Did he say why he was changing this wheel bearing hub?
Very good & instructive presentation.
I laughed when he said "these sensors are very, um, sensitive."
I like that you guys use hand tools and not impacts for everything. Most ppl wont have that luxury
It would be nice if you timestamped or listed the torques down either at the beginning of the video or in the description
Excellent – Can you tell me – is it possible for a wheel bearing to exhibit no play when the tire is off the ground and you are shaking the tire? I believe mine is going, (noisy) but the wheel has no play.
Do you have to remove the brake caliper from the mounting bracket to remove the bracket?
LOL try doing this job with a vehicle from Upstate NY….might as well cut it off and buy a whole new assembly . between the salt they use on the roads and the rust parts actually corrode so bad they weld themselves together.
Hi. Well done and filmed. I'm curious to know if the bearing had any physical play in it or was it just an audible grind? – I believe mine is worn, but exhibits no play when I elevate the car and push and pull on the tire, there is however, a grinding sound. Not sure if it's my diff or the bearing.
i hope my mechanic pays attention to the speed sensor. thanks for the heads up.✅
Very concise tutorial. The tip to use the crowbar for leverage when removing the axle nut was very helpful. I didn't have a 32 mm socket but turns out 1 1/4" fit perfectly. As I was on the ground under the car removing the hub assy bolts I had difficulty getting the proper leverage as the bolts were very tight. Breaker bar with long extension would sag down so socket wasn't in line with the bolt and no clearance to torque the bolt. Solution was to carefully wedge a large wrench across the suspension just under the extension so extension couldn't droop. Then connect 1/2" drive ratchet to the extension, then pipe over the ratchet handle for leverage with just enough ground clearance to break the bolts free.
pretty sure all outbacks have rear disc brakes – mine does and it's a 2008
Hi, can i do the same procedure in subaru xv? By hammering the bolts at the back?
Wonderful tutorial. Shows everything so nicely, and not using any special tools. That trick with tapping the bolts from behind to loosen the assembly was great. This is the best tutorial for this procedure out there. After watching this it only took me an hour to switch bearings on both rear wheels on my Forester.
wow bery good
I have a 2004 subaru impreza wrx. Would it be easier to just replace the whole hub rather than just the bearing?
This is my dude! great tutorial and cant wait to do it myself
Hey 1a auto… can you explain to me why BOTH of my rear bearings that I purchased from 1aauto for my 05 Subaru Outback are starting to grind and wear out just 6 months after install? Also, why don’t you have a customer service number?
Toby from the office
Great video! My 1st one I had to put the wheel back on to bust the hub nut loose. Instead of punching it from behind I found it easier to use a crowbar to pry the backing plate with the hub off of the axle or a straight screwdriver. Don't panic if the axle comes out, just slides back in. Just finished the other side. Not much warning this time. Instead of squealing for days, this one seized & in 2 blocks the lug bolts broke off & the wheel rolled 20 feet. Thank god it didn't cause an accident. This Subaru is crap. 100k miles & it's fubar.
Good mechanic….well filmed video
Would this be the same for a 2007 Impreza 2.5
As a lesbian I was unfamiliar with busting the nut loose, lol. I had to get a map acetaline torch & heat the hub nut for 3 or 4 minutes & then I was able to break it loose with a breaker bar. Without the torch, the car was literally lifting up off the jackstand.
Is this the same process for an 05 Subaru Legacy?
Excellent, clear presentation.
Is the removal process fairly similar for a 2008 Subaru forester? The only difference I've noticed so far is the fact mine has drums instead of disks.
Do you need a new axle nut to reinstall?
Ok why TF are my 4 hub bolts on the inside like what who did this!?!?!
