Jeep patriot rear wheel bearing (FWD)

[@125sm3]

Some nice editing with the before and after videos. Great job 👍

[@themechanic6117]

Thank you, I tried 👍

[@hulong0205]

I changed my front and rear wheel bearings on my 13 altima. Of course I was having all sorts of problems removing them since the car spent years in rust belt. I did some research on KZbin and lucily came across this "last chance hub removal" tool. Best tool I bought this year!

[@themechanic6117]

Nice! It's definitely worth it's price!

[@SteveRobReviews]

Nicey done , and done right Johnathan 👍

[@themechanic6117]

Thank you, this is the first time I've seen a rear wheel bearing cause the alignment to go out. It's baffling to me but it is what it is.

[@SteveRobReviews]

@@themechanic6117 Na you did nothing that could affect the steering.

[@WoLFSkYBLuE69]

And I've always used a nut and bolt but finding the right one is always a chore, I'll definitely be picking up that Astro set. Thx for the product information.👍

[@themechanic6117]

You're welcome. It saves a bunch of time of not having to look for something that will work. I've been there and done that lol

[@WoLFSkYBLuE69]

@@themechanic6117 I hear you there. Thx again.

[@Ramonwise716]

Great video. It works

[@WoLFSkYBLuE69]

Yep Coast head lamps are great! I have several of them.

[@themechanic6117]

I'm glad I made the switch

[@davidcontreras4363]

Thanks for the video, need to change mine also. Klein has some great headlamps also recommend the 400-600 lumens. 800 dies quick, and yes had the same experience with my Milwaukee headlamps and batteries

[@mikeydejon2148]

Dude thank you for this video gonna order my set now 👍 I couldn’t get mine off backing plate

[@themechanic6117]

It can be a pain in the butt. Good luck 👍

[@mikeydejon2148]

I still haven't got my bolts in. I try a torch wd40 a hammer drill . Lmao nothing I hope these bolts work on mine. I thought about just changing everything but I cant get emergency brake cable out of back of housing

[@themechanic6117]

I hope you get it fixed , good luck

[@mikeydejon2148]

Follow up the bolts worked perfectly thanks again for video 🫡

[@themechanic6117]

Nice! Good to hear 👍

[@BruceLyeg]

Nice job. I expect to be seeing more of that thing

[@themechanic6117]

Who knows , owner wasn't very happy about needing a wheel alignment now.

[@BruceLyeg]

😅

[@xxxqqq]

For headlamps and flashlights, I recommand Fenix, it is a top brand, like Milwaukee in tools.

[@themechanic6117]

Never heard of that brand, thanks for the info

[@rogerj.fugere3570]

Well presented video. I got my Patriot when my dad passed and the rear bearings are howling on the highway. (He was hard of hearing) I may need that astro tool set.

[@mcef9117]

Jiffy lube is always scary lol Nice job!

[@themechanic6117]

Definitely 🤣👍

[@johnkeo358]

What's the torque spec?

[@burgertowngarage]

I'm over here still trying to figure out how a rear wheel bearing replacement caused an alignment issue, unless the brake was dragging so hard it was pulling the car to one side. Any idea what actually caused that? Similar thing happened on my BMW but I sold that thing a month ago.

[@themechanic6117]

The brakes definitely weren't dragging. I'm still baffled how the alignment got thrown off. Doesn't make sense to me

[@burgertowngarage]

That's bizarre. Definitely update if you figure it out down the line

[@eriknobles3946]

I did the same job on a Dodge Caliber and the bearing was jamed up with the backing plate

[@themechanic6117]

Yeah that's happened to me also. That's where the two forcing screws really help 👍

[@eriknobles3946]

@@themechanic6117 by watching your video now I know what to do if I’m going in that situation in the future

[@redeye1773]

the wheel is to the left because the rear rifht bearing is draging always replace both sides

Name on car that has zero faults. Everything is designed to fail. It's how those companies drain you. It's called the perfect product design.

all good just dont re thread lug nuts in future saftey first make em pay

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

I don't understand why, but I guess it's just lost knowledge? All of the KZbin Mechanics & DIYer"s, I never see anyone greasing (not anti-seize) wheel lug bolts. Maybe it's a misconception- that the wheel will come off? The *_chamfer_* is what keeps the lugnut torqued, not he threads. I see people removing rusty, dangerous, over torqued lugs and I cringe. I guess it's just one of those "collective stupidity of the Internet" things; If people don't see someone "famous" do something, then it's fake, wrong, etc. A light application, wipe off lightly. Just enough to stave off the rust.

[@mygolfballsannoy]

I never grease them. But im so cal so no rust

[@themechanic6117]

I'll admit that I'm afraid of of them "backing off" 🤣 . I've been putting on lug nuts dry for years and never had a wheel fly off , I'll stick to what I know works.

[@davidquinn6161]

Misconception ? No it''s a manufacturers statement . GM owners manual " WARNING Never use oil or grease on bolts or nuts because the the nuts might come loose. The vehicle's wheel could fall off, causing a crash ". Seen the same statement in Ford, Toyota and Nissan owner's manuals. So 4 of the world's largest car manufacturers say don't do it. Some guy on KZbin says that's a misconception.. Who to believe ? Hmmm.

[@spelunkerd]

I was on the side of putting antiseize onto lug nuts, until I had a couple back off on me. On my old Lexus, twice when I swapped summer for winter tires, I found there were only four nuts holding a wheel on, two nuts were completely lost. On another occasion a wheel was making a strange sound and I pulled over to find all the nuts were a little loose. I'm certain I torqued all the nuts with a torque wrench, and I didn't forget one. However I didn't drive the vehicle and retorque a day or so later. That could make a difference if the wheel is a little off center and not square on the hub. I double checked to be sure the nuts were the correct shape for both summer and winter wheels, they were. And I routinely clean the hub and wheel to be sure there is no debris where contact is made. You make a good point, it is the contact of the nut with the outer wheel, not the threads that makes them sometimes difficult to remove. Antiseize to threads won't do much for that! After those anecdotal experiences, I will never put antiseize onto lug bolts. Since then, after 5 more years, no misadventures at all.

[@oldskool1979]

My bro in law had this car... total POS.

[@themechanic6117]

I can agree with that lol, it's a chrysler product 🤣

[@PH-md8xp]

My daughter has one of these 2016 Patriots, so far it’s been trouble free, but it only has 34,000 miles on it. I am concerned that it’s going to start falling apart pretty soon because it really felt like a piece of junk the day we bought it new. It’s never been driven in the rust belt, so maybe it will do ok. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

[@MattBiskup]

⁠@@PH-md8xpI’ve got 168,000 miles on my 2014 Sport with the 2.0 liter engine and the 6F24 6 speed automatic transmission. It’s the CVT version of the transmission in some of the Patriots that is the source of trouble from what I can gather. I’ve learned that it likes clean oil or the oil control solenoids clog, not hard to clean. I’ve done brakes, coils and spark plugs, now wheel bearings in the rear. And did the transmission oil change in the “sealed for life” transmission. This thing will not die. I hope you have as good luck with yours as I have with mine.
