[@rizkybiss]

Man you made that look so easy! I'm going to try it at home and F it up! 👍

[@arebonbali2089]

good job and honest. because some other mechanics will charge 2 or 3 hours job. like robbery. Thank you for nice video bud.

[@m998hmmwv7]

Good video. Straight to the point.

I;M DOWN LOADING THIS VIDEO THIS IS GOOD STUFF

[@KL-pq2sl]

2008 Hummer H3 - 36mm too loose had to go to a 35mm socket (Correct snug fit ). You would have to remove the surface rust from the nut and gently tap it in.

You help me a lot with your video man !!!!! Let see if I can do it to !!!!!

Love the video, thanks for posting

[@kakarot2918]

Good job. Thank you very much

[@NewRoad]

Good job! I know it's hard to work on something and film it

[@uglyhp8225]

yea but i feel like im getting better what makes it hard is when theres customers around because they wanna talk

[@tomfrantz]

Thank you,

[@davehaag8175]

Thank you for this!!!

[@timokuusela5794]

35mm socket may fit if worn or stretched(or with a sledgehammer), but the actual size in my H3 is 36mm(as a metric standard), and preferably a long socket, as the axle head bottoms inside the shallow socket and may slip.

[@rogerdarbhan5505]

great help. Do you have torque the nuts?

[@sapphirejan2040]

Thanks for the video. I just had the dealership call me and tell me that my right front hub is loose so this allowed me to actually see the job that is about to cost me $608.14.

[@uglyhp8225]

if you stay away from the dealership and go to a mom and pops place that has a good reputation you would probably save a couple hundred

[@uglyhp8225]

for me to do that job with good quality parts only come out to 320

[@831klanforc]

I'll do it for 100 u buy Pat's that's about $250 all together or less

Have two cameras on tripods so you get different angles to edit.

[@richardhargis420]

What wrench are you using. I just did this and had a heck of a time getting those bolts loose. thanks for the video it is great.

[@uglyhp8225]

15mm they are on tight because they come from the factory with thread locker but those wrenches are extra long for more leverage but dont worry i have yet to see one of them break

[@omidebadi9099]

is it doable to install locking hubs there?

[@MussieTekie]

Thank You

[@MrCrf450rider]

good video.I'm doing mine today

[@uglyhp8225]

hey i try lol but you wont have issues these things are so easy and thanks for the comment

[@MrCrf450rider]

ugly HP Actually it was easy,except for getting the hubs out of the slots.had to use an air chisel behind them

[@MsMastermechanic]

Okay so I agree and disagree with some of the comments here. It has been my experience that while some torque specs are in fact obsolete others matter. In the case of bearings torque spec is very important “ most home don’t have a torque wrench “ if you don’t have the correct tools then you probably shouldn’t be doing the job.. torque on a bearing has a variance based on end play.. so say the beginning range is 150ftlbs and ends with 176ftlbs you should start at the least torque and then check the end play .02-.05 should be the acceptable range. But with the H3 not having a castle nut or a smash nut this takes out the worry of end play of the bearing so yes while the gun he is using is set to somewhere between 1-4 he did do the job correctly, but should have told the correct specs while making the video.. I’m a mechanic by trade and not ASE certified. I work in the trucking industry. All my knowledge has been passed down thru the ages.. no pedigrees needed..😂

[@buttercupG19]

They ABSOLUTELY matter, millions of dollars are spent on the details of bolt size, grade of bolts and torque required. That hub bearing is what YOU are staking your life on, sir.

[@mistermasada1829]

After the hub was removed, could the axle be pulled as well? Going to replace both hubs on my 06 H3 and the CV axles need replaced as well.

[@uglyhp8225]

some hub assemblies when removed the axle will fit the hole but not always only one way to find out tho but im pretty sure you will have to pop the top ball joint and the tie rod end and bring it out the side

[@ericr.knapik5563]

So what are the torque specs? Specifically on the three 15mm bolts, and the 35mm axle nut? I have to do this this weekend...

[@uglyhp8225]

the hub to the spindal is 133 ft lbs and the axle nut is 173 ft lbs

[@giovannygonzalez7911]

Have a 2006 h3 could it be the hub assembly when turning feel like it brakes. Then when press gas feel like it hops bought a new cv axle and only lasted 3 days any ideas

[@uglyhp8225]

possible if its that bad tho you would be able to feel it when you spin it by hand

[@beurownboss1554]

Hey did you end up figuring out what caused your “hop” feel? I have the same on my driver side and about to do the wheel bearings next. Thanks

[@johnrambo3935]

Lucky guy

[@maykelelmango]

Good jod tanks

[@gamerclownz2783]

is 35mm the right size for the axle nut? I tried googling and everyone seems to say its 36mm.

[@uglyhp8225]

yes

[@gamerclownz2783]

ugly HP thanks. I need to change the bearing on my wife's h3 so ended up ordering both sizes over the weekend so it gets here on time. I'll just return the other one. Do you suppose I really need the torque wrench for this or can I just muscle them on like I usually do with everything else?

[@juanescutia8944]

I can't get the damn hub off. It feels like it's pressed in. You just pull it off with ease .. any ideas ?

