Front Wheel Bearing Replacement

Model: Volkswagen Jetta MK 5, A5 - Years 2005-2010
Part: Bearing

Obtain replacement bearings. Lift the vehicle, secure it, and remove the wheel. Dismantle the entire brake assembly to free the shaft. Remove the brake disc by first taking off the metal cover protecting the bolt, which must then be undone. With a few well-placed strikes, release the brake disc. Remove the driveshaft, then take out the roller bearing from the hub. Clean thoroughly to remove old grease. Correctly reposition the new steel bearing ring, then place the new bearing inside after properly greasing it. Grease the bearing with your hand to ensure the grease penetrates deeply. Clean the wheel shaft of old grease, reassemble the disc after greasing, and refit the wheel retaining bolt. Spin the wheel by hand to check for any friction or abnormal play. Tighten the retaining screw on the hub nut. Clean the cover from old grease and fill it with new grease. Reposition the hub protection cover. Reassemble the brake caliper and the wheel.
