You mean torx? Lol
No, triple square.
Your new bearing slid onto stub axle easily. I have a 2004 VW GTI and bought a new stub axle and bearing for the car. The fitment is so tight that they will not mate together by hand at room temperature. If I freeze the stub axle, the bearing is able to slide onto the axle but just a little, not all the way, and it takes a lot of force. Why is it so much harder to install the bearing on a MKIV vs the MKV? I bought the F & A & G brand stub axle and bearing. I understand these are excellent bearings but getting them mated together is a nightmare. Do you have any advice for easy assembly? What special tools or assembly procedures should I use?
Brilliant video guys. Thanks for taking the time. I bought a 4 lbs sledge hammer for this. I put a 32oz ball peen hammer against the big bolt that holds the hub on and hit it with that 4 lbs hammer 20 times.
My triple square bit is long and can accommodate a deep well socket and room for a combination wrench too, I didn't have any help, so I put the combo wrench parallel to the ground and used a bottle jack to put some lefty Lucy pressure on it, then got 180 degrees on the other side with the high impact 3 foot, 1/2 inch breaker bar and used my foot and leg strength to break it loose. It breaks loose softly and not suddenly. On the left side I used a piece of ply wood to protect my shin bone, but did not do this on the other side.
I highly recommend doing both left and right at the same time. It make sense that they fail as there's no grease zerk for scheduled servicing. My daughter's failed and got noisy at 70K miles.
You need...
14 mm triple square
18 mm triple square
16 mm combination wrench
19 mm combination wrench
16 mm for hex drive of the 14 mm triple square to break loose the bolts that hold the caliper mount to the axle.
19 impact socket, 1/2" drive
1/2" breaker bar
Just changed one. Bending breaker bars just like you on that 18mm triple square. Got the bolt red hot and it came out like it owed me money. Heat is your friend 👍🏻👍🏻
Yes still stuck after PB Blaster, hammering, trying with 2ft beaker bar, 1/2 inch 3 square socket. Will also need to use heat. But not looking forward to going with in with a flame close to the gas tank. Have only propane, no welding torch, wish me luck.
Great video dude. Was really surprised at how tight mine was but found a 6ft cheater bar and leaned real hard.
Thanks for taking the time to make the video.
Glad you got it done! Toughest bolt VW ever made space ship grade
we used a 4' pc of 2x2 steel tube
whatta tough bolt ,
so long extension and so much force,
great job . thanks for footage
NICE !!!!! ................. Good Man !! ............ Far and above the usual TH-cam offerings ! Appreciate the info on the triple squares and etc and etc
+treecounting Happy to help brother
Thanks for posting . That's one tight bolt . My bearing is fine (no noise )but is chewing the speed sensor . It says signal out of speck on my Blue Driver. Most likely the magnetic ring is rusted and compromised. I managed to undo the front axle bolts easy with my 24 inch barker bar but that one seams scary :) . I may try it on the ground with wheel on :)
We are retorquing to 180 ft-lbs and calling it a day. 180 degrees after 133 ft-lbs is insane.
thanks for this. i used a 1200 ft/lbs capable impact wrench and couldnt get it off...ill try the hammer trick, lol
Good work, prof repair
After going crazy with various length pipes, I finally got the rear axle nut off on 2006 MK5 Rabbit with Milwaukee M18 Impact wrench with sunex M14 triple square with 1/2 to 3/8 adapter!!
Took about two minutes of pounding and damn thing got loose!! My hands were a bit numb afterward! That Milwaukee impact is an amazing tool!
It's always counter clock wise right? On both sides?
Yes
Had to do the same, but didn't want to damage the hub bolt socket splines. Used a large nut (1.5") with a piece of hose inserted to push it into the hub bolt splined socket and hold it in place on the hub bolt. The nut stuck out past the hub race enough to wack it with a 20lb sledge hammer. Also used a propane torch, eventually cam loose.
men you are soooo good,
thankyou so much for the video realy helpful.
+Filiberto Vargas glad 2 help mayne
..NO NEED TO REMOVE THE CALIPER CARRIER...!!! JUST REMOVE THE CALIPER AND THE DISC WILL WIGGLE OUT PAST THE CARRIER. SAVES A LOT OF GRIEF.
I think I'm ready to buy a new car. I have a 2007 Jetta 2.5 sedan. Took my wheel off and realized I need a 24mm socket for the axle bolt. Had to drive to the store to get it. I purchased a set of triple squares. Checked out my new FAG brand bearing and it needs a T60 torx for the 4 bolts, NOT triple square. Have to go to the store to get the T60. I tried to take off the axle bolt, broke my breaker bar. Tried to remove another bolt and broke a ratchet. Got almost everything off and it's time for the 4 bolts behind the bearing hub. M12 triple square is too big, M10 is too small. Had to order an M11 triple square bit on amazon. The correct triple square bit finally came. Just went outside to take off the 4 M11 bolts and they just stripped. I sprayed a ton of PB blaster days ago, and I sprayed a ton before doing the job today. Any advice on how to remove stripped triple square bolts? This thing is a nightmare.
Excellent Video. Everything you need to know except caliper torque which is 66 ft/ibs plus 1/4 turn. May need to get 18, 1/2 inch triple square online if auto parts doesn't have it. Gary
Got a lifetime warranted 1/2in drive set of M14, 16, 18 from O'Reilly for $12.95. Best I could do in a pinch.
I got lucky. I just hopped a bit on my 2ft breaker bar and that M18 bolt gave way real easy!
Must be the fact I’m 225lbs :)
BIG BOSS! Thanks for watching
@@LehewTech I think it’s easier if you lower the car down so you can stand on the breaker bar handle. Two skinny fellas can hop on too. The way you were doing it requires you to pull down. My way your on top and just push as you stand on it.
