front Wheel bearing mk5 190

[CG_Maintenance]

how hard is it to do the wheel brearing on these
think mines on its way out

[transit killer]

Its a straightforward job.
1.Jack up
2.Wheel off
3.Remove caliper and carrier together
4.Remove bearing dust/grease cap
5.Remove split pin, locking cap and bearing nut and washer.
6.Pull off hub and disc
7.Remove inner seal and both inner and outer bearings, either knock out or press out the two bearing races from the hub.
8.Press in new bearing races, fit inner bearing back in place and fit the new inner seal.
9.Push hub back into place and fit outer bearing and add grease.
10.Refit the washer and nut, tighten up until you feel the nut becoming tight(would guess at 20nm) then back off about a 1/4 turn or until find the point where the nut is becoming free again .(hard to describe but easy when you do them regularly).
11.Check that the wheel hub rotates freely with no free play in the bearings.
12.Refit locking cap along with split pin and fit grease cap.
13.Refit caliper and carrier.
14.Wheel back on
15 Jack down, job done

Hope that helps!

Only problem
The press

looks like a job for the weekend then

Just knock them in and out with a drift, I've never used a press to do them.

me either, they drift out easily enough

I've just done this too on my MK4 and didn't need a press.

just find a socket that doesnt go all the way through and once its resting on the outer race give it a smack (you can even use the 1/2" bar in the wrong way round) and it'll fly out

chears

any ideas how much a bearing is

[jckm2000]

I need to do mine this week, searching for parts on eBay two types are coming up, tapered and non tapered.

Mine's a 1996 twin wheel 190, are mine tapered or non tapered??

Tip...........
Put the outer bearing races in the freezer over night.

You'll find they go in without having to pound or press them in.

Once they warm up to the ambient temperature (depending on time of year) they'll be a snug fit
