No need to remove knuckle from car. Use a slide hammer to remove hub, then use the bearing tool to remove bearing/race & then snap ring. Clean inner knuckle, then install new bearing, snap ring, hub using the bearing press tool. Just did 2 of them today.

[@richardspaulding5035]

I agree , in this case I pulled the knuckle because I was also replacing ball joints and tie rods, I should have mentioned that on the video

[@huntspoint3442]

But why not remove the knuckle, it only takes another couple of minutes.

They do make race bearing pullers. They are a tool that opens up in the center of in two pieces and two threaded rods on each side and then you tighten it together around the race and then you run a threaded rod through it and then cranked out it pulls it off

[@richardspaulding5035]

Thanks Anthony; I am aware that those tools exist. I learned the method in the video as a young mechanic in the 1970s before there were such tools available. I was taught by an old timer who was then, probably the same age I am now LOL.

[@BlondieSL]

About the price of buying stuff like this, my attitude is, if I can buy the tools I need to fix my own vehicle, where a shop would charge 2-5 times as much, then immediately, after 1st use, it's paid for. LOL This has worked out well for me. I plan on buying this kit soon too, BUT, there seem to be so many knockoffs out there and a few reviews that say that the big nut and bolt strip too easily.

[@richardspaulding5035]

Most of the people who strip the bolt are using air power tools, keep the jack screw lubricated and crank it by hand.

In this instance I happened to be replacing some of the other components as this gave me the option to remove the entire knuckle with out much fuss. I thought perhaps it would be visually better for my viewers to demonstrate the kit on the bench. My mistake in the video was I failed to mention that it can as well be done on the car without removing the steering knuckle.

[@JayJay-rb6rt]

Hi richard, thank you for this video, very informative and because of this video, i bought the same thing online. Question, i noticed on your video that the bearing, after the pressed, you put in a seal, can u share where can i buy it? Also i noticed was there no some form of metal tin ghat covers the assembly.

[@richardspaulding5035]

Thanks for the question Jay Jay; The seals I used did not come with the new bearing. You can purchase them at your local parts store. I got my seals at AutoZone. Just tell them the make, model and year of your car and say you want the front inner and outer wheel bearing seals. On some cars they have a steal cap that covers the axle nut. Let me know how your job goes. Do not over tighten your axle nut when you are done. You will need to look it up the spec. on line and use an torque wrench to finish. Let me know how the job goes. Thanks for watching.

[@okhascorpio]

Question: Would using slide hammer to pull out the hub, while on the car, would damage the other side's bearing? because its transmitting energy to the other side wheel? if car is on ground of course. I did my left bearing this way, and now the right bearing started making noise.

[@richardspaulding5035]

sorry I did not get back to your sooner, I don't see how that is possible, last couple of times I have had to replace bearings I had to do both sides anyway, if you think about it both bearings would have same miles on the same roads, it is reasonable to think both would go around same time. thanks for watching my vidio

[@MegaLostOne]

No, you won't harm the other bearing. After removing the CV axle nut you want to make sure the axle is not seized to the hub so the axle will slide free of the hub when the hub is removed. Generally you would remove the lower ball joint from the knuckle or if you can remove the bolts from the ball joint to the lower control arm and remove the axle from the hub then put the ball joint back in the steering knuckle or reconnect the ball joint to lower control arm (just enough to hold it firmly but not torqued down) then use the sliding hammer to remove the hub. The axle could be left in place while pulling the hub if it is free to slide but you would still have to remove the axle either way in order to remove the old bearing and install the new bearing.

[@richardspaulding5035]

Thanks for the question Joseph, I apologize for taking so long to respond. When you are pressing out the bearing it will come out on the wheel side as if you are changing a tire. when you draw the bearing back in you will install it from the outside in as if you are putting the tire back on.

I have not had any issues in that regard. The treads on the jack screw have held up so far as ii have always kept it lubricated.

[@WhiTeaNdNeRDyreal]

Hub buster works better and if you have a welder you can make one pretty quickly. Slide hammer is better for pulling axle shafts. If you wanna pull hubs step up to a 10lbs or larger slide hammer. A really easy way to remove hubs is to use a cheap bottle jack or two. Thread the rotor onto the hub with the stud nuts, minus the wheel, and then just jack from the other side of the rotor. It'll push the hub out no sweat. Bottle jack is about $20 at harbor freight.

