Completed a right-side IWE replacement today. Disassembling revealed that the IWE had *split in two*, with the spline gear stuck on the hub's spline and barely engaged on the CV side spline. Explains why the grinding was on right-hand turns - the weight of the CV would cause it to disengage from the stuck spline gear. Both the CV and hub splines where in perfect shape, so I avoided a far more expensive repair. The replacement tested fine during assembly and when everything was back together, let's hope it lasts longer than its predecessor. Thanks for making all of these videos, they really helped a lot!

@@MaddSweetGT500 it’s simple. Just take your time. Go ahead and get two jack screws prepared in case your rotors are stuck to the hub. Just run the jack screws in and the rotor will come off super easy.

I have to say I like the way she gave a complete, outlined tool list.. I'll admit bonkin my head crawling out from underneath a vehicle cause I had the wrong socket or was just plain disorganized.

[@bret4883]

You can remove the whole caliper as one unit, no need to disconnect the caliper from the caliper bracket. Also why did you disconnect the upper control arm? And when? The removal of it, isn't shown in the video

[@mland4298]

Well isn't that something? I wasn't the only one that noticed the upper A arm had gotten disconnected at some point, not in the video, and odd that they've not addressed your question with a reply.

[@barneslawntree4877]

Because while making this video there was also a video being recorded for replacing the upper control arms. Shot both vids in one go and that’s why it looks like things magically got disconnected. Brakes got changed so that’s why the calipers got completely torn down too. I gotta replace brakes, hub, and UCA’s as well on my truck soon.

[@c1arkbar]

After replacing the wheel bearing it is throwing a “service Advancetrac” warning. Now the wrench light won’t turn off. I also replaced calipers on both sides.

[@georgegoodman9828]

She was very good in explaining have too replace it!!!👍🏾👍🏾

[@adrianvaldivia7727]

Do those bearing come pre greased? Did I miss that part?

[@paulholmes672]

Thank you for showing how to unlock those thrice damned electrical connectors. Everyone else says, "To Change the hub, reach behind the wheel well and disconnect the connector..." and magically, sight unseen disconnect them. Retired as a controls engineer so connectors are not an unknown to me but a lot of these connectors, if you do them wrong, you can easily destroy them, or at least the locking feature. Again, Thank you.

Thank you for the video. I did my bearings and IWEs today. Dead honest with you, those bolts for the brake caliper bracket did not come out that easy. As in we had to use a breaker bar with a cheater. Anywho, the TRQ bearings you are selling seem to be high quality.

Great video on how to change the hub assembly but was the hub bad? I notice that the iwe bolts were missing and the iwe was loose... or did I miss something?

[@jeffrandolf5673]

Did I miss where you disconnected the upper BALL JOINT? The entire assembly is vertical, then at 07:15, it is flopped down & I see the upper ball joint is LOOSELY together at 10:24From the comments below... I read she was replacing many things... this was not just a wheel bearing replacement ALONE. This makes it confusing to those who know what theyre looking at, yet she never said the "upper ball joint needs to be separated" or not??

[@blackenigma1054]

No i have the exact same truck, i replaced the pads front and back, and rotors front to back and when i apply brakes im getting a pulsating pedal or vibration when braking....i wonder if my wheel hub bearings are bad?

+Black Enigma We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@TheHousedigs]

Is it easier to replace the actuators when you pull the hubs as well? I'm just curious as you did not separate the ball joints when this was done.

[@c.ramiez4505]

It’s a multiple job video if you watch it closely. They just show us the wheel hub removal here. If you watch the second half you’ll notice they have the upper ball joint removed and the 4x4 actuators are new. I felt it was easier to remove the hubs when the upper ball joint was still attached so you could really hit it hard without the whole spindle moving. (Mine was really rusted so I had to use a really big hammer).

[@GULIVERSOFFROAD]

could have left the caliper on the bracket with pads also much easier to put a socket on the hub unit bolts to push the hub bearing out

[@michaelhall8483]

Noticed she removed the brake caliber from the caliber bracket this is not necessary just makes more work. Just remove the caliber bracket all in one piece. Also noticed she used a screwdriver for a prybar that’s not a proper way to use a screwdriver. Also she used needle nose pliers instead of panel clip pliers. use the right tools for the right job.

So......I did this and you know the nut that needs to be replaced on the cv shaft? Ya, so it comes with red loctite on it and you need to heat it up with a torch before threading it on. Great video but without that info it's easy to break off the threaded bolt and it'll cost ya a lot of money. Especially, if your working on a raptor. Other then that this video covered the bases.

[@deriecamo1]

I had to do some searching for the nut on Amazon and Ford Parts. It turns out the part number is N802827 for ford or N802-827S100 for Amazon. You can buy them for less than $8 a piece. They take about 2 weeks to arrive at least that is what Amazon is estimating. They are much smaller than expected compared to my 2014 Mustang which I replaced the hubs on 2 years ago.

[@garretthatfield150]

I understand the videos of this but my wheel bearing has no play could’ve been in also be making a grinding noise is because it’s worn out and I wore a way to Greece but still have no play because when I shake my tire I got no movement and I thought it was my 4 x 4 actuator that didn’t fix the problem so now I’m wondering maybe I need to replace the bearing because it only makes a loud grinding noise when you accelerate but when you let off the gas it goes away

@@adenseay4513 if the IWE is let go to long will you have to replace the hub assembly?, mine was making that noise only under load and i replace the IWE and check valve it still seems to do it but a lot quieter and does not seem to last as long

[@adenseay4513]

Justin Bolton if there is any loss of vacuum it will cause it to engage if it has been going on a long time the most you’ll probably have to replace is the bearings inside the hub due to being worn down by the grinding. Also you saying it happens under load backs up my thought of a vacuum leak because when you accelerate the truck doesn’t produce vacuum it depends on the reserve. Check the reservoir for cracks maybe.
