BY FAR-- The Autodoc series ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST TUTORIAL VIDEOS ON CAR REPAIR ON THE INTERNET!!!! No Nonsense, No Talking. Great Camera angles!! Easy to follow and very concise. For those who have a B7 and/or the NMS (North American Passat 2012-2018) these B6 videos are pretty much identical to the B7/NMS procedures.
Thank you for your feedback! We make our videos based on recommendations we get from people who need them. We hope our tutorials were useful for you. Please stay tuned with us for more interesting news. Best regards, Autodoc team!
Clear, straightforward and concise. However, three tips, if I may be so bold: If you are doing this, then unless they have been changed quite recently, change the discs and pads too; do check the torque figures and use a good torque wrench; lastly, if you are taking part anything like this, get the tracking checked when it has all settled down. It will probably be ok [which should then be free] otherwise, get it reset. AUITODOC, thank you.
THANK GOD the german engineers made replacebable bearing and hubs, without having to press a bunch of them in. makes replacing the bearings SOOOOO much easier. and cheaper too.
Like the content. He dosent over explain stuff like others and when they over explain stuff I don't really learn. But this guy just shows the process which is very nice and simple. Only thing that I think he should do is put torque specs for every bolt on the screen like he does with the size of wrenches and stuff. But overall great content.
Thank you for the feedback! We are glad that our tutorial was helpful for you. Your opinion and remarks are very important for us. We will take them into consideration for our next tutorial. Best regards, Autodoc.
@@charles6771 it’s been so long I don’t remember if it was frozen, if it were really tight I would have used a leverage bar to break it free. I did the front passenger side.
So does the CV spline just drop out after taking off the bolt?..what torque is used on that bolt and the ones behind the wheel bearing? It appears you already replace lower ball joints and tie arm?..

Excellent video, hoping to be able to do mine. Encountered frozen torxs bolts on rear brake banjos, mechanic I finally took to, said VW notorious for. Are front wheel bearings an exception? Thank you!!

Torque specs are all over the place. The commenter Ihor D' ark says 70nm + 90 Degrees. I love the fact the knuckleheads at Autodoc are too afraid to post a torque spec
Thank you for your comment. In general, the replacement will be similar, the only thing that may differ slightly in the design features of your car. You can find more detailed information in the technical documentation for the repair of your car. Best Regards, Autodoc team
Thank you for the feedback! The procedure is similar, but has some specifications, related to the differences in the suspension construction. Best regards, Autodoc.
Thank you for the feedback! We are glad that our tutorial was helpful for you. You are absolutely right. All the main bolt connections must be tightened with a torque wrench. This video is considered to be an informative one, so it just shows the sequence of repairs. Best regards, Autodoc.
Our videos are advisory in nature, this video did not include a fragment using a torque wrench. In practice, it is imperative to use a torque wrench and observe the appropriate tightening torques.
Pro tip. Just remove the entire knuckle with the bearing attached, loosen the 4 bolts, then PERSUADE each bolt with a metal mallet to work the bearing out. Fastest and easiest way. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE NEW BOLTS FIRST. Just remember that that knuckle is ALUMINUM so strike carefully. Then I took a wire wheel to the inside of the knuckle to knock down the rust and then applied some grease to stop corrosion in the future. Good luck.
question - do you need a front wheel alignment because you disconnected the lower ball joint OR not. Is it necessary or not needed as location stays the same
Thank you for your feedback ! Yes, thank you, you are right - we made the mistakes in the captions, we meant Torx T12. Unfortunately, we can't change captions, but we will add this information to the description. Thank you for your attention to the details ! Best regards, Autodoc.
@@autodocuk Do you mean an M12 Triple Square Spline Bit (sometimes called a ZXN Triple Square Spline Socket) for the wheel bearing bolts? Using a T55 (which is what fits) will strip those bolts. I speak from experience :)
@@scootchisme seeing as the guy in the demo used an impact wrench to remove, AND INSTALL, the axle retaining bolts (something you're advised to NOT do)... I'd take this video with a grain of salt. Otherwise, yes, you are correct M12 refers to a triple-square bit... NOT a Torx bit.
Thank you for the feedback! No, the car doesn't need an alignment after the bearing replacement. We are glad that our tutorial was helpful for you. Best regards, Autodoc.
This vid is great, but don’t tell you when these are rusted in place. Ours will not come out. We are at a loss. I guess we’re gonna have to take the whole knuckle off and bring it to a press. The way that this hub falls right out is kind of funny because that never happens in reality. Again, excellent video on how to do it but what a car is a lot of mileage and there’s so much rust that’s when it’s a huge problem
Thank you for the feedback! All the main bolt connections must be tightened according to the corresponding repair regulations moment. This information can be found in the technical documentation regarding the repairing of your car. Best regards, Autodoc.
Thank you for the feedback! Generally, there is no difference, still the process might substantially differ in the details from the one that is shown in the video. Best regards, Autodoc.
Thank you for the feedback! In general, the replacement process is similar, well, there may be a constructive difference that is why it is necessary to have the entire special tool. It is best to clarify the exact version of your car. Best regards, Autodoc

