How To: Replace Front wheel bearings
Hi all,
latest video just released:
Caused by warped discs (1.3mm)!! Cheap aftermarket ones - no. 6 month, 9000 miles Brembo’s. I shall never buy or recommend these again.

I replaced the front wheel bearing (it’s a sealed unit in 205/213/238 models and the title of the thread is how to replace the front wheel bearings so……. Or am I missing something?

Curious about the Brembo aftermarket comment, I know for a fact that the OEM front brake pads on our E53 are Brembo and I would assume that rotors are also.

Yes. That is why I bought them. I could have bought the orignal MB parts in the MB box (brakes have Brembo markings on them) or by Brembo boxed from a Major online German retailer (which I did). I am not hard on brakes and have never had discs "warp" before. I don't buy autohold keeping pads on after "braking" when still etc as this has never happened with BMW/Landrovers I have owned in the past. I have heard of other stories about premature Bremo wear on BMW and VW forums, even some suggetsion that quality can depend on whether its made in Europe or China (not sure I believe this for such a critical safety item?).
