(Oh and he’s the rabbit in the video if you’re wondering)
IMPORTANT NOTES
A long bar was used to release the initial fusion tension between the wheel bearing and housing with the tool, but do not use this when installing the new bearing as the more controlled use of a standard wrench slowly and surely should be used .
Coat the wheel bearing housing bore with
Molybdenum Molykote grease G 052 723 A2 (sometimes included in fitting kit) high temp/high pressure.
Do not tilt the wheel bearing while inserting, keep it perfectly straight and inline with the hub bore. This is the hardest thing to do and will take patience and gentle pressure.
I found I needed to tap the bearing around evenly for quite a while until the bearing found it's path and I was confident the pulling tool would drive the bearing home.
Pull the bearing into the bearing hub housing until the bearing meets the inner shoulder and the metal ring circlip is heard to click into position
Do not grease the lock-nut thread on the drive shaft.
Grease the propeller shaft spine only with polycarbamide grease
Polycarbamide grease G 052 142 A2
take your time; this is a precision job not for the faint hearted.
Below is a guide only to the manufacturers recommended tightening torque settings for this specific Skoda Fabia car, please check your own car's specific settings:
Skoda Fabia 1.9 TDI Mk1 72mm bearing
Cover plate to wheel-bearing housing - 10 Nm
Phillips head screw holding brake disc to wheel hub - 4 Nm
Do not grease thread of the outer joint of the drive shaft - 50 Nm initial.
Use a new twelve-point nut for the drive shaft to wheel hub.
It is recommended NOT TO GREASE THE THREAD OF THE OUTER DRIVE SHAFT when applying a new nut only
Twelve point outer drive shaft nut - 50 Nm + 45° with power-assisted steering. Re-check after approx. 100 miles
New locking nut for track rod end to steering arm - 20 Nm + 90°
bottom ball joint to bottom wishbone - Use new bolts and lock washer - 20 Nm + 90°
FS-II brake caliper to wheel bearing housing - 25 Nm
FS-III brake caliper to wheel bearing housing - 28 Nm

![How to change front wheel bearing on SEAT LEON 1P1 [TUTORIAL AUTODOC]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/jxjuDmHDPwY/mqdefault.jpg)
Excellent tutorial. Lots of detail. It answered all the outstanding questions in my head.
May i ask - which make of kit did you use? Sealey make a kit, but i've noticed some far cheaper ones. Which would you recommend?
Thanks. Good advice. Will give it a go next week.
It’s a Chinese no make kit I got it from eBay about £50 but I’ve done a few of these vw t5 bearings with it , it’s spot on mate 👍
I finally replaced my wheel bearings last week (I originally watched the video one year ago). I found your video very helpful with understanding how to use the bearing kit. Thanks very much for taking the time to create the instruction video. Spot on!
You're very welcome, glad you managed to do the bearing. It is a good feeling doing it for yourself, job well done sir!
This is such a useful video! That's why I love CZcams and people like you, who share their knowledge with the rest of us!
Thank you. I believe we all grow stronger if we share our knowledge :-)
Good video mate.explaining all the way.fantastic. no boring music.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks :-)
Thank you for this excellent video. It was very helpful and a must watch for me to take on the wheel bearing on my skoda fabia. No problems worth mentioning thanks to your tutorial. The Only thing I did not consider was the rust and corrosion back at the spindel where the larger disk should be placed when mounting the hub. I shuold have taken time cleaning it up to get the alignement easier and more efficient.
Thank you once again from a greatful swede and sorry in advance for my spelling.
Thank you, you're very welcome, glad the video helped. i guess the weather in Sweden is quite hard on the underside of cars, but at least I don't think you use salt in winter like the UK which accelerates rust terribly :-)
Clear and concise, just what you need in an instructional video 👍
Glad you liked it 👍
You sir, are an absolute hero. I've just bought the same kit and had no idea how to use it, so thanks for your wisdom!
