The tie rod was never a problem on this design, however the bolt holding the upper control arm ball-joints, in place, has always been the real pain. This is why it is recommended to lube it even if no replacement is needed. I recommend plentiful of Mobil Synthetic Lube every 15k miles and that problem will never be a problem again. For first loosening if stuck, I recommend an air-impact hammer with a pointer chisel bit hammering the bolt with the attached (a few spins) nut so that it will not allow the chisel bit to migrate. Before doing so I recommend spraying some penetrating solution.

+A Dude I am working at this problem at the moment (At the date of this comment). My B5.5 is 15 years old and most of the items I have been replacing so far are stock parts. This section how ever is a pain in the butt. All bolts on the outer tie rod are removable as you said with lubs & PB plasters and a little bit of patience. But the actual tie rod is some pain. I am working on a solution that would involve cutting off the actual tie rod at the end of the threads before it meets the nut, and to take out he remaining bit with a reverse threaded screw remover. Hopefully would work tomorrow. Of course my new replacement outer tie rod is awaiting installation after wards.

I would stay away from cutting! My take would be to completely detach the tie rod from the steering rack and work on it on your bench. I'll look to see if I can find some photos I shot while doing that myself.

Great video very good information.

Im working on my passat for 5 days now and got nothing but problems , bolts breaking off and things not coming loose at all. In reality its a piece of crap to work on 😆 but its a nice car to drive though. Its already a 20 year old model but still great.

Never try to open bolts with brute force. Always use rust eating chemicals (both oil based and stuff that's meant to remove rust by soaking such as evaporust), lots of soak time and hammering action instead of brute force and the bolts will not snap. And reserve about 3 hours per big bolt for these old cars. And I think these cars are still great but the rust is just pain in the butt for repairs. If you're in hurry, consider purchasing or renting induction heater for bolts.

If you ever want to use my B5.5 Passat in one of your videos let me know 🤙🤙. Just tuned 166K miles

So much hate in comments. I just did this same repair on 3b passat and this helped much. Video only shows basic overview of the job and you can easily figure out rest by yourself.

Why not use a hub puller / bearing puller kit ? then you don't need to remove all those rusted bolts that would probably break and the stub axle can stay on the car while you replace bearing / hub.

Totally fake, not once do we hear the guy threaten to burn the pos to the ground. Seriously though it is a very good display and gives you a good idea of whats involved. Oh and by the way the newest B5.5 is 15 years old so that tie rod bolt will be the biggest part of the job,

The video demonstrates how to do the job if the bearing was replaced last time about a year ago. If it has been there longer and previous installation didn't use copper grease for *every* bolt, expect worlds of pain to get those bolts and ball joints released.

just did one today , whats mind blowing is there is no seal between axle and bearing , they have a weep hole at bottom of cavity to allow water and debris in and out also calliper holders do not use SS abutment clips for pads to ride on and causes rust between them and binder pads up , German engineering at its finest wha a POS

Why you dosn't using torque wrench? Why you dosn't use grees for screws or nuts? Why you dosn't cleaning the wheel hub and breake disc? The show is perfect but the job?

Thank you for the feedback! This video is familiarized and some obvious technical nuances have been missed to save time.Best regards, Autodoc.

My main problem with this video is it has nothing to do with reality. The hub assembly has been pre-loosened so he is not showing many protective, common-sense, crucial steps. In addition the music is annoying and the Granimals Spiffy-Wear is absolutely ridiculous. Watch other videos for a more realistic depiction of how this job is done.
