- In this video I show how I change a bearing on a VOLVO 240 Estate.
This is the front bearing which has a lot of play in it and needs changing.
The procedure shown is the same if you need to change brake discs as well. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Just watched the video again to get things straight before tackling my 1984 Volvo 240 Estate, just clicked over into its 40th year! didn't have a press so (very carefully) used the freeze/heat method as I didn't have any suitable sockets etc tot use a drift, you have made a really clear and informative video without any macho stuff, a rarity on YT these days :)
I changed the bearings on my 93 240 yesterday using this video as a guide. Very helpful-thanks!
I couldn’t tell which way the rubber seal goes on so hopefully I did it right. Thanks again 😹
Great to hear! :D
Came here to find out how to remove the outer race from the hub, love your slow and methodical explanations. Will be back to watch more.
Great to hear! :D Welcome!
Thank you for making this excellent how-to! I have a 88' Volvo 240dl and replacing my bearings for the first time today. Feeling more confident and ready to go after watching this video. Sometimes the Hanes manual just isn't enough...you need to see someone doing the steps!
Good luck Kim! :D thank you
how did it go?
Great video. I like how quickly you move through each task. You’re an excellent teacher.
Thanks! :)
Awesome tutorial on how to change the bearings
Thanks!
Excellent video. I’m about to change my bearings, rotors and pads and you helped me greatly. Thank you!
Glad to help! thanks for watching.
Hi Seaside Garage - I want to thank you for all your details and for teaching us other tips while you are doing the project. You are great.
Thanks! :D
You do a great job of explaining things. Thank you!
Thanks you Damiun! :)
I am doing a front wheel bearing on my 1992 240 wagon very soon, i did both rear wheel bearings a while back.
That wasn't very hard either, but a hydraulic press would have been nice for me to have for that job.
Thanks for showing us how it's done :)
Ive done many in the past (other cars) without a press... and its certainly doable... but its so much more controlled with a press... and really enjoyable!
Thanks for watching!
I did this yesterday after watching your video twice.
I have no press and also no perfect fitting socket set to tap the outer baring in.
so I had cut the old one and heated that up so it could be bent a bit smaller.
this worked perfect to tap the new one in with a piece of wood on-top of that.
thanks cool dude
Good to hear! :D
Surprised this video has so few views. Maybe just because of the specificity. Instructions very clear you gave me a lot of confidence for when the time comes for me to do this
Thanks Bishop... :)
A video for the rear bearings are coming up soon... :)
Awesome video, cheers from NZ!
Thanks!
I would recommend packing these kinds of bearings with grease, instead of just coating them in grease. Put a slob of grease in your palm and rub the bottom of the bearing against your palm until it comes out the top of the bearing. Just a little tip to make your bearings last a little longer:)
good tip :)
@@SeasideGarage i think by the book its the «correct way» of doing roller bearings like these, you can also just coat them in grease and it’ll work fine but they wont last as long. Packing them keeps the whole bearing greased at all times:)
Thanks for the video! You saved me doing a lot of guesswork while putting my hubs back together.
Thank you for watching! :)
Nice car. I have a 244dl my front bearings started screaming today. This vedio helps out alot. I didn't know I need to suspend the hard brake lines. Would have been catastrophic. Thank you.
Perfect! Glad to hear it helps others :)
Beautifully explained and shot! My 84 244 has developed a whining noise plus the hubs are hot and I suspect this is the problem. I'm going to attempt this thanks to your vid!
Thanks Steven!
I think you have a problem with a dragging brake and not the bearing from what you describe... I could be wrong tho.. :)
Don't have a 240 (mine's a 940 with ABS) but this was still great to watch. Man, I need a workshop like this. Off to price up lifts!
Heat and a lift is the best thing I have ever done to my hobby! ;)
I love that Volvo. Absolutely love it. I must get one before they become too expensive. Great video as always! Even more important to reuse gloves at the moment since they are so hard to buy! All the best!
Yes the Volvo is a gem! I dont think it will be long before they are impossible to buy for cheap... But right now they cost almost nothing here! They are so versatile and strong..
@@SeasideGarage In Sweden have that time alredy come that the Volvo 240 is on high price 😊 😉. I own one 240 1984 as i have and use daily.
fantastic video
Thanks!
Great video!