You are very welcome Andrew Jones, glad to have helped :-)

Really good guide here, will help me do front bearing on sons Seat Ibiza 👍
Thanks, Hope it will help everyone tackle these bearings :-)
I did this job yesterday and found the 36 mm socket I had bought specifically for this hub nut was slightly to big to fully engage with the nut( on the outside of the hub ) so check that your socket fully seats inside of your hub I used an OE spec cheap hub so maybe the measurements are a bit off and double check your driveshaft engages easily with the new bearing BEFORE fitting the new bearing you never know and checking might save pulling the bearing out again if it's the wrong one!
Anyway I ground of 1-2mm from the outer of my socket so it fits perfectly and the jobs a good un.
Fantastic detailed video mate… I’m doing to order the tool set and give my 2011 VW polo front wheel bearings a go.
Great to hear that, take your time and be steady when you come to pressing in the bearing, I can't stress how important it is to make sure the bearing goes in straight. I used a lot more small taps with a hammer than what is in the video to make sure the bearing went in correctly before pressing home with the tool. Good luck and let me know how you get on :-)
Great video :-) Just did a front wheel bearing on a VW Polo and this video was a big help. Thanks! :-)
Thank you very much, most appreciated. Glad your Polo is up
and running again (almost the same car). It is very satisfying when done right
:-)
hi friend which polo model do you have?
Excellent tuto, très bien détaillé tout y est, procédure de démontage, remontage, outil, couple de serrage, de la mécanique dans les règles de l'art,👍 beau travail!!
eh bien merci beaucoup pour ces gentils mots, ils m'aident vraiment à continuer à les faire.
Merci encore :-)
Amazing video! Thank you for this, wouldn't of even tried otherwise!
Very much appreciated, Thanks, it is great to hear that it gave you confidence to tackle it.

Hope it goes OK for you, take care aligning it back in, a little at a time until it is seated fully. Very satisfying when done. Many thanks :-)
Great video , thanks for sharing .
Thanks for watching :-)
Great video helps me👍
Glad to hear it, thanks :-)
Well done, very interesting. My garage charged me £60 labour to do my front hub while I went and got a nice coffee... To me it didn't seem worth buying the tool considering I seldom get bearing trouble, still, a good informative video.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. £60 was a very good price I would say, but then there is the bearing, how much was the charge for that? I borrowed my tool of a mate so I was lucky really and enjoy the satisfaction of doing it :-)
Nice to see your video so useful
Thanks a lot :-)

Excellent video . Thank you . I didn't notice any mention of reconnecting the track rod . I don't know if that's a problem . Any way Thank you very helpful in deed
Thanks. There isn't an issue with the tack rod, you just reattach and away you go, although messing with the car quite a bit like this may put the tracking out a tad, so worth checking later.

Bonjour,
Belle et heureuse année 2023 ✨
Bravo pour ta vidéo très professionnelle
je ne comprends pas l'anglais, mais avec toi j’ai tout compris 👌👍
Bien le Bonjour de France (ville de Strasbourg 🤗☺💕)
Vous êtes les bienvenus. Bonjour du Royaume-Uni. Content que mon style anglais te plaise. Je viens du nord du Royaume-Uni dans les 'Yorkshire Dales' Le dialecte change
des mots comme 'eye' pour 'yes' = oui 👌👍 :-)
Best leave the abs sensor in if you can 9 times out of ten if you try removing it it will break then you have to mess about drilling and replacing it , this is very similar to the t5 transporter 👍
Agree, as long as you line up the extraction/refit tool correctly and it has the facility ;-)
HatBoyHarvey yes that’s the one it’s much les hassle 👍
Very good video 👍
Thank you 👍
Great video, is very helpful. This tool is to be used in situ with the hub on the car. However they can be pressed with a hydraulic press with the steering knuckle off the car.
Yes, you can use the tool in a machine press or some other collar to hold this type of bearing if you have one. It is very important that everyone knows that YOU CAN'T PUSH THE BEARING IN FROM THE FLANGE SURFACE. :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey the haynes manual shows this bearing being pressed in by a 5 ton press. The tools not needed if you are using a press. Grab a haynes manual and see for yourself.
