the wheel hub will never go off unless heated and hut hard with tge hammer
Each step of replacement is quite unique when do a car repair, hence we cannot display all problems when replacing. Moreover it is not so easy to handle them yourself at home. To avoid this, we always recommend specialized car services.
hi i have problem with brake disks, i replace them and after 3-4k km steering wheel start shaking and the problem is in the disks they got fucked up... can this problem come from wheel bearing ? i give 200$ for every 3-4k km for a new set of brakes wtf
Thank you for your feedback ! There can be plenty of reasons for it.. We recommend that you contact the Car Specialized Service for full diagnostics and to reveal the reasons for the malfunction. Best regards, Autodoc.
And the bearing falls out... 😂😂 I replace these a lot and never has the bearing ever come out easily. If you are showing the public tips on removing these, at least keep it real. and show them the reality of how difficult this can be. People tackle this type of repair not knowing what's ahead because of videos like this one.
We cannot show all the nuances and problems during replacement; this is all individual and it is not always possible to solve them at home. To avoid this, we always recommend that replacements must be carried out by specialized car services.
@@autodocuk Yes but you are showing members of the public how to do specific work on their cars, people who have never held a spanner before will attempt this in the hope it is as easy as shown..And that could be further from the truth. It is easy to show the difficulties of removing that wheel bearing. and it would be more beneficial than not showing .. so people can see first-hand what can lay ahead..
Put back the break disk and press the break pedal with the engine on...Put some WD40 on it, heat it with a flame then try to nut off the 32mm....thats what i did and it worked
Handbrake on, 1st gear, wheel chock at the front, centre cap off (I use large piece of sticky butyl), deep socket with breaker bar+jack handle (I have full sized jack with hollow handle of over 1m long). Removed CV nut with that method no problem. Just be careful not to stretch your back muscles :)
Thank you for your feedback! Our videos are just informative, we just show the replacement process. When dismantling,the work complicacy is particular for each car, as car owners take care of the technical units of car in a different way. Best regards, Autodoc.
Fatening axle nut by pFatening axle nut by pneumatic wrench is very bad idea, same as hammering directy into axle. To disassembly axle, fasteing nut should be screwd few spins uside dow into axle then you can use hammer. Simple but this is the principle of mechanics. Never fasten screw and nuts by pneumatic wrench Never use hammer directy into threaded axle
This guy is not a professional technician, he always uses an air driven nut driver when he assembles parts that usually need to be torqued. Sometimes it gets too loose and sometimes too tight. You could at least say that these nuts should be tightened with a certain torque.
Our videos are only for informative purpose. All regulatory replacements and values can be found directly in the technical documentation for your particular model of car or use the help of a car service.

We are sure that your comment will be useful for many of our viewers.
Yeah, at least on mine they are E-Torx bolts. I don't think these car have many "normal" bolts
Hitting the threaded end of the driveshaft with a steel hammer is a good way of damaging the thread. Best to leave the old nut at the end of the shaft to protect the thread or use a soft headed hammer.
You are absolutey right. A plastic hammer or a mediator between the nut anf the steel hammer. Best regards, Autodoc team.

How lovely clean All the parts are and so easy to be removed not in real repairs SET UP
Do you have to use that special tool you use to get the rod off?
Great video. Thanks. 😍👌🔥
He make that look so easy, when i got to do mine,its gonna take 3/4 x as long
Easier to take whole hub off really.
Really professional work. Thank you so much!

autodoc.co.uk I changed my bearing just watching this video. But it took me 2 hours to finish tho :D thanks!
This is not professional at all. Hitting the driveshaft, no torquedowns...
Do you need a code reader,with new wire,you plugged in,thanks
Not a single impact socket was harmed in the making of this video
Great vid going to attempt this myself!
Thank you for the feedback! We are grateful that you appreciate our media! To see more interesting content stay tuned. Best Regards, Autodoc.
Great tutorial but I didn't see him put a split pin on the bearing nut before putting the cap on...
Thank you for the feedback! In this case, there is no need to put a split pin on the bearing nut. Best regards, Autodoc.
Rubbish. There is. Also, you should never use impact to tighten - refer to SKF, one of the largest bearing makers in the world.
Pretty sure these are self-locking nuts
Hi could you please list all the tools required for this job?

And all done without a torque wrench to torque the bolts down to spec
Advice for people. Do not hammer the end of the driveshaft ffs. Could destroy the threads.
Would it be possible for you to show how to replace the timing belt on this vehicle please

This is not showing how to replace the bearing. This is the complete hub. Change your video description.
Thank you for your feedback! It is a hub in the assembly with the bearing. Best regards, Autodoc.
autodoc.co.uk you can’t buy a whole new hub from dealer complete with bearing this is very misleading and has been reported
@@TommyGames97 The hell are you on about? The bearing is built in to the hub, you can not replace it separately.
@@sekopiski you can replace them you need a press but seems like you dont know
@@TommyGames97 Well then, give me a link to a bearing that fits into this hub.
