How to change FWD wheel bearing?

“Looking for front VW fwd wheel bearing change tips”

They’re pretty much the same as other front wheel drive cars. You must remove the brake callipers, the brake rotors, and then the drive axle and front strut. Then you have the axle assembly in your hand (or, on the ground.) From there, it’s the hard part. Those bearings are press fitted into the axle. I have a thousand dollar bearing puller kit and a fifty ton hydraulic press to do the job myself. You may be better off just taking the axle assembly to a machine shop and paying them to press the old bearings out, and the new ones in. For them, it’s a ten minute job. Don’t even think about hammering the old ones out and the new ones in, you’d probably damage both the seals and the bearings themselves. On old rear wheel drive cars with solid axles, we used to use long pipes to hammer the new axle bearings back on, but those days are LONG gone. Good Luck,
