Toyota Starlet. Rear Wheel Bearing.

[@ianluscombe]

Thanks for showing this. I managed to change me rear bearing on my 97 Starlet by following this. All the play has gone and so has the grinding noise. Bearing was only £7 too so a it was a bargain of a fix.

[@Raggedyman72]

I have a Tercel, but its the same process. Thanks for showing how the crown cap thingy and all that goes together, as well as calling out the size of the nuts.

Thanks so much for your video, please keep making more videos! From a daughter who can now replace her own wheel bearings & made her dad proud. 😍🤩😎

[@jamiemoulding9104]

This was helpful and helped out a ton and managed to get it done in an hour with faffing around with other stuff

[@marlinclownfish1046]

Great video. Well shot and edited. Watching as a sanity check for doing the same job on my car. Tip; use the old bearing race to tap in the new one. It distributes the impact evenly.

[@OwenCuff]

This video is absolutely excellent, I wish you were my dad

[@volgnit]

Oh my. I'm sure there would be much better videos out there for learning that stuff. I'm what ya might call a bush mechanic, but good for you for getting in there. I'm sure your dad is proud no matter what.

[@weltontong2616]

Went for a WOF yesterday and found out the bearing's buggered! Awesome video mate, I'll attempt the same on my 97 Starlet later this afternoon.

[@paulliddle6079]

Your a legend mate. Thanks for putting in the time and effort into making this video. I’m about to change the bearings on my 1998 starlet. I’ll try the oven freezer method and see if that works. Will let you know !

[@matthewfetherston5322]

I liked how fast you can knock the bearing races in.

[@volgnit]

Ha ha. The magic of editing. Thanks for watching.

[@grayman999]

Well done Dad been helping my daughter out with all things car this weekend 👍

[@volgnit]

It's what we do eh Graham. Thanks for watching.

[@Badgertronix]

Good job. You're the new MacGyver with with how you got the job done with so few tools

[@volgnit]

A bit rough but such is life. Lol !

[@PlumBob]

Looking good Marty, another happy customer. Looks like a nice day in your neighbourhood.

[@volgnit]

Thanks Bob. That was in springtime. We are fair cooking now though. Mid to high high 30'sC lately. I hope your winter isn't too bad although I hear some places are getting hammered in the top part of the planet.

[@michaelmacnaughtan8850]

Thank you mate, great work even without a press. Those races can take a bit of stick as I've done the same method before and as long as you're even with the taps and don't put any gouges in the side, it seems to be ok.

[@dionhenry7000]

Thank you for sharing your video! helped me a lot and now i know how to change a bearing on my starlet 👻

[@volgnit]

Thanks Dion but remember, I am definitely just a bush mechanic at best. Good luck mate.

[@OldManTony]

Dad mechanic again, a job that never goes away hahahah

[@volgnit]

Gotta do it eh Tony. Rough is the only way I know how.

[@ipaporod]

It's better to use the old bearing sleeve to get the new one in by putting it on top and tap it with the hammer.You don't apply grease that way, the best way is to use the indentation technique to make sure the bearing is greased throughly.

[@faithbiker8262]

Job well done. I know how to check the oil and put gas in it that's about it. Learned a lot my friend. Take care!

[@volgnit]

Gee. Don't follow my directions my friend. A bush mechanic is what I am. Lol !

[@thomasfriis3651]

Thanks man, helped med change the bearing on my Old starlet :)

[@cainetipene3850]

Do you have any more things done on the starlet 😅 top teacher

[@cricketnpeachesj14]

Great video, thanks for sharing that.

[@texaslonestarrider]

Done that before many years ago! Good job!

[@volgnit]

A bit rough but got the job done. Cheers Rex.

[@ianluscombe]

Helpful. Thanks

[@firdausaddailamy6837]

Thank you mr, its so helpfull,,, Thank you from indonesian starlet lovers,,,,

[@volgnit]

Thanks mate. They are a great little car.

[@MothershipVideos]

Can you have to much grease? Well done with the tools available.

[@volgnit]

Rough as guts but the job got done. Lol ! Cheers mate.

[@mickholgate3347]

great vid mate

[@johnphipps1560]

I enjoy my starlet. Failed mot... advised to scrap it but I will rather spend a bit on it. Toyota seems to outlast most cars.

[@BUSHBASHS]

Great vid, thanks

[@taylorcrangle5507]

Should do one on a hand break cable 😂

[@volgnit]

Sadly, she ended up killing the little Starlet and it is now someone else's problem. But thanks for watching.

[@TheBludgutz]

Very helpful, handbrake first next time!

