How do i repair a spindel and hub - 1995 Volkswagen Jetta

ok if you just change the bearing and it still humms ,and you have good tires you would have to change the whole spindel because it may have an egg shape and the bearing is not firm,make sure the big nut is tight

If you have everything off including the axle nuts you can dry a air hammer with a flat head against the flat surface of it or you might have to use a puller.

If you have already removed the spindle then you need to look at the inner side of the spindle (that faces teh car) and look for a snap ring (there should be one on one side of the spindle where the bearing is pressed in, if not then the bearing is pressed in and needs to be removed using a bearing press. this can be done by taking it to a local shop and paying them the nominal fee of like $20- $50(depending on their labor rate) and they will also replace the new bearing in it for you, other wise you are going to have to purchase a bearing press for your self.

... i'm sorry to say this, but, it's a 4hr job. you need to remove the hub and bearing assembly to remove the rotor...

Poss damaged wheel, bad hub, bent lower spindel rods & will need four wheel alignment costly should call insurance company

try to find a large socket

i have found that you need to first make sure the cv shaft is moving free in the bearing. soak everything with penitrating oil. you should be able to move shaft in & out a little. the hub is a very tight fit. you need to tap it some from side to side untill you see a little gap between hub and spindel. then place the head of a flat screw driver in that gap and all around the hub, prying back and forth where ever possible. soak, tap and pry all over. be hard on it if replacing, more gentle if not. good luck.

to start with, that is not a u-joint cover, it is a cv joint. if this is a chevy. you will have to pull the cv shaft out of the spindel. first loosen the outter tierod nut on the spindel, do not take off completely but just so its on finger tight. get a large hammer and hit the spindel right where the tierod goes through it. a couple of good shots and it should drop out take off nut and move outter tierod aside. now you are gonna do the same thing to the lower ball joint. only when your ready to hit that part of the spindel where the ball joint goes through get a prybar under the upper controll arm and get a budy to push up on it. as long as the shock is still bolted on your in no danger. pull the spindel out towards you from the bottom and you will have enough room to pull the shaft out of spindel to get the nuts. you might have to put ball joint back in without shaft in place to hold spindel still to break those bolts loose. make sure you use new cotter pins on ball joint and tierod nuts

(new roters, callapirs, breaks were installed), this truck is in a cross-over year...old style/new style,are the correct parts being used? if yes, I would check the suspension components under the front end along with hub bearings.

IF YOU GOT SPINDLE OFF THE CV JOINT MUST OFF. YOU HAVE TO HAVE IT PRESSED OUT AND IN.