Did you encounter frozen bolts (bearing assembly)? Did rear brakes, on jackstands, could not bust the retaining torxs bolts loose.
@@charles6771 it’s been so long I don’t remember if it was frozen, if it were really tight I would have used a leverage bar to break it free. I did the front passenger side.
@@BMXTraining Thank you for the response. Unlike the rear "banjo" issue, the front pivots, enabling breaker bar + for leverage. Again, many Thanks!
@@charles6771 Thats why we have frozen bolts, never tighten using impact driver like this video, it was over torqued, use impact driver only on loosen
Great job, may God bless your entire team and love ones.

Hello
great video. It would be good to see you torque settings on the bolts and nuts.
Thank you for the feedback! We hope that our tutorial was helpful for you. Best regards, Autodoc.
Great video...very detailed !
Thank you for the feedback! Best regards, Autodoc
Does the front wheel tracking/alignment have to be redone after as the ball joint was released?
So does the CV spline just drop out after taking off the bolt?..what torque is used on that bolt and the ones behind the wheel bearing? It appears you already replace lower ball joints and tie arm?..
This video was immensely helpful to me, thank you for making it!

I thought a second torque setting had to be applied to the spindle when the car was on the floor. 1/4 turn?
You can find this information in the technical documentation for the repair of your car directly.
Wow. Most helpful video.
How long should this job take if you don’t have a gun (drill)
We do not have such information, we recommend that you consult your mechanic.
??? Can i do this on a 2004 passat fourmotion also??? Is it the same procedyre???

135nm and 90 degree turn on the 4 bolts that hold in the bearing
Torque specs are all over the place. The commenter
Ihor D' ark
says 70nm + 90 Degrees. I love the fact the knuckleheads at Autodoc are too afraid to post a torque spec
Does unbolting the lower control arm require an alignment afterwards?
Please clarify or rephrase your question.
Autodoc.
Good tutorial, thanks , just It would be perfect if finish each bolt with a torque_meter with the right torque specification..
Thank you for the feedback! We are glad you find our video interesting and informative. Stay tuned. Best regards, Autodoc.
screw the torque specs, I've done 100's of these, never used a torque wrench, unless your a neebee, lol
What’s the difference between Nō24 and 24mm socket
There is no difference.
I have a 2012 Passat 2.5 SE. Will mine be the same as the one in the video?

question - do you need a front wheel alignment because you disconnected the lower ball joint OR not.
Is it necessary or not needed as location stays the same
Yes, after each manipulation of the suspension, it is necessary to do a camber.
In the video for ball joints and control arm those three bolts are 16ml here you say 17🙂
I'm changing mine right now and they are 16.
What is Torx m12? As far as I was aware Torx were only lettered T, TR or TX?
