VAZ 2109: rear wheel bearings and their replacement

Replacing the bearing on the front hub of a VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112 with your own hands

Replacing the front wheel bearing of a VAZ 2110 is carried out independently according to the instructions, without specialized tools, knowledge and experience.
If when traveling you notice noise and buzzing in the suspension, then the reason is in the front wheel hub. This occurs if the car has a mileage of 50-60 thousand kilometers. The causes of failure are usually poor operating conditions (road, weather conditions, maintenance), service life and wear of suspension parts, lack of lubrication, and others.

The following actions can serve as simple diagnostics:

• put the car on a jack, namely the side of the car being repaired;
• spinning the wheel manually, during which you may hear noise and crackling;
• checking for increased play by moving the wheel in the axial direction.

For this job you will need a minimum set of tools. All these devices are found in every garage:

• A set of keys;
• Jack;
• Car stand;
• Punching and pressing;
• Vise;
• Mount;
• Marker.

Before work, secure the car with the parking brake and install wheel chocks under the wheels. The entire replacement process is carried out in the following order:

The protective cap that covers the bearing is removed; The hub fastening nut should be removed from its place. Before doing this, do not forget to loosen the collars with a slotted screwdriver. The nut is disposable and cannot be used a second time; The car is raised on a jack, after which a support is placed under it. Remove the wheel; The hub nut is unscrewed entirely. Next, the washer located behind it is removed; Remove the caliper from the disc. It does not need to be disconnected from the system. Simply tie it to the body with a wire; Unscrew the 2 nuts securing the ball joint to the steering knuckle. The easiest way to do this work is with a spanner wrench. If this is not done, then you will not be able to turn your fist and stand to the side; When using a pry bar, pull the lever down; Hold the lever with a pry bar and turn the brake disc with your free palm. Your task is to disengage the disk from the CV joint; Don't forget to mark the position of the eccentric relative to the front post

If this is not done, then the wheel camber will most likely change; Unscrew both nuts. Note that it is important to keep the screws from turning. The next step is to remove the disc along with the steering knuckle; Remove the brake disc from the hub; The screws securing the brake disc protection casing are unscrewed and removed; On the other side, remove the bearing retaining ring; Install the hub in a vice. When using a drift, knock out the hub; Remove another ring; We knock out the bearing itself through a drift; Install the retaining ring (outside); The bearing is pressed into the fist

To simplify the work, it is advisable to lubricate the steering knuckle mirror with oil; Install the inner retaining ring; Reinstall the hub.

Further work is done in reverse order. After assembly, be sure to take the car for a ride. The absence of symptoms is a sign that the repair was correct. Conclusion

. The suspension of domestic cars is not of very high quality. Therefore, almost every car enthusiast has encountered such repairs at least once. Replacing the front wheel bearing on VAZ 2109 and 21099 is most often required when the machine is used incorrectly. Correcting this problem in a timely manner can save you from a serious accident.

VAZ 2110 wheel bearing dimensions, number and marking

Before buying a new spare part, make sure its exact dimensions. The dimensions of the VAZ 2110 front wheel bearing are usually standard, as are the markings. Keep in mind that this bearing is also used in VAZ 2108, 2109, 2111, 2112 models.

1. Inner diameter (d): 34mm;
2. Outer Diameter (D): 64mm;
3. Width (H): 37 mm.

How to choose a ball bearing for a VAZ 2110 hub

When purchasing a front wheel hub bearing for a VAZ 2110, focus on three options:

1. JSC Saratov Bearing Plant - professionals claim that the company produces the best wheel bearings. The plant's products are additionally marked "SPZ".
2. The Samara Bearing Plant produces inexpensive products that are not of good quality. Suitable if you want to save money. The front wheel bearing will need to be replaced after 20,000 kilometers. The price of a VAZ 2110 wheel bearing from this brand is two times cheaper: 150-320 rubles.
3. 23 GPP (VBF, Vologda) – this manufacturer is considered the best among its competitors. These products are rarely counterfeited, are of high quality, are inexpensive and are now in demand among domestic car owners.

