Man, I don't know why you don't have more Likes on your videos! You're one of the best auto repair channels out there. Very helpful when I'm fixing my wife's Durango.

Love the simplicity of your video presentations. It speaks volumes to your knowledge and professionalism.

78 ft-lbs for the bearing retainer bolts 144 for the caliper bolts 239 for the axle retainer nut (4x4)

[@s.b.alloway]

just changed my first hub assembly, hanks to your video. thank you for a clear, descriptive and effective video! :)

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Awesome! Glad it helped. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe!

[@fryloc359]

I looked this up just to make sure there wasn't something I missed. Nope, I just had to get my pullers and hot wrench out. Life in the rust belt.

[@learnitfromwilliam]

Well done, I'm getting ready to change one of mine (thankfully with the help of my uncle who is a mechanic).

[@jEthrodul1]

good video. clear. did my 2013 gc in less than an hour.

[@randysims6142]

Thank you so much for this video helped out a ton

[@lavontrellrussell2235]

I have a 2011 Dodge Durango. So the O Ring is not needed? Mines tour. Thanks a lot Sir, I was about to change the whole part for no reason

[@MotorCityMechanic]

It’s just there for assembly at the factory to hold the rotor in place. No needed

[@michelseguin7884]

Great job and well explained. Thx

[@JustCoolAF]

Any links to the rear knuckle assembly? I have to replace it but nothing is showing up.

[@MiguelRojas-j5v]

Great video!

[@FlukeSniper]

Thanks for the video! Quick question, do you recommend an alignment after this replacement? I'm working on my AWD Durango. Thanks!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

When it comes to hub bearings no. You should be fine unless the alignment was off before already.

[@chrisjackson8432]

So I have an AWD Durango is the only difference from the 2 wheel drive is the axle nut right? Otherwise it's same process?

[@buleyauto]

I have a 2011 Durango and I’ve been getting a medium pitch howl at 40 mph and above. Does not change in turns, gets louder with more speed, stays same both on and off the throttle. It may be me but it seems like gas mileage is going down as well. Wheel bearing, drive shaft? No play or noise at he front wheels when jacked up. I could use your insight!

[@Robmer913]

Hey man great vid. By any chance would you know the part number to the back plate where the 3 bolts go too is?

[@Cadavissr31]

Do you have a video with an AWD Durango or Jeep front hub assembly. Looking for any issues and proper process for removing hub from front axle

[@anthonyorgain2056]

Did u lock tight any of those bolts or do u recommend it ? as far as the hub bolts ?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

I dont lock tight them....there is no need in my opinion. Thanks for asking and for watching.

[@RIchardDavidson007]

I have to replace both spindles on my 2013 Dodge Durango. Where can I get the specific torque specs for the spindle assembly.

[@filynv582]

hello, I have a durango '13 69 miles and appear I have that problem on the passenger side, my question is the part is defective?

[@Kiddro22]

That hub assembly didn’t come out that easy. I want to see the blood sweat and tears of getting it out.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

This is Georgia….they almost always fall off lol. Honestly I don’t have too many issues removing them unless it came from up north.

[@Kiddro22]

@@MotorCityMechanic makes sense. I’m here in Illinois. I think manufacturers should be required to apply anti-sease or something of that matter when built. It takes most one’s day just trying to get it off. Great tutorial vid by the way.

[@Simomotard33]

I didn't know that this gran cherokee is also available in 2wd setup

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Oh yeah....pretty much from day one. All the Jeeps from the Grand Cherokee to even the Wrangler can be ordered either as a 2wd or 4wd. Thanks Simone for the comment and for watching. Make sure to subscribe!

[@Simomotard33]

MotorCity Mechanic wow its funny. I work in italy in a jeep-chrysler-dodge workshop and i have never never seen a wrangler or a grand cherokee in 2wd setup, all in 4wd setup

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Lol.....I promise you they do. Its for those that want that Jeep but drive in the cities lol. My 2011 is 2wd as well. Guess I am one of those people lol. Cool to hear from someone in the industry!

[@RammSnipe]

Do you have any tips for the AWD front hub? its so tight trying to back the bolts out while the axle is still in. Backed them out until they contact the axle shaft, but cant get the hub to start coming forward to finish backing the bolts out. Any help would be appreciated!!!

[@PKRocker18]

How to replace output shaft seal on a 2013 Durango?

[@krayzie7022]

Is the rear wheel bearing the same as the front?

[@phoenixst0ne23]

do you know what size is the axle nut on a 4wd durango? Thanks,

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Not at this time. The service info doesnt list that info and I dont know it personally from the last time I did one.

[@2011lafayette]

I think its 36 mm

[@RammSnipe]

Its a 32mm for anyone who finds this comment.

[@XOneStarX]

Does anyone know the torque for the axle nut?

[@dgoode2846]

👍👍thank you

[@jessejames9739]

How much different is the 4*4 going to be

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Nothing more then an axle nut having to be removed and the axle shaft pushed thru the hub as its being removed

[@jessejames9739]

Ok thank you

[@moparmike914]

is it possible to get a video of a front and rear brake job?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

+Mike Mitchell I will have to keep it in mind Mike for when the next one comes in for that repair. I will certainly keep it in mind

[@salitrillos9]

what about the abs sensors they go separate???

[@salitrillos9]

i have a dodge durango 2013

[@MotorCityMechanic]

You can get them both ways.....some hub bearing assemblies will come with them and if you need just the sensor, they do sell them that way as well. Thanks for the question and make sure to subscribe!

[@salitrillos9]

thank you

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Your welcome!

[@Lone_Wolf202]

does the Oring need to go back on or was that just a miss

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Good catch......actually the o-ring isn't needed as far as going back. It's used at the factory to hold the rotor in place until the caliper is mounted. Much like the metal clips they use on some years that slide over the wheel studs. Thanks for the question and for noticing. Make sure to subscribe

[@Super1genius40]

Do you have info for the rear hub?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

+Raymond Williams I don't currently. I will keep it in mind as a future video if I ever have one in the shop. Make sure to subscribe so that you get notified when I upload videos such as that.

[@SuperAsianDude1]

is there anything different from the 4x4 than the 2wd beside taking off the axle nut? and what about the ABS?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

The procedure will be the same. As you mentioned.....just the axle nut being the biggest difference.

[@SuperAsianDude1]

what size is the axle nut if there were to be one?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

James Kang Hey James. I don't know right off hand. They don't mention it in the service info and being that I have a set of larger sockets.....I just grab until I find one that fits. Sorry I don't know at the moment

[@Mark-fc4gz]

Thanks for the video, it was a huge help. On a 2014 (V6) AWD, the axle nut took a 32 mm. I used a 1-1/4" socket on mine because the nut was slightly undersized and this was a little less sloppy. This nut gets torqued to 185 ft-lb.

[@micahbaker4452]

@@Mark-fc4gz Thanks for mentioning this! I've been trying to figure out what socket to use for so long! 😂
