Best golf wheel bearing tutorial I've seen on KZread. Thanks!

This was so FAST and no BS just watch and do. PERFECT.

This video saved me 150$ for labour at a volkswagen dealer.

Thanks. The Project GTI video was very helpful. We changed both rear wheel hub on my son's 2012 GTI last night--her has 109k on the car. ONe bearing came apart when we removed it. Part of it was stuck to the wheel assembly and we couldn't figure out why the new bearing looked so different... after we pried it off, the new one went on w/out a hitch. I do recommend fully removing the brake caliper carrier so you can easily remove the rotor. One of our hub nuts did NOT want to come off. I soaked with Penetrating Blaster and applied heat and finally said a prayer! That combo seemed to work, perhaps as the bolt or surrounding components started to cool, the seal broke just enough--use a BIG breaker bar.

Just wanted to give a heads up for MK6 Golf R owners. I used this video as a resource to reference when doing my rear wheel bearings. I bought a kit from ECS tuning that included 2 rear wheel bearings already complete and ready to install with hardware. When I attempted to do this job it was actually much different. The whole hub included from the ECS tuning site needs bolts taken out that hold the original one in place which can only be accessed from the inner wheel well where the shock is. There is no room for a breaker bar unless you take the shock off and maybe take out the control arm and possibly the spring. Didn't feel comfortable doing all that so I ended up calling a mechanic to help me out. Just wanted to warn others with Golf Rs that this job is a bit more complicated than the GTI model or standard Golf. Im sure others feel comfortable with all that, but im sort of a newbie trying to learn to do my own work.

Dont need to take the caliper off the carrier, just take off the whole break assembly. Also do not use an impact on the axle nut

Very different to the earlier Golfs (I have a video of that on my channel... one of the few where the parts didn't come from Micks!). Nice work!

Is this the same for a Mk6? Just bought one today and the far side rear is humming!

Hi, great video. I've got a bad wheel bearing I'm sure the vibration n noise goes away turning right.but the noise sounds like it's from the rear? How can I be sure which one it is?

Nice tutorial, Thanks. Those Kast bearings are rubbish though. If it's anything like my the set I put on my MK4 you've already replaced them again by now.

great video. thanks, it is 180 NM plus 180 degrees turn? thanks

Hey ik heb een vraag weet jij misschien waar de nokkenas sensor is op een golf 5 gti 2006

Do you need to remove the hub to remove the dust cover

Mick, how do you get access to the carrier bolts if the car isn't on ramps? great videos, I've subscribed

Any video how to clean the egr valve in vw transporter t5 please.

That’s so easy even I could do it

Are they Diamond cut 17's?

Can you retreat the brake disc without removing the brake caliper support?

Yes you can. I couldn’t get the calliper bolt off so I loosened the bearing and pulled the rotor off.

This is a great video shows the whole process. @ 2:03, you used a drill from inside and hummer, what's that for? I'm thinking that's probably hardest part of the whole process?

Looks like he's using an impact gun extension

Did the car ever got a proper tune?

I need 133ft lbs and could get 180 with all my strentgh but the beating didn’t spin as freely as that

Why take the caliper off the carrier? Can't you just take the whole lot off at the carrier bolts

Are you sure it is m14 & m18 spline bit? In other videos they are talking about the m14 & m16 bit. I also need to change my rearwheel bearing and i need to order these tools.
