How to replace a wheel bearing

[@liteprotoss]

I think it's better for people to see videos like this, when they don't go as planned. I'm glad you're able to correct it and show people who may have had the same issue with stuck nuts. Kudos.

[@wayofthewrench]

I couldn't agree more! I hate how tv shows skip all the important stuff and just show clips of stuff and then the final product. I'm trying to do the polar opposite and teach everything in a way people can learn and remember the info.

It's better to find a good honest mechanic, pay cash, & bring cookies once a month even when you have no mechanical problems.

Thanks! I'm sure you could do it but the issue is whether the job requires heat to loosen stuck parts. Otherwise the job isn't too hard. You only learn by doing it yourself and that's how I learned. This is probably only my 5th or 6th wheel bearing hub assembly replacement I've done. Thanks for the watch!

[@Vintage.Wheels]

This is a fantastic video, I'm glad you showed that seized castle nut. If I were to add anything to this video, maybe a warning to folks working on older vehicles where wetting down the brakes is a MUST due to the potential of asbestos brake shoes. Also, keep those safety glasses on! Parts are replaceable, your eyes aren't! Love your videos, helped me with some issues I've been having with a 1968 GMC pickup 👍

[@wayofthewrench]

[@UbaldoD-bx1ip]

great videos but i noticed that when you reinstall the axle nut appeared that you over tightened, won't That damage the bearing.? if not torqued properly.? my opinion.

[@wayofthewrench]

It depends on the vehicle and their torque specifications. If they are low enough, you can get someone to hold the brakes and torque it with a torque wrench. I just did a Mazda Tribute the other day and it was only 100 ft-lbs. Some vehicles are quite high like several hundreds of ft-lbs. So in a lot of cases, an impact is ok especially if it's only a couple hits after the axle nut bottoms. Best advice is torque to proper specs though. Hope this helps. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel! Cheers!

[@gregsmith332]

@@wayofthewrench two questions: 1) Does the impact wrench has a +/- 4% accuracy rate, which is the industry standard? 2) Is the torque on the impact wrench adjustable in 1-foot-pound increments or is it just high, medium and low? if It's the latter, it's not accurately torqued. This is how you get premature bearing failure.

Would you only replace the bad bearing, the axle, or all 4 at a time?

[@wayofthewrench]

You are supposed to change both bearings on an axle but I have changed just one if a person's budget is tight and the axle isn't connected to the other side. I wouldn't change all 4 though because the way life goes, you'll end up selling or having it written off before you would need to do the next set. Thanks for the watch and the good question!

Some parts you can return to get back your core charge but bearings are usually scrap. I collect scrap metal in a bin until it's full and then I put it in a vehicle that I'm going to scrap. Then they give us a bit of money for the scrap value. Thanks for the watch!

That's not true, not all manufacturers, especially aftermarket ones have removed asbestos from their friction material.

While candle wax will work some penetrating oils (seafoam deep creep comes to mind) do very well with heat and suck in a lot easier.

Ive done this in the street with no power tools years ago..getting the big old castle nut off was fun...

[@wayofthewrench]

Yeah that's where the fun is.......lol. been there , done that. Much easier with heat but ya gotta have the heat. Thanks for the watch!

[@BA-in1js]

Can you change the bearing itself rather to open and change all the hub assembly and this will save money and time.

[@wayofthewrench]

Not this type. There are 3 types: bearing hub assemblies, press in type, and thrust style with inner and out races. This type is a complete unit and cannot be fixed....just replaced. Thanks for the watch!

is $600 about right to replace one wheel bearing and hub assembly and front axyl. i hit a post and messed my car up. fixed now but an expensive mistake. i appreciate video+ reply.

[@wayofthewrench]

Is this in USD and is this for just the parts or including labour?

[@daviddowns7552]

@@wayofthewrench yes in USD+ it was with parts and labor. he seems to be honest about things and real helpful. i wanted to get opinion + i know those parts and labor can be sorta expensive. i appreciate reply.

