By using clamp collars and force pegs, the tool ensures that the loads of insertion are taken only on the outer race of the bearing. The innovative design of the kit ensures that the job is completed quickly and easily as the video below shows.
The solution is one of Laser Tools’ new range of kits for Generation 2 wheel bearings. Described as ‘ indispensable for the modern workshop ‘ they make light work of removing or installing this type of bearing, which cannot be separated from the drive flange assembly. Should a Generation 2 bearing need replacing, the whole drive flange assembly must be removed and a new assembly fitted.
The range currently includes part no: 5473 (72mm for VAG), 5568 ( 78mm for Ford Focus II & C-Max), 5576 (62 & 66mm for VAG), 5582, (85mm for VAG), and the 5587 VAG Master Kit (62, 66, 72, 85mm). [links]
If pressed into place as a conventional bearing the load will be applied to the inner race causing damage to the bearing and rapid deterioration.

I believe it's the wheel bearing. I am going to buy a new one and replace however I don't know which one I need.. one has an ABS sensor integrated.. one does not?
Q3 I m leaning towards new hub but might consider helicoil. Anyone recommend a wheel bearing press kit anyway in case I do a job in future requiring wheel bearing replacement?
Thanks [links]
Supplied under the name "Master Tec" this tool kit is sold for a very reasonable price but needs some care on the part of the user and possibly some modification, depending on the detail design of the bearings with which it is used. The general quality of the parts is good; the materials chosen are appropriate for a heavy duty tool and they are made to a high standard. The instructions however are quiet vague, especially in identifying the parts which are to be assembled with the forcing screw for the processes of removing the old bearing unit and installing the new one. Some of the small parts are not referenced at all on the diagrams in the instruction leaflet and their exact use is very important for the correct operation of the tool and in avoiding damaging it. The design depends on a ball thrust race set into the outer face of the large disc against which the forcing screw acts. It is absolutely ESSENTIAL that the correct collar is fitted under the head of the forcing screw so that pressure is applied evenly on the face of the ball thrust bearing. This face is a quite thin hardened thrust race which is very easily cracked, damaging the cage of the thrust bearing. Replacement ball thrust races are readily and cheaply available as these are standard parts, but the ball cage and thrust races (described as "washers") are sold separately. The bearing unit may be difficult to remove from the hub requiring a very considerable thrust from the forcing screw. It may even be necessary to use impact force to start the removal of the bearing, using a heavy copper mallet on the inboard end of the forcing screw. On no account should the hardened forcing screw be hit with a steel hammer as this could be dangerous and will almost certainly damaged the forcing screw. For reassembly, two alternative collars are supplied for use on the forcing screw at the inboard end of the hub. These have machined radial slots which must be aligned to avoid putting pressure on the ABS sensors if the sensors have not been removed from the hub carriers. The tool set reviewed was used to reinstall SKF bearing units which are top quality OEM grade bearings. These have a radiused corner between the centre spigot of the hub and the wheel flange, which is good engineering practice as it avoids stress points. As supplied, the reassembly clam shells of this tool set will not fit fully over this radius as they have no chamfer on their bore. This is easily corrected by turning or filing a small chamfer on the bore of the clam shells which should be well within the capability of anyone competent to use the tool, but of course takes extra time. There is also a shallow spigot on the face of the clam shells which will press against the outer race of the new bearing as is essential to its correct installation. However, the height of this spigot will not allow the clam shells to fit between the heads of the wheel studs and the bearing. The studs MUST NOT be removed as they cannot be refitted once the bearing unit is pressed into the hub carrier and the bearing cannot be pressed out again without damaging it. The height of the clam shell spigot can be reduced by machining or grinding but the design needs to be modified to ensure that the clam shells fit standard bearing units from all manufacturers. With a considerable improvement to the instructions and the design modifications described above, this tools set would be very good value for money. It would be a suitable choice for a home user or for a commercial garage which uses it only occasionally; an assessment of its durability in frequent use is beyond the scope of this review but there is no reason to believe that, with care, it would not give good service. The most likely part to wear is the forcing screw and if replacement forcing screws were available for a reasonable price there is every reason to expect the tool to last for many years of regular use.

Models: VW Touareg / Transporter
Note: The wheel hub unit MUST be pushed on the outer bearing ring, behind the locking crown. Using a press on the centre flange will cause premature bearing failure, or destroy the bearing whilst installing . [links]
For assembly and disassembly of GEN 2 style wheel hub and bearing unit.
Suited for wheel bearing diameters 85mm which are found on T5 and Touareg models.
