2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Front Wheel Bearing Replacement (Using A Hub Tamer) Easy Procedure No Press Needed!!! If You Found This Helpful Think About SUBSCRIBING To The Channel And Check Out Or Other Videos
2 styles of axle nuts one that requires a cotter pin and others that are self locking.The locking nuts are very common on these newer models vehicles. Basically the outside threaded portion of the nut is not perfectly circular and really grips the threads when tightened down. No issue here.
A little heat and a chisel or carefully make a cut in the race and use a chisel to split it. If you access to a oxy acetylene torch you can heat and spin it off easily. If not the cut and split method is generally the easiest for a DIYER. Just be careful not to cut into the shaft of the hub.
@@wyelandlebeouf7202 What are you 12yo. I was a mechanic for 7 years. Do some research before making a snarky comment. Without the proper torque on that axle nut, the bearing will fail.
@@justapile4376 You were a mechanic for 7 years? Then, why didn't you simply comment the torque specs? The guy in the video used a torch, but you didn't suggest he include the type of gas he used. What are you 12?
Almost no rust on this vehicle made it super easy, you can put the axle nut on a few turns and use A dead blow hammer to try and push it out of the hub. You could also try a center punch in the middle of the axle shaft with a hammer just be cautious to not damage the threads on the axle.
@TheRivle Dewalt XR only for the price point and I have about 15 battery’s for the tools lol Milwaukee would probably be best if moneys not an issue. I just try and save where I can. But the dewalt has never let me down!
only if the bearing is already frozen solid and fully seized. Once it's in place the grease film breaks down and it/s there until you press it out again.
You must lube the contact surfaces when pressing in a bearing to aid in proper fitment. Any residual lube in that area will not cause slippage but it will reduce the chance of moisture ingressing to the area and causing rust.
For DIY Light Use Harbor Freight Sells a Maddox Brand, It Was Actually The First One I Had I Ever Purchased The Kit Help Up Pretty Well Considering It’s Lower Cost.You Can Also Call Around To Your Local Parts Stores To See If They Offer A Hub Tamer As A Loan A Tool.
A Hub Tammer Is Not A Press. At One Point A Hydraulic Press Was The Standard Practice For Removal And Install Of Wheel Bearings And Hubs. This Video Shows The Replacement With A Hub Tammer That Can Allow The Removal And Install Of A Wheel Bearing On Or Off Of The Vehicle, Per The Title And Thumbnail Picture Of The Video That Shows What A Press Is And Looks Like Marked With A Red X There Was Never At Any Point A “Press” Used For This Repair. This Is The Alternative Method And Most Commonly Used Tool When Not Using A Press.
Do the new bearings come with that little horseshoe locking pin, and if mine didn't, and the old one was broken can I get another one? Also I didn't see you put that on (the lock pin). However Im assuming it's fairly simple to pop in there, do you pop it in after you put the bearing in the knuckle, but before you put the hub in the bearing?
Depending on the brand bearing you purchase yes it may come with a replacement so just check when shopping for your part. If I skipped that step my apologies the retaining ring will go on right after installing the bearing into the knuckle and right before installing the hub.
Thanks, I work on all my own stuff, not because I'm a machanic, but I just don't have the money. So I often have questions. However, alot of people don't usually answer your questions, so again thanks man.
In under 20 minutes I can save you hundreds on replacing a bearing your self. Really talk less??? if 20 minutes of your time is more valuable then the money saved take it to a shop to get it fixed!!! Everything said covers the information needed to properly do this repair!
