VW Bus Restoration Part 10: Replace the rear wheel bearings

Thanks, you can use the 46mm socket to drive both the inner and outer bearings in. Just finished mine today.

Glad I found this. I am getting ready to convert early bay to late bay stub axles, housings, breaks, etc for fender clearance. This group of videos is exactly what I need! Thanks for sharing.

Excellent video, thank you. My next job is to the replace the front and rear bearings, which I am not looking forward to! Great video and considering the "Bentley" VW Manual only has half a page on replacing the bearings, this video is a huge help.

Great video. Thanks.

Awesome job you helped me a ton Thank you James Larson on the master cylinder

You want more grease, basically you should fill entirely behind where the inner spacer goes. Also it's best to install bearings with the numbers facing out. They're usually made to go in that way, otherwise they are typically asymmetrical, but if the numbers face out when you go to replace it later you can read the part number without taking the bearing out which is handy in a pre Internet time

This is a great! One comment: when punching out the outer bearing, you need to be careful on hitting on the outer part of the bearing case. One small devation towards the center will explode the entire bearing case (I did it). Also make sure you are hitting on the outer bearing case (outer part of bearing case and not the axel case (I did this too). All is good as discribed in the presenation...but just some highlights. Do a good job on cleaning out the old grease and have good lighting to make sure you are hitting the right spot on the bearing.

Well Scotty,Nice perfomance and well executed,well done.☮️☘️🇳🇴👏

Thank you!

Thank you so much for this - I now know what to do. 🙂

I love that video of how you did change the rear bearing of your bus. Before one month I did a video DIY on my bus too.. but now looking at this video.. i am only 05% comparing to you ... but at least I am learning :) I just subscribed to your channel to learn more about how to make my amateur dumb videos look better

To get the inner bearing out easier I cleaned around the hole where the bearing comes out, with a small wire brush in the drill, as ours had some rust holding it in, made it easier to get the C clip out also.

Thank You!! I have a 1970 bus but I think it's similar enough. Dreading removing the axles, I'm not a fan of that job by it's self.

Hey there great video. Im preparing to start this project on my '69 baywindow. Would you know if there's any difference in the process and parts between the late and early bays?

what did you do to paint / rust treat the swing arms / bearing housing etc / thanks great vid!!!

What did you spray on the frame to make it black?

Type of grease to use?. I've seen that many times the grease used looks like CV joint black type.

Ever heard of it that the bearing housing would be defect? My mechanic guy says its defect.I never heard of it

Buy the most expensive bearings you can find! You don't want to do this twice. The good ones will last forever.

the Bentley's 6/62 assembly step 4 " Fill the housing with multipurpose grease until the spacer sleeve can just be inserted. Then temporarily remove the spacer from the bearing housing" wonder if this is really necessary, don't do that on the front wheel bearings

$30! cip1 wants $68 for the outer bearing, guess I'll have to look around for those
