CAUTION! Fig. 9 Pressing wheel hub into 75 mm diameter wheel bearing
When installing, VW519 sleeve must exert force only against the
bearing inner race. Make sure that the wheel bearing housing does not exert force
against the wheel hub. Otherwise there is the risk of damaging the
wheel bearing. The wheel bearing housing must remain as horizontal as possible
when pressing in the hub. Otherwise the wheel hub will cant in the
wheel bearing, which will lead to early wheel bearing damage.

CAUTION! Fig. 10 Pressing wheel hub into 85 mm wheel bearing

Wheel bearing housing, servicing with
VAG1459 B

There is an alternative to using the VAG1290 A
workshop press to service the wheel bearing
housing. VAG1459 B hydraulic wheel bearing
and wheel hub removal and installation tool
together with the VAG1459 B/2 accessory can be
used instead.
Advantages:

Wheel bearing housing does not need to be
completely disassembled.
Tie rod end remains in wheel bearing housing
and therefore wheel alignment does not need to
be carried out.