[@uglyhp8225]

beat a prybar in between it and the spindal or if you can access it from behind beat it outward sometimes i have to fight them and it can use up some time

[@kraybrother8768]

Do you use the same axle nut or do you have to get a new one?

[@uglyhp8225]

you can use the old one

[@kraybrother8768]

ugly HP ok thanks

[@antonioreyes2382]

How can you tell if you have a bad hub? Or a bearing? When driving my h3 I feel a vibration when turning on the freeway to the left, but not to the right.. I thought it was just my big stupid tires, but I am not sure. Anyone elaborate for me?

[@uglyhp8225]

you will get a loud hum but also if you lift the vehicle up you get play in the wheel side to side and up and down if you only get side to side and no up and down you have play in the steering if you have up and down and no side to side then you have bad ball joints

[@OakieBen]

What was that tool you used to push the axel out

[@OakieBen]

Air hammer?

[@uglyhp8225]

thats just a air hammer with a straight punch tip

[@DoneSonjaMiguel]

No Never Seize??

[@daleferguson80]

why were you changing these? I have a h3 with a thumping noise. got brand new tires, and breaks. checked for play in bearings and bushings but was none. mayb going bad but not to the point of being able to move unless driving?

[@uglyhp8225]

we changed it because it made a humming noise when we was driving down the road if it best was to find weird noises like that is to get someone to bounce on the bumper while another person is pin pointing under the vehicle

[@daleferguson80]

+ugly HP I guess it could be considered a humming noise. there's a video of the noise here on KZbin but no definitive answers on the post. I found a pair of bearings reasonably priced they'll be here today going to swap them out and hope this fixes it. thanks for the response and the video tutorial :)

[@uglyhp8225]

when you pull the bearing out you will be able to rotate it in your hand and feel roughness if it spins smooth then it wasnt the issue

[@jessepulido7179]

Check the bushing on the front differential mounting brace it goes bad often and makes thumping sound

[@waynehutchinson1423]

Thanks .l have a thumping noise.l will chek this out before running out and buying a hub bearing.

[@bryanleverett2830]

I’m with on not wasting time “torquing to spec” all that. You can feel where 15mm’s need to be. And the hub needs to be really tight. Anyway. I would say to throw some antiseize or moly on the axle splines and where the hub sits in the knuckle. FYI someone quoted my mother in law $1,000 to do this job lol. I’m just here for the tool list. I think the fact you just replaced the axle, and that made it slide on and off really easy is a bit miss leading vs what people are gonna find. I’m in Florida, so I don’t expect issues without snow here.

[@uglyhp8225]

we are out of fl also but half our customers are snow birds

[@bryanleverett2830]

That’s true. Def might wanna put some black moly on everything then.

[@m998hmmwv7]

That bearing practically fell out on its own.. Hmmm lmfao

[@jeffusrangerairborne9061]

I think when he Worked on the Axel the First Time, and Knowing the guy was coming Back for the Bearing Job Later. this Guy had to Have Worked on getting that bearing out before this Video. mind were damn near Part of the Spindle ( those GM Car Builders Don't Believe in Anti-seize. That Hub just fell Right out.

[@NeilKudro]

How much does this job cost? Thanks

[@uglyhp8225]

250.00 here

[@NeilKudro]

I just dropped my H3 at our local Chevy Dealership Service department. I hope they find exactly what the issue is, and I hope its not more than $300. They told me they will contact me before the do any repairs. So I will keep you posted. Thanks so much bro.

Hi... My hummer h3, 2008, when I turn ac thermostat on the dashboard to a level less than (max) it will be hot directly, that means only can do on max, any answer from anybody please, how to solve this issue?

Did you ever figure this out? I have the same problem.

[@jaredeaton2211]

Not one bolt torqued to spec, INCLUDING AXLE NUT. Its obviously not your first rodeo but dont make videos showing people backyard practices.

[@uglyhp8225]

not every home has a torque wrench and if people said oh ill go buy one from the parts store the chance the cheap torque wrench they bought wont even be close to accurate this is a diy channel this isnt eric the car guy stop trying to troll something that you dont know the full details on my gun if you know anything has 4 settings and i can adjust it to what im working on and fyi i didnt torque the wheel down either now go cry to hiliary

[@jaredeaton2211]

haha Im not trolling. I dont usually comment on videos.I was looking at h3 videos, for some reason this popped up. If you came into my shop and did this you would be gone. But then again I only hire ASE techs that know how to properly do things. People dont take your cars to this guy. btw i voted for trump and your beard is a fucking disgrace to this country.

[@uglyhp8225]

ha im ase 1st off and second if you work around anyone ase thats a veteran even they only torque the important stuff you gotta remeber toque specs are like laws there just guidlines everyone breaks the law everyday there just small laws but the more serious laws like murder you dont break same with torque specs theres a torque spec for every nut and bolt on a car but you dont see a mechanic using a torque wrench on every single nut and bolt just the important ones so if i wasnt sure my gun wasnt close to spot on since it is a sealed bearing maybe a different route would have been used but thanks for the dumbass comment it has made my day enjoyable

[@OakieBen]

I'll also be watching your videos to learn how to do things and then correct your methods haha 😂