The price of a part for a hub from these manufacturers: from 800 rubles.

Diagnostics, signs of malfunction, causes of failure

With proper operation, the ball bearing itself can last a really long time - about 100,000 kilometers. However, there are a number of reasons why a part may become unusable much earlier. Among them:

• frequent driving at high speed on bad roads;
• improper installation without lubrication (resulting in overheating and increased wear);
• prolonged exposure to an aggressive environment (water, dirt, other abrasives or liquids that get inside);

It is easy to understand that the ball bearing has failed - a distinct noise or buzz appears in the area of ​​the rear wheels. If you ignore the problem, vibrations will appear on the body, and in critical cases, a grinding noise in the rear, indicating that the assembly has simply fallen apart. It is simply unacceptable to wait any longer - the wheel may simply become blocked while driving, so it is necessary to immediately replace it.

The main details of the unit can be seen in the photo below:

1. guide;
2. rear hub;
3. sealing element;
4. retaining ring;
5. wheel bearing;
6. thrust ring;
7. hub nut;
8. moisture-proof element;
9. external protective washer;

Before proceeding directly to removing the VAZ 2108 rear wheel bearing and installing a new part, you should stock up on the necessary tools. So, the list of necessary tools includes:

• a set of keys (a 30mm head is required);
• pliers or round nose pliers;
• wooden beam;
• jack;
• hammer;
• chisel;
• mount;
• To facilitate the process, you will also need a special puller and a vice.

In principle, you can do without the last point, but with such a set the replacement process will be as fast, convenient and effective as possible. In addition, the presence of a special puller will help to change not only the rear, but also the front wheel bearing, including not only on VAZ cars.

It is easy to understand that the ball bearing has failed - a distinct noise or buzz appears in the area of ​​the rear wheels. If you ignore the problem, vibrations will appear on the body, and in critical cases, a grinding sound in the rear, indicating that the assembly has simply fallen apart. It is simply unacceptable to wait any longer - the wheel may simply become blocked while driving, so it is necessary to immediately replace it.

How to change the wheel bearing on a VAZ 2110

You need to familiarize yourself with the design of the hub (figure below). Disassembly of the unit is carried out strictly on a flat surface, a lift. It is necessary to engage first gear and put the wheels on the “shoes”. You will need a standard set of tools:

• needle file;
• socket head at “30”;
• narrow chisel;
• hammer;
• spanners for 17 and 19;
• mandrel for knocking out clips;
• torque wrench for tightening the hub nut.

First, we remove the bearing from the hub, to do this we do the following:

1. Remove the hubcap from the wheel.

1. Use a chisel to straighten the dented collar of the nut. This is done in 2 places at once.
2. A key set to “30” is necessary to loosen the nut. The front wheel mounting bolts are loosened. If this is not done, the stability stabilizer will interfere with disassembly, as it will push the suspension elements upward.

1. We dismantle the caliper with a screwdriver, unscrewing the nuts with a 17mm wrench. To prevent the caliper from hanging on the brake hose, we attach it with wire, then unscrew the brake disc mounts.

In addition, it may also be necessary to dismantle the trunnion assembly and the retaining ring.

Replacing the rear wheel hub bearing on a VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099 and their modifications

A failed rear wheel wheel bearing indicates a problem with a constant, often ear-piercing howl.
It comes from the rear and does not go away when driving in neutral. As bearing wear increases, this sound may become increasingly louder. The rear wheel bearing needs to be replaced. Checking the rear wheel bearing

We hang the wheel on the bearing of which there are suspicions. We rotate it by hand. A wheel with a working bearing rotates almost silently. A faulty bearing reveals itself by noise and a sound “as if balls are rolling in the bearing.” The degree of noise and rolling depends on the degree of wear of the wheel bearing itself. For comparison, you can hang a wheel with a working bearing and listen to the sound it makes.

Required Tools

— An extended 30mm head with a long wrench, or a curved box wrench of a similar diameter (or a similar socket wrench, etc.)

