    Easiest way to find a bad wheelbearing is to spin the wheel and put a finger on the spring.
    If the spring vibrates the bearing is no good

    Great ingenuity using the breaker bar head and a spanner to connect to the torque wrench, nice. Sad to see the 940 go but you have improved it's chances of staying on the road for a good few years yet. That wheel bearing assembly is great, I used to hate pressing out bearings and then trying to press on new ones.

    • @Involvod
      @Involvod  2 года назад +2

      Thanks! I hope so, let's hope it ends up in the right hands. Me too I've pressed bearings before and it's definitely one of my least favourite jobs 😬

    I didn’t realise that the 940 did not have tapered roller bearings on the front like all other cars. I will have to look at mine. When you brought out the long breaker bar, I thought. Bloody Hell! Shouldn’t it be nearly finger tight. Lol

    I know I'm sorta broken record about it. Even though the healthcare system in Germany is pretty nifty a Doctor's Office visit to remove sharp rust particles is SUBSTANTIALLY more annoying than wearing some safety glasses. (From who knows BTW, it isn't fun.)

    Mine had severe wobble under braking but no detectable play by hand.
    I found alot of poor quality bearing when I tried to order it. They were like half the width, don't buy the cheapest parts.
    Torque is basically as high as you can get it with 60cm breaker.
