    removing the rear bearings on audi a6 quattro.

    What's involved removing the hub?

    Any pointers or advice welcome

    Just undo the bolts really.

    On refitting, one of the hub to wishbone bolts is best put in before the other as it makes it a lot easier to manipulate it all back together,I can't remember which though lol

    Are you not breaking it now then?I want those hp2s

      Not yet. Going to sort what needs doing for mot. Run it for a few more months and see if there is any other cars that stand out. The hp2s are probably needing new shocks but the calipers are good refurbed less than 2 years ago.

          If I am not mistaken your car has cast iron rear hubs. Bearings need to be pressed out and in with a hydraulic press. To get the hubs off is the problem due to ceased ball joints etc.

          Best done by the experts who have the tools required.

            Semi-normal but be aware (the world needs more "wares") , that there are two circlips that hold the bearing in (besides friction). Different than the front wheel bearing.
