ABS/ ESP / tyre presure issue
« on: January 08, 2016, 11:09:15 am »
Going to have to replace the hub on the rear left wheel as the ABS strip on the bearing is playing up.

Does anyone have or know where to get the part number for the hub? I think I should get it from VW

Also if anyone has any advice that would be great

Tom

I think the one ive ordered is 32mm inner diameter, can anyone confirm this is correct for a 05 plate axx engine?

I just rang local eurocar parts and gave them my reg and they said they had one in stock. they said it was 67£ something so I assume the one in the above link is the one they've reserved for me -with 32mm inner diameter

Also getting slightly confused by the tools needed.

I thought I wouldn't need any extra tools as I have changed the CV joint gaitor previously, but apparently I need a m18 spline and a m14 spline?

Anoyingly I bought a mspline set but it only goes up to 12mm. I don't remember having to use a spline to take the hub nut out when I swapped the CV joint on the front.

You defo need the M18 and the M14. The M14 is to remove the caliper carriers to remove the disc. The M18 is for the bolt which holds the hub on. You'll need a big breaker bar as it's on bleeding tight!!!!

For the part number, check out http://www.partscats.info/volkswagen/en/?i=cat_vag_models&brand=vw&number=1714&set=1724&ein=2005&f=405&hauptgr=1234567890&hg=5&grf=050020194&bf=50020&hgug=500&ug=00&parent_id=1889347

Ok picking up an m14,m16,m18 set and a breaker bar tomorrow aswell.

It's just weird, like I say I changed my CV joint and I could have swore that was just a normal socket size bolt. The only large spline I used there was the wheel locking bit to release the alloy off.

Just as a side note, if you cannot undo the carrier bolts like I couldn't, it is possible to do it by just removing the caliper and leaving the carrier on. You have to leave the disc on while you remove the hub but as it comes off you will find you can twist the disc at an angle and slip it by the carrier. It should go by...JUST haha.

This was done on my S3 rears  :happy2:

Plenty good advice above but this type of job needs the backend jacked up to a good height if your going to break loose the carrier bolts with a long breaker bar. If your doing it outside on the drive you want a good safe set up as I've had a few real tight f**kers!

Yeah I do plan on doing it on the drive.

Ive got axle stands, do you think I need to jack both rear wheels up? Or maybe the front and back wheels

Everyone has a different take on safety so that's not an easy answer.

Just make the carrier bolt your first port of call - can you get it high enough too pull on the bar - the rest will be easy.

You can never be too safe IMO. I usually put it on an axle stand slacken off the jack then bring it back up so its just touching. And put the wheel you take off under the sill.

I didn't get mine up high enough  :ashamed: but managed to get them off from the top with the breaker bar sticking out of the wheel arch. Not recommended but thought i would share anyway. (tape on the wheel arch).

I got to the carrier bolts from the top you can get an idea from the pic above and i put some tape on the lip of the wheel arch to make sure i didn't scratch it.

So I had a go today but I left it way too late, started at three and decided at quater to four it was going to get dark soon. Going to do it tomorrow a.m.

I got as far as taking the caliper and pads off. I see what people mean about it being hard to undo the m14 bolts.

I think il try and do it without taking the m14 bolts out. In this video, he appears to just slide the disc off without undoing the carrier. Is it that easy


@Matto is this what you mean? I see you say that you left the disc on the hub, but in the video he takes the disc off
