How to change a front wheel bearing and wheel speed sensor (integrated) on an Astra H, a job I was doing as I had an ABS light showing on the instrument cluster.
Very helpful video bit different to another one I've seen on YT where there's not a spec of rust or dirt on it and all the bolts just seem to undo parts remove so easily I'm going to have a go at this if the rain would kindly go away Just one thing I did notice on another vid was once you undo the drive shaft nut you hammer the drive shaft inwards a bit to to free it up from the bearing, seems to save all the bashing with a hammer to get the bearing off 👍
Appreciate it mate, those types of videos are helpful for showing the process but they don't always capture the reality of working on an old, rusty car on your driveway
I’m not sure if the wheel bearing is the issue on my Astra h . When I turn right at greater than 15 mph, there horrible crackling and popping noise from the front left. I’ve changed the CV joint at the hub end and I can’t feel any play in the wishbone. Still the noise persists.
Generally I think a bad wheel bearing would give more of a loud road noise type sound, but for me I always like to check by jacking the car up and giving the wheel a shake: if there's play in the wheel when I shake it holding the wheel side to side and up and down then that would signify a bad wheel bearing
