My favorite scene is 09:02. The steel hammer whacking axle shaft threads: Priceless.

[@ChavezDIY]

As a DIYer I dread replacing the wheel bearings on my car. Good job!

[@SerenoOunce]

At 18:42 can see seal on new bearing is damaged. While staking the snap ring is recommended you need to be careful. That's why I always attack the groove with a dremel to make sure it's free of any rust/debris. A coat of grease after won't hurt either. And the Camry uses a tone ring on the axle for ABS, bearing is not magnetized for this vehicle.

[@DJK.I.M.-KeepnItMovn]

I used your video to change wheel bearing knuckle assembly on 2012 Toyota Highlander (front driver and passenger). I followed your video exactly & didn’t have any issues. I successfully changed the parts and the car drives great now. Thank you.

Best how to do video ever, including all torque specs. Thank you.

Thanks for the video. If you are not going to replace the ball joint it can be left attached to the knuckle assembly. Just remove the 2 nuts and one bolt from the lower arm. Plenty of clearance room for the press to work with it attached.

[@SheenTeam10]

That's exactly what I thought. You didn't need to remove the lower ball joint out of the knuckle.

[@Kevin-bl6hx]

@@SheenTeam10 She did need to remove it from the knuckle because she stated she was replacing the Ball Joint. Doing this job and skipping replacing the ball joint that is fairly inexpensive ($30 to $60) is not a good idea for the do it yourselfer. Pissing in the wind to have to go back and do it later sucks.

The way she smack the driveshaft out the hub will damage the tread !! And you don't need to use ball joint separation fork to take out the lower ball joint , you can save the ball joint just remove the 3 17mm nut !! A simply bearing job , now you need a driveshaft , lower ball joint and a hut !! WOW I guess this is an auto part store video .

[@bienhelado204]

Love the video. The inner race in the knuckle does not come out easily like she shows. I had to put it under pressure on the press, then heat the knuckle with a MAPP torch and tap with a hammer to set up a vibration. It did pop and let go eventually, then it pressed out as shown.

[@Amelia-wl4lq]

I have an entire kit that allows you to do this with an impact with the knuckle still on the car ... I wonder about these people sometimes.. Ps- that ring was in fine enough without the punch imho .. but if she wanted it to sit further all she had to do was clean the damn groove 🤦‍♂️

[@alejandroalex8855]

what happens when a mechanic damages the bearing like it shows here on 18:42 ? Just wondering if the bearing would function properly after. Great instructional video

[@atxjax1]

Good catch. Thats the grease seal that is damaged a little. The bearings inside don't ride on it but none the less it is damaged.If it were my vehicle I wouldn't feel comfy with it.

[@stoptellingmewhattowrite]

I wouldn't take the chance with it... could be no issue but could mess up the cage or seals and fail prematurely. Unfortunately you might not know and they say F-it and put it on anyway.

[@igotaction]

Many mechanics would say F it and put it on. A wire brush to clean the groove makes the clip go all the way, plus the 300lbs of torque on the CV nut.

[@836dmar]

I thought she was pressing on the outer part of the bearing, no?

[@egSmith-sp9gl]

The seal of the bearing is damaged, so this bearing is not seal anymore. The life of this bearing will be a lot shorter than expected.......

[@josevelasco3245]

I wouldn’t hit the axle shaft end with a hammer like that. If you are at least put the nut on the tip so you don’t destroy the starting thread...been there done that and you end up rethreading or replacing the axle.

Hi, nice video quick question. Changing front wheel bearings, you think it will cause steering wheel get out of straight? They just put one wheel bearings on my 05 Camry in big O Tires today. When I pick it up my steering wheel is down to the left if I straight it up car will go to the right. Can you let me know pls thanks. Before the work there's an order to check for an allingement. I don't think they checked the allingement..When pick it up car they said no need an allingement. I return the car. They said they don't touch the tie rod only remove and put it back which is correct I know that but, if they didn't touch tie rod why my steering wheel not straight? thanks for your feedback🙂

Great job, very well done. Your video says you used a 30mm Toyota spindle nut socket which is correct but in your list of tools used you have a 32MM spindle socket listed. I'm sure some have ordered the 32mm spindle socket only to be foiled mid job.😉 Also prior to removing the axle nut, the same way you bent the little notch in the nut when you completed installing the new axle nut, you should have un bent the notch on the old spindle nut. It would have come off easier with the air gun and avoids messing up the threads on the axle shaft .
