new hub, but no time to remove the rust first…sorry, thumbs down!!!

Al H says:

I appreciate the walkhrough, thank you.

flexluis 311 says:

How much labor time is involved in replacing a wheel bearing? I was quoted 500 parts and labor to replace one on my 13 VW CC

Bendude says:

This is a good step by step video I just hate how no anti seize is used or any cleaning of the hub assembly

If you're a mechanic and wear gloves you're a fucking bitch!

Joshua M says:

* FYI: The 'non-ribbed 12 point axel bolt' and 'hexagon axel bolt' are torqued at 200 Nm (147 ft lb). Then, when the car is on the ground, +180 degrees *

I was confused on this spec. until I realized there are 3 different drive axel bolts for this suspension through Audi/ VW: Ribbed 12 point, Non-ribbed 12 point, and Hexagon.

Timothy Ortega says:

Need to do this soon…

André Baumgartner says:

I just gotta ask. You got the big Milwaukee impact, but you choose to use the breaker bar instead. How come?

Pete says:

Why clean off the rust with a wire disc just hammer over it

a Jones says:

You are literally smooshing a fresh hub into rust. Hit the inside with a wire wheel and add some anti sieze!!!

blower says:

Lol @ how easy that axle bolt came off…..it was either pre-loosened recently or has been replaced and under torqued – actually it's been replaced as MK5's had the older hex bolt from factory and not the newer 12 point.

Usually those axle bolts are on so tight you have to put a steel pipe on the end of your breaker bar and jump up and down on it and hope to god the head on your breaker doesn't shatter.

JC Mac says:

What size and type of socket for the axle bolt?

Cemal Mehmedov says:

clean the rust 🙁

Daniel Fl. says:

I am probably going to be needing this video soon. Thanks!
