That was awesome, Scotty. Thanks for the video
-
@TheMrVWbus reasonably difficult on a VW, watch my video "replacing rear wheel bearings on your car"
-
@scottykilmer well that's what the mechanic that took it for a test drive seems to think becasue it makes noise when you break, I thought it was just the shoes needing to be replaced. How difficult is it to replace the bearings?
-
@TheMrVWbus wow, that's a lot. But me, it it makes no noise, I'd leave em. Cause they make noise long before any damage is done other than needing the bearings replaced at that time.

@scottykilmer It has 450,000 km on it.

@TheMrVWbus don't waste your time, bearings can last a long time, many hundreds of thousands of miles. In this case, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
hey scotty, ive done brakes before but still a little foggy on the process. to get the piston to go back in do i have to open the bleeder valve to relieve pressure or will it go back in with out the valve open?

@CWSDevon most will just slide back in, BUT do it slowly so nothing is damaged back up in the system. If you're worried, or yours are hard, open a bleeder and do it.

scotty, I just replaced my front disc brake pads on my nissan. There was an intermittant grinding noise that lasts a few seconds coming from my pass side wheel. Well I replaced the brake pads since they were low, but the sound continues sometimes. What is it? Dragging? Sticking? It's annoying, that's for sure.

@mlehman replace the rotors too if the noise bothers you. Means nothing, but new pads on old worn rotors will make noise
