I didn't have to drop the strut at all. I just used a 3/8 extension and a shallow 18mm socket. I broke one of the extensions, but the others held up. took me about an hour and a half per side. I was taking my time.
I’m needing to do this and I’m gonna do it when I do my brakes and rotors. Glad you guys made this video. I’m always confident following the instructions you guys put out. My oil filter housing gasket was a breeze thanks to the video from you guys as well so I fully trust that I’ll be a job I can do myself.

@@fkingbear1834 Thanks man, unfortunately the Bentley manual doesn't help too much with a lot of AWD specifics. I got the job done a couple months ago and the xDrive wheel bearings are pressed into the knuckles instead of bolted on. Vehicular DIY's car is RWD. Cheers!
lol you really don’t have to remove the pinch bolts, just turn the steering wheel left and right to give the torque wrench space. Removing the pinch bolts loses the alignment
Great job. Thanks you for the hard work. I Love the videos very much always. Please show us how to do the rear bearings too. There seems to be no video about the rear axle yet.
@@mickstick2830 i replaced my oil pan gasket on my e90 xdrive. i m not a mechanic, and it wasnt too bad. one of the guys from FCP has a video for 'oil pan gasket xdrive wagon.' i just took notes of his tips and he is on cue. thanks
There’s lots of videos out there doing that job, it’s a pain in the ass but I managed to replace it in place. Just gotta get the right tools and a little bit of strength.
any other diy for this doesn't mess with the pinch bolts, and instead they just turn the wheels a bit to get the suspension out of the way. good job overcomplicating this...
@@TheJuiced300 exactly, no need to mess with the suspension. you can get two bolts off with the wheels straight, and the other two bolts with the wheels turned all the way.
@@TheJuiced300 ruclips.net/video/wwMCmGw5erE/видео.html here's a better video showing it can be done. if you don't have the type of wrench shown in this video, it's still possible to do with extensions and sockets
What model torque wrench do you use in this video? Looking to upgrade to an electric wrench with angle and need a recommendation. Thank you in advance.
Bolt removal was killing me. If you have issues save yourself some time and heat up the tip of the bolts on the hub for 3-4 minutes each with a basic LP torch and they'll turn like butter.
Great video, just quick one regarding X5 F15 M50D 2017 oil change. In Uk my vehicle has been serviced from new twice it’s been in the garage the oil level is 1ltr of oil short. When I contact the dealership they said that they never fill to the maximum mark ie electronic readings and dip stick. There excuse is due to the engine developers a flood think they said it’s the DPF it makes the oil level to much. I purchased the vehicle new and from BMW the oil level was on maximum and the dip stick also shown maximum. Have you ever heard this excuse or is this a new thing. Be grateful if anyone has heard about this 👍
Another great E9X video. If you guys wanna do video on a clutch and SMFW conversion on a E91 xdrive let me know. I'll order the parts and bring the beer 🍻 .
does this apply to the e60 aswell? it looks the same in the front as the e90... in e60 it seems people remove the control arms and tie rod to get more access but i could be wrong, anyone that can guide me? if these steps are nessecary
@@toyo1732 i tried but i got a frozen bolt on the suspension so i had to leave it to the shop, but it didnt look like they' messed with the control arms so idk how they did it
Hi Shifty, usually the bearings get noisy as they start to fail. In extreme cases you will have play in your wheel, and a full failure your wheel will excuse itself from the vehicle.
@@fcpeuro thank you, I’ll look at replacing the main arms on the front first then get it rebalanced. The sound hasn’t changed and it tends to occur more so when driving 60mph +
@@shiftyuk having a similar issue with my car. Replaced control arms, balanced tires fixed a bent rim, and did sway bar links. Still there. Did you end up fixing your’s?
I thought the wheel bearing replacement came with a grease fitting. Who is so powerful, that they can't install a grease fitting? Someone out there is very powerful, or just doesn't care. A grease fitting is a sign of caring. Paycheck first, quality second. Settle for a greasy paycheck, and a dry bearing.
You'll notice these are a pre-pressed sealed bearing. the grease is sealed in, and these are meant to be replaced over time as opposed to serviced with a grease fitting
I've sworn more changing a Nissan Pathfinder fog light than a right-side headlight xenon module on my E82. Frankly I was expecting it to be worse. I'm used to a 2000 Toyota subcompact in comparison. Complicated, yes. But surprisingly accessible.

For info, BMW state to replace the caliper bracket mounting bolts (front and rear).
Does the speed sensor go into the knuckle or the hub?
Such a well produced video!
Thank you for watching!
Do you have a DIY for the rear on an e90?
There is one on here. Not fcp. Really good info though. It uses cheap tools on amazon to press put the old and install the new.
@@danieljones2435can you give the link?

How do you change rear for awd cars
Great video just did this on my 440i. No longer get warnings on my dash but I still hear a small rattling any ideas what it could be.
Garreth,
upload one for e90 xDrive. People would wanna see how to remove the axle.
agreed. So much more difficult then RWD models.

Hi please can you do an E90 REAR wheel bearing replacement
There’s lots of videos out there doing that job, it’s a pain in the ass but I managed to replace it in place. Just gotta get the right tools and a little bit of strength.
just as simple as I thought, thanks for the vid
Did u say this was for only rear wheel drive? Or this is for xdrive also? Thanks
How about the rear wheel bearing replacement? You have a video?
Are there any e90 xdrive bearing replacement videos

Yeah I wasted a lot of time trying to move it down and then realized I could just access the bolt without doing that lol
Why the bearing hub has been changed? It can go bad?
Bearing inside wears out
Do you have a video on replacing BMW E90 REAR Wheel Bearing DIY (E91, E92, E93 3-Series | E82, E88 1-Series)
Do you really need to replace the bolts as well?
Did you come across the lug studs not matching for some reason my M14x1.25 do not fit
I have a 2010 bmw 335d what series or model is it considered
Hi, can you please link the part for this on your website? thanks.
Love the e92 lci shop car. It's great bc I'm in a 335is
if i change out the wheel hub, does that mean i dont have to change the wheel bearing? the wheel bearing is included in the hub?
Does this mean the bearing is inside the hub and can not be replaced without replacing the hub too?
Please do a shaft steering diy cause i gota do it this weekend. 😅
I assume you should put a mark on the strut where the knuckle was originally tightened ?
What kind of impact is that? M12 Surge?
What model torque wrench do you use in this video? Looking to upgrade to an electric wrench with angle and need a recommendation.
Thank you in advance.
Hi Dave, Gareth is running Matco 1/2 torque wrench for this DIY.

Hey guys great job. Thanks you for the hard work. Please show us how to do the rear bearings too. I Love the videos very much always.
oh, those are easy! just drive down to your local mechanic. trust me, pitfa... even on my zero rust desert car
If you remove the pinch bolt you should get an alignment after.

Ummmm...this is for rear wheel drive ONLY...not all wheel drive.
Can the wheel bearings on E90 fail to the point that it falls off and you lose wheel?
What are the signs of needing these replaced? Vibration in steering? Juddering at 65-85mph? Steering wheel wobble?

when to replace them ?
When the start clunking or making noise
Noise is a large indicator of a bad wheel bearing, typically a loud roaring noise, or even a clunk
I would have done the brakes at the same time.
This doesn't pertain to 328xi bearings are pressed in.
Nice and easy job, but that brake rotor has seen better days!
you aint kiddin

Please don't forget about those of us with X5s. Lighting on this particular video could be improved.
