Replacement of Front Hub Bearing

Model: Audi A6 MK 1, C4 - Years 1994-1997
Part: Bearing

Before lifting the vehicle, it is advisable to remove the cover cap of the mounting pins and loosen the bolt at the center of the hub (which is the one securing the axle). Lift the vehicle at the wheel you are working on (possibly using a jack stand) and remove the wheel, brake caliper, and rotor. Then, apply the appropriate puller on which the wheel mounting pins will press to remove the hub. Once the hub is extracted, you will likely find the bearing completely damaged or even broken, and you will need to find a method to extract it from the hub support: in this case, a weld bead has been made on the outer race of the bearing (stuck inside the hub support) to heat it and create a stop to press for extraction. Then, apply the new bearing inside the hub support, insert the hub, and reposition the axle and its securing bolt inside. Finally, reassemble the rotor, brake caliper, and wheel.
