Man I’m in the hotshot business and this happen to me 500 miles from my house. I was looking thru videos and ran into yours. Best video explanation ever. Save me a lot of money from a mechanic. Stop and did the work myself at a truck stop. Thank you so much.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Awesome it's crazy what you can find on the internet!! 💪🏼

[@sesariosanchez7043]

@@DIRT-BOSS yes again thanks!

[@gregorymiller4905]

I like how you showed the struggle of getting them off. Many others would have gotten it all apart and put it back together before making the video. Thanks for keeping it real.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks man

[@GrimThe21]

Dude, I appreciate your time to make this video. I’m not a master mechanic and sometimes get a little overwhelmed doing thing on my own, you can feel that I’m in over my head feeling when shit don’t go back nice or come off nice, watching you have moments of hardship while doing it, let’s me know just because its not going smooth at times not to panic. You rock, I’m doing mine this weekend.

[@ericolsen983]

Very good video. I worked for a parts store and only thing I would suggest is don’t use an impact on any of the bolts or the nut that secure the hub putting it together. SKF rep explained that it is the biggest cause of early failure because they are built to high tolerance and the impact can move the bearing race just a faction throwing them off. Fine to use it taking it apart, just not on anything putting it on. Especially the axle nut.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks good tip!

[@sonnyblazer5504]

Nice-a-Nice! Early front wheel drive days we had to change that inner (B39) bearing - NO ASSEMBLIES then! You needed a PRESS - do NOT hit with a hammer or bearing is toast. YOU DONE GOOD (again) and we all appreciate it. Hey, that RAM is nice don't be in a hurry for a FORD but "VERY BEST" to whatever you want & do! Thanks. Sonny

Yeah i hope so !

[@johnnaberezny183]

Use the 4 wheel bearing bolts to push out the bearing from the hub. Back them half way out, socket and extension back to the knuckle and crank on the steering with the truck running.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

I've seen that before that's a good tip

[@ColtonRoberts-gd2rx]

Don’t know if you have an extra hand around but if you take and run the bolts 3/4 the way out on the back side of that hub if you can find the right size socket and extension in length you can put it on that bolt and you stick it on the bolt and should be touching the frame or anything sturdy enough on it to take the pressure and start the truck turn the wheel it will separate the bearing too so you don’t have to wear yourself out beating on it mine wouldn’t come off hitting it with a huge sledgehammer so had to come up with a different idea

[@aaronwilcox6417]

Good job. The worst one of these unit bearing jobs I did required an 100T press to press it out of the steering knuckle. Unbelievably stuck.

[@edstevens9357]

Getting it done! Lots of tricks for dealing with our upstate rust

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yeah it's a total different work ethic You need big hammers !

[@CamelGarage]

Also next time use a socket and extension on the hub bolt and have someone start and turn the wheel using the power steering as a press. My 06 I spent 4 days pounding and pounding until my buddy seen the idea and like magic it popped right off.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes I've seen that trick done before It does work good

[@greatestaccesstutorialever8295]

I think I'm gonna have to do all 4 for my 2011 3500 mega-cab diesel. It's 'whistling' when I drive (sorta like someone blowing over a soda bottle) and the only thing I can think of is bearings -- none of my wheels move that I can tell (left-right or up-down) so I'm assuming it's just starting and they're on the way out. Not too bad at 163,000 miles (but I bought it used at 88,000 miles). Great video and thanks for showing the effort involved, lets me know I'm not about to break somethin'!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Nice good luck

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Uhhh Boss.... it is apparent that you aren’t a certified mechanic... because there were several parts you could have needlessly replaced just to run up the bill!!! The test drive was definitely smoother and quieter. Nice repair! My first disk brake job taught me the value of tying up the caliper. The brake line made it long enough to bleed the brakes... but not long enough to stop at the first intersection. Fortunately I was going just slow enough to clear the rear end of a pickup that was crossing the intersection. Since then, I’ve sacrificed enough coat hangers to eguip a walk-in closet! Great job putting my face right in the action. I’ve never seen that repair from the inside.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yeah it's all about the camera angles these days

Take 1 hub bolt to the hardware store. Get 2 six in bolts the same thread and cut the heads off. Thread them into the hub opposite corners and use them as a driver to help drive the old hub out.
