Ok had a whine in front end which is wheel bearing.
So swapped out bearing, topmount, cv boot, and abs sensor at the same time.
Never changed a bearing before but glad I did. Thanks to the r****d who made this video it cost me a bearing. f**king jack ass.
Cars driving great and returning a continuous 40mpg. Owes me around £850 total now which I still consider cheap.
“Just a warning that even though there are many good online videos/guides there are also some s**t ones even though this example looks to be proffesional......
So I needed to change a front wheel bearing on the Megane. Not done one before and have access to a press, how hard can it be? Watched the video, all seems straight forward enough.
Oh no not really. First of all, the prick in the video shows you tapping out the hub face with one smack from a hammer, wanker. You need to press it out!
Second, he makes no suggestion that you have to remove the old bearing race from the rear of the hub face. Again utter wanker but still worked it out as it’s common sense.
Lastly which is the biggest f**k up. The video shows you at exactly 13mins in refitting the abs ring bracket back into the hub. Well after pressing in the bearing and re installing the hub face it dawned on me that it’s not possible. It needs to be located into the correct position and the bearing pressed in behind it. But oh no, not this t**t. He shows you gentle tapping it back in like it’s normal. It only dawned on me when I got to this stage that this guy fucked up, knew it but covered it up in the video!!!
What a utter bellend, one brand new bearing ruined!!!
So laugh all you like but now I have been given a Renault pdf with the correct order to fit but down a bearing and 24hrs to collect the replacement.
w*****s!
