My son who is a trainee mechanic is just about to start this job, this video has been incredibly helpful. There are a number of self locking nuts that need to be replaced and used only once, might be good to add that in somewhere

[RossPotts]

looking forward to doing this job this weekend. i just realized that i actually ordered my loaded knuckles from you!

How often does the tie rod end come off like that.. Thanks for making the video.

Went to the link provided. Could not find the steering knuckle or hub assembly for Mk4 VR6 GTI

Use the spreader for removing from the strut as well as installation. Avoids all the hammering

Incredible video man this is going to save my life

Nice, where can I find one new like this for a 99 B5 2.8l v6 passat? I need my car back on the road asap and can not drive it til I replace the hub and don't have a press.. any info on where I could get a loaded hub/bearing/knuckle for my car would be appreciated.

So what about getting the control arm down for knuckle to slide on properly

I just had my front passenger hub replaced and now the and light is on and ABS system isn't working along with traction control, ASR light is on right after moving a couple feet. The brake light and chime are in but if you press the air recirculation button right next to the AC button the red light on the cluster and chime turns right off, like it's a switch our somethings crossed. And it all happened after having both hubs replaced

Does anyone have the torque spec for the nut that attaches the knuckle to the strut I didn't see it listed in the torque spec list

[rayrusso]

Where do I go to buy a set for the fronts ?

[tjc]

Can anyone tell me if I have to replace the tie rod end nut I'm getting the stretch bolts for the control arm and the rest should've came with the steering knuckle

[davidallen]

Oooh - Don't use the torque wrench to loosen the axel nut!! Use a breaker bar to loosen 1/2 turn, then back to torque wrench for the next 38 ftlbs, then back to breaker bar for the final 1/6th turn. It's not good to put that much extra stress on your expensive torque wrench. Use the cheap breaker bar!!

[fockyoumang]

Both hubs were replaced but a week apart and the ASR and ABS lights came on instantly

[johnathandoerty]

All without a Steering-Knuckle Spreader??? Wow; I can't get myne back on by hitting it with a hammer...

[THEGREATONE]

man that procedure on the hub nut just seems like some volkswagen tech manual writer is pulling a LOL on us.

and also they say to replace almost every single bolt on this fricken car with a new one when changing things out... what a bunch of BS... give it a visual inspection and if it's still good reuse it.

[virusboy]

DAMN Volkswagen charged me almost two grand to do this 💀 I’ve been had

[richarddonnelly]

BS... WHEN HE TORQUES IT TO THE 37LBS LISTEN, YOU HEAR THE CLICK ON THE TORQUE WRENCH & HE CONTINUES TO TORQUE THE NUT PAST THE 37LBS THRESHOLD& THEN ADDS A 6th OF A

[teodoro]

No gloves.... Filthy job, not worth to look at.
