How do you change a wheel bearing on a renualt kangoo van, front passenger side?
take it to a garage that way u get a garantee with it
carefully...of course
Very simple to get a cheap gear puller at an auto suppliers or a rental shop for the day too for a good one. Use it to remove the gear and replace with new one packed with bearing grease that has been manually pushed into rollers. If it it hard to push bearing back in then use an oversized socket to match size of gear and tap EVENLY with a mallet to seat the bearing in place. Tighten locknut all the way home and then back off 1/4 turn and put in the cotter pin, replace wheel and off you go. I do all my own repairs as a hobby and I rebuild antique cars. Never mind the comments of the people calling you cheap, it is a learning experience to do all you can do yourself.
you need a press for this job so if you have about 500 quid then no prob bob.

but if not go to a gararge
First of all, it is very unusual to need to change the wheel bearing for driven wheels, the bearings are much larger than on the rear wheels and it is rare for them to fail, sure its not something else?



If it is the wheel bearing change them as a pair(they are sold as a pair) because if one has worn out, then the other will follow.



Whilst you have the wheel off, check the disc and the inner brake pad. The Kangoo has no warning light to tell you when the pad has worn low which means that you can easily score the inside of the disk, whilst the wheel is off I would change the pads at the same time.



Maybe its the pads making a noise that you think is the wheel bearing?
I have changed lots of wheel bearings on the roadside,they are machine pressed in and very hard to get out and twice as hard to put the new one back in as you risk damaging it with hammering it.Your best option is to let the garage sort it for you usually around 80-90 quid all in
