Perfect, that's the whole point of the channel. Let us know how you get on. You can do it 👍

Great informative video, I’ve just replaced both my rear wheel bearings, followed your instructions and it worked a treat! The kit I had might be slightly different, it didn’t look like it would pass the ABS sensor so I ground a flat edge to miss it. Also if you hadn’t mentioned about the ring getting stuck in the hub when pressing the new bearings I would have had that headache too! Hardest part was getting the new bearings to go in straight, I found gradually tightening up the press and using a block of wood to keep knocking the bearings into the correct alignment worked well. I’m going to plan to change the fronts now I have the confidence. Thanks for your help 👍🏻

Great news that you've done it and yes I've had another comment on the new bearing alignment. That is the trickiest part of the job. Keep us posted on how the front goes. You can do it 👍👍

Your video really helped me, thank you so much for sharing. I was scrupulous cleaning the rear seat to fit the guide (beside the abs sensor) and still had a little hassle getting the sleeve out when the new bearing was pushed home. I managed to get a slot ground on the top of it using my cordless angle grinder. A screwdriver in the slot and a tap with the hammer got it out. Thanks again your video was the best out of those I looked at 👍

Very clear and helpful video. Glad that I watched this before starting and highlighted the need for a correct puller tool. I am surprised how quickly they fail though; just 106,000 miles on our family Caravelle - I'd have expected a much better service life, alas seemingly not (for at least one of them anyway)!

Thks for the feedback. It's strange it always seem to be just one that goes. Caravelle and campers are heavy all the time so give the bearings a pasting. Which one was it ? I find the rears go more than the front probably because the rear wheels are fixed. You can do it 👍

Thanks for the feed back. If it's bad that will indeed work but a lot of the these bearings just won't spin that fast even with wheel on to give vibrations. Most feel fine when you rotate them and it's only under load and speed they reveal their true state. You can do it 👍
