[@thebritishhippie9735]

Great instructions as always, thank you for the torque specs too! Watching these guides helps my peace of mind a ton before i start projects on my 200k corolla.

[@alexkram]

Wow. This guy is a very good and thorough mechanic. Excellent lighting and focus. This is how a mechanical how-to video should be done. I'm an experienced amateur mechanic but I learned a few things like don't put anti seize on the lug studs.

[@AmeriFanPicker]

This video sooooo makes the case for just buying a quality loaded knuckle. I did both in my 04 vibe.

[@franceuxleseuf5928]

Thanks for the vid. After watching literally a hundred of these it was the first one to mention which side this type of bearing can go into the knuckle.

[@8lack5pot]

Just got quoted from the car shop, $1300 usd w 60k mile warrant for both driver + passenger...I jist saved over 900 bucks doin it on my own, I grabbed the pre assembled knuckles they had on the website! 1300 is wild

[@jamesyoung5610]

TRQ, has good parts for a good price. Add good tutorials to that list!! Thank you!

[@phatlee78]

Reusing clips saves editing time. Nice job!

[@MRBMN-zp4cd]

Very informative and satisfying to watch

[@jayak3768]

Well made video and effort with attention to details. Showing whole procedure with good visual angle and explanation.

[@georgem8200]

Great video,seems simple enough but still a bit of knowledge and work needed (subscribed). PS, do i buy a press or just drop the car off and let them do it.🤔

[@unclenuckle]

Excellent demonstration. I wish you were my mechanic.

[@lloydferguson400]

One of the best video on this topic.. Thanks

[@SanyogLamsal]

Brilliant video, and great angles thanks. Is it the same for Toyota Corolla 2012 Diesel?

[@jbob1274]

So a few things. Dont start nuts with an impact! Also go ahead and buy a whole new hub, bearing, and housing BEFORE putting a new hub and bearing in a old housing. Other than that very informative 👌 thanks 😊

[@christ9247]

I realize it's an edited video but not showing how you remove the stuck race that is still on the hub is kind of misleading. That usually requires using torches, air chisel, and/or a bearing race puller. I get not showing how to deal with the rotted dust shield, the missing ball joint nut... etc because it's a video showing about the bearing but you should have touched on the stuck race. Especially on how to not damage the hub during removal. We've all been there! Other than that pretty good/informative video.

[@yalewlemma2828]

Thanks you are helping a lot

[@perunica1]

very good explained and clear thanks

[@sd906238]

Looks like it is hard to find a 30mm 12 point impact socket. You can find a 30mm 6 point impact socket and you can find a 30 12 point standard socket.

[@genaroaviles7983]

Excellent job, good video thanks

[@TheJorgSacul]

So, if the shop wants to charge up to 2 hours labor, allowing for rusty parts and broken snap rings... I should be fine with it. Got it.

[@simply_the_dev7588]

lol I'm a idiot, this whole time I could have just taken the ball joint off with just one bolt instead of the three connecting to the control arm. Taking the ball joint last time was the hardest thing but after watching this I can see why I made it harder on myself.

[@raadmirza227]

thanks so much It was a very clear and easy way ..

[@christopherch7307]

Thank you for the video.

[@genericusername1365]

I like the trick of using a big high hat brake rotor. What year/make/model vehicle does that brake rotor come from?

[@jerenright2135]

Thanks very good video for non mechanical person

[@ebenrobinson7086]

Great video, thank you!

[@loxnglasses]

It’s faster to take the ball joint with the knuckle. It’s only three bolts and you don’t have to worry about the cotter pin and nut

[@danleonard7668]

Worked great 👍

[@StillElias]

I was safety squinting as you were removing the snap ring.

[@dubois762]

Do u have to do wheel alignment after this kind of job???? I always hear u do Let me know

[@smokemyjohnson6755]

Very helpful vid!

[@vilisoniloloyasi5054]

Nice video, good education

[@medikpac7105]

Thanks for the video- should I get an alignment after doing this job?

[@TRQ]

+MedikPac We would suggest an alignment after this installation.

[@daftsapien]

Well now that I see all the hard work that goes into just replacing the wheel bearings, I won't be surprised if I'm charged more than $75.

[@alfredrubio8397]

Is it okay to add extra grease to the new bearings? I know theyre pre-greased, but would it hurt to add more so it can last longer?

[@obinwahenry17]

Pls i stay in Nigeria. This actually is my job too. But is it necessary to apply some grease inside the bearing before installing them in d spindle?

[@carloschacon3909]

Thanks!!!

[@user-in3bb6rc7c]

keep in mind you'll have to get an alignment done if removing the knuckle.

[@kyle.smyle.]

Imma just buy a preassembled new kit😬

[@davidthomits544]

I have OTC 6575 wheel press kit do on the car much easier expensive to do but worth it

[@KimChi4Life]

Dam to replace a carolla bearing is harder than a replacing Bugatti engine

[@josephsmith3195]

Wow i thought hub assymbly just bolted on. Cant believe tgey still used this design on something until 07

[@jeffsimata6287]

amizing

[@jackperry9369]

Thanks giys

[@ricksmith1080]

Why didn’t a grease seal be replaced on behind bearings and before axle joint installed

[@bellybutton7837]

👍

[@jdmfans6078]

Can I just buy the hub and bearing already ensembled ?

[@TRQ]

+jdm fans!! Yes you can! Buy the part in this video on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@spartacusmars1887]

Drove over an invisible pothole on the freeway going 70mph and one of the threads on the wheel hub bent and ended up breaking off after I tried changing the flat tire I got from it 😤😭

[@jeffreybinkis3982]

The OTC hub grappler sells for around $600 What is the cost of the repair shop? $75-125 an hour plus parts possibly What’s the name of the game? Pay less then the cost of the shop If the repair cost $800 The tool plus the part cost $750 😆 Buy used knuckles or pay TRQ? Probably cheaper to pay TRQ what did you learn: Type your responses below

[@audreymeschkuleit3466]

DO YOU NEED A NEW HUB?

[@user-qo6bz3ct1l]

..

[@tamle3132]

Replace it better than repair it 😢
