VW T5 T6 Wheel Bearing - Remove / Replace 

Thanks and keep us posted how it goes when you do it. You can do it 👍

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 👍👍

Thanks for the positive feedback. I try to keep videos direct and to the point 🙃. You can do it 👍

Great news you got it out again and thks for the positive feedback. I have to do the other side bearing soon. You can do it 👍

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

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 👍

My rear drivers sides gone gonna attempt to do it myself this weekend thanks for the video

@@youcandoit1828 Having just come back to view your DSG oil change video, I noticed that I watched your bearing change video last year! For me, it was the rear nearside (UK vehicle) that had failed; I did actually remove the wheel speed sensor when I did mine as I was concerned that I might have caught it when pulling the new bearing in - the puller kit that I bought from Amazon was not great (the thread was out of centre on one of the nuts and the bar wouldn't even go right through it, however I needed to get the job done and have a set of universal bearing cups so used one of the bars out of that set to get me out of a pickle). Like you, I used an OE FAG bearing and they take quite a bit of getting started squarely... if not quite as challenging as getting the old one to start withdrawing (even with a long breaker bar).

@@iandonkin6762 Thanks for coming back to the channel. I bought the bearing kit years ago and was when stuff made in China was actually good so so quality. Current Chinese stuff is really crap quality and poorly made now they dominate the world market they don't need to offer quality. I found a Clarke bearing puller brand new in a box in the workshop must be 10-15 years old if not more. Honestly you'd think it was made in Germany. Cant compare it to the current crap ones offered by Clarke. Quality is a thing of the past. I only buy used quality tools now.

You can do it, keep us posted on your progress. You can do it 👍

Always helps. You can do it 👍

Wow thanks for that. Let us know how you get on. You can do it 👍

@youcandoit1828 I fixed, I followed your steps, very useful. Thanks

@@dariuscsutak9843 well done. 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 👍

Glad you sorted it. That rear ring is such a bitch of job to get out of it gets stick in there. You can do it 👍

Well done 💪 and thanks for keeping us posted. You can do it 👍

The disc was fine. Might not look it on the video but it's alarmist new. We Habseligkeiten of salt on the roads here in Austria. You can do it 👍

Thanks and keep us posted on how it goes. You can do it 👍

If it's broken the breaker bar are you sure the puller is put together properly and there loads of grease on the roller bearing at the front. How long was the breaker bar ? You can do it 👍

@@youcandoit1828 yes all put together properly . Breaker bar was the biggest my local garage had I’ve broken two now . Fully greased it up the thread and the bearings and still no luck I’ve now broken the bearings on the bearing puller . Any other ideas to get this bearing out please

@@glyndwr1282 something has to be wrong there to break two bar. Have you got the right setup behind the bearing as it sounds like you made have it setup to pull the bearing in rather than out. Easy to do.

Did you have the cutout on the bearing puller correctly aligned 🤷‍♂️

Heat it

Hammer needs to be a big lump hammer. Can always use a splitting tool big never had a hammer fail. Try heating and then soak in wd40. Keep us posted. You can do it 👍

Hi I'll edit the video and get it uploaded. Thanks for reminding. You can do it 👍

‘I did it’! Thanks for your video, 2 new hubs and what feels like a whole new van! Although I had to use 12mm on the calipers!

@@stuartdeakin6468 Hi well done and a good feeling to sort it yourself. You can do it 👍

Glad it helped. Keep us posted on how you get on. You can do it :)

I think it's the short drive shaft so as you drive the right side of the Vw. Splitting the tie rods is not difficult so don't worry just have a decent lump hammer at hand. You can do it 👍

@@youcandoit1828 Thanks for your replies over the weeks. These videos have been really helpful. All that best.

Need to Pull it back off or tap the hube flange to straighten it up if it's only just on by a bit. It's the trickiest bit of the job. Take your time and keep checking. Keep us posted. You can do it 👍

@@youcandoit1828 top man. Thanks 👍

Yes it's all part of the bearing hub assembly. You can do it 👍

First time I used this kit it was really stiff. Then I really greased up the threads and bearing washers it was significantly easier to turn. You can do it 👍

@@youcandoit1828 nonsense I did use grosse, and a huge amount of torque but nothing worked. Even used a blowtorch, a Hammer etcetera. The kit simply is not strong enough.

Maybe they are not the same spec. kits. All I can say is my puller hasn't come across a bearing it cant remove. You can do it.

One side you can and one you can't because of the drive shaft lengths. Worse case is you have to split the tie rod ball joint. This is an easy job so no worries. Keep us posted. You can do it 👍

@@youcandoit1828 thanks. I'll look up info on the tie ball rod. 👍. I've got a Haynes manual on the way

Great news and thanks for the feedback. You can do it 👍

Hi I'll put a link up shortly. You can do it 👍

Thanks again! You can do it 👍

Hi, no play at all. There shouldn't be any play what so ever. make a video and post it up. You can do it

Using exactly the same method as yours but I have a play off approximately 1 mm on the top and the bottom of the wheel two times that I changes under 2000 km and bus times it’s the same with fag wheelbearings

@@petemacdar Hi somethings not right. Even the worn bearing generally has no play top and bottom just noise. Check the hub housing has not been damaged. You cannot it 👍

How did it break them ? You could heat the casting soak in wd40 and leave to penetrate. You can do it 👍

Thanks for the feedback. You can do it 👍

only asking as the puller says t5 to 2015 and later touaregs 16" wheels

@@peterburgess4637 Hi yes 85 will fit. Here's a link to Lasers Bearing tool and read the description. Most of the iterations of the Transport T5 onwards use the same running gear. Always best to check thou. The type 2 bearings are a standard unit on newer Touareg and Transporters. You can do it 👍 www.lasertools.co.uk/Product/5582/GEN2-Wheel-Bearing-Kit-85mm-for-VAG

@@youcandoit1828 CHEERS just picked up a fag unit this morn... then my egr codes came up as well oh dear....

Keep us posted on how it goes 👍