@@ajfessey_landpirate8014 Thanks, Just had a look. Yes it is possible as you say, but they are useing a couple of pieces of flat metal bar to bridge the space between the bearing and hub. If you have a press and are confident this type of spacer/s won't slip at all then I agree, it will be possible, same goes for taking it out, by the look of it they are propping the hub up with angle iron, again 'if it slips'. Only OK if you know what you are doing and actually have a press and the space, although one would come in handy for other stuff. I still think the flange tool is better for doing this particular bearing :-)
Hi Hat Boy Harvey, thanks for posting your MK1 skoda fabia films. We have the same car and are experiencing some of the same problems. Your clear and straight forward style is easy to follow!
One question on the drive shaft nut, 36mm, 12 point socket, does it need to be a 'deep impact' socket? The one I purchased, not sure if its deep impact, is 50mm diameter and wont reach the nut in the recess!!
impact sockets are made for impact driver as they give a little to take the shock of the drivers, I never use them. I prefer to be quiet, the noise of those drill drivers that guys use drive me crazy and I'm crazy enough right. my socket was a little close too and is maybe slightly under 50mm diameter and fit on (draper) worked fine. Maybe take a tape measure to the shop, return the old one and find a thin walled deep one :-)
Thank you meode. Good vid! I watched this a few times before doing a dummy run on the new bearing and Ive got the hang of it now. Thanks again sport!
Thanks, good luck doing it :-)
But to be clear. To replace the bearing with fuse body on the car and not of the car this is the proper way of doing it ! So thanks for the good video
Thanks, glad you liked the video. How did you do it without pushing onto the flange?
@@HatBoyHarvey i take of the complete suspension body ( fuse ) part . With the bearing stil in it ( cut off the plate disk connected to the bearing ( whith the wheel bolt threads ) then i just do it like I do almost all other bearings . Put the bearing with body under a hand driven ( hydraulic ) pressure machine . Using busses or sockets with smaller diameter and push out the bearing with the pressure machine .
When placing the new one i turn everything upside down and put the new bearing below and push the body with pressure machine on top and press of down at the new bearing... just have to use something like little metal plates to keep the metal ring at its place and to not put pressure on the inner( circle bearing ) ring or else the new bearing will brake. Then just press down untill you here the click sound.
With this way you dont need the special kitt but you do need to have a pressing machine. But these are second hand way cheaper then the toolkit around here haha .
yes, presses are widely used for bearings in garages etc, but it is the flange/collar that pose the main issue with these bearings. This design is harder for us mechanics also to install. Glad you could find some metal plates to hold the bearing when pressing home, did you make these or can you buy them for presses?
Need to do mine but not paying for a tool only to use it once can't even afford to rent one hope the garage will help me out
Have a look at: czcams.com/video/562_Rfm0wrs/video.html to check if it really is the wheel bearing as it could just be that the brakes are just sticking or excessively worn on one side, which should be noticeable when driving
I just took the hub off and used hydraulic press to press it out and then press it in. Even when using a press it was tight to come out.
How did you get around the lip when pressing in the bearing?
Pressed it bang in the middle on the inner race with correct bearing adaptor. When the bearing was out give the hub a good clean with wire wheel to get all rust off. Then pressed the new one in with a little grease applied. As a mechanic I have the hydraulic press but you can buy special tools all day long which can get costly so we have to improvise .good video mate
Brilliant thanks
Thanks, you're very welcome :-)
Nice job and explanation, and you put all the info even reference numbers for grease but just not tool part number?
Thank, hope it is useful for you. The tool I use is not the VAG tool but a third party tool for these bearings. If you search for 72mm VAG wheel bearing tool there are many examples for your choice. You can do this with a vertical press with some difficulty, so I would only recommend using a split-flange tool like the one I used :-)
OEM tool parts:
1 - -MP 6-414/2- with -MP 6-414/5-
2 - -MP 6-414/1-
3 - Separating device -E-37- from V.A.G 1459 B/2
4 - -MP 6-414/10-
5 - -MP 6-414/6-
@@HatBoyHarvey
Thanks for the info.
I imagine it can be done with vertical press but you said and I read elsewhere, that there is possibility to mess up.
you could always price up taking the hub into a local garage just for them to press the bearing in ;-}
Great video harvey just a quick question do you have to loosen the drive shaft nut before you raise the car ie to stop the drive shaft turning ???
