Nice job and just goes to prove having the right tools makes life easier
Definitely
Great how to as usual George.
I did cringe when you used your impact gun on the threaded bar nut of your bearing puller. I have seen many of those threaded bars gall up very easily over the 24 years as a mechanic.
Always replace the dust shield when the bearing's being replaced !!!!
Magnificent great video and the music CARS 😂
Regarding the race on the hub, a bloke I work with said he used to just run a quick weld around bearing race to remove it the off the hub. he said they would pretty much just drop off when they are hot after being welded. I usually just put a slit it them with a 1mm cutting disc, and a quick smack with a chisel will split it and drop it off.
Hi George. I've done several of these bearings now on various BMW models. The main snag you, or anyone else doing the job, will come across is the driveshaft seized into the hub. I bought a cheapish hub puller, the type that bolts onto the hub using the wheel bolts, from Ebay, I had to get busy with the grinder and die grinder to make it fit an E46, but it was an absolute game changer. You tighten up the puller as tight as you can, then give the hub a few good hammer blows just to send the shockwaves through the assembly and the job is done. In my experience, there is no way to get these apart by bashing the end of the shaft. I have found that the claw-type pullers are just not man enough.
Agreed👌🏻
Definitely: the driveshafts on my 335i were absolutely solid and caused the garage no end of headache getting them free. They had hoped to do it without dismantling the car too much to preserve alignment but they had to take the hubs and driveshafts off to get them in a big press. Glad I decided not to attempt a DIY.
You are missing one important point, when pressing the wheel carrier in you need to make sure the other side of the bearing press is loading the inside race so both races are squeezed together - thats how these bearings will not play. You will still be able to load press them together later with the axle nut but imho its better to do it when pressing the bearing in so you can test if it is set correctly before inserting the axle
Good job! A very decent DIY as well. How sweet it is to have the right tools for the job! If your dad would be interested, you might propose selling that custom bearing puller/press kit he made for you. I bought a cheapo Chinese kit off of Amazon and had a helluva time getting it setup right to remove my E82's wheel bearings. Low quality metallurgy relegated it to one time use as well.
Appreciate it! He still works full time but when he retires I can ask if he wants to work for/with me and maybe make some custom bits to sell
The tool your dad he made was perfect. My advice is if that slide hammer does not work is to go and buy the drive shaft bearing and hub from a junk yard. If they are stuck they can be so stuck that almost any press will not budge it and you can waste days.
The movement of the half race is not an indication of a problem per se it happens on a new bearing as well. The way these races work is they are pinched together from one side by the axle and from the other side is with the wheel carrier. There is a gap between inner races which will allow to load the races and remove that play. If the bearing is worn to the point where tightening does not work then its a problem
My 2006 E93 have a Alpina undercarridge. To remove the wheel bearings, have done all four, I had to remove the bearing hubs from the car. It took 55 tons of hydraulic pressure to remove the bearings from the hubs. On 2006 there are three torque specs. From the top of my head, torque should be in region of 460 Nm on my car. The reason for my bearings collapsing, was that BMW shop had replaced bearings for preveous owner and used less tightening torque.
Wish the title of the video said what it’s about so in the future if people will find it search for say 130i rear wheel bearing diy. I know you say you get more views with the vague titles but seems a shame for people who really would like to see a specific diy guide.
Don’t worry mate I’ll change the title to better suit search after a couple weeks👍🏻
@@GeorgeAusters that’s fantastic. I always watch your videos, have done for years. Even the live streams. Keep up the good work! Still can’t believe you’re selling the beloved 1 series.
Appreciate it!
@@GeorgeAustersIt's good when the description is as exact as possible. Sometimes or many times it's even important to know the month/year of production to understand/realise that "this" in the video is slightly different.
Of course VIN code is the best thing to show at the beginning of the description.
Then you can start thinking of a homepage with links to the video that solve the actual problem.
If you mention (in the description) the original partnumber, in this case of the bearing, everyone can check which cars are using this bearing, and then, maybe, understand that the construction of the assembly is the same or similar.
Then you can sell some advertising space on your homepage, too. I think every penny is needed.
You should really remove the driveshaft first to avoid potentially damage the ABS sensor - just six torx on the diff end (E12 on small diff cars like 118i's etc) plus driving it out of the hub.That can be a real b@stard if it's rusted in. bobfrankish8883 mentions it and the need for a very serious puller/press so you need to undo the big nut and make sure the shaft is going to move in the hub before even starting the job.
I had this on an E90 where absolutely nothing would shift it - not even a 100 ton press - so I replaced the complete rear hub and shaft assembly.
