HYUNDAI SONATA WHEEL BEARING REPLACEMENT - How to Replace Front Wheel Bearings on a Hyundai Sonata

[@jerometruitt2731]

You left out the most important part which is the ACTUAL removal and install of the bearing. 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@jpvill4th]

You go to a grocery store and buy a couple of pounds of dry ice. put the dry ice in the bearing and around the knuckle and wrap lots of newspaper or whatever you have. Wait about twenty minutes to 30 minutes. You should be able to knock it apart with a rubber or plastic mallet and brass or hardwood punches. Put new bearing in dry ice and the hub. After about 20 minutes, using leather gloves, the hub should slide into the bearing. Keep it in the dry ice and you will be able to slide the assembly into the knuckle.

You just saved me 300 bucks thank you

[@oscarpatino9164]

Super helpful! Very good at explaining. Thanks !!

[@fixinit]

Thanks for watching! 😎

[@simchou7828]

Very interesting and informative. Thank you

[@jakecurrier5165]

So u dont need a hub puller?

[@tomthomas9317]

You obviously do your own work. You should get a 12-ton press from Harbor Freight for about $120 after the discount. I'm sure you'd get plenty of use out of it. If you did two wheels it's paid for itself. When you look at it that way $50 is pricey to pay someone to press out a bearing. Great video though!

[@fixinit]

Yeah I thought about that. Just gotta find room in the garage for a press. Thanks for watching! 😎

[@TheWickedFast1]

or he could buy the whell bearing press

[@steveh4252]

Great video! Thanks

[@teesmith7428]

After you banged it what part was that that swung away?

[@fixinit]

Tie Rod

[@timlaine6268]

Can you get the axle nut off with a breaker bar?

[@fixinit]

Yes. After you take off the wheel, have someone step on the brakes as you break loose the axle nut.

[@5617steve]

Do you have to do a realignment after you finish?

[@fixinit]

No

[@bsheets5888]

So wait you hammered the bearing out then the new one in?

[@fixinit]

Bearings get pressed in and out

[@tommydifiore2265]

That was impressive. Can you buy that part with the new bearing in it? If so what would it be called? If anyone knows. If not its cool.. Wheel hub?

[@fixinit]

Yes. It’s called a knuckle hub bearing assembly and cost about $250 per side.

[@Faris3972]

I love your optimistic manner of the handcraft

[@yohannisargaw320]

Great job thank you !!!

[@GotCMilk]

I was really hoping my bearings weren’t going to be press in.

[@rickallen6378]

That's a lot of work for a wheel bearing.

[@jewwinfrey6460]

Shoulda showed how they got the bearing out… smfh

[@cowboypatriot1200]

Came to see how to replace a wheel bearing and doesn't show how to replace the wheel bearing.......WTF !!! 👎

[@762531971]

Apparently you watched a different video, he replaced the wheel bearing, you missed how he took it to a shop to remove the bearing and press the new bearing in. Please understand what you are saying does not make since if you watched the video

[@joesmith6524]

$50 bucks nothing man,shops want like 400/500 for one side!!!

[@hanhgfg]

Damn all that just to remove wheel bearing, Hyundai engineering at its best 🤣🤣🤣

[@MrJeremys2388]

Most makes are the same concept actually

[@TheWickedFast1]

no sir, he didn't replace the bearing, he took the spindle off

[@6atlantis]

@@TheWickedFast1 he took it up the street to the shop with a press so yeah he did replace it.

[@jetmech1083]

You should see the mess doing the rear brakes on the '13 Sonata. Damn engineers could've fixed the issue, but nooooo. There's a video on YT where I learned of this little flim flam.

[@jamesabarela]

I'm going to start making my own how to videos, and I will show real time, real world DIY jobs. All these videos online cut to the chase and it makes everything seem so simple so your like cool I could do that job then you get to the first frozen on stuck bolt and spend days and days and different ways trying to to remove it before its destroyed costing you more money and spend another long time drilling out the pieces. Because I guarantee, it's not this easy and yes I have all the proper tools and nothing will work meanwhile my studs are all stripped and cross threaded from removing and replacing the tires after attempt after attempt, it's just a joke I will take the damn car and pay to have it done my personal opinion.

[@pendy70]

Good video. Very detailed and helpful. Thanks

[@dee22212]

Can you do my car? Change the axles? LMK price

[@nayrzepol1592]

Thanks for the video man.

[@megat8989]

why do cars in the US are very rusty?

[@fixinit]

Cars in the north have to deal with road salt to melt snow and ice in the winter. That stuff contributes to the rust on cars.

[@youtubesque]

is it same method for the Ioniq?

[@fixinit]

Should be about the same
