Steve and Joe your acting is on par with some of hollywoods greatest.

APDTY says:

The Rear assembly is actually much much easier than the front. You do not need to press the bearing.

Is the rear much different than the front? in terms of difficulty.

Please Read from The lowest first

MysticGoldmine says:

I prefer to retract the Brake pads slightly prior to refitting the Caliper. Tighten/Torque the wheel on the ground as shown then press the brake pedal to move the pads outwards to the caliper. There is a small amount of retraction movement from the Caliper Pistons. If the Caliper and Brake pads are refitted to the Disc/Rotor binding They will not retract properly during operation.

MysticGoldmine says:

Remove any loose rust from the outer perimeter of the Disc/Rotor, lightly clean the disc and wipe with Wax and grease remover or Petrol. If there is excess loose rust on the disc and it is not going to be replaced, and it would not be unless both sides were replaced together. As it is FWD., It can easily be cleaned up in place before removal with the engine running in gear. I prefer to retract the Brake pads slightly prior to refitting the Caliper.

MysticGoldmine says:

The CV Boot should be inspected , The front Drive shaft splines, and the hub splines, should be cleaned and greased, preferably with Moly Grease or Anti Seize compound prior to refitting the Driveshaft to Hub. Notice the hub stick on the Driveshaft splines during refitting ??. While the hub should be a firm fit on the splines, it should also fit smoothly to prevent over tightening the axle nut later.

MysticGoldmine says:

Not Good…..

Do not strike the tie rod end directly with a Hammer. Either use a Tie rod Puller or place a drift against the end of the steering arm and apply sharp blows to the drift until it releases…. a CLAW HAMMER and, directly to the steering arm ??. He did not appear to inspect inspect anything, eg. the Brake pad condition, The CV Boot condition etc. or mention that he had done so before the video demo, or mention what parts to inspect after the hub was removed……….

ya cars dont come apart that eaisy in new york

yoyohooyo says:

If your wheel bearing starts making noise don’t waste any time changing the bearing or you will likely need a new spindle also. The bearings lock up and cause the bearing race to spin on the spindle which wears away the metal. If the new bearing fits loose on a worn spindle the new bearing will only last a few miles.

Man, and I really struggle in installing the steering knuckle to a Honda Element, most of the Japanese front -wheel drive are pretty similar in the hub install

APDTY says:

You may need to apply pressure on the lower ball joint, so that it is forced to sit tight against the control arm, the easiest way to do this on these cars is to place a floor jack direcly under the lower ball joint, and jack it up slightly until the ball joint is pushed into it’s receiving hole. Once that happens you should be able to tighten ball joint nut.

JDPATO says:

The lower ball joint tight nut, is not tighten up! How do I get it to tighten properly!!

Gilbert Arciniega says:

I had to replace the bearing on a 95 Mazda Protege before. I fiqured I was going to need a press. But then I had the idea of pulling a used spindle and bearing assembly. Cause I found it was cheaper to get the whole thing used from a self serve wrecking yard then buying a bearing + to press it.

Very Informative. Thank you for this nice video.

EppingForest304 says:

nice video. You split the boot of the lower ball joint, i saw grease squirt out of the boot when you were hammering it… easily done
