    My son who is a trainee mechanic is just about to start this job, this video has been incredibly helpful. There are a number of self locking nuts that need to be replaced and used only once, might be good to add that in somewhere

    Use the spreader for removing from the strut as well as installation. Avoids all the hammering

    Oooh - Don't use the torque wrench to loosen the axel nut!! Use a breaker bar to loosen 1/2 turn, then back to torque wrench for the next 38 ftlbs, then back to breaker bar for the final 1/6th turn. It's not good to put that much extra stress on your expensive torque wrench. Use the cheap breaker bar!!

    Nice, where can I find one new like this for a 99 B5 2.8l v6 passat? I need my car back on the road asap and can not drive it til I replace the hub and don't have a press.. any info on where I could get a loaded hub/bearing/knuckle for my car would be appreciated.

    I just had my front passenger hub replaced and now the and light is on and ABS system isn't working along with traction control, ASR light is on right after moving a couple feet. The brake light and chime are in but if you press the air recirculation button right next to the AC button the red light on the cluster and chime turns right off, like it's a switch our somethings crossed. And it all happened after having both hubs replaced

    man that procedure on the hub nut just seems like some volkswagen tech manual writer is pulling a LOL on us.
    and also they say to replace almost every single bolt on this fricken car with a new one when changing things out... what a bunch of BS... give it a visual inspection and if it's still good reuse it.

    • @superdave19855
      @superdave19855 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not so. Some of these bolts are torque-to-yeild bolts. They do in fact stretch over time with stress. They need to be replaced when replacing these items. I speak from experience of not changing them when I should have. The subframe bolts started to back themselves out after about 500 miles. I had to replace them all. 25K miles later and no probs.

      It sounds like the sensors are too far away from the hubs, the correct distance is about the width of a hacksaw blade 3mm

    • @chrisprimavera8603
      @chrisprimavera8603 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's easy to break the sensor trying to remove it. There are fine wires inside connecting the coil to the sensor. I would just buy a new sensor along with the bearing assembly and ball joint.

      +ATCkeepsUsafe for some reason it still drive straight and the steering wheel was aligned straight also. I just got a alignment before that. I've replaced both control arms, ball joints, tie rods, tie rod ends, right after both hubs were replaced. Go on my channel and look at the video that says "catastrophic hub fail" or something like that. I was pissed off so bad that morning