Thanks, yes, but you need to take off the centre cap for the socket and bar, so you will be pulling the wheel off then back on again to release the hub nut, then back off again if you get my drift (off/on/off) :-)
Excellent tutorial, thank you! Can you give me a link to the toolkit, or what is the name of this kit?
Thank you! 😊
Thanks. All the links and info is in the description :-)
Great video thanks for posting :-)
Is this kit specifically for the audi/vw/seat
Thanks
Thanks, you're very welcome. The kit is specifically for 72mm hidden flange type bearing on anything. I don't know if other manufacturers use these bearings or not, but would be good to know and shared :-)
Nice work. Is it the same set up on the new fabia 3.
Thanks, I beleive they are still using the same type of press fit design, but you must check against your particular model for size.
I change these bearings without a special tool kit . If you think logical , the kit is not really needed ! SAVED me about 350 euros
How did you do it without the kit?
hi, really helpful video and am planning on changing my own wheel bearing now just my only problem is trying to buy the grease from the links you have added it looks like you used the Lucas oil heavy-duty grease, however, isn't the one mentioned in the video. so is the Lucas heavy duty grease a fine alternative and if not do you have any recommendations on where i can buy this.
It is really difficult to get the exact specification recommended by skoda for these. i have some trade engineering/automotive bearing grease left over from previous work that you can't get now. The greases recommended in the video are what skoda worksho manual recommends, so I put them in the video. You are lubing the inside of the hub so the bearing goes in easier and needs to withstand high temp/pressure so you can get it out again in the future. In my opinion any high temp/pressure bearing grease will do this ;-) I wouldn't worry too much as long as you don't use chip fat oil or lard you will be fine :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey thank you man you been a big help
Thank for this . I have one to do on a polo . all very clear apart from the last bit . you say 45 degrees , but mark it at 90 degrees ?
Glad it helped. Maybe I should have been clearer when doing that bit, but this was one of my early videos and I could do a better one now and may update it at some stage. I marked it like that as a guide for 45 deg as my eyesight isn't too good, but did torque it correctly. The bolt on ones are much easier, but I think on these smaller cars they may have been worried to use bolt-on ones because less affluent owners may not bother or have reliable torque wrenches or even fit new bolts!
@@HatBoyHarvey thanks for the reply . my question was , you marked 90 degree (quarter turn) , not 45 (8th turn). Still a brill vid , and enough to get me through it . except I just bust my collar bone ! lol .. and it looks like you need 2 good strong arms . so I'll have to wait a bit .
Sorry to hear you broke your collar bone. Are they leaving it to migrate naturally or have you a metal plate?
@@HatBoyHarvey Thanks . I'm on my own ! lol .. even physio is by phone ! ?? 2020 !
Take care with the collar bone, you will soon be up to full health again :-)
What size are them upgraded Allen bolts holding the abs guard on at (1:10) as I need to get some new ones for my fabia, Thankyou 👍
Disc Guard Bolts M6x10mm
super, vdaka
Hi Harvey, im having some issues around the 9:37 mark, it seems your bearing just fits in pretty easily so it can hold itself in place, mine simply doesnt go that far in, i can't get it to hold itself in place. Therefore i can't adjust it to be perfectly aligned - Do you have any tips? If i you need more details let me know
Slowly but firmly tap around the circumstance evenly through the bolt holes onto the tools flange plates until you are happy to attach the tool fully. It isn't easy if you have never installed a bearing before and you may feel you need three hands. Manually tapping the first stages is the best way IMHO to make sure the alignment is correct (I tapped the bearing in a fair way) continually checking alignment (imperative this is perfect) before using the tool to pull the bearing home fully. Hope this helps :-)
Hi can you tell me please what type of Molykote grease you used there seem to be a few different types on ebay eg Molykote B2 plus, Molykote thread paste, Molykote 44m medium grease Thank you in advance Dave
Molycote is a trade mark brand that VW/Audi group recommend in their workshop specification. I will put the specs in the description, but what is important here is to use high temp high pressure grease and Molycote is a synthetic grease that out-performs mineral based grease. I used some old high pressure/temp industrial bearing grease that I have used over many years without issue, but Molycote is recommended.
