Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement on Mazda 3 and Mazda 5 2004-2013

[@jeffersonfreed2716]

Thanks for this video. I just did this job today on my 2010 Mazda 3 S. Mine has ABS, and the ABS sensor was attached with a odd little star shaped bolt, probably E-torx, but I'm not super familiar with those. I was able to easy remove it with a regular 5mm combination wrench. Also, on my car, the bearing hub assembly was held together with a regular socket bolt, so I didn't even need the big Torx bits you used. And yes, it's possible to remove the entire brake caliper/bracket if you want to save time and you're planning to re-use your same brakes. Just be prepared to use a beefy 14mm combo wrench, because on my model, a brake line runs right over the one bolt, prohibiting a standard socket wrench. Thanks again for the help!

Thank you as well for the great extra info!!!

[@petermiller8634]

Excellent tutorial with good verbal descriptions during the operation 👍👍

[@motorcarnut]

Thank you, appreciate the feedback!

[@jmspeedmedia]

Easy. Good video man. I need to do my rear-end now. I just did my front end, that was more complicated. I didn't remove the brake pads just remove the whole caliper and brackets lol:) and slide everything back on.

[@motorcarnut]

Great and thank you for sharing and the comment

[@andrewadams9819]

Indeed more complicated lmao

[@terminalfx]

Good note on the offset holes when mating it with the dust shield. Came across this vid to make sure I wasn't going crazy 🤣

[@motorcarnut]

Lol, no problem

[@fubarace1027]

Thank you for the detailed video, going to do the job next weekend I think on an 09 mazda3. I'll let ya'll know if I hit any snags.

[@motorcarnut]

No problem! And good luck

[@ginsadventures1747]

Thank you very much for this video. Helped me so much

[@motorcarnut]

Glad to hear it! Thank you for the feedback!

[@ryantalaue]

Sir i have a mazda 3 2008 2.0 i need to replace the rear axle bearing. after replacing it do i nid to do wheel alignment?. thanks!

[@motorcarnut]

No

[@homestylegravy]

If you have ABS brakes and get the wheel hub from AutoZone, it doesn't come with the ABS sensor. You have to take the sensor off the old hub and screw it onto the new one. It has a weird inverse torque head (E5 I think), but I got it with a 6 mm socket.

[@motorcarnut]

Most come with the abs sensors and if vehicle doesn’t have it, it can still be used. Didn’t know about AutoZone thanks for that extra information maybe can help others!

[@MLef111]

Great video, thx. How much foot pound do you torque the wheel bearing hub ?

[@motorcarnut]

48 ft lbs

[@trentsawatzky2928]

Are the rear hub assemblies left and right oriented, or are they universal fit for left and right

[@motorcarnut]

Universal, the only thing you have to make sure of is if you have ABS or not.

[@christophermcbride1133]

Tyvm. Appreciate you brother.

[@motorcarnut]

Very welcome! You as well!

[@Toaster_Tier5]

great video thank you!

[@motorcarnut]

Thanks for the reply

[@ANT3L]

What is the brake dust bolt size? Don’t now anything about bolt sizes, getting my Wheel bearing and brake dust changed tomorrow….what bolt size should I buy?

[@motorcarnut]

What do you mean brake dust boot? The calliper bolts? If so there a torx T45

[@NicDaddy1]

What’d you do to get the piston on the brake caliper to come back out? Just pump the brakes like normal and it unscrews itself?

[@ryantalaue]

is that a hub type bearing just new car owner.. thnks

[@motorcarnut]

Yes

[@danilke8439]

I have a 2010 mazda 5 , should i order wheel bearings with ABS sensor or without ?

[@motorcarnut]

If your vehicle has ABS then you have to order one with it, if yours doesn't have ABS then either one is fine.

[@christinelabrie1430]

The 4 bolts T50 are stuck, any suggestions to get them off??

[@motorcarnut]

Heat, but be careful

[@rafaellara4122]

Thanks for the video bud

[@motorcarnut]

No problem

[@gurs5804]

Where can I find the torque specifications for mazda 5 2010, I cant find them anywhere? The ones I find are says 170 foot pound And my wrench is inch pound with a range max 960. If I convert 170 ft pound to inch pound its around 2000 inch pound ? Also I want to know the torque on T50 screws for wheel hub assembly Brake bracket Capilar pins Lugnuts. Where will I find them ?

[@motorcarnut]

Alldata diy online $20 a month or your local library online Free should have decent repair info as well. I'm not local now or I would send them.

[@jorgecazares1219]

What's the torque spec?

[@motorcarnut]

The rear hub assembly is 50 ft lbs

[@robobunch4212]

I noticed the new hub has the abs port. Does it matter? I ask bc I just bought a hub yesterday and the non-abs was $20 more.

[@motorcarnut]

No, as long as your car doesn’t have abs

[@garvinboloking45]

Can you show one with the 4wd mazda 5?

[@motorcarnut]

I don’t have one right now to show, it’s similar except for the axle nut that has to be removed.

[@autograph415]

is this similar fora cx-5

[@motorcarnut]

Should be

[@autograph415]

@@motorcarnut I've got a question mlt sure if you can help or not, so my mazda cx5 i think is a wheel bearing but not entirely sure, it sounds more like a whistling on the passenger side more then a growling, could that still be a bearing

[@motorcarnut]

Yes

[@xXNightsWatchXx]

Only comment would be you can just pull the entire caliper off with 2 bolts and then slide it out

[@motorcarnut]

True, but it’s a little bulkier that way, but yes.

[@duranl24]

Would this cause the car to shake when going 50-55 mph?

[@motorcarnut]

Not really, unless it was getting ready to fall off.

[@duranl24]

@Motorcarnut Ok, thank you!

[@motorcarnut]

@duranl24 no problem

[@mindiseverything5036]

The fronts are not assemblies like this right? It's like a press bearing style

[@motorcarnut]

Correct

[@AlanJOrtiz]

Thank you for this video

[@motorcarnut]

[@user-zm1nb4mn2r]

[@motorcarnut]

[@kennedyboodoo8151]
