Hello.

 

I know I'm gonna get slated for asking this B) but how the fookin hell do you navigate around TIS ???? Am I missing something here ( cringes waiting for the obvious replies :D ) or is there a search facility where you enter a key word....yes I have tried that box that says SEARCH but it always comes back with no results no matter wot I type in !!!!

Reason I ask is I want to see how to replace the front wheel bearing..so if someone can give me the dummies guide on how to find this particular page I would appreciate this. No wonder Fraud techies always have a bemused look on their faces :)

It's intuitive, if you're a 5 year old. If you're an intellgent adult, it's incomprehensible. Keep at it. it's well worth it 'cos it's all there.

 

It's difficult to advise because I don't know how far you've got but try moving your mouse slowly over the icons - top left and click on each in turn, keeping an eye on the model selection. Use the right hand icon on the bottom row to go back one step and look for the blocked right pointing arrows on some of the pages (some of which scroll down for miles!) to find more infomation.

 

Be patient, drink lots off coffee. IT IS worth it.

Ah, there is a job!

 

You either need the patience of a saint or the ingenuity of the A Team to get the bearing out of the bearing housing. Or take the bearing housing off and take it to an engineering shop and get the old bearing pressed out and the new one pressed in.

i used to like the a-team!!

[paulmpaciorek]

Ah, there is a job!

 

 

 

....your not kidding........I have found it on TIS..........garage job me thinks...or I could always turn the radio up and ignore the noise :ph34r:

[paulmpaciorek]

Can you remove the bearing in situ or do you HAVE TO take the housing off ??

The noise is getting louder !!!! :unsure:

[Masked Marauder]

Oh you can do it in situ if your the A Team. You need to find a way of getting the old bearing out and the new one in.

 

With a bit of assorted kit like pullers and threaded rod and ingenuity it can no doubt be done.

[paulmpaciorek]

MMMMM mmmmm "Pity the fool " that tries this comes to mind!!! Ah I miss the A Team....what you can do with a few meters of angle iron and some sparklers !!! :unsure:

 

So what sort of pain am I likely to endure in my arse pocket for this job when I call in the A Team ??? :unsure:

[Masked Marauder]

Well the main problem is getting the old bearing out. It might just drive out with a suitable sized pipe used as a drift, or pull out using a pipe & end cap with a hole drilled through it and some threaded rod to pull it with.

 

I have not done the job on a Galaxy my self, but I have on other cars, and the main problem is the bearing has to come out evenly as it jams if you pull or drift it out squint.

....well I'm not going to tackle the wheel bearing :lol: so I rang VW to price up the job...decieded I could do with a laugh as it is Monday !! :lol: .....price
