Let's see how to disassemble a wheel bearing on a VW Golf Mk4. Position the car on a column lift, loosen the bolts with a telescopic spanner and raise it to a comfortable height for work. Unscrew the bolts and remove the wheel, then start unscrewing the bolts of the caliper bracket and detach it. Unscrew the bolts of the brake disc and detach it from the wheel hub, then, using pliers or a screwdriver, remove the central hub cap. Loosen the large bolt with a socket spanner and remove the component; disassemble the wheel hub from the car with the upper pin and remove the bearing.

Install the new bearing onto the wheel hub and reassemble everything in reverse order.
