2013 Jeep Patriot.... How To Replace Front Wheel Bearing

[@douglasebert4542]

man i love how easy these patriots are to work on so many different options you have to approach a job

[@08civicSI4dr]

Thanks bud for the great thorough video. I was stuck and because of your video I was able to overcome the obstacle. I bought the whole hub but it was stuck on the lower ball joint.

[@dmwautomotive2291]

Thanks for the comment bud. I enjoy knowing I helped someone. I'm glad you got it.

[@bracedeclerck]

Thanks! This video helped a lot. Now lets see you replace there rear subframe in that same jeep. 😬

[@dmwautomotive2291]

I'm glad it helped. It's not my jeep lol sorry I can not do that for you.

[@pattywaktdiy4175]

Ha ha, the disappointment on his face when the axle slid right out...couldn't use his nifty air hammer. I felt for him right there.

[@TheCMully]

Awesome video! I was able to find the full assembly for about the same price of just having the bearings pressed out/in. This video was perfect for what I needed. Thank you!

[@dmwautomotive2291]

I'm glad I could help bud. Thanks for watching. These kind of comments help me keep doing videos.

[@jeffsmith8842]

What was part number..... .where did you find complete unit, that was a quality part.... im in WI and couldnt find anything but the bearing.......

[@robertprichard3236]

Great video. Very in depth. Thank you very much for posting it.

[@dmwautomotive2291]

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate comments like this. I hope the video helped you with the repair. Have a good one.

[@ramiromanchajr.5405]

easy way to get those spinning tie rods most of the time you can pressure the joint up with your hand and impact it off. sometimes works with your hand but if you put a jack there and pressure it will always work

[@dmwautomotive2291]

@@ramiromanchajr.5405 iv had to do that a couple of times. Thanks for the advice and for watching.

[@mohamedal-shimy4532]

Details are good ;thank you very much

[@dmwautomotive2291]

I'm glad I could help. Thanks for the feedback it helps a lot

[@ToranMenulas1]

Great Video. Best I've See On A Patriot. It's a pain to replace done it once 1yr ago. Think I got s bad bearing. Fixing to do it again. Unfortunately it's hard to find a place that will push the bearing in and out for you

[@dmwautomotive2291]

Thanks bud. I try to make a good video without being boring. That sucks you have to do another one. Hopefully you can find a place to press it out. Good luck thanks for watching

[@rhensonsr]

Great video! That is one rusty ass Jeep.

[@vivianbraggs6557]

Thanks....I have trust in my Mechanic to fix everything right. So Wheel bearing is on 1 side?

[@dmwautomotive2291]

@vivianbraggs6557 no. All 4 wheels each have one. It's a pretty easy job, so any mechanic should be able to do them. Good luck, and thanks for watching

[@Scypher0th]

so much smarter n easier to just buy a whole new nuckle with a hub n bearing already pressed in it for a few bucks more than just replace the bearing

[@joescott2879]

Respect Great video;)

[@dmwautomotive2291]

Thanks bud. I appreciate it. Thanks for watching

[@ConleyProduction]

What did I learn as a 5yr rookie mechanic. Always use lower metrics for Sway bar link nuts that's keep spinning

[@justincase1575]

I bought the kit to press out on car. Harbor freight. Works good. Just have to make sure you press in just enough to not destroy wheel speed sensor.

[@dmwautomotive2291]

That sounds a lot easier. I didn't know they had a tool like that. Thanks for the info.

[@NextLevelAutoDiagnosticsLLC]

Could you please link that Harbor Freight kit you referring to

[@shans_gj]

thank you !!!

[@dmwautomotive2291]

Your welcome bud. Hope It helped.

[@shans_gj]

@@dmwautomotive2291 yes of course thx

[@huskertr1_music_remain_whe313]

Hell yeah I didn't know Danny McBride was going to be the instructor in this video. Lol

[@justincase1575]

Aluminum rim on steel hub. I pump grease into the rim center after install so it don’t rust! Had to split first one off

[@dmwautomotive2291]

Wow that would suck. I've never had one stuck that bad. Normally a few taps they come off.

[@russtew1]

So no front end alignment needed? Getting ready to change mine but worried about alignment now

[@dmwautomotive2291]

No. Just changing a wheel bearing should not throw off the alignment because your not messing with any of the alignment adjustments so it should still be set to the right specs. Good luck with changing it.

[@genemaverick5705]

It’s cheaper to replace the whole thing , my son has a jeep compass , it has a bad bearing , I’m just going to replace the whole knuckle with the bearing already in it . Just unbolt old one and bolt up the new one , easy peasy ! Lol , most shops want $300 to press the bearing out and new one in , no thanks , good video though .

[@dmwautomotive2291]

That does sound easier. Thanks for watching and good luck with your son's. Have a good one

[@Cheengowah]

PB blaster is your friend

[@dmwautomotive2291]

I agree in most cases but this one was terrible lol.

[@Cheengowah]

@@dmwautomotive2291 I get it man. I am a tech myself and this is a perfect example of a project fighting you every step of the way. It is almost never straight forward and I hope people have a better understanding now. I am going to get the pre-installed bearing because that is one less step to fight you imo. Thanks for the video!

[@dmwautomotive2291]

@Cheengowah yea it sucks sometimes. I live in ohio so I deal with rust all the time. Unfortunately flat rate still pays the same rather its super easy or you fight with something for 7 hrs.

[@dropdoc4927]

much easier to replace with another loaded knuckle.

[@dmwautomotive2291]

It could be easier to an extent. But there is always a chance of other things giving you trouble. I've never seen then sold new that way. And I'm sure this way is a lot cheaper.

[@joshkeech1104]

Just to change a wheel bearing!? Holy shit

[@dmwautomotive2291]

Yea it wasn't very fun. Had a lot of trouble with this one. Good luck if you have to do yours. I wish you the best. Thanks for watching.
