Replacing the hub bearing VAZ-2110 with your own hands

The replacement of the VAZ-2110 hub bearing is made in the event of its failure. To carry out the work you will need some tools, including a special puller. Diagnosis of the malfunction is possible by the sound produced by the bearing. While driving at high speed, a terrible howl emanates from him, which is very similar to the sound that the plane emits during takeoff. In this article, you will learn how to independently change the bearing, without recourse to specialists at the workshop.

Preparation for repair

When replacing the hub bearing VAZ-2110, you need to install the car as smoothly as possible. Under the rear wheels put the chocks, which can be used even ordinary bricks. You will need to remove the front wheels. It is better to carry out repairs first on the left, then on the right side. In addition, you need to get an end or spanner key for 30. Only with its help you will be able to unscrew the hub nut.

It is desirable that this key has a large lever, because the tightening torque of the connection is very large. Please note that you need to unscrew the nut. For this you can use a small knockout and a hammer. A couple of light strokes - and the nut will be released. It should be noted that the replacement of the rear hub bearing VAZ-2110 is almost the same. Only a remover is used somewhat differently.

Dismantling the assembly

Let's say you start repairing on the left side of the car. First of all, you need to unscrew the nut and unscrew it with a key on 30. But do not unscrew it to the very end, just rip it off. Then lift the left side of the car with a jack. Remove the bolts that secure the wheel to the hub. Then it is necessary to unscrew the two bolts that secure the brake caliper of the front wheel. Without this, it is impossible to replace the hub bearing VAZ-2110.

When you released the brake disc from the caliper, you can remove the latter. Only be careful not to damage the hose. After that, unscrew the guides that are on the disk. They attach it to the hub. Then you need to dismantle the brake disc. That's all, you got to the hub itself. But it has two attachment points - to the rack and the bottom lever. The top mount to the rack should be outlined so as not to disrupt the camber of the front wheels. Then unscrew the two bolts that secure the ball bearing to the lower lever. Next, tear off the hub from the grenade splines.

Bearing Removal

Pay attention to the fact that the replacement of the wheel bearing VAZ-2110 is done with a special tool. If you decide to do without it, the repair procedure will increase in duration. Of course, it is possible and with the help of a hammer to press out the hub bearing, but this is much easier to do with a puller. The thing is that it is necessary to apply efforts evenly, and the hammer is obtained only by impulses.

To remove the bearing, it is necessary to install a special puller on the hub. And now, gradually rotating the bolt, you squeeze the bearing out of the hub. But if there is no remover, you will need at least the presence of an old clip from the bearing. Install it on top of the bearing that is in the hub. Then hit with a hammer: the more they are sharp, the better. Therefore, the replacement of the front bearing of the VAZ 2110 hub will be much faster.

Bearing installation

You can perform the installation in several different ways. First, you can heat the bearing itself, and cool the hub. But you should be careful with this, because you can damage the rubber seal, under which the bearing grease is located. Secondly, it is possible to carry out the installation work with the help of the tool that was dismantled.

This is a universal tool that will help you both during disassembly and when assembling a node. Without it, it is not possible to replace the bearing of the rear hub of the VAZ 2110. During operation, there is no need to use additional lubricant. The only thing you need is to apply lithol to the threaded joint of the external CV joint. In addition, the nut used to fix the external CV joint, needs a new one.

conclusions

All the work on bearing replacement can be made independently for two hours, or even less. At the same time special tools require a puller and a key for 30 with a long lever. Pay attention to the fact that the nut must be tightened with maximum force. This is the main difference from the hubs of the front wheels of classic cars, in which the conical bearing and the tightening torque are small. In fact, removing and replacing the front hub bearing VAZ 2110 will take you a little time - about half an hour on each side. In total, you will spend at least an hour, provided that you have all the necessary tools.
