Front Wheel bearing install tips! V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be masher on  Sun Mar 7 13:05 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Well, I did the drivers side front wheel bearing today and all I can say is "thank god" for the pneumatic impact gun. There was no way in hell on a new england / salt in winter car those 4 "star" bolts would have come out any other way. My advice would also be to buy a set of the "star" female sockets ss well.Soak them well with PB blaster then use the pneumatic impact with the star socket. Also replace the 4 star bolts with fresh ones is a must! That wer-wer-wer-wer sound in my front wheel is now GONE---car actually is sooo much quieter I never realized how bad the bearing was even though there was no play in the front wheel!
