Suzuki SX4 AWD Rear Wheel Hub / Bearing Replacement

2WD assembly P/N is completely different. Replacement process is very similar.

Thank you, just changed out both on my 2011. 175k and still going.

Very well produced video. Great lighting and editing. No wasted time.

[@TheGibby3340]

Thank you Sir. And thanks for watching 🍻

Cheers at the beginning for me, been fixing my sx4 14yrs now. Love this car

[@TheGibby3340]

Nice. Must have owned it from new/newish... Great car. Arguably just before things became overly complex with no real gains in functionally. Thx for watching 🍺

[@spinb]

Nothing more satisfying than justifying the purchase of tools than by using them to fix your own stuff. Well done.

[@TheGibby3340]

Completely agree. If I am honest, I do break that rule on a rare occasion 🤣 Cheers 👍

[@zmanvideo1]

another great Suzuki SX4 repair video!! Thank you!!

[@TheGibby3340]

Thank you Sir. Appreciate you taking the time to watch. Cheers 👍

[@tombroadus6761]

I just did the job on a 08 sx4 went exactly like video minus the 4 bolts were very hard to get out. Great video !

Thx & Thx for watching 🍻

I have 265k on my sx4. I’ve done the rear bearings prob 8 times. Recently pressed in new fronts. Love this car so much

[@TheGibby3340]

I have made the mistake of buying cheap bearings in the past. I had one wheel speed sensor fail inside 10 thousand kilometres on one. Timken and SKF manufacturer a quality product. Thx for watching 🍻

[@Spectrum_Auto_Spa]

@@TheGibby3340 you ever do a video on how to adjust an automatic shift cable? I have to start my Suzuki in neutral. It def needs a new shift bushing. Unfortunately the only way to get a new bushing is to replace the entire cable

[@TheGibby3340]

@@Spectrum_Auto_Spa Both my SX4’s are stick. There is a video on the channel on stiff shifter…just a matter of bushings lubrication at the input linkage, top side at the box. Thx again.

[@Spectrum_Auto_Spa]

@@TheGibby3340 oh man i wish mine was stick. Cheers bud!

Thanks for great video. I don't need to change mine yet but it will come in handle in the future

Appreciated. Thx for watching 🍻

Freaking brilliant! No words needed. My Sambas got worn out and I tossed 'em. Ok if I wear my Converse One Stars?

[@TheGibby3340]

🤣 Yeah…Converse should work just fine. Thx for watching 🍻

Great work

[@TheGibby3340]

Thx Boss 👍

[@mufnkiller808]

is there any way to change that rear abs sensor without doing the hub and bearing? there is no videos anywhere that i can find.

[@TheGibby3340]

Front wheel drive or AWD model?

[@davesterl]

jaysus, that oul yin must've bin screamin' for ages

[@TheGibby3340]

Ok,ok…Maybe a wee while. 😬

[@davidlondon3111]

Nice job! You managed to do it without a word - nice challenge you set yourself there. Would it be a good idea to do the one on the other side or wait for it to misbehave?

[@TheGibby3340]

Yeah admittedly I talk too much sometimes. No real point in stating the obvious…Did the other side with a Timken bearing not too long ago. Hopefully good for a wee while yet. Thx for watching. 🍻

[@evanderuyter7759]

What is the size of the axle nut? I have new hub assembly to install but no axle nuts

[@TheGibby3340]

Dunno. SGP P/N is detailed in the video. You can always measure the diameter and thread pitch. Reasonable certainty it’s metric.

[@danmorrison9712]

Great Video. I have to do this on my SX4 soon. Last time I did it, the 4 bolts that hold the hub on were pretty rusted-out. I want to replace them this time around, do you happen to know what size they are? I know they need to be grade 8 as well... Can't find it anywhere online! Thanks!

[@TheGibby3340]

Honestly IDK…I reused mine as you can see. Google Suzuki Genuine Parts sales. You might find a local supplier. I am lucky enough to have one reasonably close. Thx for watching 🍻

[@danmorrison9712]

@@TheGibby3340 Thanks for the tip, I'll do that!

[@joergarms1]

Great job! Where did you get the datasheet?

[@TheGibby3340]

Thx. You can purchase a PDF copy of the workshop manual online. Very reasonable.

[@jameslewis9968]

Not sure why, but my wheel doesn't come off after removing all 5 lug nuts. I drive a 2011 with FWD.

[@TheGibby3340]

It happens all the time…Corrosion will bond the hub to the wheel. Anti seize the hub (not the stud threads) to prevent reoccurrence.

[@jameslewis9968]

@@TheGibby3340 i appreciate your quick response. I figured that out and its very common on this car. Never seen anything like it. I took a rubber hammer and kept smacking the rim. Wasn't much effort either. Thanks

[@tomruotsalainen5909]

Axel nut torque?

[@TheGibby3340]

At the very start. 0:20.
