Pressing a wheel bearing with a hydraulic press.

[@kefwals8722]

Not all bearing with abs have one metal side. There are ones with plastic on both sides. A small piece of metal will tell you which is the magnetic side and that will be where the abs sensor rides across

[@michaelovitch]

Yes, they sell a sort of card with iron powder in a transparent sheet wich reveal the magnetic track on the bearing's side.

Thanks for sharing this! At 4:23 you are tackling a common problem - the inner race almost always doesn't come off. You are using a cutting wheel on your angle grinder in order to vertically split the inner race, whereby it is hard to not cut into the hub (which you did, as is visible at 9:34). Here, I have used a different technique for some 40 years, which is safer: I use a grinding wheel on my angle grinder, tangetially grinding down the inner race (parallel to the hub's axis). It will show a crack, once it is ground down to about half a milllimeter, it comes off easily and the hub is unharmed, almost no hammering needed. I hope that makes sense.

[@michaelovitch]

Yes it makes sense,and thank you for the advice,i will try that We didn't damage this hub,the person before us did lol The bearings were replaced already on this car. however i damaged one once.

Very good video , i bought a 12 tonne press recently , well worth it

[@michaelovitch]

Thank you Yes, a press is really useful : )

[@markballenger513]

Hes got those skinny press plates on edge......needed that yesterday

[@michaelovitch]

You can buy them online for relatively cheap. There are a bunch of shapes,sizes and thickness. What did you work on ?

[@snells-window]

Excellent video. I need a press. Thank you Michael

[@neik1976]

Oh you moron there's no brain in General

[@canuckfixit7722]

What size press did you use? 10T, 12T?

[@michaelovitch]

It's a 20T but i never used it full pressure on a bearing. I bought this one because it's tall and you can slide the shaft on both sides in case you have a weird hub shape to press a bearing in.

[@cjskrome3228]

Très bonne vidéo. Jusqu'à combien de tonnes va votre presse hydraulique ?

[@michaelovitch]

Merci, 20 tonnes,mais ce n'est pas une absolue nécessité ,10 tonnes suffisent largement la plupart du temps. La place disponible pour poser les pièces à presser est souvent plus importante que la force qu'elle développe.

Great lesson,thank you

No sweat or tears but blood.

[@michaelovitch]

For sure,those bearing don't like to get hit.

When i press the bearing ?

[@eldodos83]

Peugeot 307 /308 ?

[@michaelovitch]

Peugeot 307 Good eye !

[@elmoz122]

$30 bucks saves you a lot of headache

[@michaelovitch]

I don't understand.

[@canuckfixit7722]

@@michaelovitch $30 for a shop to do this for you. Well, I'm in Canada and its more like $100. Do this two times and the press pays for itself.😏

[@michaelovitch]

@@canuckfixit7722 Yes,that's why i bought a press. I did a bunch of those and it paid "itself" already.

Salut super la vidéo et un gros pouce 👍👍👍👍👍

[@michaelovitch]

: ) Merci !

[@blackmesa27]

je pense qu'en laissant du liquide de frein ou du degrippant agir quelques jours ça aurait été carrément plus simple 😁

[@michaelovitch]

Oui,mais on avait que quelques heures... : )
