I bought an E46 330i before with 380k miles from the original owner, never replaced any bearings, only mounts and bushings, bearings where 100% good, original diff, automatic ZF auto transmission, even the leather was still on ok condition.

Link to the axle puller tool? I don't see one for sale from FCP Euro, and all of the M27 tools I see online don't list the E46 as being compatible.

Great video. You could've used the opportunity to replace that cut-off splash shield behind the brake.

I did our E30 not too long ago. Very similar job. A helpful tip for DIYer's working at home is to plan your work and put the new Bearings and the cleaned or New Hubs in the freezer for a few. Maybe at a lunch break. Do you have a tool number for the Axle Draw Tool you used ? Need to do our E46 also and that's the only item I don't have.
@fcpeuro2 жыл бұрын
Nice work, Gman! They are indeed very similar. That tool used in the video is CTA-5056. Happy wrenching!
@ReignRapid Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the video, how long did this take to do ? Is every car like this or is the E46 just a hard case 😂

What tool is that that was used to pull the axle shaft back into the bearing?
@massgass91312 жыл бұрын
used an impact on mine, worked fine, did the bearing separate when you installed the hub without a smaller plate that only covers the inside of the bearing?
@fcpeuro2 жыл бұрын
Nice work! We had a plate on the backside to hold the bearing from our bearing tool, to keep the race from blowing out, it is the only way to do it!

Who knows? The hub should be able to be removed with the drive shaft still in place? My torx bolts are rounded so can't be removed.
@fcpeuroАй бұрын
You may be able to use a slide hammer bolted to the hub, but if the fit to the shaft is tight, you may be inducing some premature wear to the CV.

Great video however one thing to note, my 320cd axle/ shaft bolt was not 36mm. It is 30mm, needs a 30mm 12 point socket. Not sure if this is because it's a UK spec but regardless, 36mm was far too big

I almost changed the wheel bearing on my BMW e46, i did it in an authorized workshop. But I still have that bad bearing dot sound. What could be another problem?
@julu34255 ай бұрын
Check the tire. Must likely noise emitter.

@ILikeToCommentAndSub2 жыл бұрын
Disappointing to see you guys did not properly support the inner race of the bearing when installing the hub. That causes unnecessary stress on the inner race of the bearing and you can blow it out if it’s a tight fit.
@fcpeuro2 жыл бұрын
Hi Poltergus, thank you for the note! Mike had a washer on the inside from the bearing toolset that matched the bearing to keep from blowing out the inner race. We will make sure to show that better in future DIYs.
