Was the back end lifting as you were torquing it
I have to say I’ve done all my hubs and never torqued them up, just made sure they were bloody tight…with the assistance of a 3ft piece of pipe. In fact I think I done the last one with my new Milwaukee

It sure was but the fact it had so much leverage meant I had to put more effort in torquing the brake caliper carrier bolts up with my weedy 1/2" drive version !
So glad to get those couple of jobs out of the way it might stop my hair going anymore grey than it is already

I must admit that it was the most effortless bit of torquing on the whole job. I did use my son DeWalt impact gun to undo the d/shaft nut which again just wizzed undone. Standing on an appropriate length of bar taking my weight into account was looking my only option until @Royston 90 kindly let me the biggest t/wrench I've ever clapped eyes onWas the back end lifting as you were torquing it

Put the wheels back on with the new Gen. Grabber AT3's today & took it for a 5 mile test drive. It was so much smoother than before, also pleased that when I went over a bump I didn't get the farting noise along with the TC light as I did before with the dodgy wheel bearing.

Glad it`s all done & smooth now, a job well done ! I need to do mine, but first things first I have to splash out £200 on doing my Passat timing belt as that is more important than the wheel bearing on the list of jobs. And thanks for lending me the adaptors Andy. I will get those copied when time allows.

Yes all vehicles need money spent on them especially when they're the age of ours! No worries on the adaptors.Glad it`s all done & smooth now, a job well done ! I need to do mine, but first things first I have to splash out £200 on doing my Passat timing belt

Hope the Passat goes well, all the best.

Yes that's one of the issues with mine too.
