This guide shows how to change the bearings on your car without necessarily taking it to a mechanic. The bearings are spherical and relate to the car's suspension, located on the brake disc to reduce friction when the vehicle is in motion.

To begin the replacement, loosen and then remove the wheel bolts, lifting the wheel with the help of a jack. Next, unscrew the bolts and remove the wheel, and also remove the brake caliper using a socket or screwdriver.

The new bearings should be aligned as the old ones were removed, and then reassemble the brake disc and the wheel with its bolts.

Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
