MK5/MK6 Front Wheel Hub Replacement | ECS DIY 

Never do your degree torque with a click type torque wrench

Will removing the bolts from the control arm mess up your alignment ?

Great video as always. Stripping bolts by not looking ans using a torque wrench to do the angle tho ish

Stupid question , when you say this applies to all mk5/mk6 platform , is this golf only or jetta as well?

I had a shop try to con me into an axle + CV swap by saying "the axle just fell out" when I had them replace the left front wheel hub. Seems normal to me as seen here. My girl would let go of the axle squatted in his lift bay a few days as payback. Ended up with a new CV boot instead.

Here is Cali its less likely to have that type of corrosion But what about putting a little anti seize on the new hub?

Would it be ok to put antisieze on the hub assembly when you're replacing it?

I did mine when changing pads and brake fluid, great feeling afterwards

"Thats what she said"😁

ECS has great DIY videos. Comprehensive, easy to understand and a simple follow along. I often have my ipad beside me as I’m working to refer to in case of issue.

No need to mess with ball joints or control arms on an mk5. Plenty of room to remove the (4) 12mm triple square bolts by simply turning the stearing wheel. And buy a slide hamer for $7 at a garage sale to pull that hub. Lol

Do you have to torque them? Or can you just tighten it as much as you can without a torque wrench

Bro thank you, your front and rear videos helped me so much

Do you need to do an alignment after?

Would have be handy to see how axle nut was tightened at the 180 degree. If possible

Try this in Massachusetts on a NC Golf... 🤪🤣

Pretty sure the torque on the lower ball joint nuts is 60 Nm, not 100. I set it to 100 based on this video and could feel one stripping. 2 other sources said it should be 60

Gym requires

Would a slide hammer work to remove instead of air hammer?

Do you have to replace the ball joint nuts?

Mk6 gang 😤🤙