What puller kit did you use. It looks a good kit but can't find it on internet. Please help
Thanks for watching, hope it helped. Mine was borrowed so it may be an older one. If you search for VAG 72mm bearing kit you will find one the same. Just make sure it is for your specific bearing and that it is indeed the 72mm one on your car. hope you find one and fix your car, not easy, precise job, but highly satisfying when done right :-)
hi!
how do i install a simular hub/bearing like yours?only differance is i have wheel studs mounted,do i have to remove those to be able to use that tool and will there be enough clearence to put the studs back in?? or how would you go about it?
Thank you//Fredde
What vehicle, model engine and year?
Is this Bob Mortimer?
hi my friend ! works for polo 6r ? i think it's same
I pretty much think it is the same also, but I would double check it is the same size for your exact car, before buying - good luck in doing this, if it is what you are planning :-)
Hub bearing bolt is 50nm + 45 degree
Yes just mark the nut socket or surround to check this
I'm doing this just shortly but in the video you mention the circlip clicks into place. Which circlip thought? You didnt mention or show one up until that point. I bought a new hub and a new wheel bearing but neither of them came with a circlip.
The circlip is the wavy ring attached on the front edge of the bearing behind the flange. It self-fits into the front groove on the hub when it seats into it's final position that I show being cleaned out. You can't see it click, just hear it. double check you have the right parts for your car also before you start.
@@HatBoyHarvey Ahhh that's perfect and explains a lot. Thank you. I had to buy a new hub / bearing carrier as i have the VRS and the caliper mount is seperate from the hub. I removed the caliper mount to fit the new brake dust cover and when i torqued it back up , it stripped out. Turned out someone had helicoiled it before.
So new wheel bearing, new wheel hub / carrier and looks like i need to buy a bearing press as well. Than was an expensive adventure for me.
Which bearing press should be used for this shape of Fabia? I seen Gen 1 and Gen 2 etc on ebay
72mm vag wheel bearing tool. I wouldn't recommend doing these with a standard press, but it is possible.
@@HatBoyHarvey yeah phoned s few local garages to query if they had the tool to get them to press it in for me and save some money but they all just use a regular hydraulic press so i think i'll buy one of these tools and give it a go myself and see how i get on.
Did you have a plastic ring in your box? Does this ring need to be installed? Can you tell me its usefulness? by thanking you
Clean it up and refit it. it is a dust seal protector for the bearing. Bearing kits often come with new ones.
Hello my friend how are you ...can you help me... I change the wheels from summer to winter but with one bolt i have problem my threads inside are broken ( in wheel bearing threads ) what need to do ... can i open with something new wheel threads ..
Thank you
If the threads are damaged inside the wheel hub housing then you have to replace the hub/bearing assembly. Don't be tempted to re-thread as the wheel would never be safe. Some may re-thread to save money, but they put themselves and others at risk. Fit a good quality bearing kit and have peace of mind :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey oooo thank you my friend a lot one more question WHICH MARK is good quality and good price you recommend me ..?
i have a skoda classic hpi 1.2l,, what tool do i need,,thanks
Same as in the video, 72mm I believe, please D/check with supplier. You can measure it from the back of the hub when you take the drive shaft out.
My frind how are you I have just one questien I need to replace CV axle and the old one have the plastic ring in the top of cv joint but the new one some is the OEM number for my car does not have it ... it is okey to mount it without that Plastic ring or plastic protector ABS ? I have one old metal ring from the last cv joint but that does not fitt in the new cv joint or cv axle .... What should I do
Are we talking about: 6Q0407623E ?
Yes my friend how can I find it online?
I just put the part number in the search bar and found a number of companies selling it for around £5
Audi A4 Haynes Workshop Manual: Removal and refitting of drive shaft. "Slacken the hub bolt 90 degress WITH
THE VEHICLE RESTING ON ITS WHEELS". When the job is done, refit the wheel and "LOWER THE CAR TO THE - GROUND", then torque the hub bolt". Clearly then, this does Not damage the wheel bearing!
