Introduction

Work carried out on a Renault Twingo 2 phase 2, 1.5 dCi 75hp engine.

This is a car that I bought second-hand, I have neither a user manual nor a technical guide, so I don't know the capacities or the tightening torques.

The new bearing has a mounting direction, the magnetic side of the bearing must be in contact with the ABS sensor.

The new bearing is a SKF VKBA 3637.

For this intervention, I needed specific tools such as a press, a set of extraction discs and a bearing separator.

  1. First remove the universal joint nut using a 30mm socket. Remove the wheel: Securing the vehicle Remove the wheel: Securing the vehicle
  2. Using a 16mm combination wrench and a T30 torx bit, remove the nut then uncouple the connecting rod.

    • Place the rocket in a vise.

    • Place a Ø37mm disc at the rear of the rocket.

    • Tap the disc with a tube and hammer to remove the hub.

  12. Use a press to push the bearing out.
    • Use a press to push the bearing out.

    • Spread the shims far enough apart so as not to block the bearing .

    • The support surface is very small.

  13. I used a bearing separator to try to get the inner race out. Poor result on the hub. So I didn't insist and used the grinder.

    • New part

    • With the new bearing comes a circlip, a nut and an ABS sensor mounting ring. I did not use the latter.

  16. This bearing is equipped with a magnetic impulse ring. It is imperative that the impulse ring is opposite the ABS sensor when mounting the bearing. Insert the new bearing into the spindle.
    • This bearing is equipped with a magnetic impulse ring. It is imperative that the impulse ring is opposite the ABS sensor when mounting the bearing.

    • Insert the new bearing into the spindle.

    • To do this, I placed the bearing on the shims, then the spindle and then a square piece of steel on which I lean to press.

    • Once the rocket is in contact with the shims, I release the pressure, place a disc - whose diameter is 1mm smaller than the diameter of the bearing - between the shims and the bearing , then I press again so that the bearing reaches the stop.

    • Finally, place the new circlip.

  17. First of all, you must place a Ø65mm disc on the inside of the spindle to prevent the hub from driving out the inner ring of the bearing . Place the hub under the spindle and press. The rest of the reassembly is carried out in reverse order.