To loosen the wheel hub nut.

— Thin chisel, center punch

To bend back the jammed edge of the hub nut.

— Three-legged puller (optional)

To remove the hub from the wheel axle.

— Two-legged puller, or a special semicircular one (optional)

To remove the inner bearing race from the wheel axle.

— Puller – pliers

To remove and install the retaining ring

— Puller for pressing the bearing out of the hub/pressing the bearing into the hub (optional)

— Open-end or any other key for 12 (11, 8, 7, depending on the type of pin)

For unscrewing the guide pins securing the brake drum.

— Key for 13 (14)

To loosen the parking brake adjusting nut.

- Hammer

rear wheel bearing for VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099 cars with nut

Preparatory work

It is best to carry out work in a pit (inspection ditch), it is more convenient. But if there is no hole, you can do without it.

— We fix the car by placing it on a level surface, in first gear, placing wheel chocks under the wheels.

— Under the bottom of the car, loosen the handbrake tightening nut.

If the car is not installed in a pit (inspection ditch), then to perform this operation you will have to jack up one of the wheels, put a safety stop under the car and lie down to get to this very nut.

The procedure for replacing the rear wheel hub bearing on VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099 vehicles and their modifications

— Remove the protective cap on the wheel hub

— Removing the dent on the side of the hub nut

Using a thin chisel or core and hammer, straighten the jammed edge. For greater clarity, the wheel in the image has already been removed.

dent on the edge of the wheel hub nut

- Loosen the hub nut

To do this, use a 30 mm socket with a long wrench (or a special wrench) to unscrew the nut. You may have to apply considerable force and extend the handle of the wrench with a metal pipe, as it may become stuck or rust over time. Also, to prevent the wheel from turning, an assistant inside the car can press the brake pedal.

— Remove the wheel

Loosen the rear wheel mounting bolts, jack it up, place a safety stop, unscrew the bolts, and remove the wheel.

- Remove the brake drum

Using a 12 wrench (11, 10, 8, 7 - the pin size may be different), unscrew the two guide pins securing the brake drum. If they don’t want to turn away, lightly tap them with a hammer.

unscrewing the two wheel disc guide pins on the brake drum

Since we have already loosened the parking brake, the brake drum should come off without much difficulty. We rotate it left and right with our hands and at the same time pull it towards ourselves. If it goes badly, tap the drum in a circle from behind with a rubber mallet. This should help.

brake drum removed

— Finally unscrew the hub nut

Remove it and the washer underneath it.

— Remove the rear wheel hub with bearing

We install a three-legged puller on the hub and rotate its nut to pull the hub off the wheel axle.

Removing the rear wheel hub of VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099 cars using a puller

If you don’t have a puller, take the wheel, turn it over with its back side facing you and fasten it to the hub with wheel bolts. We do not tighten the bolts all the way, but several turns (it is advisable, of course, to use elongated bolts, but if they are not available, you can use regular ones). We will use the wheel as a reverse impact hammer. With a sharp movement we move it towards ourselves. If it was not possible to remove the hub from the axle one time, we perform this operation several times.

— Remove the inner race of the bearing from the wheel axle

You can use a two-legged or semicircular puller, or you can simply place a large chisel on the back of the ring and hit it with a hammer. The ring will move along the axis, then you can pry it off with a mounting spatula or a large screwdriver and finally remove it. If after working with a chisel there are nicks left on the axle, we clean them with a fine file.

Removing the rear wheel bearing inner race

— Remove the retaining ring securing the bearing in the hub

We use puller pliers for this. If it is not there, remove the retaining ring with a screwdriver.

Removing the bearing retaining ring in the hub using a puller

— Remove the bearing from the hub

Using a special puller, squeeze it out of the hub body. If there is no puller, knock it out with a piece of pipe of suitable diameter. The diameter of the pipe must be equal to the diameter of the inner ring of the bearing. We strike at him.

knocking out the old bearing from the hub

— Clean and lightly lubricate the inside of the hub

— Press the new bearing into the hub

We do this using a puller or a vice, or simply hammer it in there using a wooden spacer and hitting it in a circle with a hammer. At the final stage of driving, you can use the old bearing as a spacer.

driving a new bearing into the hub

— Install the retaining ring in the groove on the hub

You can use a pliers puller for this, or just a screwdriver.

