Introduction
It is advisable to change both bearings but this is not an absolute obligation.
-
-
The car must be on level ground
-
loosen the wheel studs using the ratchet and 17mm socket
-
chock another wheel to prevent the car from moving and release the handbrake
-
jack up the car, put a jack stand on it, lower the jack
-
-
-
Completely unscrew the 4 wheel studs with the ratchet and 17mm socket
-
remove the wheel
-
put the wheel under the car for safety
-
-
-
unscrew the drum retaining screw (in red photo 1) with the Torx T30 key
-
use an impact screwdriver if necessary, it is an extremely effective tool for this task
-
apply penetrating oil to the hub bearing surface (in yellow, photo 2)
-
if the drum is difficult to remove, insert 8mm screws into the threads (circled in blue photo 3) and screw to help extraction
-
You can give small hammer blows all around the drum to help get it out.
-
-
-
behind the brake disc, apply penetrating oil to the screws
-
undo:
-
the abs sensor by unscrewing the torx T30 screw
-
the hub-bearing fixing screws with the ratchet and 12mm socket
-
remove the hub-bearing, taking care to keep the brake plate in place
-
A bronze jet can be used to free the hub-bearing but avoid pulling on the brake line that goes to the brake cylinder (in blue)
-
-
-
compare the two parts and make sure they are identical
-
clean the range and use brake cleaner
-
clean the screw threads with a wire brush
-
-
-
grease the bearing to facilitate future disassembly
-
present the hub-bearing (ABS sensor upwards)
-
The brake backing plate is sandwiched between the axle and the hub-bearing. Everything needs to be aligned properly.
-
to squeeze:
-
the 4 hub-bearing screws at 55 Nm (apply thread lock)
-
the abs sensor (clean it if necessary) at 8Nm
-
-
-
Place the drum and align it with the hub
-
A thin film of anti-seize paste can be applied to the hub to facilitate future disassembly.
-
Tighten the T30 torx screw holding it to 5Nm
-
-
-
Present the wheel and tighten the studs with the ratchet wrench and 17mm socket.
-
A film of copper grease can be applied to the threads
-
Raise the car slightly with the jack, remove the jack stand and lower the car.
-
Finish tightening the studs with the torque wrench, torque of 100Nm
-
Remove the shims on the other wheel

Impossible de sortir le moyeu du support de frein
Même en tapant .wd40....
Arghhh
Thanks for this feedback =) that's also what I thought, especially since many mechanics don't put any in.
I put 65Nm rather than 55Nm => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjWRUZJq...
Hello, thanks for the tutorial, I tightened to 65nm (other pre-order elsewhere) but I used blue thread lock (normal) should I have used red thread lock?
THANKS
Hello, I think the blue threadlocker will work just fine. The red one would be a bit too strong in my opinion.
