I almost bought the assembled steering arm with the bearing and hub installed. I watched your video and did it your way. Now I own the tools to do this again for the same money the assembly would have cost me. Thank you. No fluff, just a straight forward solution.

@hardlymovingpro 3 года назад

Glad it worked out for you! Here's another way of doing the job if interested: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1YXzlwpAbdQ.html

@tg8150 Год назад

If you’ve done this job, as I have- with only a long breaker bar; I cannot explain or emphasize enough- the power that impact gun is putting out pulling and pushing that hub/bearing in/out. Took me at least 30 mins for each push/pull with a breaker bar and still jumping on it repeatedly with all my 165lbs of weight. This man is a God. This is NOT an easy job.

@terryzak1742 5 лет назад

Another wonderful tutorial. I watched in amazement at how easy you made this job look, especially with my recalling how difficult it was to do on my wife's 2006 Solara. I have and used the same Astro Pneumatic Adapter/Puller Kit, along with my trusty Ingersoll Rand TN 37188. But I had a devil of a time, and even kicked up the inlet pressure to the tool to 130 psi and still struggled. This made me do some research on that TN 37188 and I find out that it's rated at 600 ft-lbs of torque (100 psi inlet pressure). The DeWalt corded model you referenced, while considerably cheaper, is only rated for 345 ft-lbs. When I read the details on the M18 Milwaukee, and saw that it has up to 1,400 ft-lbs of "nut busting torque", I was dumbstruck. I didn't know that such high capacities even existed. Granted, my TN 37188 was the highest rated pneumatic 20-years ago when I purchased it, but there's simply no comparison between the 1,400 ft-lbs of the Milwaukee and the 600 from the Ingersoll or even 345 from the DeWalt. Based on my experience and what I saw in this video, if you don't have a Milwaukee M18 Fuel Impact, you may spend an entire day vs. what could otherwise have taken less than 2-hours. So if you don't have the M19 Fuel Impact, see about purchasing one or renting one; you'll be very glad you did. Christmas present for this year has been selected! Thanks Again.

@hardlymovingpro 5 лет назад

Thanks for your comments! That Milwaukee is a heck of a nut bustn' tool! If you not careful, it can shear off a 19mm stud in no time. The way they designed it, the torque increases the longer you hold on to the trigger. So I'm quick to back off the trigger when I think I've torqued something enough. Total time to do this job ... around an hour.

@hardlymovingpro 4 года назад

So far had it for a couple of years and it hasn't missed a beat! I use my standard M18 battery packs from my other Milwaukee tools and there's no need to upgrade to the expensive high amp batteries for this high torque 1/2 driver. I'd say this tool produces more torque then some expensive air power tools. Extremely happy using this tool. Little on the heavy side though.

@hardlymovingpro 3 года назад

@@charleston_brad9446 Don't know of any retail parts vendors that rents them out. The outer race IS the bear. Also pushing the new one in is slightly less hard. Without a kit and an impact tool, you're up the creek without a paddle. Amazon and Ebay sell the bearing kit for around $70.

@sumguy9687 4 года назад

You made this look pretty easy. I’m just wondering if it would be a lot more difficult if the bearing isn’t quite as worn. I have a 2010 Fusion with 120K that appears to have a bad left front bearing. I got a quote of $500-$600 to replace. Dealer wanted more.

@hardlymovingpro 4 года назад

The hardest part is squeezing out the outer race of the wheel bearing out of the steering knuckle. It's the bearings and inner race that was messed up in this video. Here's what you need: 1. High torque impact tool. Minimum 300 + lbs of torque. The one I used was electric 18v with over 1,200. 2. Slide hammer kit. You can rent it for free at Autozone or Oreilley's. 3. Bearing and hub press tool kit. Around $80 or so on-line like the one I used in the video. If you don't want to get a impact tool and press kit, just take the knuckle off and bring it to a machine shop to press out the old hub and bearing and press in a new one. I'd guess they'd charge around $80 or less for labor. You can also buy a stand up hydraulic press from Harbor Freight for around $100 but you still need a press tool kit.

@sumguy9687 3 года назад

Were you able to get the bearing out ok using the high torque drill and bearing adapter kit? On some other Fusion bearing videos some commented that a shop press would be required to get the bearing out of the knuckle. I have Porter Cable corded impact wrench with 450 ft lbs of torque.

@hardlymovingpro 3 года назад

You impact tool should suffice. I'll be putting out a video soon using the press adapters with a portable hydraulic pulling pump. Got it to work on FWD Camry. No impact tool needed.

