Am gearing up to do my own front wheel bearing replacement on my E30 and this is BY FAR the best and most complete tutorial I've watched. And I've watched A LOT OF THEM. I'm not a mechanic and haven't played one on tv either so I've been studying the crap out of these videos and this guy gave some amazing insights and reasoning behind everything. Please keep making more of these videos!!

Even though I don't have a BMW, I was searching for info on replacing a wheel bearing. I am amazed at the excellent quality of your tutorial. Awesome work!

OK, I'm five years after this video was posted. But it's the best damn mechanical video I have ever seen. Mate, whatever your name is - You are a bloody champion. Cheers.

I don't normally comment on videos, but this one is an exception. Thank you so much for a nice lengthy video describing in detail a lengthy process. I own a 2001 BMW Z3 and I changed out both front wheel bearings using your video as a guide. Exactly as shown, and since it was so thorough, I had everything I needed before starting. Thanks again for helping me out.

You explained so clear and easy to follow. You're the professional mechanic. Lots of thumbs up. Thank you!

Rarely good DIY-Video. Perfectly explained in all Detail needed! Helped me a lot doing my first bearing replacement on my 328i. Thank you so much for this great video!!

Great informative video! I have an E28 and I suspect that the process is pretty similar. Thanks for taking the extra time to explain the different ways of getting the job done especially the inner dust cap and the fit issue with aftermarket hubs.

Thanks everyone! your rock

Please more stuff like this on your channel. Worth every minute spent in the front of the pc. Good job you do in every video that you make. Quality spent time and learning....a lot of learning.

Your are beyond thorough when performing these maintenance procedures, your cam timing video was a major help, thank you for the old videos and new. If your ever in Wisconsin and feel like going for a whip in a turbo e36 feel free to hit me up.

These are the best DIY videos I have found anywhere. Thank you so much! I hope you record a rear wheel bearing replacement some time soon.

This video is the by far best and most helpful on the subject

Incredible tutorial. I love it. Thanks!

Thank you very much for an excellent video of correctly removing and replacing critical components. I don't know your background but you have acquired excellent work habits. Please keep up these videos, they are very helpful.

Nicely done. Loved how you've had the torque wrenches already prepared with the correct setting and a socket. Very clean and a neat job, just how I like to do it!

Watching a master at work ! . If I had all the tools I would do it myself after watching this , thankyou.

You always have the best e36 walkthrough videos out there.

Among the best, if not the best DIY video I've ever seen.

That is one of the best instructional videos ever... thanks

This is by far the best video showing the most correct way to do each and every operation throughout this process, I have seen so far. I mean, you even wear the correct gloves for each stage, haha! Great video; If you want it done right, do it yourself.

Thank you for the detailed explanation and clear example of the remove and replace. Great camera work, vidio presentation and attention to detail. Look forward to more of your workmanship.

Excellent presentation, clean and precise work, it helped me with purchasing the special tools needed, thanks for sharing!

This friendly guy never answer me back, but for all those who's has a BMW Z3, is exactly the same process, I do it on mine... thanks anyway mybimmerspace... u r awesome.

Brilliant video, thank you for this. I would suggest replacing the dust shield every time the bearing is replaced as preventative maintenance. The area around the 3 little bolts corrodes and it’s a pain - either the bolts needs washers to clamp the shield solid or a new shield has to be cut to slide over the hub. In the UK, the shield is about £20 so well worth doing when the bearing is out. Again, thanks for the vid and the clear, careful explanation.

Very Clear Video Visually and Description. You would be a very good Trade Lecturer. Really enjoyed both the description and the Tools you used. Look forward to more. Thank you. Cheers.

Professional work with appropriate tools.

These videos are great man, pls keep posting!

Very professional workmanship AAA+++

Excellent job ! Very Much explained.

Superb video and wheel bearing replacement done my a pro. Thanks

Great video dude. That looks like one happy car. It really is nice, and so clean! I have a 94 325i silver sedan with style 68's too! I mean the way you explained in detail everything step by step was very helpful. Including the helpful advice. I also appreciated how clearly you spoke. The lighting was also nice and bright. I can't get over how many great tools you kept whippin' out! Your craftsmanship, attention to detail, and neatness is outstanding. Very good video. I wish you could work on my car!

Great video sir, mine just started making a wirring noise, will do mine soon.

great work and great tools

Thanks for uploading another quality video again !

Great Videos. I just did the hubs in my 1996 318i based on your tutorial. very doable when you know what you are getting into after watching your vid. To note, the hubs came out without a puller, and went on with out a press which made it that much faster and easier. They were tight but easily slid off and the new ones on just with hand pressure. Same with the races that were left behind. weird eh? Anyway, thanks again.