Three ways to remove and replace a VAZ 2110 wheel bearing

Let's consider 3 options when replacing the front wheel bearings of a VAZ 2110 is required.

Method No. 1. The idea is to replace the wheel bearing using a puller, without removing the steering knuckle (without removing the strut). The advantage of this replacement is that there is no need to loosen the camber fasteners. It is best to work on a lift or on a viewing hole. The inconvenience is knocking out the hub and then pressing it out. You risk damaging the bearing even before replacement.

The replacement process with this method, after performing steps 1-4 above:

1. Use a puller to remove the bearing from the assembly.

1. Using the same puller, we press the new part back into the hub.
2. We assemble everything in reverse order (at the beginning of the article).

Methodology and algorithm of repair work

Replacing a hub or bearing on a VAZ-2108 car is a clear technological process in which certain procedures will have to be followed. The first stage in the replacement process is preparatory. It is necessary in order to correctly assess the upcoming scope of work, prepare the site and the appropriate tools.

1. Jack. In order for the problem unit to be replaced, you must first hang the wheel, removing the weight load from it. To do this, the vehicle is raised with a jack. If the replacement is carried out in a car service center or a specially equipped garage, then use a lift that will allow you to raise the car to a comfortable height.
2. Puller. Replacing a hub or bearing on a VAZ-2108 requires the use of two different pullers, the sizes of which - 3 and 6 cm - correspond to the diameters of the rotation support races.
3. Pliers.
4. Wrenches for 12 and 30.

Under any conditions, replacing the rotation support begins with dismantling the hub unit.

1. The front wheel is removed from the side of the defective unit. To do this, the car is secured with the handbrake and the mounting bolts are loosened. Then, on a jacked-up VAZ-2108, the bolts are completely unscrewed and the wheel is removed.
2. The brake disc is removed.
3. The caliper does not unscrew completely. It will have to be secured in this position, for example, with wire.
4. After this, using a puller, we dismantle the hub along with the bearing.

The algorithm for further actions depends on which of the two units requires repair. In any case, the bearing will have to be pressed in, otherwise manipulations with the hub are impossible. Assembly of the unit occurs in the reverse order.

Replacing the front wheel bearing of a VAZ 2110

How to change the front wheel bearing

A few tips for motorists

• It is quite easy to understand that the front wheel hub of a VAZ 2110 is faulty. While the car is moving, you will hear grinding, humming and knocking noises every now and then.
• To ensure that the wheel alignment remains normal after replacement, perform the replacement without unscrewing the alignment bolts.
• The manufacturer recommends that car owners change the components of the front wheel hub at 55,000 km.

As you have already seen, do-it-yourself repair of front and rear wheel bearings on a VAZ is easy. Such repairs may have to be done every year, because the roads in the country leave much to be desired. But self-service will cost several times less than if you turn to a service station for the service.

If you prepare in advance and do all the work sequentially, taking into account each step, the replacement will not take much time. You do not risk anything, the cost of the part is not that high. But such a simple job involves many nuances that are important to consider.

Rules for installing bearings

Replacing the wheel bearing on a VAZ 2109

They are quite simple:

• Under no circumstances should the forces applied when pressing the bearing be transmitted through the rolling elements. Therefore, it is necessary to use special mandrels or races of old bearings.

Note. When pressing the bearing into the hub, the force should be directed through a mandrel to the outer ring. If you need to install a bearing on an axle, then the force is again transferred through the cage to the inner ring.

It is prohibited to use sharp objects when installing new bearings. This can easily damage the bearing sealing material, resulting in a waste of time. After all, after some time, an unprotected bearing will lose lubrication and fail.

