MINI R56 Cooper S Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement DIY (2007-2014 MINI Cooper R56, Cooper S, JCW)

►The wheel bearing's only job is to allow the wheel and axle to rotate inside the suspension so that the vehicle moves forward or backward. When they start to fail, you'll hear a whirring or humming noise coming from the affected bearing while driving, and leaving it for too long can cause the bearing to seize and your wheel assembly to have a catastrophic failure. Luckily, replacing an R56 MINI's rear wheel bearings isn't an enormous task and can be completed in a DIY setting with just a few basic tools. In this video, Mike Hidalgo, FCP Euro's Professional DIY'er, replaces the rear wheel bearings on an R56 MINI Cooper S. 00:00 - Intro 01:35 - Tools Needed 02:06 - MINI Cooper R56 Rear Wheel Removal 03:05 - MINI Cooper R56 Rear Brake Component Removal 05:20 - MINI Cooper R56 Rear Wheel Bearing & Hub Replacement 09:09 - MINI Cooper R56 Rear Brake Component Install 11:16 - MINI Cooper R56 Rear Wheel Install 11:56 - Wrap-up Shop the parts used in this video: MINI R56 Rear Wheel Bearing Kit: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mini...
