Great informative videos. Ofcourse everything is going to be seized and a nightmare. But at least learn the repair operations. Attempting this job this weekend wish me luck.
It depend where you live. Because we tried to replace bearing now its two days of work. We hope it will end tomorow. We had to take extra tools like troch breakar bar, angle grinder and ect. ( Sorry for terible english)
As can be seen at 2:22, the 36mm socket has been machined. It would be nice if you could let us know the actual external diameter this socket had been machined to.
Hey, it's a bit misleading - lots of stuff has been prepared/loosened beforehand.....you'd almost certainly need to put the ball joint splitter on the upper suspension BJ and have trouble splitting the lower BJ (tool probably won't fit on arm), then undoing the axle nut is usually very difficult necessitating a breaker bar (strong & long lever equipped with 1/2 or 3/4" driver) & even pipe extension, then a hub puller to get it off the driveshaft splines and finally a bearing press tool to get the bearing out and a new one into the hub. Tapping with a hammer as here???! Encourage people to do the job themselves and buy the parts at great prices yes; mislead them into thinking it's going to be easy without the special tools....no

I just did this yesterday after seeing this video and it took me a freaking 4 hours to complete. Everything was stuck and the hub nut didn't come off without two men. Also I had to cut some metal off of my tool to get it fit to the hub nuts place. And all this leaving me with broken ABS sensor because it surely didn't come of that easily... Now I have to replace that too. I got the bearing in and its nice but the process was not that easy to do. The video is nice in the way that it shows every nut and bolt you need to take off, but it would have been nice to get some warnings in the video that everything may be so stuck that it will take more time than 15 to 30 minutes. Also I would like to know where I can get the right size socket for the hub nut... I needed to make that tool myself...
Thank you for the feedback!This video is considered to be an informative one, and it shows the sequence of repairs.Stay tuned and follow our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.
For the 36mm socket I machined one myself ashallow for this job and a deep one to do 105 series gearboxes and 116 series propshafts ...also a 19mm machined down for the same

Just had to get my garage to do 2 of these on my 147.Horrific sound was coming everytime i got faster in my car.Knew straight away what it was .Got both bearings for 63 quid on ebay.My local store wanted 65 quid for one.Know where i,m getting my 147 stuff from now.
Thank you for your feedback! You are absolutely right, we are already using a torque wrench showing all tightening torques in our new videos. Best Regards, Autodoc Team!
How to mislead everyone into thinking they can do the job themselves! No torque wrench settings for the wheel bearing then? The bearing may last a week or two without the proper setting but hey, it's only about how you look these days and not what's real! How to modify the 36mm socket without a lathe is not something non mechanics will know how to do but again they won't know that until they start the job right?
@@autodocuk Oh dear..., guess my blood sugar was too low! Now that I have had a cookie I can say that I did take some value from your video. I have found that if the wheel bearing is not an O.E.M. it can sometimes mess with the ABS system and drive it totally hay wire! These are not easy cars to work on for sure. Thanks for the video.

Thank you for the feedback! The size of the part corresponds to the size of the socket. Best Regards, Autodoc
The socket has to be machined to an outside diametre of 46mm, about 20 mm in to fit inside the spindle
Halfords 36mm socket needs the end grinding down, there's too much leading taper!

I didn't know an ALFA can last long enough for this service to be necessary 🤣
Thank you for your feedback! In our case there weren't any complaints after the replacement. Best regards, Autodoc.
Don't know much then do you?
