SX4 Front Wheel Bearings No Press

[@MrFreshchico]

You made this look easy and all by hand when you had to pull out the old one, no impact drill .. cheers mate. Thanks to you I might be tempted to try this myself if ever needed.. thank you sir!

[@TheGibby3340]

Yeah it’s not too bad. Thx for watching. Cheers 👍

So i just did this job exactly the same way, same bearing and I think putting my bearing in the freezer cause the inner race to pop out when i pressed it in. Never seem that before. I pressed the oute race with the same tool, same cups you used and the inner race popped out. Luckily i had another bearing of lesser quality so i installed that one just fine. I also had to use a torch to heat the knuckle since the bearing was royally seized and ended up ruining my wheel speed sensor! The joys of car mechanics… anyways great video

[@TheGibby3340]

Yeah it can be very frustrating at times. I have destroyed a lot of stuff over the years. Experience is never free. Thx for watching 🍻

I'm a bit disappointed the dishwasher wasn't used as well 😊

[@TheGibby3340]

Next time 🤣 Cheers Iain 👍

[@vwt5touringscotland453]

You made that look easy, top work 👍🍺

[@TheGibby3340]

Thx Ian. It’s pretty straight forward 🍻

Well presented and informative video. Though my speakers where defective, has some one complained about your accent. Perhaps you should have a drink of Bushmills whiskey to help get your voice back.

[@TheGibby3340]

Thanks so much. No not at all. Although admittedly it is a weird nasally mashup of Scottish & Canadian 🤣 Just give people a break from my ramblings once in awhile 😬 Thx again Cheers 👍

I am about to replace the bearing in my sx4. Can I reuse the axle nut?

[@TheGibby3340]

The manual states it’s not to be reused. 🤷‍♂️ The front axle nuts are readily available from online retailers at reasonable expense. Thx for watching. 🍻

[@bleebleblahble8833]

Nice work. From one rusty place to another have you ever had the axle get stuck in the hub. Any tips? Looks like this one came out easy-ish

[@TheGibby3340]

Thx. And yes…The same puller that pulls the hub early in the video with the slide hammer, can be used with a forcing screw to press. That usually works. Failing that heat it and beat it 🤣 with the old axle nut still on (to protect the threads) just loosened a few threads for travel. Cheers 👍

[@wessondurant1988]

Hey man I always watch your repairs on the sx4 and you've helped me a lot. I knew nothing about cars but slowly getting there repairing my sx4 slowly but surely. I need some advice, I've just replaced the front left wheel hub knuckle, but I've noticed that the wheel is sitting diagonal on the vehicle, the part I used look identical and fitted perfectly. But it still didn't sit well ? I checked the numbers of the knuckle and the numbers don't match? Is that the issue, or do I need to get a wheel alignment done

[@TheGibby3340]

Thanks. Not sure if you a referring to diagonal on the vertical (camber) or horizontal (toe) plane…Camber is primarily a function of the two bolts (through holes can be slotted) that attach to the strut. But I suspect you are referring to toe, normally adjusted via the tie rod end (altering rod length). Attach components, strut and lower control arm and structure must be free of damage/deformation. And of course the correct knuckle installed. Prior considering a simple alignment. Which as you say, maybe all that’s required. Good luck. Cheers 👍

[@pavelmelendres6592]

Great job, how much miles in the old one???

[@TheGibby3340]

Thx. 333,000 KMS on the original bearing. Cheers 👍

[@donaldisrael7147]

I have that same Chinese puller set. Done 4 similar bearings bearing swaps. It could use a thrust bearing (D5 or D7?).

[@TheGibby3340]

Yeah that would take some of the load off the forcing screw threads I think…Still I thought it performed pretty well. Thx for watching. Cheers 👍

[@georgiojansen7758]

very good

[@laurentt3462]

Hello from France thanks for your vidéos on sx4 1.6 Diesel ddis I M doing the timing belt and I M stopped by à problèm No More engine speed information and therefore no more gear I guess I did à mistake on the timing The cam pulley i's not properly put. Can you help me Thanks and congrat for your work

[@TheGibby3340]

Thank you Sir. I am afraid I can’t offer much help. Double check your reference cylinder (usually #1) was on the correct stroke (usually TDC compression) relative to cam(s) index positions. Good luck thx for watching.

[@stevecawthorne4128]

Hi what puller set have you used here Thanks

[@TheGibby3340]

Similar to this kit. I think they are pretty much all the same… www.amazon.ca/Orion-Motor-Tech-Automotive-Attachments/dp/B07MBJQGNH/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?crid=2PAH2VXXOB0QI&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.9IMOtVZ_Q8E37A8Ks7lENf02a_R2QETBWZ7kRMPHjO-booG_Y__MSxT9U_yJBwsE4kkuaklXQsOY5tBHGyOkP0DW9mB-04FXOARatImGG2_KctjxfkT8GYU9hOOi6qweIvgsSFSv7pQFa4UlmS72yCZWhJ8J9ZK-dK9bOEiEgeTfL7cOOnLXBqPODNSJ2T35x8Hl1ag8mORb7GW7nMShKQ.Bs1TKxPNg36G3w3BAO87oJ7S_nmy865cSafx0tEUxLU&dib_tag=se&keywords=slide+hammer+puller+kit&qid=1710184612&sprefix=slide+ha%2Caps%2C101&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1
