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.
-
-
First remove the universal joint nut using a 30mm socket.
-
Remove the wheel: Securing the vehicle
-
-
-
Using a 16mm combination wrench and a T30 torx bit, remove the nut then uncouple the connecting rod.
-
-
-
Using a socket and an 18mm combination wrench, remove the 2 nuts and the screw on the inside, then uncouple the ball joint from the wishbone.
-
-
-
If you have difficulty uncoupling the ball joint, you can use a crowbar or a crowbar to pry the arm off while pushing against the stabilizer bar.
-
-
-
Using an 18mm socket, remove the 2 screws.
-
Place the caliper on the triangle.
-
The caliper must not rest on its hose!
-
-
-
Using a socket and an 18mm combination wrench, remove the 2 bolts.
-
You can use a pin punch to remove the screws.
-
-
-
I used a disc set for bearing extraction.
-
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.
-
-
-
-
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.
-
Be careful not to damage the tree.
-
-
-
-
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.
-
-
-
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.
