Here is me replacing the rear wheel bearing in my 2005 mk5 Golf 1.9TDi. I hope you find it useful as a guide, please make sure you double check the procedure for your specific car! Have Fun, Super Ron!
One of the few videos showing how to do it correctly, nice camera work too. I bought a heavier duty breaker bar for this job with less flex, US Pro 1572, hanging off standard bars with a pipe always feels sketchy!
I tend to get a single knock sound around my front right wheel when I am reversing with full lock steering to the right. Sometimes when driving forward up a ramp with full lock steering to the right, I get a similar knock sound as well. Is this a wheel bearing failure? My lower control arms, ball joints, tie rods, end links, ARBs, driveshafts, coilovers, top strut mounts are all relatively new (
The GTI varient has a slightly different carrier and has to be removed. Which is even more frustrating than the hub bolt. Those carrier bolts are hard to get to and tight as well.
SAlut g les moyeux arrière aussi a changer il font du bruit c tu quelle diamètres il fond 30 ou 32 sur le site auto doc il dise du 30 et d'autres dise du 32 sinon je vais demonté pour prendre les cotes erci
my Lord, on the mk5 rabbit in north america, the caliper carrier is covering the rotor and its impossible to take the rotor off without taking the caliper carrier off. its so freaking stupid.
Great video though. I am a bit concerned about loosening the hub bolts while on axle stands. I may remove the dust cover, put wheel back on lower it to ground so just beating weight then try and do initial loosen. It looks so tight!
No, the dust shield went rusty and broke so I just took it off. Yes if doing it on the floor that is a good option if you can get the socket through the wheel centre 👍 thanks for watching 😁
VW uses the four square wherever the home mechanic isnt supposed to go because they wil probably not have the tools to properly re assemble. It's a fucking pig anyway but there seems to be some reason to the madness.

Doesn't really sound like a wheel bearing problem. More like a shock/spring problem, I'd check out the coilovers to check everything is seated ok.
Great video what is the size of the multi spline socket used to remove the bearing bolt please?
It's a M18 spline socket
Is the spline socket the same as a triple square m18?

I had read that, sometimes it pays to be poverty spec 😁
Are the gt tdi's the sameM
I think it depends on if you have vented or solid rear discs, I had solid
How to find out by registration what size i need? 30 or 32 mm!
My local parts supplier were able to look it up on their database from my registration

Yes it seems higher spec models with vented discs have that problem! I was lucky 😁
No brake splash shield? 🤔

Es ist laut Hersteller nicht erlaubt die Zentralschraube zu kleben! 200NM und Gut
Just a little to be safe 👍
