The correct wheel bearing change - Generation 1

Wheel bearing damage announces itself in different ways. You can often hear the typical rolling or humming noises that are often audible when cornering. There are many different causes. Defective seals, for example, allow spray water to penetrate the inside of the wheel bearing. As a result, the grease is flushed out, causing high friction between the balls or rollers and the bearing rings. The surfaces are thus damaged and the above-mentioned noises occur. At this point the wheel bearings need to be replaced immediately. However, as there are different designs and therefore different repair methods, you should pay attention to a few things. Otherwise, you could damage the new wheel bearing during installation. This video shows an example of a wheel bearing repair on the front axle of a Renault Clio III with ABS. This wheel bearing unit is the so-called Generation 1, i.e. a 2-row angular contact ball bearing without a flange. The repair method shown here represents the optimum repair procedure. ▬▬ Parts ▬▬▬▬ FAG Wheel Bearing Kit Art.
