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 is an SKF VKBA 3525.

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

Using a flat screwdriver and a hammer, remove the nut cover.