Bearing 256907

Its main area of ​​application is the front wheel bearing of VAZ 2108, 2109, 2110, 2111, 2112 cars. It has the following design characteristics - ball, angular contact, double-row, closed type (seals on both sides). The double row ball bearing has the ability to be locked on both sides. Bearing 256707 is installed in the front hub of more modern VAZ models (Kalina, Granta).

Since most VAZ models are widely used not only in our country, but also abroad, the demand for front wheel bearings is very high - they are produced at once in four factories in our country:

• JSC "Saratov Bearing Plant" (labeled SPZ) - according to experts, produces the best front wheel bearings in our country, and they are not very expensive. Buy from official representatives in your region (only they have a guarantee of authenticity and at the same time minimal trade margins - the price for a wheel bearing will be about 350 rubles).
• 23 GPZ (or VBF, Vologda) - among motorists it is considered the best plant, however, the wheel bearings of the previous manufacturer are in no way inferior to them in durability, are less likely to be counterfeited and are a little cheaper.
• SPZ-4 (Samara) - produces products for those who are used to saving. But if you need a high-quality front wheel bearing, it is best to pay attention to the manufacturers presented above.
• 20 GPZ (Kursk) - currently not produced, but some companies still sell them; you will not receive a guarantee of their long-term performance.

Bearing removal

This is done using special pliers, but you can use thin screwdrivers. The inner ring on the bearing must be removed using a special two-jaw puller. But if there is none, install a chisel in the back of this ring and carefully apply several blows with a hammer. When this ring begins to move, it is necessary to completely dismantle it using a mounting spatula. Please note that if there are minor damages that will definitely appear after working with a chisel, you need to clean them out using a measuring file. Now you can remove the bearing itself.

It is advisable to do all the work using a puller; it will take literally a few seconds. But if it is not there, then you will have to use a piece of pipe whose diameter is the same as that of the bearings. You will also need a larger hammer, because it is almost impossible to do this job with a simple one. The blows must be sharp and strong. How long you will suffer with this bearing is unknown. According to this scheme, replacing the rear wheel bearing of a VAZ 2109 can take a long time. It is quite possible that the entire pressing work will take from 30 minutes to an hour. After dismantling, it is necessary to lubricate and clean the entire internal surface of the hub.

Front wheel bearing size VAZ 2108

Any spare part of a modern car must be perfectly matched to fit and technological dimensions. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not always take into account the specifics of using materials in spare parts, which affects their service life, reliability, and, ultimately, traffic safety. The chassis of a car is subject to enormous loads, so it is simply impossible not to pay attention to the correspondence of the factory dimensions with the ones being replaced.

VAZ 2108 front wheel bearing size

If we take this issue more specifically, the chassis of cars of popular models and brands most often suffers from low-quality spare parts. First, let's look at this problem using the example of a VAZ 2108 front wheel bearing.

It would seem that there is nothing complicated - the hub has its own standard dimensions, which the roller bearing must correspond to:

internal diameter - 34 mm; outer diameter - 64 mm; Bearing width - 37 mm.

Only by these parameters can you select a bearing, of which domestic factories produce thousands. Manufacturers from China actively help in this, providing products that are not of the best quality and do not stand up to any criticism. Neither the steel grade, nor the number of balls, nor the dynamic performance of such bearings meet the standards. There are bearings without any markings at all, and there are particularly zealous owners who buy them. Such bearings burn out within 1000 km and simply fall apart while driving.

Features of choosing a wheel bearing for a VAZ 2108

Naturally, we will not be able to check the dynamic load on the bearing races and on each of its balls. But you need to remember, like the Our Father, that:

• The VAZ 2108 wheel bearing is marked 25 69 07;
• according to the international marking system it is designated 53 20 66 DA;
• the bearing has a mass of 0.445 kg;
• ball diameter - 9.525 mm;
• number of balls - 28.

The difficulty in choosing bearings is that they are not consumable parts, and they are not changed as often as piston rings or silent blocks. That's why some manufacturers don't even bother making human packaging. In addition, the bearing used in the front wheel hub of the VAZ 2108 is maintenance-free, which means:

• the bearing does not require lubrication;
• does not require preload;
• does not require adjustments during installation and operation;
• must have a very high resource.

