Cross-Post: Wheel Bearing Replacement DIY Instructions (B8 S5)
Hey, guys - cross-posting this because the steps are substantially similar on your cars. If you wanna DIY your front wheel bearings, here's a comprehensive instruction set for a 2008 S5 (V8). Some things may be different from this 2008 S5 V8, so you'll want to do a little confirmatory diligence on things like fastener sizes, and of course, part numbers, but it should be directionally correct on Q5s and other B8 cars. Hope this helps.
**FYI: This schematic and part numbers are for an S5** https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-m...54.04%2BPM.png |
FYI on the monster torquing of the bolt using the jack handle as a cheater bar. You might want to consider 3/4" drive equipment. My Craftsman 1/2" drive 6" extension failed :o

I say "infrequently," but then again, I've had the subframe out three times now and tightening those carrier bolts down is such a pain in the ass when lying on your back. Maybe I *would* use 3/4" more often than I think... but then, I'll be snapping bolts because I'm so used to the yield inherent to 1/2". Heh. |