This is my take on it and I am sticking by it. If you load the bearing before tightening there is a possibility of bearing surface damage such as scoring because: as you tighten the bearing from an unaligned side loaded position the surfaces are being pulled into central alignment in an unequal manner. No damage can occur if you torque up the bearing first as the surfaces remain central when tightening.
Please share link for your bearing tool
I don't have one as the tool was borrowed, but if you search for vag bearing tool there are many :-)
Need your help again im using everything basically the same as you but the bearing wont crack loose ive got a spanner on the other side but it wont budge ???
make sure you grease the shaft and then it is just a question of controlled torque (more than you imagine). There is a reason I used a large scaffold tube over the socket bar! It will break loose as it has nowhere to go (penetrating fluid around the bearing edge if you like). Good luck :-)
Im using a large bar over the breaker bar also mate but it just keeps slowly spinning round and i cant hold the spanner on the back nut when im trying to put total pressure on the breaker bar and pole i dont get how your back nut did not even move and you had no spanner on it but mine keeps turning surely once im tight that back nut should not be able to turn ???
I understand, maybe I was lucky that time with the back nut. I'd try and use a ring spanner long enough to jamb it against something like the top of the hub that meets the strut where it juts out. Put some temporary thick tape around it to stop it falling off as you may need both hand on the breaker side. it just needs to hold long enough for it to break/crack start the bearing off :-)
Is this the same for a seat ibiza 6j5 2011?
I believe it is the same 72mm bearing, but double/triple check before you buy. I only have data on models up to 2008 which it does fit.
what was wrong with bearing, how did you notice..?
I noticed the noise was different on corners. Take a look at my video czcams.com/video/562_Rfm0wrs/video.html it hopefully shows you how to diagnose an issue. :-)
Is this the process for Seat Ibiza 6L ?
Virtually the same :-)
Tried to do mine but ended up breaking my brand new bearing press :/ no matter how much heat i applied and wd40 :/ almost bent the break bar too.
Oh dear, sorry to hear that, sounds like it is well seized into the hub. All I can suggest is remove the hub, replace it or attempt to drill or grind it out. Best of luck, hope you can get it sorted and back on the road :-)
Como se llama la herramienta para retirar el velero
No tiene un nombre especial. La herramienta es específica para el tipo y tamaño del rodamiento (balero) individual :-)
How long do these take on average?
It's all relative to experience. Any job can be fast, but these are not something you should rush. The bearing needs to done right and that means a steady controlled methodical pre-planned approach is best always. If this wasn't Dane right and the hub collapsed at speed it could be a life or death situation not just for others, but yourself included! About 2-3 hours :-)

Glad to have helped :-)
What is this tool set you used,
72mm VAG bearing tool
@@HatBoyHarvey thanks, going to try it,your video is fantastic,cheers
@@HatBoyHarvey is they a cheeper tool,to do the job,thanks
You maybe able to borrow one from another vag owner from one of the forums if they are near to you. I've seen people use a bearing press, but I would not recommend this method without the correct door plates. There are some cheaper none branded tools available online, but it is like buying bearings - You have to pay more for quality products.
sorry what i meant was i have alloys on so do not have access to the main nut until i take the wheels off and i cant crack the main nut like this.
I would use another wheel, hopefully you still have the original wheels
Cant you take hub off and use press
You could do that, but the shoulders of the bearing have to be held with something not the top which is the hard part, otherwise the bearing will be damaged .
If doing this use a hydraulic jack as the widowmaker Jack's are not designed for this purpose
If you notice there is an axle stand holding the car up, the side jack is extra.
@@HatBoyHarvey oh I didn't spot that my bad
if you buy the removal tool make sure its the right size...Got one off ebay which said its was for vw cars.....absolute rubbish ,didnt come anywhere near the correct size...kept it in my tool chest till i needed to use it.....what a con....no doubt my recycling village were happy with the metal i dropped off.Check your bearing size first,like i should have done...ebay have cheap tools for a reason
Absolutely. Please check bearing size before tool purchase :-)
Why do my cars always need special tools 😭😭😭😭