@hardlymovingpro 3 года назад

No problem getting the bearing out and in with my Milwaukee M18 high torque impact.

@tsgarage2382 3 года назад

I got a Fusion an lately I have noticed a huge increase in road noise, I am about 7 k miles into some all season cooper tires just had a rotation done, an I swear the road noise on good pavement is like non exsistant, now when I hit other roads that are like older an not new within say a year, omg its bad so much noise I think its the tires or wheel bearings just not sure, I just changed the brake pads to powerstop ones an they are great so far way better stopping power, but I just noticing this road noise an wasnt sure if it was the cooper tires or the wheel bearings or my struts are toast, I cant see why my struts would be toast at 60k miles but we took care of this fusion good so far, an 29 mpg for the last few years, just did new plugs, a filter a while back, I have other cars an the road noise is nothing like this.

@hardlymovingpro 3 года назад

Above 40 mph, swerve your car to the left and right. If the front end noise goes up, its you bearings(s). Left swerve to test right bearing and visa versa.

NICE JOB BROTHER!!! AGAIN GREAT VIDEO.

@sirsweetness8332 5 лет назад

Never torque axle nut without either wheel on ground or holding hub in place. Too much pressure on transmission and CV axle. Not good.

@hardlymovingpro 5 лет назад

What's the pressure on a transmission and cv axle with a vehicle parked on a steep angled hill in park?

@sirsweetness8332 5 лет назад

Hardly Moving Productions The other end of that axle is in your thransmission and you are turning that against the parking gear. Too much pressure for that. Put on tire and lower vehicle to finish the torque process. You can also put on 2 lug nuts and put a crowbar against ground and in between the 2 studs to keep this pressure off your transmission gears. Look it up and you will see that it is standard process not to torque against your transmission.

@sirsweetness8332 5 лет назад

That upper ball joint in your upper control arm has too much play. That needs replaced also. You can press many of them out will special tool. Not sure about your model.

@hardlymovingpro 5 лет назад

Perhaps but the customer is tight on cash.

@sirsweetness8332 5 лет назад

Hardly Moving Productions This response is in our, and the correct procedures favor. If you torque this against the transmission gears you will cost the owner possibly a new transmission or a rebuild. Saving the owner money is holding the hub or putting the car down on the wheel and ground before putting 30+ lbs of torque on these gears. Many of these axle nuts are in the range of 150+ ft lbs. same philosophy is when you change an inner tie rod. You should never loosen or tighten an inner tie rod against a power steering rack. You should hold the rack with a wrench as to not ruin inner seals and shaft. Many manufacturers make slots on rack to hold in place. Sorry for this back and forth but when you are making these repair videos for the world to see, make sure you do it right.

@patricknegro5071 3 года назад

@tg8150 Год назад

When you’re pushing g/pulling with your impact gun, do you have the upper control arm bolt attached or no? I’m guessing no with the clearance you have from the axle.

@hardlymovingpro Год назад

You're right. Upper arm is attached. After detaching the ball joint, the arm should have upward tension away from the steering knuckle.

@tg8150 Год назад

I think you misunderstood my question. I did the first side with the upper control arm attached. But in your video, it looks like you have more clearance behind the bearing since the cv axle isn’t in the way. That’s why I asked. I was wondering if this job can be done with the upper control arm detached from the spindle. There’s more room this way if it’s possible. Also, I do not disconnect the lower ball joints while doing this. I did buy the Milwaukee though so I hope it works like yours. I got the “A” model.

@drewthomasarnal5378 4 года назад

Would a 450lb torque impact gun be enough torque to remove the bearing with the kit?

@hardlymovingpro 4 года назад

Yrs ... That should be adequate

@GD-cs4nh 2 года назад

What symptoms were you having prior to you knowing it was a wheel bearing? Any codes or MIL turn on?

@hardlymovingpro 2 года назад

High pitch whine as you increase speed ... more noticeable when changing lanes. No MIL codes with this problem.

@St.LouisTrap-a-Holic 2 года назад

Can I just replace the bearing and use the same spindle?

@hardlymovingpro 2 года назад

I'm assuming what you call the "spindle" is the wheel hub. If so, you'll have to remove the stuck inner race that comes off when you remove the hub. Here's the link on how to remove it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I4P3T-cb7rg.html

@francisconina9378 2 года назад

Looks like we have the same kit but none of my adapters fit in the back to press old race out they just fall right through

@hardlymovingpro 2 года назад

One of them should fit if it's a good kit.