That’s hell on your shoulders, be careful!
Have a good night
Good stuff. Is it the same size bolt and torque specs for the Mk6 Jetta (2011)? I got drum brakes in the rear and trying to swap to disc brakes but can’t get the bearing cap off for the life of me let alone don’t know what size axle bolt is behind it
Nice vid. Cant tell you home many times ive sheared 1/2 to 3/8 step downs definitely learned my lesson.
Do the hub assembly's always slide off like that once the bolt comes off?
The official service manual showed a special pulling tool, implying that at times the hub assemblies will be stuck to the spindle. In my experience, hub assemblies of this style come off easily (might require hammering and evenly prying on opposite sides of the hub.)
What brand is the bendy breaker bar? Not seen a breaker bar flex so much. Eye protection required!
I have a 2007 VW Jetta
How many splines does it have so I get the right one
It's always counter clockwise right? Both sides
Hello, thank you for the video. i have a 2011 Jetta se with horrible noise coming from the rear. My problem is i have drum brakes. Would you know or have an ideal if how i need to go about replacing that bearing? Or tackling my situation?
Thank you so much for your time!
Ed
It's basically the same steps once you take the drum off, maybe watch a video on how 2 replace rear brake shoes, so you won't damage anything like the springs or wheel cylinder from banging on the hub assembly . thanks & good luck
Does anyone know if the Milwaukee High-Torque impact can remove this bolt?
is the amazon part in your link recommended? i just ordered part from advance for $130 compared to the one you have for 37
199 Gonzalez if you want to save $90
From all I have researched, the initial torque is 200Nm. The finishing torque is an additional 180deg with the wheels on the ground. Bought a 3/4in drive 40in long breaker bar and a chrome-molly impact socket to attain this when replacing my front, same spec.
trying to remove my bearing/ hub and it just does not slide out HELP
What if you stripped that bolt
its a torque to yield bolt - I trust you used a new one
No anti sieze on any of the parts during assembly?
Project Time no need, things don't rust or corrode out here
I use copper paste/lube on everything but I'm in new england so....
torque moment 180nm and 180 degres is too much i think..... its crazy big moment from VW!!!
Can i re-use the main bolt?
According to VW you must replace it because it stretches as you torque it.
Cómo se llama ese tornillo o como se pide para comprarlo
How come you didn't put heat to that bolt? Is that something you'd suggest. Video well done!
I would have used heat if the hammer didn't work. My hammer was nearby and worked, the torch was not close by. If you do use heat, you may wish to remove the wheel speed sensor from the spindle to avoid melting it.

Someone could tell me what measure are the nuts that brings back the two that hold the ballatas minute 1:10 I'm sorry if I write wrong but it's because I'm Mexican and I'm just learning English greetings
Ezequiel Charles you need a set of triple square bits. The size for the bolts in the back are 14 mm triple square. Necesitas un juego de bits cuadrados triples. El tamano de los tornillos atras son 14 mm cuadrados triples.
Lehew Tech thaks bro
Gonna do one of these tomorrow, I'll bet money my big milwaukee half inch gun will break that bolt loose, provided it doesn't break the triple square first lol
Good luck!
@@LehewTech he has no chance,
Did the Milwaukee do the job? I'm thinking of getting one too, but this bolt looks like it's one there.
@@cuzimadapapushkian799 if any power tool breaks that free it wasn't torqued to spec..
Update, Milwaukee broke it free like butter, I mean it does do 1400 ft lbs in reverse 🤷🏻♂️
In all honesty does VW really need to have it that tight?
Hey - is that a bit of tool abuse going on there ? You used a flathead screwdriver to get that cap off the hub. As the famous Scotty (probably) used to say " ya gotta use the right tool fer the right job"
But seriously - great job and great video, although I could hardly bear to watch when I saw that big breaker bar bending the way it did.
Just wondering, but would a little, or a lot, of heat helped here? Discuss
Surely that must of been part cross threaded or way over tightened ?
No, that was the factory-installed part. The bolt has thread-locker on it.
I see, I have seen video`s with a similar problems undoing a motorcycle front gearbox sprocket, I was told part of the cause is the bolt getting hot and cold during use helping them fuse together
That will indeed cause the two to get stuck together. Another thing that happens is if the two components are of different alloys they will corrode over time when they are in contact with each other.
looked like blue lock tight lol that sure was stuck on there
@@zackz1260 new bolts both front and rear have 'red' locktite.
Where I can 18 mm triple square?
ebay all day. can get a decent set of all the most common triple square sockets for under 30$.
Just get a brand that has a lifetime warranty. I had a cheaper set and the M12 twisted torqueing to 70ftlbs + 90deg. Also, don't use the smaller sizes below M8 with a air impact.
Man you must be a year one tech... add heat to head of bolt than take bolt off like a professional tech.
Wouldnt do much as the threads with the locktite are located a few inches away from the head of the bolt. In the interest of time, a hammer is faster to deploy than dragging out the torch and setting it up.
Thinking you need a torch for everything is the sign of a year one mechanic.
everyones a fucking pro nowadays.....the hub came off and new one on. job complete no heat
I absolutely hate these type of screws
ive seen some say 90 after the 133ft lb and some say 180 , so confusing. BTW i jumped up and down on my BB and got it , car had 593 km on it and a northern car. What a MOFO of a bolt.
130 foot pounds and half a turn from the Bentley
Camera in a wrong position.... everything is getting dark.
Bruh. Messy shop floor. Leave the calliper hanging on the hose. Bad habits, dude.
Dont beat your car with a hammer! I dont want anyone breaking anything, but like me, you may get away with your jack leaver on the end of you 1/2 inch stanly rachet for the nut.
You cpuld actually make it wors with a sledgehammer
