Will this rear wheel bearing kit fit my Vanagon?

Yes! This complete rear wheel bearing and seal kit is designed to fit all 1980-1991 Vanagons, including Syncro (4WD) models. It's a comprehensive kit, so you get everything you need for the job. Please note it also fits the rear wheels of the 1968-79 Bus.

What's included in the wheel bearing kit?

This kit includes everything you need for a rear wheel bearing replacement: two outer wheel bearings, two inner wheel bearings, four wheel seals, and two cotter pins for the axle nut. It's a complete solution to avoid any last-minute trips to the parts store.

I'm worried about the fit of the inner bearing race on the stub axle. How can I handle this?

The fit between the stub axle and the inner bearing race is designed to be very tight. You may need to use some force or apply heat to install the bearings. Some customers have had success using a heat source or putting the stub axle and bearing in the freezer before installation to help with fitting the bearing. Ensure you have the right tools, such as a bearing driver.

Il s’agit d’un kit complet de roulements et de joints de roue arrière. Il comprend tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour remplacer les roulements de roue arrière de tout Bus ou Vanagon.

Compatible avec : les Bus de 1968 à 1979 et tous les Vanagon de 1980 à 1991, y compris les modèles Syncro.

Le kit comprend :
(2) roulements de roue extérieurs
(2) roulements de roue intérieurs
(4) joints de roue
(2) goupilles fendues pour l’écrou d’essieu

Conseil technique : L’ajustement entre la fusée et la bague intérieure du roulement est conçu pour être un ajustement à serrage très léger (inférieur à 0,0005 po), et non un ajustement glissant. Il se peut que votre fusée d’occasion soit suffisamment usée pour que les nouveaux roulements s’y glissent facilement, mais il peut être nécessaire d’exercer une certaine force et/ou de chauffer les roulements, surtout si la fusée est neuve.

The kit worked well except would have been nice if a new snap ring and center bushing were provided also.

I’m in Alaska and I appreciate the shipping options provided. And it is very helpful to include the bag of grease needed to pack the bearings.

Kit was nicely complete, but a tip on getting the outer bearing on would have been a time saver.
Everyone should have a ID 2” pipe available to assist in ‘tapping’ on the outer bearing. Another hint…put the stub axle and outer bearing in the Freezer, and then get them when you’re ready for the install.
Good Luck!