[@orbitaaltube]

I have to replace the backing plate on the front brakes on a Toyota. If I take off the hub and the race comes with it along with the hub is it possible to just press the hub and race back onto the original bearing or is the bearing toast once the race comes off with the hub. Bearing was only replaced last year so I know it's still good.

[@richardspaulding5035]

I believe some of those replacement backup plates come in 2 pieces making it un necessary to remove the hub. If you must remove the hub I would replace the bearing as the race and bearing are a sealed unit these days. Thanks for taking the time to place a comment and thanks for watching my channel.

[@richardspaulding5035]

It depends on the vehicle and how it is designed. The car in the video was a Nissan and that was the only way on that model it could be done. Other manufactures may design the component differently, so that it has to be pressed out from the front. So to answer your question both ways may be correct.

@@richardspaulding5035 thanks for the info. Hey have you seen that new hub buster tool yet? It knocks the bearing loose in one or two hits. Not sure if it'll work on every bearing but I'm going to try something similar to do my wife's Subaru. Thanks again 👍🏼

[@richardspaulding5035]

@@dans4270 I think I have seen it . If it is what I am thinking about it bolts on to the hub while still in the car. It has a square tube that sticks out about 10 inches or so then you hit down on it with a big hammer. I am sure it will work better than my slide hammer. I will get one. thanks dan

[@2012isRonPaul]

why did you take the arm off the car? you can use the same tool or an pulling hammer to get the hub off and then press everything back in with the same press, on the car itself... the only concern would be how to get the outer seal back on there, wihout leaving it out too much, so that it would not rub against the spinning hub later...

After a lot of years of using air chisels while getting a MRI I found out I had some metal in my right arm. Never felt a thing nor did it bleed...

[@richardspaulding5035]

That's scary Steve; I have used mine over the years but sparingly at best. However I was a machinist for a number of years. It is certainly something I will be mind full of going forward. Thanks!

[@richardspaulding5035]

@Meat Free. If they know you work with metal they usually do an x-ray to check for metal prior to the scan. At least they did with me when I told them I was a mechanic.

[@Steve0885]

@Meat Free. they couldn't do the MRI because it affected the machine

Why did you knock the hub out with a hammer? Isn’t that what that kit is for?

[@richardspaulding5035]

Thanks for the question. The short answer is that is how I've always done it and that's how I've always seen it done. I don't think it is possible to use the kit to press the hub out however next time I use the kit I am going to see if it can be done,

[@richardspaulding5035]

I was just looking at a new hub that I have in sock and I opened up the kit. The reason you cannot use the kit to press out the hub is because of the large flange on the hub. There is no adaptor in the kit that will fit over the flange. Thanks again for watching.

[@jpvill4th]

Instead of needing a vise to hold the knuckle you could have left it all attached to the car and used the tool to remove the bearing and hub together. The use a puller to remove the bearing. I would also keep the various bearing parts to use as pushers in the futur.

[@richardspaulding5035]

Thanks, I am aware the knuckle can be left in rhe car. In this instance I removed it for visual clarity. However that is a great tip about saving the old bearings.

I use a mini dreemel with a reinforced disk and cut a line almost through and then give it a hit with a chisel and it pops loose.

Isn't the point of the hub kit that you do not need to remove the knuckle from the car?

[@richardspaulding5035]

Thanks for the Question Alex. You are correct it is not necessary to remove the steering knuckle. In this instance I did it for visual clarity. Evidently, I failed to make that clear. I am going back in and edit my description as to mention that Thanks for Watching my channel.

so nice equiment

[@richardspaulding5035]

Thanks, most of the time purchasing a special tool so you can do a job yourself is far cheaper than going to a shop. Then you still have the tool. Even some of the simplest repairs these days approach $500 or more

[@BlackyBrownDestruction9337]

The kit doesn’t remove the hub like other kits

[@richardspaulding5035]

A hub puller is a separate tool all together

Just get a 20 ton Harbor Freight press. Also, your supposed to lube the threads on the threaded rod your using.
