Yo my man you have ZERO idea how much appreciation I have for this video and your explanation! Thank you

@HingleMcCringle35 2 месяца назад

Amazing video. Answered every question I had when I realized this was going to be a little more work than the brakes on my last truck. Awesome stuff!

@hansonelectric6566 3 года назад

That method you showed on pressing out the bearing hub is amazing. Thanks. Saved me.

@daddioshmaddio7591 6 лет назад

I actually just did this little project on my 1997 Dodge. After watching this video, and having done the job myself I can tell you that it is a great instructional on how to get this job done.

@goonkieeyeracing1138 2 года назад

You don't have to have a press to press that rotor to the hub assembly you can slide the wheel studs through stack washers up take a lug nut and an impact and you can suck each one of those lug nuts through to seat the rotor to hub just make sure to go criss cross pattern when tightening so it's done evenly

@allmopars 5 лет назад

Tip; use c-clamp on one of the old pads to prevent running caliper cylinder in sideways and breaking brake.

@OMGnanerpus 2 года назад

This video was great for tips and as a quick refresher (and reminder of what sockets i needed lol). I don't have a press at home, but i used some washers and a nut to pull the studs through instead of pressing them in. Threads are still nice and clean. Thank you for the video!

@panheadbob2926 3 года назад

Thank you DieselPower Source! This is the video I've been looking for. It clarified and confirmed what I needed to do to make the Rotor replacement quick and easy!

I have a 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 with a 12 valve Cummins this is the only video that showed the correct brake/rotor assembly. My 1-3/4" nut wouldn't move so I pulled the stub axle hub rotor as one, did it inside out mode, never removed the 1-3/4" nut as u c in vid the rotor is behind the wheel flange

@WillRRoberts Год назад

@rhyspreston4030 7 месяцев назад

Yes, great video because some 97’s have a disc that comes off right after the wheel. It depends on whether you have 7700 pound, or 8800 pound front end Diesel or not does not make a difference

Thank you for this. Watched a Dboss garage video on how to do this and he just tapped the rotor off with a hammer, had me totally confused as to how my rotor was attached. Thanks man.

@wolfen1086 6 месяцев назад

I see you have the cummins, probably a 3500 too, mine is a 2500 V110, the only thing I do different is I leave the cap on the brake repressive and use a caliper tool , I spent 45 year using "C" clamps though bro, that brake caliper tool is a godsend since AuthurRits took over my hands, and I don't have press, i have to do THAT the old fashioned way, with a stump 9 with 8 holes for the studs a really bug punch and a hammer

@Mrbakerbaker 3 года назад

Also, another way to press the bolts in that helps is to use the old rotor on the press, works wonders

@DIGGER19860 3 года назад

I using this idea tomorrow. Im just waiting for the lugnuts to show up at napa. I was gonna use a socket. Rotor idea is brilliant. Thanks

@Jdl223 3 года назад

Did you have to use a press or can you use something else to get the studs in?

@Mrbakerbaker 3 года назад

I used a press, but you absolutely CAN use a hammer and socket if needed!

@DIGGER19860 3 года назад

@@Jdl223 i used a press. If i had to hammer them out and in it would of taken all day. Harbor freight press is your best friend. Took me 10 minutes. And using the old rotor to hold the new one is the way to go

@eeretz 5 месяцев назад

Thanks very much. I'm still struggling to find the 4x2 version.

@shaggyduder 5 лет назад

I've watched a number of videos like one this, and I have 3 points, #1 replace the onboard seals while you have it all apart, #2 clean the knuckle and surrounding area while it's easy to get to, #3 paint all parts of the rotor and bearing that you can, they will last longer, otherwise as good Vid.

@pebcemaker3402 6 лет назад

I have a 1987 Dodge. I am looking to replace my hubs but can"t seem to find anywhere to buy the whole assembly, just the parts individually. Do you know where i can get the whole assembly?

@paintham9430 3 года назад

I grease any brake pin with hi temp grease. Keeps them moving and easy to remove.

@johndoby 4 года назад

Instead of using the socket on the bottom of the hub when pressing in the new studs, I used the old rotor. Laid flat on on the press bed rails, gave me a hole clearance hole for every stud.

@Seedcadets 4 года назад

Awesome video man. Wish I had w he’s this first before I tried. I can’t do it, I don’t have a press or the freaking right Allen bolt for the caliper lol 😂

@smoke5052 2 года назад

You can press them by hand tightening the lugs onto the studs and then tighten each one with an impact driver until evenly pressed

@ethancrimmins3513 3 года назад

Only dodge would make it this way,great video thanks. Just a note I believe it is best to center the c clamp the best you can in the caliper plunger to keep any binding from occuring that may damage the caliper

@steverapp9805 2 года назад

And leave the old shoe on to press the piston back in.

@Dirtyol12valve 2 года назад

Lol a lot of trucks are even worse. But yea thank god dodge in 2000 went to a nicer design of which the rotor just falls off

@natep6805 4 года назад

Used the extension press idea. Worked like a charm AND gave me an excuse to yell at the wife haha

@DesertRox 7 месяцев назад

Just use the nuts and an impact going around tightening as you go to press the lugs in.

@prioritytree Год назад

What are the torque specs for the 4 bolts that hold the bearing assembly?

@niobraraterminalrailroad2709 2 года назад

Better to open bleeder fitting, aim into coffee can or other catch pan, this will allow the old contaminated brake fluid to drain. Add fresh brake after pushing each of the calipers back to accept the new pads.

@arielperera989 9 месяцев назад

@Nordic67 2 года назад

Did you use a oem Hub Assembly? As of now 2022 you can't get parts oem for anything, hub, bearings, rotor.

@cpotter1565 5 лет назад

Great Video!!! Would the procedure be the same for both 4 Wheel Drive and Rear Wheel Drive?? Thanks.

@lorenlesavage2114 5 лет назад

yes

@basketballjones6782 5 лет назад

No. The (I assume you mean) 2 wheel drive flavor has a standard integrated hub/rotor. One has to remove the wheel bearings by removing the dust cap and center spindle castle nut. There is no reason to press out/in the studs, and there are no "sneaky" 4 bolts holding a hub to the steering knuckle. It's totally different than this.

@w2dmw 6 лет назад

Nice Job. Only tip I have is to suck out as much brake fluid as you can from the master with a turkey baster-type of tool, and put in fresh dot 3, or better. Now when you bleed the calipers, you'll purge out the rest of that contaminated fluid. Purge out the rear, while your at it, and she's cherry to go !!!

@USPBrasil2011 Год назад

Do you know how many pounds the 4 back bolds need to be put on?

@oldengdg2575 5 лет назад

Mine - I just changed the pads - $30 that's it. Rotor like your is just fine. Hub bearings feel good. I used a big screwdriver to pry the pad apart before removing the assembly. No groves as I changed way before any metal to metal. My Dad owned a brake shop. Fix what needs to be fixed no more. I had about half a pad of wear. Lithium grease for moving parts. Wheel Calipers work just fine no leaking. No need to replace good parts. I'm not going to turn drums with all that hub to remove and such little wear.

@srcrewchief89 3 года назад

Small piece of advice. compress the caliper piston with the c-clamp before removing the caliper and you don't need a hammer to remove.

Nobody is going to trash the threads on my studs using them to pull in a press fit thank you. I can work a press well enough and guarantee none will break strip or be over stressed. I hope you don't use that speedy impact to save time on connecting rod bolts. Quality work takes time and lasts a long time.