[@wayofthewrench]

The labour is what makes it so expensive as there is a bunch of hours to get those parts off and put them on correctly. The parts are probably only $200-350. Cheers!

Finally a real mechanic who uses his hands and doesn't wear Latex gloves while working. Good job on this video.

[@wayofthewrench]

Lol, yeah maybe I should but old habits are hard to break. I've always been a "hands on" guy who just got his hands dirty and enjoyed working with his hands. I've never liked watching people do anything....I had to do it and I find it's one of the best ways to learn something new. Thanks for the watch!

Lol gloves are an additional strength and protector . I accidently stabbed myself with a flat head without gloves.

[@csvscs]

Nothing wrong with gloves. Why are you so anti glove?😂

[@johnguilfoyle3073]

Be advised. When moving to a bigger tool, you need to make sure you have enough air supply. Ya gotta let the Big Dawg eat! When I sold tools for Mac Tools, a customer wanted a 1" impact gun for big truck work. I delivered the tool, but he wouldn't buy the hose I had ordered for the gun. The following week he wanted to return the 1" Impact because it wasn't working right. I left him the 3/4" hose and fittings to set it up properly. When I asked him about it the next week, he said it scared him how much more power it had on the first hit.

[@wayofthewrench]

That's a great tip and something that would totally slip by people's minds. That being said, in our shop we almost never use this 3/4" impact gun so probably a waste to get that set up in our shop. Thanks for the suggestion.

Isnt it possible to fix one of these bearings?

[@wayofthewrench]

Wheel bearing hub assemblies aren't fixable but any press in bearings are. Thanks for the watch!

[@genoaoak]

A couple of M8 bolts driven into those threaded holes on the rotor will pop that rotor off without any hammering.

[@wayofthewrench]

Yeah if your rotor has them you can totally use them. Watch out if you have internal drum brakes though as they can break springs if the shoes are worn into grooves. Thanks for the watch!

Just what i needed to find how to replace those rusted bolts

[@wayofthewrench]

Yeah this is one of if not the best trick for stubborn bolts/nuts.....heat

[@Aberod155]

Cool video. Just curious do you step the lugs when you tighten them? I have seen where some people torque to half of the spec, do the star pattern that way and then the full spec, going around in star pattern. Thanks

[@wayofthewrench]

Thanks Catch11! I do but not really. What I usually do is tighten in a star pattern with a ratchet and snug them up. Then I set a torque wrench and do the final torque in a star pattern followed by another tighten at final torque in a circular pattern to ensure none got missed or the first one not as tight. This is already better than most mechanics who just use torque sticks on an impact gun. I save my multiple passes with increasing torque when I'm installing things that have multiple bolts and have gaskets like intake manifolds and heads. Thanks for the watch, cheers!

[@Aberod155]

@@wayofthewrench Great, thank you.

[@wayofthewrench]

I also recheck lugnuts after 1 week or 100 km in case they loosen up, especially aluminium rims. Cheers!

[@Aberod155]

@@wayofthewrench That brings me to the question of how you check them properly? Want to make sure I do this correctly. Btw, if the lugs were over tightened at some point and there seems to be no issues with rotors or anything, can you simply loosen and retorque to the right spec or is there more to it. Again, appreciate the knowledge.

[@wayofthewrench]

To check or recheck lugnut torque, set the torque wrench to your correct torque and attempt to tighten the lugnut. If it doesn't move the lugnut and the torque wrench clicks, then it is correct and check the rest. If the lugnut moves while attempting to torque it with the properly set torque wrench, then it has loosened/ or was not tightened enough last time. If the torque was not done by you before, then you have no idea if it is too tight but if any damage was done (stripped studs/warped rotors) it has already been done and you won't know until you go to take them off next time. I find this all the time because people don't own a torque wrench so they tighten them too much because they stood on a lugnut wrench and sometimes they are too loose because they guessed with a ratchet.
