Thank you for the feedback! In the absence of a special tool, you can use what is available, but it is desirable to use professional equipment to repair and maintain your car. Best Regards, Autodoc.
Btw If You've not got a press you can always clamp the hub in a vice and carefully drift the bearing tracks out with a hammer with equal taps around the diameter of them until they become free
That depends on what you've been throwing on to it. If it sat in the drawer and was not subject to any impacts, it should be fine, you will feel if its rough.
Thank you for your feedback ! We appreciate your valuable remark. We see that it is a rough mistake. Our new videos will surely show this and we will also apply the torque wrench and specify all the torques values. Best regards, Autodoc.
Yes some really bad workmanship there. Tighten to 110nm, loosen off then torque to 25 nm and 90 degrees angle torque, if you dont have an angle torque gauge mark with tippex or a white paint pen, if you dont have anything like that, lock the wheel hub in place by using the caliper , two wheel bolts tightened up, get a pry bar, use the caliper and torque to 90 NM and whilst checking The angle it usually is roughly the same but you should use the 90 torque if at all possible.
Thank you for your feedback! We recommend you contact your local garage in order to resolve the issue. It is not possible to give you an answer based on the description. Stay tuned for more videos in thej days ahead. Best regards, Autodoc!
1. Shock Absorber lower mounting bolts. 2. Lower Control arm pinch bolt. 3. ABS Wheel Speed Sensor. 4. Tie rod end ( They come with new bolts) I don't know the what the bolts are called but it should help you identify the bolts you need. You could even go to a scrap yard and take the bolts you need.
Thank you for your feedback! Unfortunately, we can`t give you a precise answer to your question regarding the bolts size. You can look it up in the vehicle technical specifications. Best regards, Autodoc!
Thank you for the reply. May I be so bold as to ask that you do the job properly in your "How To" "Tutorial" video's as the Disclaimer at the bottom of your post would not stand up in court, It would only have added another 2 minutes at most, and no one could claim if they follow the correct way to re fit the parts.
Thank you for your feedback! Sometimes replacement requires all special tools and knowledge how to replace correctly and not to damage the part. Best regards, Autodoc.
It's not that quick and easy, especially if components have been in place for many years subject to local conditions. Cleaning up and greasing of areas missed out, torqueing of bolts missing...
Thank you for your remark! The pull-rod of stabilizer link doesn't connect with the stub axle in this case and doesn't prevent its mounting. That's why, the stabilizer junction point shouldn't be touched. Best regards, Autodoc.
Wow not correct sockets for impact gun no torque wrench thread lock and who in the right mind hits the lower arm downwards to remove ball joint from hub and as for the abs sensor coming out that easily I think they have stripped it down before broadcasting not a quality work men ship
Thank you for the feedback! The video is informative and shows only the general principles of the constitution and the operation of the car and it is in no way to be taken as a manual for repair and maintenance. Your opinion and remarks are very important for us. We will take them into consideration for our next tutorial. Best Regards, Autodoc
Some tips for the average Joe: 1) Undo the driveshaft nut before you remove literally everything else that could help you (A Breaker bar or scaffold pole is a life saver here) 2) This video didn't show what an absolute bast*rd the bearing race is to remove. You'll most likely end up resorting to brute force and cutting it off 3) Most garages will press bearings into hubs for beer money if you can get the hub off the car and take your parts to them :)
Thank you for your feedback! We appreaciate your valuable clarification, we will definitely take this into account in the following videos. Also, it will be very useful for our subscribers to receive such valuable comment! Best regards, Autodoc!
@@autodocuk Don't get me wrong - your videos are a fantastic reference and have helped me several times. Your approach is perfect for education and even to the trade. However for those who are attempting this with hand tools there's definitely some home tricks needed for this job! :)
At 5mins 50 seconds the internal part just taps out (not like this in reality) revealing that your bearing is incomplete, where exactly did the internal race go? The most difficult stage in this job has been totally missed in this video, so how do you separate the internal race from the splined part of the assembly?
Thank you for your feedback ! Unfortunately, each car requires particular replacement and everything depends on a technical condition of car parts units. Our videos are informative in the replacement sequence. Best regards, Autodoc.
![How to change front wheel bearing on OPEL CORSA S93 [TUTORIAL AUTODOC]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/-dUNE-6HQfk/mqdefault.jpg)
A great video. No need for words as everything was plain to see.
Thank you for the feedback! We are glad that our tutorial was helpful for you. Stay tuned and follow our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.
So basically take it to a garage with a lift and a hydraulic press !!
The tool at 03:10 is called a "ball joint splitter" - not entirely essential. Can use a pry tool and a hammer, or a big flat-head screwdriver.

TheHijuja1 well said
It's a man job...if you need help, take it to a garage
mate would a wheel bearing go bad if its been sitting in my kitchen draw for 5 years without any sealed pakaging
That depends on what you've been throwing on to it. If it sat in the drawer and was not subject to any impacts, it should be fine, you will feel if its rough.
I think the hub nut is supposed to be tightened to the correct torque, not put on with an air gun...

Tried hitting the centre with a socket and hammer and it didn’t come out? Like really tried hitting it. What do I do? :(

and where too

1. Shock Absorber
lower mounting bolts.

And we are supposed to trust a guy who puts a wheel on with an impact gun? and does not use thread lock on the caliper bolts.
Thank you for the feedback!This video is considered to be an informative one, and it is approximate. Best regards, Autodoc

If it's that quick and easy why do garages charge so much to do these jobs?

No I only need the hydraulic press :D
There are other special tools if you don't have a press.
tut tut not using impact socket on an impact gun
Thank you for the feedback! You are right, in some cases it is rationally to use an ordinary wrench.Best regards, Autodoc.
