wheel bearing help needed
Hi , I need to hange one rear bearing on my 99,5 A4. I have planned to take out the HUB and have it to a shop so they can use their press to have the new bearing into it.
My questions are 1- do I need to change some of the screws/bolt when puting all the parts back together? I know some bolts are only good for one single use. On this AUDI , is this OK If I use same screws( I'm asking that because , I purchased single bearing but noticed that some bearing kits included couple of screws) 2- I have a big industrial clamp (vise) do you think I May be able to insert the bearing into the HUB with that tool? I will have the car align after those repair as I'm changing a tie rod too and 8 control arms (brigining back this car to the AUDI perfect handling) 3-I will change rear sway bar link, but don't have the part for this saturday. i want to know if the car need to ba align after changing rear sway bar links? Your help is appreciated ... If somehone has ever done this D.I.Y repair , advices are more than welcome ... Thanks for your time , and by the way , I will post a tread with picture and details how to change this bearing . |
Re: wheel bearing help needed
I don't think you MUST replace the bolts, altho it may come with some kits.
The pressing of the hub/bearing must be precise and you need to put equal pressure all around the bearing in order for it not to deform. I highly recommend using a shop to do this that has a bearing press kit. you do not need alignment after changing the sway bar link, but you need to align after changing the tie rod ends and control arms... |
