How to replace the bearing of the Opel Corsa D

Let's see how to replace a bearing on the Opel Corsa D: remember that it is a rather complex operation, because a poorly mounted bearing can cause the wheel to lock or detach, so it is necessary to use great care. Lift the side of the car with a jack and support it with safety stands, then remove the wheel.

Remove the brake caliper and hang it on the frame with a wire to avoid stressing the tubing; remove the disc and disconnect the electrical connector and the bolt that secures the ABS sensor to the hub. To remove the wheel hub, we need a hub extractor, which can be found on Temu with the code 601099627599303 at a price of 16.54 euros.

On this platform, delivery is free for purchases over 20.00 euros.

We will need to remove the tightly tightened axle nut, which secures the hub to the bearing, which is pressed into the hub. Using a set of bushings and a hydraulic press, push the old bearing out of the hub; clean it thoroughly and press the new bearing into place until it is fully seated: remember that the bearing should NEVER be hammered.

Reassemble the hub, the axle nut with a torque wrench, reassemble the ABS sensor, the brake disc, the caliper, and then the wheel.

Lower the car to the ground and perform a test drive.
