chip and ping Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Need to replace OSF wheel bearing on my own car. It is a 2.3 petrol 5 cyl quattro. Is the bearing in a separate hub carrier or does the whole strut have to come off? Have got use of ramp and press but would like to roughly plan how long to allow. Hope someone can help and hope this has been posted correctly as I am totally new to forums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Welcome to Tyresmoke IIRC the strut attaches to the hub, so you only need to remove the hub - undo the driveshaft nut with the car on the floor, remove the caliper (you can leave the disk on) lower balljoint, track rod end and strut bolts and away you go. Should be able to complete it inside an hour, as long as you've got a decent press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chip and ping Posted July 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Many thanks for the quick reply. Job done although not quite as quick as you suggested. I'm obviously getting slower with age! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
