I found my socket set are used more often for bearing pressing with a heavy duty C clamp as a press and my old brake drum as a working platform. But that only worked for the small bearings on my power tools. For bigger bearings on my commercial van, I do need the set of bearing press and the engineering vice demonstrated in this video.

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.

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

Hey Richard, thanks again for the video. I’m pressing out a bearing on a different car from last time. Which way does the bearing pop out on the knuckle? The hub side?

[@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.

[@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.

Do the threads hold up to the pressure required to remove bearings in the rust belt. Some of them get quite stuck and a torch is required with a press.

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. Keep in mind this kit was not made for everyday use such as it would be used in a regular repair shop. It is designed for occasional use only by a DIY driveway mechanic and is priced accordingly.

Good content. I would recommend you using a puller instead of destroying your impact socket with a hammer. When using a bearing press, I'd recommend to put some lube on the both sides of the washer and the threads of the press rod. Just a thought. Keep up the great work!

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.

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.

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.

For that price you would be getting the 6-ton press. Even if a 6-ton press were strong enough as I don't think it is. The kit adaptors would still be very helpful.

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.

🙏 buddy got mine in today

[@richardspaulding5035]

Good luck; let me know how you like it. Remember to keep the jack screw lubricated and do not use any power tools to turn it.

[@julianarodriguez3635]

Where did you get your bearing tool kit from

[@richardspaulding5035]

Thanks for the question: It is the ATD 8625 kit. You can order it on eBay. I just looked a few minutes ago. The best offering was 78 dollars free shipping. Thanks for watching my channel.

[@julianarodriguez3635]

@@richardspaulding5035 thanks bro

[@douglaswells2739]

I recommend oiling the long bolt and use some PB Blaster sprayed into the bearing as you remove it. Much easier.

[@oliverrojas7117]

Thanks for the tip

[@richardspaulding5035]

Sorry i did not reply sooner, i will try that next time, thanks for the advice.

[@armoricain]

I was thinking the same thing as he was struggling turning that thing... grease will work too. I think it was an excellent how-to video.

[@demikitteraffegamers3493]

use moly lube, arp or lunati, isky cam lube is near perfect. coat the bearing with it going in is great

[@richardspaulding5035]

@@demikitteraffegamers3493 Thanks for the information. As you saw on the video I really had to work for it. I am sure the lubrication will be of help next time..

The kit doesn’t remove the hub like other kits

[@richardspaulding5035]

A hub puller is a separate tool all together

Use a torch to remove the race. No need to remove the knuckle. Air gun works within 20 seconds with little effort

[@richardspaulding5035]

Thanks for the advice. I had the knuckle out for visual clarity. I should have made that clear in the video.

[@romcallis]

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.

[@MyrealTalk-s7t]

I also have this same kit , I would not recommend it! It needs a third middle step disc to fit my Japanese car ( Acura) . I would opt for more piece kit with more step spacers or discs!

[@richardspaulding5035]

You need not say any more, Acura is not your everyday Japanese car. I have used the kit on a number of Japanese & American vehicles with no difficulty. Of course you would need specialized tools for an Acura. (Honda) Makers of Acura are designed a lot differently than most cars. You need look no further than that ridicules wishbone suspension and that the ball joint is pressed into the steering knuckle instead of the lower control arm.

[@MyrealTalk-s7t]

@@richardspaulding5035 Lol yeah I didn’t really have a big problem, just on installation! I have Rdx so I need two 995-16 for both sides to push and hold against back of knuckle!
