I would just replace the hub once removed with a brand new one, less work and also there might be undue wear to the hub. The difference in price for the bearing and complete hub isn't that awful much and you don't have to worry about knowing there is wear to the hub. Remember you will also need to get an alignment after this for sure. Thnx for video, it was explicit enough.
Excellent backyard job. Thank you for this. Also brush off some of that rust, clean it up since you're already there. It will add years in some cases to the material.
From Scotland the home of rusty cars. I have just done this job and the snap ring was as bad as yours. I gas welded a washer to what was left of the snap ring and levered it out. Buying a new hub is unnecessary. I did like the video.
Hey, that was awesome!…I replaced a wheel bearing on my Echo by taking the hub off the car..and pounding in a new bearing…liked your method better…took me a full day to figure it out!
Big job, thank you for sharing. I think I will go to the mechanic on this one. I did the struts and cv axle on our yaris, but this seems too advanced for me.
So it's been over 2 years since this video. May I ask, that press set that you use to press the bearing back on, is it still in good condition? Is the long bolt and long nut ok and not stripped? I'm just curious, because several reviews are saying that the bolt and nut get totally stripped. But I wonder if those people who report that are perhaps using an impact wrench.
3 hours later lol sorry for late reply, Ok Honestly I have been using this tool a lot and I been using impact wrench as well, as of right now the long bolt and Nut it's still in perfect condition, This is a very important question Thanks for watching this video and God bless
Rather that cut with a grinder it is made of case hardened steel . Put it in a vice put some pressure on it then hit it with a hammer and it will split. Wear goggles just in case of a splinter flying off.
I tried doing the job exactly how you did, But I had to turn the wheel and I tried starting the car and it wouldn't start... I had to get it towed out of the water.. 🤔..
@@IshMotorparts Hi, you didn't shown the bearing outer ring was removed using the tool. Was it difficult or unsuccessful? I'm doing this and it is very hard to do it.
I think you cut too deep, slight cut and hammer, no go, cut more than hammer wheel hub race with chisel. Other than that, thank you for the instruction.
@@IshMotorparts Bro, I did mine, and still nipped the wheel hub, lol. No better than yours, I think I spoke too soon, lol. However, they're is a tie rod race puller by OTC that some techs are using, I think I'm going to go that route my next wheel bearing change. I'll provide the description on Amazon for you. If the tie rod race remover doesn't catch, you cut indentations on the base of the race for the teeth to lock on to.. anyways here it is: OTC (7503) Tie Rod/inner bearing race puller Remover. Again, thank you sir.
That would be nice if you can find one with the Bearing already in the Hub, if not just use one already in your hand , thanks for watching and come back soon