Very good job, well explained. Thanks for chaining 👍
thank you!
Cool and very helpful video! Thank you!
Thanks Pierre!
Another great tutorial. thanks !
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video! I did it tanks to you! Had my doubts since i dont have a press, But i used the bench vice and that worked for me 😉
Great! glad I could help!
Bra video! Och bra jobbat, fortsätt så👍
Tak!
👍 👌 Nice and good video of the work. And greetings from Sweden. You are welcome to the country and i hope you will get a nice time and trip and se a lot of things and of the country.
Thank you!
We actually ended up not going to Sweden this time... It doesn't seem as the best time for traveling... but when stuff hopefully gets more normal we sure will!
@@SeasideGarage Ok. Yes it is a little hard time now since the fkn covid. But i think and belives the country of Sweden still is in place when time is on and you can take a trip to that country 😉.
Thanks for making these videos. My 240 has already benefitted greatly from them. I am interested in knowing more about this blue scissor lift you are using
Great to hear! I think I made a video about the lift... but I am not sure ;)
Don't know why it recommended this. Anyway. Has to be pleasant.
Carry on
Awesome job,👍👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌
thanks!
The video was incredibly helpful Do you possibly know where to get replacement hubs?. I've been looking for months
Really nice job on this, I appreciate your enthusiasm and that you seem to genuinely enjoy working on the Volvo. I'm going to attempt this job soon, and I was wondering if you need a special socket for that castle nut? Much appreciated!
No special tool is needed... :) Thank you!
@@SeasideGarage Thank you!
Excellent video! Will be tackling this job this weekend on my 240. What size sockets did you use to press the races in?
Cheers
Cant remember exactly... But one that fits perfect... ;)
I hope it worked out for you! :)
thanks for this vid
Thanks you for watching!
Yes, the 240 brake system was built with safety in mind. It has two fluid lines to each of the front calipers, so that if there is any type of brake failure you will still have one of the two lines working as it should. It works this way... both same front caliper pistons (either upper or lower) connect to one of the back rear calipers, then the other set of calipers up front connect to the other caliper in the rear. So this way if one of the two brake systems goes out you will still have a brake system.
Its very clever!
It indeed is extremely safe to collide with a Volvo. If you're sitting in a Saab. ;-)
Really good video ! I need to change the wheel bearing in the rear on my 240. Does the bearings look the same in the rear ?:)
Glad you liked it!
No the rear is very different! But I will make a video about the rear in a week or two! :)
@@SeasideGarage okay! Much appreciated, you got one more subscriber :D
@@Frilox Nice to hear! :D
Kanon video.. Har lige købt en 240 så din kanal er som sendt far himmelen
Perfekt! Velkommen til... :)
CAN YOU BUY THE ENTIRE HUG ASSEMBLY WITH NEW BEARINGS ALREADY PRESSED IN? BECAUSE ILL BE CHANGING MY WHEEL STUDS AS WELL.
I dont actually know if you can.
I had an Austin 1800 on which the front o/s bearing collapsed whilst I was driving - scary. When I pulled the hubcap off to see what had happened I had one hand at the top and one hand at the bottom - the bottom hand was showered with red hot ball bearings. Since then if T remove a hubcap its always one hand either side lol
:O Thats pretty intense! It must have made a horrible sound!
Nice! Wheres the lift from?/sweden
The lift is a Italian one... its from Ravaglioli... its brilliant!
dejligt og se en dansker der arbejder med volvo på youtube :)
:) må snart få fingrene i en volvo igen.... De er savnet her i garagen!
@@SeasideGarage haha ja gør det jeg er klar til og se med👍🏻 er selv en stolt ejer af en 244gl fra 79, bedste køb jeg nogensinde har gjort😁
@@SeasideGarage hej igen, vis du går nogle mangler nogle motor projekter har jeg en b21 og b23 stående med manuel 5 trins overdrive til dem begge, kunne det være noget?😁
@@danhansen8329 Hej Dan!
Tak for tilbuddet! men jeg holde lidt igen med flere investeringer for tiden ;)
@@SeasideGarage bare I orden, men sig til vis du en dag for lyst😁
Front wheel bearing only. Does not show r/r rear wheel bearing and seals.
Hi I want to buy a Volvo 244 GLE D6 engine