Very good video with a professional ethics, thanks. This man is a Master.

great to see a good TRADES MAN spot on

I seen a lot of these DIY videos and I must say - your videos are well prepared and well planned. I thought to myself before watching this video "I´ve seen and done wheel hubs, but maybe I´ll pick up some tricks from this guy"... After watching this video, I´ve picked up a lot of tricks and "best practice"-methods... You seem to go the extra mile by cleaning surfaces and marking positions. I like it! Looking forward to see more of your videos in the future! Hope you see this comment and that it might inspire you - this video inspired me though :-)

Great video. Thanks for sharing!

what a great video! you covered everything..... thank you

wow great clear informative video,you made it look so easy

Thank you for the great angles and video!

thanks for this video, very nicely done!

Fantastic video thank you!

Thank you very much for this well made video. I decided to replace my bearing myself in order to save some money. I never imagined that the hardest part of doing this job would be finding a 40mm socket for the stub nut. I got everything in order including the pullers; I thought I'd swing by the tool store on my to my garage to quickly grab the socket; NOPE! I have gone everywhere with no luck.(Yes I went to Sear and Harbor Freight) I finally had to order one from the internet. The realities of getting things done. I still think I might save money when all is said and done though. So thanks again.

Very helpful. Thank you!

Thank you! It really helped me out This is one of the best tutorials i've ever seen. Could you make one for the rear bearings?

God bless you for making this dopeass video

This is the best....thank you so much

dang! Great tricks of the trade shared here! Good stuff!

good video loud and clear you are the pro bro.. thank

thanks far sharing all the details

great job

Great job.

A most thorough,informative,master class video. You have set the standard . Well done

All pro mechanics should have this kind of level in craft and workmanship. However, they rarely perform on such level. In fact every time I visited the dealer, I ended up having to rectify their sloppy work afterwards. Annoying things like stuck wheel lugs, oil filter caps torqued down way over their spec and just monkey wrench the job. This DIYer is a shining example of how the job should be done. Its not rocket science. In fact all it takes is some care and dedication. That's why after a dealership service, I ended up having to go through their entire procedure, finding all sorts of mishaps. I have a recall notice on a E90 with vanos bolt problem that require replacing. The bolts are alloy and tends to break causing the engine to stall. Why in the world BMW uses some aluminium bolts is beyond me. I always laugh when I hear people say the German cars are all over-engineered. Perhaps this was true in the older cars, but the new ones are a PITA to work on. They don't even come with a dipstick to check the engine oil. In fact, the fancy over-engineered creations result in a computer checking your oil level and is known to be very inaccurate. In fact, if the electronics went kaput, which happens a lot to German cars, you can kiss your engine good-bye for oil-starving. Anyway, my hats off to this gentleman for showing the correct way to maintain our BMWs and taking pride in his work.

Great video!

Great video guy

Good vid mate, very well explained for the noobs.

You should coat the stub shaft and the inside of the bearing races with anti-seize before you install it. Your future self will thank you down the road when you have to replace the bearing again and it comes off like butter. Also anti-seize on the axle nut threads. A thin coat of anti-seize on the inside of the rotor mounting face also keeps corrosion down. Anti-seize ALL THE THINGS

Nice tools kit👍🍻

Thanks man Great video

it's very good tanks!!! jeff from france

Good Job !! Thanks

I've never seen a car with a suspension that clean and rust free. You should do this on a car from the real world.

Great video. Thank you.

Use locktide for dustcap bolts..i do ,,it helps..great video btw

good job thanks.

Very good video! Don't stop doing them :)

awesome video bro! you´re good! this helped me a lot! thanks!

Nice video.

Thanks I was waiting for this video...... I will probably just get a new Hub/kingpin from the scrapyard tough.

After so much fine work you would not want to drive the car on roads with slightest dirt :) , In fact most cars these days are not made to be driven on dust and dirty roads. Good tutorial btw.

rear wheel bearing how to would be amazing, My shop here had a big problems doing these.

Thanks

cool... very good!!!

A little tip is if you have the race without the lip, take a dremel tool and score a notch in the race that goes about halfway down through the race and then give it a good shock with a cold chisel. Should just crack the race and drop right out. Just be careful not to knick the stub shaft

Thank You Vanox Bud for your comment!

Amazing video! very nice quality. But... that used bearing looks like new!!

Goo job..bro

Thanks for a clear and thorough video, btw how do you keep those calipers looking so clean?

wow your car looks so clean, Guess it doesnt snow where you live :D

Man .. you are a mechanical maniac like I am. The attention to detail, the precision and the lighting for this video. I am in shock, in a good way. One of the best DIY for BMW I have ever seen, getting ready to watch all your videos now. BTW .. what lights are you using ?

Otherwise it's great video and great tools

Nice video! I will be attempting this on a 2006 BMW Z4, I hope it is similar enough! You mentioned a distinct preference to steel wool over sandpaper for cleaning mating surfaces, could you briefly elaborate on why? I am guessing that leaving silicon grit behind might cause wear issues, but won't careful cleanup address that?