[@bobsmith6845]

Okay there's a couple things here that are causing my head to explode, number one when installing the new race use the old race to tap on, do not tap on it with a punch, number two that is absolutely not how you pack grease into a wheel bearing lookup the proper procedure for packing wheel bearing grease

[@volgnit]

Gosh Bob I'm sorry about your sore head mate. I'll pop over to your channel and learn how to do it all properly.

[@godmotherbarrera7263]

Can spmeone pls explain what os making noose, because when i drive i hear a loud RRRRRRRRRRR sound on the front right side and when i brake it sounds like steal on steal touching eachother ... pls pls pls someone give me a tip because i startet hearing it today

[@freewolfable]

Just was wondering how much pressure does the wheel bearing need on it from the nut holding it into place ?

[@volgnit]

As you can probably tell I'm just a bush mechanic. I'm sure there is a torque setting but I do 'em up by feel. Too tight and the bearings bind, too loose and there is play. The split pin is the essential ingredient. Lol !!

[@thedivisionbell220]

Tapered bearings like this only require the nut to be hand tightened. Tightening with a wrench can damage the bearings, I learned that the hard way. Put your nut on hand tight, then spin the wheel for a good 30 seconds or so to seat the bearings, then hand tighten the nut again. I repeat the spin/tighten process a couple times for peace of mind. Always use new dust caps as well.

[@jackjohnson9989]

@@thedivisionbell220 "....put your nut on hand tight then spin the wheel....." JD, you saved me some precious time and money with the above. Bless you!

[@brukworku228]

does anyone know the bearing number for the rear wheel of Starlet 1987

[@hanitharayil6821]

Where i get the starlets bearing in india

[@banditnev]

Bush Mechanic!!!

[@volgnit]

I'll show ya rough mate. Ha ha ha ha !!

[@foodloverkhan]

It’s 13 inch

[@ubslo5405]

Terrible way to treat a bearing race. You could have used the old bearing to drift it in with no risk of distorting or chivving the new bearing race!

[@volgnit]

Good idea. You can come and show me on the other side. Lol Thanks for watching anyway mate.

[@ubslo5405]

You were almost there when you used the old bearing race to knock the dust seal in.The old races make a perfect matching drift and as they are being chucked doesn't matter if you bash 'em about. Would dearly love to come and show you how its done but I have to paddle my own canoe and its a lot of paddling from Blighty!

[@RS-yj3gn]

Concur

[@Roboticpycotic]

Im sure you think your pretty handy, but thats really not the proper way to pack a bearing or set the rear preload on this vehicle.

[@volgnit]

No mate I think you have nothing better to do than put caustic comments on old videos. Good for you. My mum always said, if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.

[@Roboticpycotic]

@@volgnit I have no idea how to wire an electrical panel but I could probably do a "ok" job with a bit of time and effort. But posting it to youtube may imply it was done professionally and to code. I'm totally fine with this video, BUT put a caption in the first 10 secs: "I am not a professional"

[@volgnit]

@@Roboticpycotic Yeah, thanks for your advise mate. I'll come over to your channel sometime and learn how I should do it. I don't recall ever saying I was a professional, in fact I believe I said in the description something like it was my attempt with minimal tools. You have a nice day now.

[@jackjohnson9989]

@@Roboticpycotic seriously? "... But posting it to youtube may imply it was done professionally and to code...." Blarney and bunkum! You're setting up your own aunt sally and knocking it down. Where in KZbin's 'Terms and Conditions of Use' is the edict about things being done 'professionally and to code'? If he can tap the bearing in using a centre punch or cold chisel without chipping or distortion, well done! Yes, using the old bearing reduces the chances of damage. He slogs copious amounts of grease in the right places but evidently there is some professional way to do that as well! After a couple thousand revolutions I suppose the M.O.T engineers can take the wheel off and prove he erred, right? Your analogy about the electrical panel is balderdash! you're clearly not a LICENSED electrician. So you can wire panels all year, you'd never get a supply connected under your name as the sparkie. You probably COULD do an 'ok' job. But how would you know?

[@Roboticpycotic]

@@jackjohnson9989 kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6bFmJ19jd6hqsk Thats how to pack a bearing. To set bearing preload: well I'm not going to bother writing it out here but if its not done properly it will reduce bearing life by 20% at least. Ok Its just a Tercel I get it, it's actually a decent job he did. Its just the fact that he is so self satisfied that he decided to post it to KZbin, yet there is no desire to think hmmm could I make sure what I am doing is technically correct first before I post. Sorry I'm ocd I just hate sloppy people.
