D5254T (to 2002, Audi) - Front wheel bearings. How to replace

amazondean · Oct 15th, 2008, 12:22

OK i believe my problem regarding the front wheel wobble is a knackered wheel bearing, as i can see play as the wheel is wobbled. Has anyone got any advice on how to change them. I have undone the large hub nut,taken off the caliper and can knock the splined shaft inwards but the disc will not come off. Is there anything else holding the disc to the hub that i can't see. I presumed the bearing is in the hub and not the disc.

I would post this on the 850 technical area may give you a better response. This link might help.

If its a 850 its dead handy, you'll need a 36mm socket for the driveshaft nut though. Wheel off, caliper & disc off, break btm ball joint, shaft out, 4 bolts at the rear of the hub, and hit it a slap with a big heavy hammer, watch the abs sensor. If it'll will come out easily, take it out, if not just carefully work round it, only sits out by a few mm anyway.
