A well presented video! Some pointers, 1. Don't tap a metal bearing with a steel hammer, use a soft face hammer or a block of wood. 2. Wire wheel brush any bolts and nuts you remove. 3. Smear the strut base with small amount of grease to help the refit. 4. Don't let the hub touch the CV boot on reassembly. Just a small tear in the boot and it needs replacing. The bottom arm ball joint nut on these VWs is one stubborn individual! A very useful video series, much appreciated.

To unmount the knuckle you will need a "knuckle spreader" instead of hammering down the knuckle. Also, to the viewers that have never done this, do not expect the ball joint or steering arm to come out easily. It will be a pain. Another observation, when taking the hub from the bearing, the bearing will leave a ring that will be stuck there. You will need to either use a torch to heat it up or use a special extractor to take it out. Again, When parts sit installed in car for a long time they will want to stay that way and refuse to leave easily...

Agree 100%. I always use a knuckle spreader, which makes life so much easier. Also, not sure if others do it, but I'll put some antiseize on the strut so it slides in easier, and if the knuckle is old and rusty, lightly use a wire wheel to get rid of surface rust when putting the knuckle back on, of course, using the spreader bit as well.

Yeah, they forgot that gritty little detail. I'm part way through this work on my Audi TT (same chassis as shown here, just different body). I used an on-the-car puller set that I'm happy to say worked like a charm. I was able to remove and replace the bearings without removing the spindle from the strut. I will be doing that anyway, as I'll be replacing the struts, but as I do not have a press and it's not easy for me to get to a shop that has one, the $40.00 hub puller set was a great investment! Removing that race from the hub really sucked though...I had to grind away about 95% of the race's cross-section before it would move. I couldn't get it to crack with a chisel anywhere along the way. The ABS ring prevents you from using a bearing separator as well. I did put a few shallow nicks from my Dremel in the hub...I hope that won't compromise it.

If the bearing is pressed into the hub and dismantled separately, then it is necessary to press out and then press on a new one. There are hubs in the assembled condition with bearings and the entire hub must be replaced and the bearing does not need to be pressed out.

Get a wheel bearing removal kit , so you dont have to use a press 😊,

I like how the bearing just fell out... Real life.. Clamp the knuckle in the biggest bench vice you can find and proceed to tighten till your skin peels off. Beat the living crap out of the bearing to watch the inner race fall out with the hub still attached! Then spend another hour carefully grinding and beating the race till it cracks off the hub. Maybe a few shards of bearing implanted in your face, hands and arms. Swear it all in its beauty. Ofcourse followed by pushing the seized outer race/casing with a 10 ton press... All good fun FYI Autodoc, the process is great. However the general audience watching these videos arent experinced mechanics and dont have the eye to just have a go. Preparing the watcher / wanabe Edd china's with usefull information for their decent into hell may be good. Seized bolts, strut stuck in knuckle and ofcourse bearings that have watched 127 hours too many times.

Draw the bearing according to our video tutorial; Сorrect mounting and tightening torque of the hub is also necessary. If you have any difficulties, we recommend contacting the service of your car. AUTODOC

For next time: -Use anti cease paste between the bearing and hub and the between shock absorber and hub. -Don’t knock on the bearing with a sledge/hammer, use a rubber or plastic one if you must. -Don’t tighten the screws and nuts with the impact wrench, it’s to inaccurate and totally wrong and to much torque! You should only use it to loosen the screws and nuts!! -Use my advice for more sell ups in your videos 😉

Ah yes, the torque wrench

I would've attached the brake rotor first before putting the caliper assembly on. Also, I don't think it's always good to impact on the nuts for the outer tie rods. When I've installed them on my car, I usually need to counterhold with both a box wrench and a hex bit. An impact might be nice for removal, but not necessarily for reinstallation. Otherwise, the video was a good refresher (haven't done this on an A4 in over a year).

When you're doing the reassembly, when inserting the strut base back into the hub, you risk damaging the CV boot the way its done in the video. My preference is to remove the strut and insert into hub off the car.

Outer tie rods must have been replaced prior to filming 2:44. They never come out that easy unless shiny. He didn't even need to hammer the ball joint, he actual touched it and it was already loose 3:54. I recommend removing the 3 13mm bolts front the control arm and not the ball joint unless its an R32 or TT. The only thing i can confirm true is when he hammered the wheel bearing with 1 strike. That wheel bearing was extremely worn out to come out that easy. And I know the wheel bearing failed shortly after completion of job because he reused the same hub. The hubs are pressed, and it takes much more than a light hammer tap to remove. I wish maintenance was this easy lol
