Hi Erik. This is one of the best instruction videos I have seen on the net. To the point and not the least gives the right steps, including smart shortcuts like not removing the break pads to save time. I replaced my bearing on a 2004 (360 000 km) my son uses yesterday in less than one hour, including painting works on the breakdisk shield. I did one thing different than you to avoid hammering the bearing out, as I was not sure which side was really bad, or if it was the diff, and then might have to re-install the old one on this side... I did not unscrew the bolts from the bearing housing completely but left 3-4 threads in, then took an extention to a socket and hit the nut head from behind the wheelhub. That drive the bearing housing out of the flange nicely and I could remove it with the hand once it was loose. Last time on the front I struggled a lot. Thanks again. I will search for more of your videos. Best regards from Norway. Pål

Glad to hear I could help! Yes, I've used the bolts as a striking spot to help jar one of these loose, but That wasn't working with this one so I went to plan B. Hammer time!

@@FarpointFarms Hi Again, Are you good at the CANBUS on these cars? Mine is causing problems such as blanking out the dashboard, setting the CEM to Emergency Mode etc. Once the doors looked (for good almost) and had to break in. We checked the modules in the front for corrosion (CEM and Gearbox control) with no improvement.... is it only an osciloscope that can analyse the bus? When I reset the car it runs for months - then an error comes along. Annoying. Otherwise a great car I must say. A real workhorse.

This post was SPOT ON! Made the job easy and the time saving tips were appreciated! Thank you for your help!

Thank you for this video, I got lucky and only needed a ring spanner on that awful hidden 17mm nut. I dropped the car down onto an axle stand positioned under the lower swingarm to push the suspension up and it give me a tiny bit more room. God knows how you got that 17mm socket in there!

Liked the brake trick going to try it on my ram 4/4 thanks

Excellent tutorial. Just want to add if you hit the hub from the side instead of the top when trying to remove it it will come out easier. By hitting it from the top the hub flange is working against you. From the side the flange isn’t as pronounced.

Great video, Erik! I did all four hubs on my 2005 XC70 recently and all four had seized splines on the driveshafts. The two rears broke out at the back with penetrant and a normal 3-legged puller, one of the fronts came out with heat, penetrant and the puller, but the last hub flange had to be cut into pieces with a grinder while still on the car after I’d unfastened the inboard end of the driveshaft, refastened the carrier bolts, and smashed it out of the carrier/race with a hydraulic puller. That’s what 17 years of British road salt can do over 160,000 miles. I later found out that people are selling built up front driveshafts and hubs so you can skip this particular misery…I wish I’d found that first! All that being said, the difference in sound in the cabin and ride quality is amazing. And imho they’re great vehicles so worth the effort. And I would recommend the OEM bearings from SKF. They’re not much more expensive here in the UK than pattern parts and about every 17 years is the right interval for this job!

Very nice I like your style I actually have three different questions I just bought my first Volvo the other day 01 v70 2.4 l I found out very quickly that it's growing on high-speed turns I just went through this with my Chrysler I didn't replace the rear wheel bearings on my Sebring though I probably will on this Volvo so the first question is what is the best part for this car without breaking the bank and is this wheel bearing all I need for it? Second question and this is just as important because again I just went through this with my Chrysler it has a misfire on the scanner and cylinder 3 and says the coil c and primary are not working correctly resulting in a misfire in three. Or is it a timing issue cuz the car ended up having a timing issue and blew the oil filter right off the motor Chrysler the Volvo has 181,000 on it I would imagine check the timing or change the timing belt first you tell me....

It's not bad. The bushings are snug with rust in the bolt holes if you live in a salty area, other than that its pretty normal.

I realize this is an older post, but I seem to have the same problem on my 2004 XC70- same wheel as you, the right rear. My question is; what hub assembly did you purchase. There is a wide range in price. I don't mind paying a premium if the part is worth it, but do if there in no difference with a less expense alternative. Thanks, Tim

I bought cheep ones. 3 years and 30k later, i'm doing it again. It's not a job you want to do twice. This time with volvo branded SKF bearings. From what I've since found out, cheep bearings are fine for commuting but degrade faster on long trips. Shop around though, the dealer was asking twice what I ended up paying.

Never heard a piston called a puck before today. It makes sense though. You in Canada or something?

Excellent vid, Eric. I have a 2004 xc70 with 150k that has a slight grinding noise coming from the back. Can hear it best at slow speed when coasting to a stop. What are the chances of this being a bad wheel bearing and not the rear axle diff.? Changed the rear axle oil recently but still hear grinding. Are there any steps I can take to narrow it down?

You have not mentioned torque specs for any of these bolts. Or did I miss something?. Not that a torque wrench can fit in on some of them. All I saw you do was hit the wrench with a hammer and then apply brute and experienced force or finish up with your air ratchet. I read elsewhere 89 ft lbs for the axle bolt ( the spline to spline union) Is that correct? I am trying to find the wheel bearing assembly bolt torque specs as well as the little tiny rotor and caliper to flange bolts torque specs. Great amd very reassuring video for the project I need to do though! Thanks!

I am not 100% sure on the torque specs on it- I would see if you can go to a volvo forum to double check- they usually have the specs listed in there- Being a mechanic for many years- we have our own spec called 'good-n-tight' You kinda know how tight is tight

V70/S60/C70 should all be very much the same. 1993 to 2008 are all about the same if my memory serves.

Cannot find a single video for a 2002 Volvo S60 Na P2 platform on "rear" wheelbearing/hub replacement. The S60 front wheel drive, obviously has no CV axel out back, there is no center nut on the rotor assembly. Looks to me like 2 of the lower bolts holding the hub assembly are nearly impossible to remove as the spring is in the way. I just want to see what else i must remove to gain asses to the lower bolts.

Had a mechanic replacing that one for me a while ago and now the bearing (and rotor) get's slightly warm while driving. Is it possible too much torque has been used during the assembly and the bearing can't move freely, causing the area to heat up?
