Introduction

It is advisable to change both bearings but this is not an absolute obligation.

  1. 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
    • 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

  2. Completely unscrew the 4 wheel studs with the ratchet and 17mm socket
    • Completely unscrew the 4 wheel studs with the ratchet and 17mm socket

    • remove the wheel

    • put the wheel under the car for safety

  3. 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)
    • 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.

  4. behind the brake disc, apply penetrating oil to the screws undo: the abs sensor by unscrewing the torx T30 screw
    • 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)

  5. compare the two parts and make sure they are identical clean the range and use brake cleaner
    • 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

  6. 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.
    • 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

  7. 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.
    • 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

  8. Present the wheel and tighten the studs with the ratchet wrench and 17mm socket.
    • 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

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.
