How to remove and replace the rear wheel bearing and drive flange on BMW 335i?

Take off the drive flange that is damaged and must be replaced while removing it the wheel bearing is also dismantled. Force the wheel bearing inner race off the wheel hub shaft. To do this use needle nose pliers and pull out the snap ring for the wheel bearing carrier. Remove the wheel bearing from the carrier using special tools: 33 4 041, 33 4 042, 33 4 031, 33 4 048 and 33 4 043; the bearing cannot be reused. In case of 85 mm outside diameter bearings, the following BMW special tools should be used: 33 3 261, 33 3 263, 33 3 262, and 33 2 261 while the black seal should face the centre of the vehicle. As with the old wheel bearing, the same special tools must now be used to pull the new wheel bearing into the carrier. The removal process is the opposite of the installation and it is required that a new collar nut only at the outboard end of the drive axle be used, the nut restaked after tightening it and the parking brake set when through with the process.

BMW 335i Wheel Bearing

BMW 335i Wheel Bearing significantly increases ride smoothness and safety by allowing each wheel to spin with very little friction and precise guidance. Housed within the hub is the Wheel Bearing, which is made up of hardened steel balls or tapered rollers that roll along a metal race, allowing the 335i wheel and tire assembly to rotate freely without overheating or wobble. Across the production years, three styles of hubs are found on the 335i lineup, all operating on the same principle of using friction to cut, but with different approaches to service. The integral unit is a combination of hub and Wheel Bearing, often including the ABS sensor, which is built into a single sealed piece so that when wear occurs, it is replaced as one part. A second style, applied on some driven front hubs, still forms a unit but may require the steering knuckle to be removed in order to press the hub and Wheel Bearing apart and reassemble them. The third design is a non-driven axle hub that carries separate opposed tapered roller Wheel Bearing pairs, which can be replaced and adjusted individually. No matter the style, however, BMW engineers applied durable materials to keep every 335i stable, responsive, and quiet on the road, maintaining signature BMW balance and helping the BMW sedan deliver the confident handling owners expect from a 335i.
