This video also works for TJ wranglers in Australia 🙂

Great info even about the sockets at the beginning but the cotter pin is a killer. Other than that one of the best videos for this.

Thanks! Funny side story that bearing we put in was actually wrong, it was for a TJ we had to take it out and put the right one in. That’s why the pin was missing haha

Awesome filming man. clear cut.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Excellent video Henry!! Very thorough Thanks for sharing!!

[@colin5064]

Better with soma anti size on the three bearing hub bolts, and of course DONT forget the cotter pin

After watching this video and changing out my mom’s wheel bearings, one side had both 12mm bolts on the caliper and the other side had one 13mm and one 12mm lol

[@itsDeza]

Hahaha that’s so strange! I thought it was just me!

[@americanthundergod9749]

Man I don’t know how y’all got lucky having hex head bolts for y’all’s calipers. Mine are 7mm hex keys!

[@MajorWeakness]

Crazy, I'm doing this as we speak on my XJ! Thanks! My wheel is humming bad bad but no play, hope this is it unless you've got another suggestion. Sounds like a growling jet above 40mph

@Odorous Smegma it did fly...off the road...but my repair worked!

[@williamthompson969]

Need to borrow that 36 socket lol

[@itsDeza]

Hahaha

[@CrucesNomad1]

Im looking at your springs, are those stock?

[@itsDeza]

Nope! They are Rubicon express 2.5 inch lift springs!

[@americanthundergod9749]

Hey what size socket do I need for those bolts for the bearing itself? I’m doing a three corner brake replacement and I’ve gotta replace the passenger side wheel bearing so I’m trying to knock all this stuff out all at once. And how did you keep the wheel bearing still to break its nut loose?

13 mm 12 pointer

[@americanthundergod9749]

@@allanwagner4570 nine months later and back on the road with a new hub lol. Thanks bud I appreciate
