all these people raging and saying he’s stupid for grinding parts have obviously never changed a wheel bearing on one of these cars. we’re talking grinding a bit of metal that in no way is going to affect the safety of the car and getting it done the easy way or “doing it the right way” but spending multiple hours and you’re gonna pay a shop to press that bearing back in to come up with the same result
you should just weld it in next time bud.
I have been a mechanic for 15 years. This is one of the dumbest things I have seen.
Dude crazy making this video. Never grind down parts.
DO NOT do this, this is one of the worst things you can do. Removing material from the knuckle assembly causes weakness, the first time you hit something that causes any real stress to that knuckle assembly its going to break and you will have a real mess on your hands. If you are incapable of doing the repair properly take it to a mechanic and get it done right for your safety and the safety of others.
Done mine not long ago just Tapped it out then tapped it back in and job was done DO NOT GRIND
I have the same problem on my kia forte 2010 n i fixed. I didn't damage nothing. Thanks for sharing your video just was a guide for fix my car
Thanks buddy it help. I fixed my car already
Jesus Fucking Christ. What not to do 101.
So I get why people are not too happy with the video (grinding a big No No) but at some point you have to make a decision 2-3 hours or more for a Mexhanic or take the grinder to a 14+ year old car and get it done for under 10$??? Grind away my friend ! I did the same thing and replaced all 4 because 2 were broken! Thanks again good video!
Extremely helpful!
Thank you very much and keep doing what you do!
I use the same technique and for some reason now the car is making a really annoying squeeze sound i thought it could be the brake pads i got them replaced and the noise is still there.
is it the correct way….No, Will it work, Hell ya!! Will it jeopardize your safety absolutely not! It's this way, or You need a press an a new wheel bearing for a $4.00 stud…Do the math! the casting is completely over kill for the bearing anyway… Thanx for posting!
It really isn't a surprise why mint condition honda's from the 90's and early 2000's are so hard to find, and when you do find one, they are expensive….because people treat their cars like this guy! Sorry to throw shade your way… but don't do something unless you can do it correctly!
tried this on my 02 civic si, not working well for me. end up just buy a knuckle spindle from ebay for $100 that have everything on it. now my problem is solved.
