Over the past few months there&#8217;s been a whining noise coming from the rear of the car that gets louder the faster you go and it&#8217;s been getting progressively worse. Initially we though it might just have been the Nankang ns2R tyres which do produce\u00a0a fair bit of road noise but it soon became apparent that one of the rear <a href=\"https:\/\/www.micksgarage.com\/search?keyword=wheel%20bearing%20kits\" target=\"_blank\">wheel bearings<\/a> was at fault. We jacked the rear of the car up, supported it on axle stands and checked both rear wheels for side to side play. Sure enough the right rear was the culprit.

If in doubt consult a qualified mechanic and if you&#8217;re learning, always try and work with a more experienced mate. To change the wheel bearings on your car you need access to the underside of the car so it&#8217;s essential to use axle stands that are rated to the weight of your car. You can check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_WFir8iOT24\" target=\"_blank\">video guide to supporting your car on axle stands here<\/a>  <\/p>\n<h4>Getting started:<\/h4>\n<p>  With the car in gear and supported on axle stands, remove the road wheel. The first job is to\u00a0remove the caliper from the caliper carrier.\u00a0To remove the caliper use a 15mm spanner\u00a0to hold the guide pins while undoing the 13mm bolts.    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7854 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.imagetin.com\/images\/micksgarage-ie\/646jk67ggt\/img_0168-1024x683_2559cb.jpg\" alt=\"How to Replace Your Rear Wheel Bearing\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/>    The caliper should slide off without too much fuss\u00a0but may still\u00a0need some gentle persuasion with a pry bar or flat blade screw driver placed between the caliper and the carrier. Be extremely careful to stay clear of the rubber seal around the caliper piston.    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7855 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.imagetin.com\/images\/micksgarage-ie\/646jk67ggt\/img_0169-1024x683-1024x683_14c190.jpg\" alt=\"How to Replace Your Rear Wheel Bearing\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/>    Once you&#8217;ve got the caliper free from the carrier don&#8217;t let it dangle from the brake hose, support it with cable ties or a bungee cord so the hose isn&#8217;t under tension.    The caliper carrier\u00a0must be removed or pivoted out of the way before you\u00a0can remove the brake discs. The photo below shows the 14 mm triple square (XZN socket)\u00a0and long extension that are required to undo the carrier mounting bolts.    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7853 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.imagetin.com\/images\/micksgarage-ie\/646jk67ggt\/img_0165-1024x683-1024x683_0b9674.jpg\" alt=\"How to Replace Your Rear Wheel Bearing\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7858 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.imagetin.com\/images\/micksgarage-ie\/646jk67ggt\/img_01631-1024x683-1024x683_c45a24.jpg\" alt=\"How to Replace Your Rear Wheel Bearing\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/>    There&#8217;s no point sugar coating this, they&#8217;re a right bas***d to remove. Removing these two bolts is probably the toughest part of the job as they are extremely tight and extremely awkward to get to.\u00a0We had to use 3 extensions, a universal joint and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.micksgarage.com\/search?keyword=4743036\" target=\"_blank\">600mm long breaker bar<\/a>, threaded in between the upright, shock and anti-roll bar. You\u2019ll also need a LOT of force to get them undone. We got away with removing the top bolt and just loosening the bottom bolt and pivoting the carrier out of the way.\u00a0Remove the brake disc locating screw and take off the disc.    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7850 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.imagetin.com\/images\/micksgarage-ie\/646jk67ggt\/disc-screw-1024x535_79b58e.jpg\" alt=\"How to Replace Your Rear Wheel Bearing\" width=\"1024\" height=\"535\" \/>    With a hammer and flat screwdriver\/chisel prize off the hub cap. Next you&#8217;ll need your M18 XZN spline socket to undo the hub retaining bolt. This is likely to be very tight so you&#8217;ll need a long breaker bar or and impact gun. Use a hub puller to remove the hub and bearing assembly if needed, \u00a0ours just slid off without any force at all.    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7861\" src=\"https:\/\/www.imagetin.com\/images\/micksgarage-ie\/646jk67ggt\/hub-cap-1-300x140_7d77f1.jpg\" alt=\"hub cap\" width=\"333\" height=\"156\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7862\" src=\"https:\/\/www.imagetin.com\/images\/micksgarage-ie\/646jk67ggt\/hub-off-300x156_c7945e.jpg\" alt=\"hub off\" width=\"300\" height=\"156\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7852\" src=\"https:\/\/www.imagetin.com\/images\/micksgarage-ie\/646jk67ggt\/hub-nut-300x155_fb1f28.jpg\" alt=\"hub nut\" width=\"302\" height=\"156\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7859\" src=\"https:\/\/www.imagetin.com\/images\/micksgarage-ie\/646jk67ggt\/new-hub-300x154_97354f.jpg\" alt=\"new hub\" width=\"304\" height=\"156\" \/>    Check the condition of the stub axle and fit the new hub assembly. It&#8217;s worth pointing out that on the mk5 Golf GTI there are 2 different size bearings that could be fitted to your car. There&#8217;s one with a 30mm internal diameter bearing and one with a 32mm internal diameter bearing. Ours was the larger 32mm version.    tighten up the new hub bolt (which should come in the kit) to the specified torque setting, in this case 180nm plus 180 degrees. Fit the new hub cap (also included in the kit) then refit the disc and disc locating screw. Tighten up the carrier mounting bolts and re torque\u00a090 Nm plus 90 degrees.    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7865 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.imagetin.com\/images\/micksgarage-ie\/646jk67ggt\/torque-1024x465_b89bd8.jpg\" alt=\"How to Replace Your Rear Wheel Bearing\" width=\"1024\" height=\"465\" \/>    Re fit the pads and the caliper and torque up the caliper guide bolts to 35nm. Re fit your road wheel and once the car is back on the ground don&#8217;t forget to torque the wheel bolts\u00a0as well. 120nm is what you need for these. Take the car for a test drive to make sure everything is ok. Assuming you changed the correct bearing, the noise will be completely\u00a0gone!    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.micksgarage.com\/blog\/category\/project-car\/\" target=\"_blank\">Click here for more
