Front wheel bearing replacement
 

Since I have the suspension removed to replace axles, tie rods, control arms, etc. I thought I might replace the hub bearings too....anyone know where to find a how to please?

Thanks

Gary

I've never seen a how to for the X5 on here. The E39 5-series forums have some information, but the 5-series is much easer. Four bolts and the hub and bearing come off. The X5 needs a press tool to get the axle out of the bearing and then a tool to press the bearing out of the steering knuckle. Then the new bearing must be pressed in. I've never done it, but I don't think its an easy DIY.

See this thread. TIS information in post #2.
