I'm just a crotchety Nebraska redneck plugging away through life - learning as I go.  Thanks to skills I learned from my Grandpa, I tackle a lot of repair jobs myself in order to save money.

Before tackling this repair, I really encourage you to painstakingly watch the entire video.  If you think you can handle this, go for it!

This video is completely unedited because I have NO editing skills.  I used my Samsung Galaxy S4 so this is quite possibly the worst video you've ever seen - shakes, mistakes, blurrs...it's horrific!  I mis-speak and say the wrong words in places, etc., but if this video helps give you confidence on what it takes to replace the front wheel bearing on a Smart Car then you're welcome.  Otherwise, go find another video.

If you could help me out with video editing, I would really appreciate it.  This is a real-time step-by-step process of what it took me to replace the front wheel bearing on my Smart Car.  The video goes at a slow pace on purpose so that you can stop and start it while you tackle the repair yourself.

I sincerely hope it helps you out.  No trolls and hating please.

(In the video when I say with VW everything is standard - what I meant was standard metric sizes - 8mm, 10mm, 13mm, 17mm as found on the air-cooled Beetles and Buses.  A few tools is all it took to fix everything.)
