Civic Wheel Bearing Removal/Install | DIFFICULTIES 

You are the very first person to explain step-by-step

Stumbled across this video,I’m currently getting my old Nissan pulsar gtir back up and running after sitting in my old garage for 17 years,moved house so now got room and time to work on the old gal…..your video came in very handy many many thanks😉👍

This is the video I needed. Most videos I've watched the person just says "Press the bearing in" without any specification of "use a press bearing that ONLY fits the outer race" as well as "use a press bearing that ONLY fits the inner race" that is precisely what I needed to know. Thank you.

Hi, Spencer's Garage, I just came across your video in search of doing my own wheel bearing replacement myself. Your video is one of the best out there I have seen. You explained everything in detail step by step. Thank you for taking the time to post and share your video. Great job.

Thanks for the video. I am glad for your guidance on mistakes. I make them all the time. You saved me from making the same ones!

Those pliers would have been super handy when I did the front bearings on our 13 Escape. I used a combo of screwdrivers and small pry bar to work it around and out. Installing it I used one of the adapters in the bearing tool rental kit. Those pliers were so fast!

Thank you for this clip! I wish i’d seen it before leaving my car only with 3 wheels in the garage….. thanks for the complete clip with all the messups!

I don't know why, but 19:30 - 19:42 cracked me up. Haha. I'm doing all my front ball joints and wheel bearings, and this video helped a lot. I'm very thankful that my outer races both came out with everything else. I was terrified of dealing with that. Haha. Thanks!

Great video, easy to follow and done with easily obtainable tools!

Great video, great explanation, keep going brother like that helping a lot people out there 👍 😀 👏 😄

@15:20 I ran into the same problem. I grabbed a hammer and an adapter that fit the inner race and just went for it until it was just the outer race stuck in the knuckle. There’s a lip sticks out in the middle of the bearing and I got the right sized adapter for that and kept hammering. Pb blaster helps too and once it starts sinking, add more adapters on top until you’re close. After that, I used the tool as intended to get the rest of it out and I was able to get the whole thing out of the knuckle.

Awesome stuff, Spencer. Subbed!

Thx man... you helped me out a lot with this!!!!

After seeing the difficulties you experienced while trying to remove the outer race I think I'll just put the hub back on and get a shop to do the job. My civic is "only" 20 years old but it lived all its life in the Salt Belt. It was already unbelievably difficult to remove the lower ball joint and I only realized it should have a dust shield after watching a few videos, because it's so rusted you can't even see where it used to be.

Timken is definitely the best when it comes to replacing Honda wheel bearings

Super detailed with every step so helpful thank you i would be attempting this soon

Great video! Well done!!

This video helped me a lot brother. Definitely subscribing 💪🙏

Thanks for your sharing knowledge!

Wow amazing Video! You’re very talented and well explained video. 🙏👏🏻 Thank You!

thank you good buddy you explain it perfectly!

This video helped me out a lot thank you

Very well explained.Thank you .

appreciate ya, ft.worth,TX

Ahhhhhhhhhhh finally man thank you

Thank you SR..😮 😃 great explanation

Nice snap ring pliers. I have some harbor freight ones they worked alright

Great video

Good job sir❤❤

I had same issue w the same wheel bearing puller with the outer race of the bearing.

I don't know how you did this man but job well done I bought it and I could not get my bearing in it would just not go in I gave it to Mavis the thing kept Titan it just kept loosening

Nice job bro.

I coincidentally have that same hub waiting to be put on lol

Good video. Good to see the mistakes as well. As for removing the bearing, do you think using the impact wrench contributed to the bearing getting destroyed on its way out? Had you continued to use hand tools, do you think you would've "felt" something off? Thanks!

What size is the bolt

Glad I decided my wheel bearings were fine on my 97 civic. 😅 I already have enough work to do.. Also this car has clearly never seen snow or salt. mustbenice

Thank you!

Thinking that you don’t live in the rust belt!!!! So lucky are you

So the only way to take out the outer race is jack hammer?! Tnx for video

THANK YOU

You're amazing

I ran into the same problem today where the outer race was the only thing left inside of the knuckle… now I’m screwed. Gonna need some help from your dad now lol

My putter race is stuck and both inner races came out with the hub, what tool can I use to get the putter race out?

Great job, but you should have changed the lower balljoint with a honda one ( after market doesent take too long like for me 3 months and started making noise) also since it will be the same work taking the knuckle out the car.

Is it dangerous to re-use the front old hub? People recommend using a new one. Mine is free rust and 154 K miles only.

I just pressed my bearing and now the inner bearing wobbles. Do you know if this is normal or not?

put in freezer it easy ?

What happend to the shields lol

The cover protect the brake padsand disk from dirt

Not channel locks but snap ring pliers

4:32 Giggity

2:40 Ah, the outside inner race.

You coulda used a cold steel chisel and hammer to get the rest of that stuck race out.

20:56 bruh i pushed the hub using the spindle, no wonder it fucked up the bearing immediately 😭😭😭

Amazon it was $64 us i think buy for Ford Transit connect 2011

Te falto poner la lámina

Cara muito maneiro!! Mas.. não entendi nada . Kkkkkk

sure you did, you left off the dusk shield.

You never mentioned packing the bearings with grease in your video.
