Thanks for the video. Another tip don't forget your snap ring before you press in the hub

[@JSEENTERPRISES]

One point you forgot to make which helps a lot is put the bearing in the freezer overnight to ease the installation process

[@davidmcgee2126]

I might have to replace my Yukon bearing assembly but boy is it relatively easy. You guys are by far and away the best repair channel. Always good info Thank you. If I have a pressed bearing, to the shop it goes. Replaced quite a few trailer bearings.

[@mikejerrett7354]

I have pressed a bearing in backwards, the bolt on ones are way easier. Good video 😊

[@georgemaxee1700]

Your video on side mirror replacement really helped me out. Thanks!!!

[@markhammer9975]

Thank you. I forgot the snap ring that goes in before pressing the hub on my e46. Had to pull it back out and put a new one in.

[@mph5896]

Great tips. I don’t ever recall doing one of these bearings, but have an upcoming job.

[@michaelmartin2276]

Glad you're here to show us shade tree mechanics how not to do repairs ! Keep these videos coming !

[@CaptainRudy4021]

You actually can use a hammer to install the bearing. You just need either a socket that's the exact size of the outer race or a scrap piece of 2x4. I've done both several times without issue.

When pressing in a new hub into the newly installed bearing of my 2000 Honda Accord, I believe I used an incorrect spacer on the backside where after pressing the hub in and taking the set up apart, I notice that the inner race had been pushed out partially. I then used a correct spacer and using the same set up impacted/pressed the race of the bearing back and reseated it. I put it all back together and drove my car around for 20-30 minutes and didn’t hear the humming sound of the original bad bearing. I also didn’t hear any other noises from the new bearing…yet. My question is did I ruin that new bearing when the race was pushed out some by using the incorrect spacer? I ordered a new pair just in case. Should I just continue running it or should I go ahead and replace a possible compromised bearing?

Why don't all manufacturers use bolt on hubs? So much easier!

[@artfisher1235]

Great video.

[@gabrieleloisa7887]

Love the last one!! 😂

[@averageguy1261]

Outtakes are great

[@trashheap5590]

I changed a friends cv axle and wheel bearing on his 2008 Kia Rio and now it’s making that low pitched growl noise. The only thing I can think I did wrong from watching this video is installing it with a hammer. I never struck the new bearing though, I used the old bearing and piece of 2 by 4 board to hammer it in and ensure it was seated flush all the way around. I also used a hammer to get the hub through the bearing, but it didn’t pull the race with it. What could I have done wrong? I inspected everything before it went back together.

Great vid 👍

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

I'm still waiting for an explanation of what was wrong with good old fashion tapered roller bearings that were used for decades. You know, the ones that would (usually) last the life of of a vehicle with no more maintenance than cleaning and repacking them when a brake job was done!

[@oso2916]

Who else is here watching after making one of these mistakes?? 😂😂

[@gilni9064]

Can we grease the bearing upon installing?

[@jonathanguy9291]

Does anyone know if I can install an ABS wheel bearing and Hub on a non ABS car?

[@franciscoservin7610]

Thank you!

[@tianic]

I once installed the bearing inside out. I didnt know until the abs light was on, the code was “installation error”, had to pull it out and do it again

[@jesussavedme964]

I use/touch a metal non magnetized flat tip screwdriver to the ring on the side of the bearing ( it will stick slightly to the bearing side that is magnetic ) then the magnetic part of the bearing side faces the a.b.s. sensor .You could buy a magnetic field tester card for a few dollars , but I find it unnecessary . Also watch a lot of KZbin videos .

[@christianadkins2305]

Biggest factor in longevity iv learned is proper torque for the axel nut. Over or under torque will kill a bearing fast... almost as fast as putting spacers + bigger tires on the truck...😅🤣

[@chrissykes659]

I made all the mistakes you just mentioned, so the next time I bought the whole knuckle for $ 30.00 bucks more. Easy Peasy.

[@sirlordbabish3873]

leaving the old bearing race on the hub must happen a lot. painful to imagine 😂

[@fahhad17]

Most important one missing , angular race bearing need lug nut torque

[@HanifEFIMechanical]

Good

[@relaxnheal8640]

Can't seem to press them in without damaging the magnetic ring

[@Rocky-jx9xw]

Another mistake that mechanics make is they put the bearing on a magnet tray and it ruins the ABS magnet

[@outlawbillionairez9780]

Never use compressed air on ball bearings. Don't spin new, dry ball bearings. Never hammer on ball bearings. Don't pack them with grease. They need to spin.

[@BmwMe-uh9sy]

and dont put the bearing in crooked

[@coasterbrookie]

Guy at work… (knows everything about everything), calls me over and asks for help getting wheel bearing back out of the hub. 😂😂 I asked him why would you not buy the entire assembly? “Because it was $300!” The bearing was $100. This was after he installed it wrong and had to make another trip to dealer. 😂 😂. Apparently he only buys this stuff from dealer. I understand Prius OEM hubs only but this was for a Corolla.

[@JamesAutoDude]

That's why I just replace the whole hub / steering knuckle lol

[@mann_idonotreadreplies]

Petition to standardize Bolt on bearings 😂

[@logansalameh7448]

I need to get the hub in without the middle of the bearing popping out this my third try

[@jfruser]

Dude, it is NOT cool to look over my shoulder and watch me install bearings without giving me a heads-up.

[@Ihavetruth22]

I HATE PRESSED IN BEARING. THIS IS STUPID TECH AND LOW TECH. WHY ARENT THESE THINGS BOLTED IN LIKE EVERY OTHER PART. THERE IS NO POINT OF NEEDING COMPLICATED PRESSED IN BEARINGS. There are better ways.
