If you decide to replace the bearings again, are you staying with the same brand? Which one did you use; OEM or aftermarket (FAG, Ruville SKF)? |

I don't really know if I can blame the FAG ones I used since it was abused so bad to get the wheel off so I don't know yet.

I have to do a front and a rear bearing soon. I'll take some useful step by step with some of my tricks like adding a slot to the end of the E14 bolts holding the rear bearing on so I can use impact with a flat blade screwdriver to turn them. Almost tight then one twist from under the car to torque them down.

I am also due for front wheel bearings soon. My plan is to remove the hubs and use my recently acquired 20-ton press (HF special) to press the bearings in/out.
"The only additional cost is the wheel alignment." So with the alignment cost, I'm thinking of paying attention also to the rear. The rear does not need bearings at the moment but the negative camber is wearing out my rear tires. Q: From a factory perfect rear camber settings, does your tires wear out unevenly (inside part of the tire)? I'm running 285 wide tires in rears Andrewwynn and Crowz, hopefully you have time to document the steps for the "how to's" Last edited by chedeng; 04-24-2019 at 09:55 AM. Reason: Added tire size width |

Wheel bearing job from hell.....
I'm not the type to do video or every step but I sure will show the critical steps and the tricks to make it easier. I'm in the process of upgrading my bearing press to have roller bearing and can't wait to use it.
The rear bearing tricks are worth the wait and I have them on xoutpost but just a post on somebody's thread so good luck finding that.

I am already doing the front bearings right now on my 2001 BMW X5 3.0i. I got the FAG bearings. Is there an orientation on how to install the bearings?
Looking at one bearing, I see a black band going around the circumference. My instinct tells me this side should be on the inboard side (where the pickup is located). I will continue my search for the correct answer. I can't afford to make a mistake and do this all over again. I see a video of an X3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6yYw04vgPc at 11:25 that the end with the black band goes in the inboard side.

The black ring has to be aligned with the abs sensor when installed which was in first best I remember. just make sure the ring is on the side that is closest to the abs sensor after installed.
