When does the helper release the brakes?
you torque the axle nut to specs it will preload the bearing
U guys think I could change the hub by my self??
Good shit I need I need these shit
How do you torque to top bolt which attaches the bearing to the knuckle?
The top ball joint bolt appears to be in the way.
@FattestKidEvvverr yeah well if they had more than 2 videos of their
products then you’d be set
I have a 03 Ford Explorer XLT 4.6LTR V.8 and my front left bearings are
going out. Do I need to replace the entire hub/bearing assembly or can I
just change out the bearings inside?
Hubs are easy to R&R. I’ll never service a pre 2000 Subaru AWD rear bearing
again. What a freakin nightmare getting the inner race out.
To remove the CV shaft, use a 3-jaw bearing puller grasping the hub flange
and driving against the spindle. Then, to remove the hub assembly, use a
large slide hammer attached to the hub face which pulls on the bearing
assembly. This works best on roll-formed product and removes the entire hub
assembly, but if it is non-roll-formed, this only may remove the hub from
the bearing, then you must attach the slide hammer to the cup forging by
attaching the slide hammer directly to the cup housing.
how do you properly set the bearing pre load???
whats applicable mean it was used a lot
The question I have is how do you get that SOB off there after 10yrs of
use? Rusty SOB on there tighter then a cocksucker…-.- WHERE IS MY
STAINLESS STEEL!
well narrated video and very helpful thanks guys
I used this video as a guide to replace the rear hubs on my 2009 Jeep
Patriot 4×4 2.4 L, very helpful!
Yah, this video ASSUMES it’s a NEW/NEWER car with NO rust, oxidation,
grease, grime or anything else getting in the way. He doesn’t even get his
fingers dirty! Life is GOOD.
Great video, this is the correct way to replace a hub bearing assembly.
Thank you for posting.
there is no preload setting procedure per say as this is a sealed
integrated assembly,, ‘setting the preload’ on a bearing/hub of this kind
involves nothing more than properly torquing each fastener, PARTICULARLY
that massive axle nut,,
Forwarded your question to someone in automotive aftermarket to get a
response for you!
Yeah, its just that easy to remove the unit bearing……pssh.
the sensor is integrated with the hub/bearing assembly,,
Too funny. What a bunch of horseshit. LOL! That had to be produced by
marketing schmucks. Let’s see, no dirt, no rust, no caked on mud, and what
looks like a layer of anti-seize on the hub. Not too too staged, eh? Where
can I get a job changing out all new parts on nice clean trucks? And from
such a reputable company that makes a good product. Ugghhhh.
Most engineers design vehicles to be situated in one’s living room. Rust?
What’s that? All that the factory would need to do would be to coat the hub
to knuckle mating surfaces with a generous helping of lithium grease. Then
rust would not be a factor. Instead manufacturers will have some college
boy design elaborate plastic engine covers that lack any utility
whatsoever. But hey, that shit looks cool. Only problem is that no one
opens the hoods of their cars any longer.
Today’s hub bearing assemblies are shipped from the factory pre-greased and
sealed for life. That’s why no additional grease or further maintenance is
required.
ya right like that hub is gonna come right off i fought with mine to brake
loose for an hour. and im sure most people who clicked on the video was
lookin for anwsers to find an easier way to brake the hub loose from the
knuckle.
If all your videos are this clear, I will be referring to you guys more
often. perfect video.

I don’t torque the bolts down,I grab my impact and tighten the bolts
including the axle nut with my impact.You can’t overtighten the axle nut
with an impact without premature damage,I can prove this
like iwatersky2 said….the guy didnt even get his hands dirty :))
everytime i work under the car i end up with my hands all black up to the
elbows from grease and dirt :))
never use a hammer….wish i watched that before i used a sledge hammer to
get the one off my jeep lol all well it works fine
In applications where there are tight or confined areas it may be necessary
to use a universal joint on the torque wrench, which would enable you to
torque the bolt at an angle.
Thank you for the vid
At my shop, we do like to use Timken bearings because they are much better
than the popularly-priced Chinese junk that can start making noise after a
few short months or a year and a half or so. Of course, when Timken
likewise goes to China on the recommendations of some witless MBA pud who
doesn’t know his ass from his elbow, it too can earn the privilege of
producing junk.
And it is just that easy if you don’t strip the bolts and have the right
stuff. I didn’t use Air tools.
I tried a hub bearing puller…pry bar 8 feet long…I had to use cold
chisels and drive them in all around to get the stupid thing off…what a
fight…I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NEVER-SEIZE!
lol 8 minutes to replace but the asshole mechanics charged me 2 hours labor
Knowledge is power 😉
theres no dirt on this truck….
