Removal and installation the hub bearing housing — all-wheel drive vehicles (Skoda Octavia 5E)

Measure dimension "a". Loosen the drive shaft bolt.

Note: If the drive shaft mounting bolt is unscrewed more than 90°, the wheel bearing must not be loaded with the weight of the vehicle, i.e. the vehicle must not stand on the wheels. If the wheel bearing is loaded with the weight of the vehicle when the drive shaft mounting bolt is unscrewed, the inner bearing will be damaged, which will reduce its service life. If the vehicle must be mounted on the wheels or moved, the following must be observed: Install the outer CV joint instead of the drive shaft. Tighten the mounting bolt (use removed) outer joint with a torque of 120 Nm.

Raise the car. Remove the wheel. Remove the brake caliper with the brake hose and handbrake cable connected. Suspend the brake caliper on the body so that its weight does not load the brake hose. Remove the hub. Remove the protective screen. Remove the suspension spring.

Cars with ground clearance sensor "G76"

Disconnect connector "1". Unscrew screws "2". Remove ground clearance sensor "G76" "3" from the transverse arm.

All

Disconnect the connector from the ABS speed sensor. Tighten the car to the lift with the "T10038" tie-down straps.

Install the engine and transmission jack, for example, "VAG 1383A" "1" under the stabilizer strut and support it slightly. Unscrew bolts "2" and "3". Remove the engine and transmission jack, for example, "VAG 1383A".

Unscrew nut "1". Unscrew bolt "3" and remove with washers "2" and "4".

Unscrew screw "2" and nut "1". Unscrew screw "3". Remove hub bearing housing "4".

Installation

Installation in reverse order.

Note: The stabilizer struts, suspension arms and hub can only be screwed on when the dimension "a" between the center of the hub and the lower edge of the wheel arch has been established (position of the loaded mass)! Monitor the position of the trailing arm and the hub bearing housing.

Install the wheel hub bearing housing. Install bolt "3" with washers "2" and "3". Tighten nut "1" by hand. Screw nut "1" onto bolt "2" by hand. Insert bolt "3" and tighten by hand. Install a jack for engines and transmission units, for example, "VAG 1383A" "1" under the stabilizer strut and lightly support it. Tighten bolts "2" and "3" by hand. Install the protective screen. Install the hub.

Caution: The hub bearing housing must be in the position corresponding to the curb weight for tightening.

Tighten nut "1" to the specified torque. Tighten nut "1" and bolt "3" to the specified torque.

Installation position of the trailing arm and wheel hub bearing housing

Tightening the bolts securing the trailing arm to the hub bearing housing is only possible after installing all other suspension components (the spring and shock absorber must be installed). To tighten, the hub bearing housing must be in the position corresponding to the curb weight. Only in this case the trailing arm and hub bearing housing will be set to the required "arrow" position for tightening the bolts.