Design of wheel bearings for VAZ 2108

All VAZ cars are equipped with only three types of wheel bearings - wheel bearings for front-wheel drive VAZ cars, wheel hub bearings for rear wheels, and wheel bearings for Kalina and Grant cars, which are smaller in size.

All VAZ bearings are of the HUB-1 type, and this type is characterized by the design and installation features. The bearing has a double-row design, is a type of angular contact ball bearings with closed working surfaces and does not have flanges for attachment to the hub.

Manufacturers and prices of VAZ wheel bearings

These bearings belong to the middle price segment, so the demand for them is very high. Because of this, you can often find the fakes we mentioned. However, the transition of the VAZ plant to bearings of this type, instead of roller ones of the old type, made it possible to choose bearings not only of domestic production, but also of many other foreign factories.

How to replace the rear wheel bearing on a VAZ 2108-2109 with your own hands

The health of the chassis, steering and wheels are the most important factors in vehicle safety. In principle, you can drive with a malfunctioning engine or gearbox, but the above components simply need to be kept in good condition.

The article provides detailed instructions on how to replace the rear wheel bearing of a VAZ 2108 with your own hands. The material also provides information on article numbers and numbers, sizes, prices from various manufacturers.

In fact, the part is responsible for rotating the wheel directly on the rear axle. The standard rear wheel bearing of the VAZ 2108 is an angular contact double-row type of ball bearing, inside of which there is grease. In good condition, the rated speed reaches 6500 rpm. However, over time, this unit may fail and require repair.

Bearing 256907

Its main area of ​​application is the front wheel bearing of VAZ 2108, 2109, 2110, 2111, 2112 cars. It has the following design characteristics - ball, angular contact, double-row, closed type (seals on both sides). The double row ball bearing has the ability to be locked on both sides. Bearing 256707 is installed in the front hub of more modern VAZ models (Kalina, Granta).

For off-road use, it makes sense to install hub roller bearings 537907, which have an increased load capacity, but a lower maximum rotation speed.

Domestic bearings are produced in accordance with GOST 520-2002, imported in accordance with ISO 15:1998. According to the international designation system, the number of this bearing is 532066DA.

Technical parameters and dimensions of the front hub bearing 256907:

Inner diameter (d): 34mm;

Outer Diameter (D): 64mm;

Ball diameter: 9.525 mm;

Number of balls: 28 pcs.;

Dynamic load capacity: 31.5 kN;

(Load capacity of the roller bearing of the hub 537907 - 68.6 kN);

Static load capacity: 27.9 kN;

(for a roller wheel bearing this value is 99.8 kN);

Rated speed: 6000 rpm. (for a roller, this value is less)

Replacing rear hubs

To make a quick and high-quality replacement of the rear hubs, you must:

• ​ Raise the car on a jack.
• ​ Unscrew the wheel nut. A 30mm socket is useful for this.
• ​ Remove the wheel itself. To make this process easier for yourself, you just need to pull it forward and lightly push it out from behind with your other hand.
• ​ Remove the brake caliper.
• ​ By removing the brake drum, you will have access to the hub. In some cases, it sticks to the hub, so it must be pressed to get it out. Therefore, many people remove the hub along with the drum or disc (if the brakes are disc), and after that they buy both a new disc and a new hub.
• ​ Unscrew the hub nut. It is secured with three bolts. Since the bolts are too close and there is already very little free space, it will be very difficult to turn the head.

Note: in order for an overtightened bolt to “give”, it should be slightly heated. Hot iron is much easier to control, although you need to be careful not to get burned, because it heats up to high temperatures very quickly.

• ​ Use a screwdriver to push out the hub from the reverse side.
• ​ Clean the seat from dust and dirt. Lubricate it thoroughly with degreaser.
• ​ If the new hub was purchased without an oil seal (and they are usually sold that way), then the seal can be removed from the old one and installed on the new one. Before installation, the oil seal must be lubricated with a special liquid.