That bearing removal tool is superb!
Nice guide. Thank you. But you forget the link, where i can purchase that "father-engineer" thing
Haha!
Glad you've done that job buddy, one less thing to do when I win it !! 😂
Exactly👌🏻
nasty job if the driveshaft gets stuck in the hub...but u nailed it bro good video👌👊
If it gets stuck then heat and slide hammer will do the job👍🏻
Thanks for the tip✌️
George put another nut on the diff side of your bearing pull and lock the two nuts together. This will stop either spinning and negate the need for a 3rd hand holding a spanner
Yes that makes sense👍🏻
Thanks!
Appreciate that buddy!
@@GeorgeAusters to be honest I had your video playing while wrenching on my car and somehow pushed the send money and confirm button while I was fighting to get the cv shafts back in. Definitely gunna remove my credit card info from Google after seeing how easy it took my money but atleast it went to a good cause 🙃 😆
Yeah any donations are going towards my garage build so it’s greatly appreciated!
Great job and that tool looks spot on.
Did the hub pull out as easily with the slide hammer on the passenger side, what with that being the good bearing?
Yes pretty much the same to be honest
Are those safety sliders on your feet!!!!
Oh yes 👌🏻
Great vid mate, is it easy to tell if the bearing is fully seated, ie does it get tight or stop , i need to do this job as my back plates are shot, just not sure when i get to seating the bearing in how i know its fully in.
Cheers
You made this a real hard job!... just use a 3 legged hub puller....it pushes against driveshaft and pops the hub straight off....then use your tool which is correct way to pull bearing without taking whole lot off and putting in a bearing press...
How is a hub puller any easier than a slide hammer? Haha
I’ve used those puller tools before and they often slip off whereas a slide hammer is physically bolted
@@GeorgeAusters a decent quality puller will grip the hub and press against the driveshaft end....I used it on E90 with 230k on and it worked well...put decent tension on...then tap with hammer and flange popped off. It's a rubbish job either way so hats off to you...having looked...its a 4 leg puller....
I wouldn’t recommend applying force to the end of the driveshaft as you can end up damaging it
Great video
Maybe you should have changed your reluctor ring while the shaft was off just a thought
These driveshafts don’t have reluctor rings👍🏻
What is the torque spec on the driveshaft/diff torx bolts? I didn't hear it mentioned in the vid
Found it... 52nm M8 and 70nm M10
looks easy but is not! nicely done!
Cheers!
Now do the other side :) and without tool extractor
Just had this done on my e87 as well, when I saw a yt video how its done I gave it to my mechanic, fuck this job 😂
Ready for the raffle !
Yep.. Good luck Andrew!
A good tip is to put a dop of grease over the nut to stop the water rusting it up
That’s what I’ve done👍🏻
George you should put all the different models covered in the name of videos, maybe in brackets at the end it will massively boost your views 👍
Yes I will after a week or so👍🏻
Love your safety boots George!
😂
those rear shocks look like they ve seen better days
They may have surface rust etc but still work perfectly fine👍🏻
Have you got a link to that slide hammer please George?
Is it linked in the description?
Not from what i can see mate 😅
I’ll swap my e61 530d LCI 2009 for 130i… replaced air suspension bags bluespin shocks OEM wishbones all around two front wheel bearings rocket cover vacuum line, swirl flap delete OEM disc
130i are worth a lot more than an E61 haha
Used have 130i ten years ago 👍…my e61 one owner with 100k clok
Why those arms get so rusty? I have the same situation in my BMW. Does anyone know any DIY trick for that ?
these cars are coming to 20 years old there will be some rust, get new ones for another 15+ rust free years
@@flippy9133 not everyone can afford to buy a new one! That's why we are on this channel!
@@ademineshat I meant new arms
@@flippy9133 yes, I also meant that. Buying new means changing them, just because of surface Rust?
You could grind them down and paint them but the control arms really aren't that expensive
Have you got a link for the slide hammer?
In return I’ll give you a link for a pair of safety boots.
Great video thanks
Yes, here you go: amzn.to/4aPH0vq
Great videos george,but it did make me cringe when i saw you working in flip flops you only have one body you should look after it all the best mike
Unless I'm lifting something heavy then I always wear my sliders as I have to keep going in and out of my house to collect tools so it makes taking them off much quicker
Flip flops again?? Wear some proper protective footwear matey
I get your concern but what is actually going to fall on my toe while swapping out a wheel bearing? Soon it’ll be too hot to wear anything more than shorts, a vest and bare feet 😂
Relax buddy lol 😂
