**WHEEL BEARING TOOL IS M18** How to check for wheel bearing noise, how to replace a MK5 Gti rear wheel bearing. In this video I will show you how to replace a rear wheel bearing on a MK5 GTI. This is the same process for B6 Passat, and many other rear VW wheel bearings. Thanks to FCP Euro for sponsoring this video and the MK5 Project.

happy543210 did you get the proper vw tool to make this comment about vw specialty tools, or were you able to manage with something around the garage? But seriously, they kind of have to have a specialty tool for everything to make the manufacturing process as quick and easy as possible while allowing the job to be done by the least skilled, aka inexpensive, labor to do the work in a manner that cannot damage the new vehicle, in the factory. Therefore there will be a lot of “special tools” but really a mechanic doesn’t need all of them per se. Just specific ones like timing tools and more technical tools while the special dust cap tool for MKV cars can be a chisel (or straight screwdriver, let’s me honest) and hammer.

Prompt timing for this vid. Working on my Mk5 Rabbit's right now. 4ft pipe and breaker bar. This is by far the easiest set up, compared to the fronts. I still have nightmares of the torches (for heating the hub up) and rust. Ty for the tip not to use power tools, its arm day ;-) and this all started with the ABS/Squeel Tires on Pavement lights on. Used the Vagcom to verify the sensors are working. The ring on one WB was half gone. Doing both as you suggested. 150k miles.

Just put my 1/2 ratchet on and had it parallel and used my audi jack stand to slowly break my 24 mm 12 point bolt loose. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.. hope this helps someone one day...also make sure you use one hand to keep the socket in place so it does strip and a weird angle.

Just to clarify, when you say 'not to use an impact on this bolt' at 4:57 , the workshop manual states not to use an impact because socket T10162 is a non impact socket - that is the reason it states twice not to use an impact, not because you shouldn't use it on the bolt but the official tripple square/spline bits used by VW workshops are CRV, and hence are not impact rated and could shatter. If using a CRM socket bit then you can use an impact........not that you will probably get anywhere unless you have an impact wrench that can put out 2000nm of torque! (i know from experience on this one, 1200nm nut busting torque wouldn't shift this mother!)

Is a bad rear wheel bearing also related to vibrations? I have a golf 6 and for some reason it vibrates and shakes from the back for no reason after I hit a speed above 80km/h. This phenomenon is intermitent, it doesn’t happen all the time. I don’t really know what the problem is. I know some of you will say that the tires are bad, but if the tires are bad it should vibrate all the time, right?

The bolt for the wheel bearing is M16 triple square (07 gti). The bolts (2) for the caliper carrier are M14 triple square and a nightmare to get off (especially the bottom one). It's a struggle to get the caliper off, removing the whole thing like he did in the video is the way to go. Don't cheap out, get a new dust cap. The bearing is not sealed without the dust cap. You don't want crap to get in the bearing and shorten it's life. Replace wheel bearings in pairs. Do left and right in the rear together.

I installed a new bearing. During the process of installation I hit the bearing several times with the hammer. Actually I hammered the hub (with a plastic hammer though) it almost in 1/3, then used press, but didn't know I need to use a lip on the bottom. The center of the bearing came off on the bottom like for 1 mm. I placed the lip and made it even again with the hammer. The hub is rotating very good, but gives a slight grinding noise, not like the other one I replaced before, which rotates with more efforts, but doesn't make any sound. Should I replace that bearing with the slight grinding sound? Probably I shouldn't hammer it that much (though with the soft hammer). Thank you for the informative film.

Not saying what you did was wrong at all, its a matter of opinion, but I was always told when you torque a bolt then with a certain degree after it that you should click it then, when doing 180 degrees for example, to do it in one go. Don't know if it makes a difference? Usually is the case with stretch bolts on cylinder head though i believe. P.S I hope you're changing those rear discs too haha like it's been left in salt water for a week. Great content, always love watching. From Wales, UK.

Hey Charles, I’m looking through several videos for a job I’m starting tomorrow. My mk5 2.5 Jetta 5 speed, 0A4 trans, has started leaking from the differential output shaft seal. In the output flange that the axles bolt to, there is space in between the axle and the output transaxle flange. There is tons of grease in there, is that safe to pack with wheel bearing grease? Haynes manual has no info on this and wanted to get advice from a VW tech. What spec of grease should go between that axle and flange? Thanks in advance, you’ve always been the man at VWs! Well, you and Paul.

Hey Charles! Thanks for this video, did that job last weekend to replace the splash guard. Unfortunately I had to drill the brake disc "position" screw because I stripped the head. Is this screw necessary? I don't think so but I think that the caliper is a bit stuck now, the wheel is not turning freely (didn't have the tool to push back the piston). Thanks PS: for anyone attempting this job, don't do like me. Be sure to remove that screw BEFORE removing the caliper or the disc will turn when you try to unscrew it.

I did the brakes all around on my VW Rabbit a few months ago, and I stripped 3 out of 4 of the rotor set screws, just like you did for the one. The screw is totally not necessary because your wheel and lug bolts hold the rotor onto the hub. So the screw is not needed at all. If your caliper is stuck, then that might be an issue with the caliper itself. Hope this helps. -Anthony

Great job Charles! I'm working on a 2006, the abs sensor has been damaged by the bearing assembly, bringing up an ABS fault. I'm thinking an after market bearing assembly has been fitted at some point, so it's looking like replacing the bearing assy, as well as the sensor.

You can break loose the bolt holding the bearing before you Jack the car up , then after replacing the new bearing and bolt you can do the half then after you replace the wheel and lower the car down in the ground to make it easier just fyi

Did you notice that the wheel bearing looks dry? If you stop the video you can see that the bearing balls are all shiny and not full with grease. I just received my SKF rear wheel bearing and it looks almost dry as well. I know it doesn't need to be overloaded but it seems a bit to short on it?

Back to this video...replaced a bearing, not sure what brand, something from NAPA, on the Drivers Rear and its making a nasty like...go kart type cheap wheel sound... as if maybe you're on a crappy roller coaster. Bearing even has some play in it. Lovely jubly. Not a bad job at all to anyone considering doing it, just a pain to do it again lol.

You did not mention that the back side inner race likes to come off and stay behind. I've seen 3 tow in where people replaced their own and couldn't figure out why the new bearing would not go all the way back on in the last year...

Man I have replaced 30 of these over the years, and seen tons more replaced and the shop. Never seen one come apart like you are saying. The MK4/B5 all did it. The bearing was kind of pressed in. Something to keep an eye on, but I have never seen or heard of it on this generation

Hello. I am having trouble fitting a bearing on a Ford fusion european version. It seems, bearing can't be tightened more than 28 nm, because i get the feeling it becomes stuck. I think this is very little than a bearing should be tightened. It has drumbrakes and the bearing is placed în the drum. Or, maybe some special tightening procedure. I have no ideea.

Great video, but just a small question as far as diagnosis is concerned. I've got a Mk7.5 GTI. Hit a pothole recently which was bad enough to bend the wheel. Replaced the wheels, but I still have a bit of a rumble sound AND some vibration/shaking at various speeds. Would a damaged hub cause both the sound and vibration or is it likely I'm looking for something else as well? I've had two suspension diagnostics and an alignment done since replacing the wheel and they say there's nothing wrong with the suspension.

Hmm my 350z is making a sound noise probably coming from the rear, at first I thought it was the tire cause it was pretty worn out, so I got new tires but the sound is still there. It just sounds like a loud tire road noise. If its a bearing going bad, how bad would it be to drive the car 600 miles? I need to drive across the state tomorrow and its a 600 mile drive