@boxboy4655 Год назад

I am having the same issue. I think maybe from the bearings being so far gone that the lip is worn down that the adapter can't catch it

@lloydscharf6897 Год назад

We have been trying to replace the ft pas side wheel bearing on a 2015 lincoln MKC awd,and the new bearing seams to large to be pressed back in the same od has been shown at three different parts store whats up?

@hardlymovingpro Год назад

Have had a similar problem on a BMW. You need a dial caliper to measure the bearing diameter with another replacement bearing and note any differences.

@lloydscharf6897 Год назад

Done that and need to get the outer race out to measure that. Been to at least 4 parts stores of three different brands and their books all call for the same bearing. Any chance the knuckel was a leftover and just thrown on to make day's quota?

@hardlymovingpro Год назад

You can try freezing the bearing before installation.

@ninjavitisgamingclips8949 2 года назад

Does it matter which way the bearing goes in if it has ABS on a 2007 mkz? mine didn't come with instructions, Timken HA590533, they look the same on both sides but some cars have a magnetized side for the sensor

@hardlymovingpro 2 года назад

Don't know about the MKZ. But if magnetic, should be on the outside.

@marklaughlin5011 4 года назад

I have two questions. One, the adapter sat on top the bearing perfectly then after extraction the adapter looked recessed into the bearing , is that correct ? There seems to be a lip on the back of struct to stop bearing from going out

@hardlymovingpro 4 года назад

The center portion of the adapter has a round protrusion to help keep it centered (recessed) onto inner bearing's race. The bearing hole on the steering knuckle does have a inside lip to prevent the bearing from coming out. That's why I had to use a smaller adapter (one that's not the same diameter of the new bearing) to pull the old bearing out. It's important that the new bearing (during installation) is pressed against this inner lip; otherwise you cannot install the snap ring on the outer portion of the bearing hole that prevents the bearing from moving to the outside. Hope this helps.

@GigGrinderMike 2 года назад

waa there a gap between where the axle meets the back of the knuckle?

@hardlymovingpro 2 года назад

The axle is stopped by going any further into the knuckle when it butts up against the wheel hub (which is pressed into the inner wheel bearing race).

@jaysoncolbert6187 3 года назад

Hey do we need to put any grease on the outside of the bearing when pushing it in?

@hardlymovingpro 3 года назад

Nope. They come pre-lubed.

@shellysdopevids6988 2 года назад

What would you recommend if the hub is seized to the cv axle?

@hardlymovingpro 2 года назад

Use a heavy hammer and punch and pound away. Or use an air powered or electric jack hammer.

Nothing really special about a wheel bearing press kit. They all pretty much come standard with different sized adapters to accommodate different sized bearings.

@sergiovelasquez6549 4 года назад

Hardly Moving Productions thanks.

@edwardjahen8814 4 года назад

Does this kit only come with 1 wheel bearing?

@hardlymovingpro 4 года назад

Yes but also with a new hub to press into the inner race of the bearing. I use to buy only the bearing and press in the old hub. But I've found hubs aren't that expensive and some hubs are too worn out to be reused (that is, the hub shaft can no longer be tightly fit into the inner race).

@je5327 2 года назад

What brand bearing pulling kit did you use ?

@hardlymovingpro 2 года назад

Nothing particular. Check out my recommendations in this video's description.

@mikeb8342 3 года назад

Ok, so I drove the hub into the bearing.... but didn't use the adapter that fit tight against the bearing in the inside. I used the same adapter that I had used to get the bearing installed. I then tried to get the half shaft into the hub and tighten down/seat the hub using the nut but can't get the shaft far enough in for threads to show. Also can't remove shaft. And now the thing seems like it's wobbling a lot. Did I damage the new bearing upon install? It's really starting to p@#$ me off! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@hardlymovingpro 3 года назад

I would assume the wobbling would be the result of the hub not being fully recessed in the inner bearing race and not in fully contact the outer cv axle.

@mikeb8342 3 года назад

@@hardlymovingpro thanks for your speedy reply (given the platform). I wasn't sure and I couldn't risk waiting so I just bought another bearing. Friday evening, most of yesterday and now an hour this morning and I'm almost done with the hub/bearing replacement..... now to put new brake parts on (familiar with this part). Seems I had just about everything that could delay me pop up. Now I don't have a torque wrench that goes over 150 so I'm just going to go to there and then add a bit. Tired of running 40 miles round trip to get more tools/parts.... Thanks again for the response and your video.
