    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

    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

    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  Před 2 lety +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 😬

    Ahh, you could sense from thousands of kilometres away that I was gonna ding you on no safety glasses again :D
    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.)
