This man has done a great job...and in a groud position... no talking, just working... so many others like talking ... and just talking... all the best to you....Thank you!!!
Thanks. Yea, the last time I had a mechanic do this job the bearing wore out in a few thousand miles. I think they must've installed it with a hammer...
@@dirtbagd89 he didn't have to assemble with a hammer he pressed in behind the hub damaging the inner race of the bearing. for this type of bearing you need a tool or some cleverness. we press in behind the outer race of the bearing without damaging it. unfortunately, mechanics take shortcuts. also 99% of mechanics don't know how to unscrew the steering rods and they ruin the steering gears
good job . i have a feeling that this tool if its genuine costing same as a car . impact wrench would strip the treads , hollow hydraulic ram way to go . 👍👍👍
Must be in a really corrosive environment, never seen such a rusty control arm, this is a handy tool I have one and it makes this an easy job you may have to use WD and tap with hammer just to break the grip . I just wonder what causes this amount of rust.
Not only this salt , škoda had problem with this , the same is Octavia , is low quality of steel to year 2010 is absence of anti rust protect. And if y usually park on grass y do this with all brands.
It would be pretty difficult. Your best bet would be to remove the hub assembly from the car. Then you might be able to punch the old bearing out in a press or with a big hammer. Getting the new bearing in without damaging the ball races would be almost impossible though. You'd have to make a collar that goes behind the flange and sits on the outer ball race. Good luck!
It would be better with talking rather than "no talking". If it is supposed to be instructables video, not a promotion how good mechanic you are. For instance 1:25 you remove the ball joint like nothing. How did you do that? For me it is always big problem to disconnect it.

Hi John. Where I live the roads are salted for about 6 months of the year. You can see the impact this has had on the car. Thanks for your comment!

I have some experience from a T5 (almost same bearing setup)
Adding some heat to the wheel hub might ease the extraction.

Thanks for the tip.
Any way of doing this job without that bearing puller? Just some threaded bar and intuition?

Just bought mine from eBay about £50
Why so negative about his car? Totally irrelevant.

what is the torque spec for the axle nut?
50Nm then another 45 degrees.
What size is the Axel nut?@@dirtbagd89
Nice tool where did you get it?
I got it second hand off facebook marketplace. If you look up '9N 72mm wheel bearing tool' on ebay you should find what you need.
Just cost me £300 to have this done at a main dealer, (on an 07)
Crazy prices.
Can't work out which is rustier, your car or your scaffolding!
Ha, yea it's all the same shade of orange...
I thought my car is junk but comparing to your mine is brand new
