The bearing on the A3 I’ve been working on is ok. I just had to remove it to replace the splash shield. The ABS ring had also disappeared.

Yes, I prefer to buy OEM quality and avoid cheap parts.

I’d had replacement splash plates for ages, but had put off installing them as I thought removing the wheel bearing might be difficult. Failure of an ABS ring and impending mot test was the excuse I needed to do the job. Febi bearing on order. 🙂 Thanks guys

Thanks for your reply Steve. I’ve had a go at it and the bearing comes off easily once the hub bolt is removed. My hub’s ABS wheel has vanished so I need a new bearing.
I saw various magnetic ABS senders on eBay, but doubt they would fit bearings by all manufacturers. Best to get a new bearing as you say.

I need to replace rear brake disk splash shields on a 2004 A3. Are the wheel bearings likely to be easy to remove without having to buy new ones?

I completed this job about 6 weeks ago. The ABS sensor was actually the fault. The bearing was a bit worn though so I replaced that too.
