I don’t see the hammer attachment listed. The head you put on the air gun to drive the bolt/flange off

[@Xmd321]

You guys should do the 2wd front end too. Also would love a series on the first gen Rams

This video was sent with my part order verification. Man I didn't expect that but its a 100% on point video and helpful as can be thanks ya'll!!!

I work construction so I have mechanical inclinations. That being said, I am not comfortable doing a lot of work on my vehicle outside of brakes, rotors changing the oil, spark plugs, serpentine belt, things like that. If it gets more than that I usually let somebody else do it. That being said, this video made me feel comfortable enough too. Do this job. Great explanations, went over everything in detail. Great video! Amazing instructions. Please continue to make content like this, especially on second gen Rams😂

[@dustinwarren395]

i have on a 2002 model used a steel short jack handle and the power steering of the truck as a press once. between the back of the hub portion of the assembly turn the wheel with the steel handle on the back where the lug studs are and with the truck running turn slowly, it worked, cant swear it would work again flawlessly, but it did that time.

[@cody8498]

Just to clarify for some, this is ONLY for the 4x4, if you have the RWD, the bearings are installed on the rotor/hub, there is an inner and outer that needs to be packed and sealed

[@texasmexican127]

Thank you so much I just did my passenger side hub your videos are amazing thank you

[@Blizzardand]

Thanks!

[@F9023JFjcDfsdfw2e]

Here in northern Wisconsin, It takes a pounded on smaller socket and an hour of torching, a breaker bar with a pipe just to still round the bolt head off. 👍

[@shannon57057]

I don't have the tools to jackhammer the hub loose so I loosen all the bolts,leave the steering components connected. Then I take the socket,place it on the bolt head and simply start the truck and turn the wheel both ways. It works like a press and pops the hub bearing assembly right off, or at least breaks it free. I've changed a bunch of the Dodge bearings like that and never had a problem

[@Heywoodjablowme420]

you turn the tire? or the steering wheel?

The axle nut on these is 1-11/16", but 1-3/4 will work if you don't get rough with it.

[@djplaysgames6182]

Are all 4 wheel bearings pretty much the same? Any time I look for wheel bearings they are for the front only.

[@randyrobison335]

Do you have a link for the chisel and adapter? That's a impressive tool. You make it look so easy.

I used regular anti seize on the knuckle in the hole and on the back side of the bearing to prevent corrosion would regular anti seize hurt it I’ve heard so many mixed things on anti seize I’m starting to question my self

I don't know how you got the mounting bolts put so easily I've been trying to get mine out for 4 days with no luck at all.

[@spelunkerd]

Is there an option to replace only the bearing, pressing it onto the old hub?

[@TimezUp23]

There used to be. I did the job on a 2wd dodge ram 2001. It was the front driver side. I took off the hub and used a press to get the bearing out and the new one in. But now, all of the sudden, it's like I can't buy the bearing, I have to buy the hub assembly. Crazy. Cause the bearing was only 25$. The assembly cost 113$.

At Walmart , they torque the wheel lug nuts, and drive around the block or store, then recheck them.

honestly that might just be a local thing for you. never heard of walmart doing that

[@charlesfields7908]

Maybe someone here can help me out. I have a 2000 ram 1500 4×4 i just replaced both hub bearings on the front. The driver side works great but the passenger side is chewing through bearings 20 miles of driving or so it start having an occasional roar again (give or take on minor road imperfections thats typically driven over). I jack the truck up do the 12 and 6 check no play rotate the tire no gritty feel. Im on my 4th hub bearing. Im getting to the point ive exhausted all my warranty and exchanges. Ive double checked my torque on the bolts and nut all comes out good (chilton manual specs). Does anyone have any idea what can be the cause of the premature bearing failure? I live in south alabama so the roads are pretty decent here so its not pot holes or patched asphalt like up north doing the damage. Been dealing with the issue for over a month now.

[@idontknowanythingaboutcars896]

Open up the center axle disconnect and see if it’s binding it’s a “full time” system and could be jamming up causing it to push out on the bearing wearing the components

[@fourstar7]

that backing plate desperately needed replaced. i'm surprised he didn't throw a new one on there.
