Excellent video, tight and concise, no extra talk just good business, without an irritating music track. My pick for excellent tutorial with thoughtful tips for successful outcome.

Shake the locktite in the bottle. Clean the rust off the bolt first. There is no need to drive the LT in the threads. Good use of fluid film although applying to the rotor there is no chance it will get in the bolt holes. Good video!

[@greggkathy1892]

I have found those machine bolts that hold the rotor in place come off nicely with a hammer style impact driver. And I always put the anti-seize on afterwards.

[@katmandomo]

That was not my experience. The threads stripped out long before the bolt came loose. They did stay very neatly in the head of the impact driver though. Those stupid bolts suck.

[@doitinavan1979]

Did you replace both sides? Just wondering if these should be replaced in pairs? Great video 👍

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

@@doitinavan1979 Yes, I typically recommend both because they have the same wear and tear. If one is bad then the other is probably not far behind. But it won't hurt anything to just do one 👍

[@doitinavan1979]

Great, thanks for the quick reply

How much tourque did you use for the 4 screws for the wheel bearing?

What impact drill are you using , been having a nightmare with the wife 06 mini at the moment , first the break disk retaining screw needed drilling out , I wanted better access to the ABS sensor that is faulty well the top of the sensor snapped off , I tried the put a screw in the sensor but it's in there so tight the screw snapped. So I now got to take the hub and bearing off so I can either push it though or drill it out , But I am not doing it until I got a impact driver it just seems to make life so much easier. I don't want to waste money and by the wrong tool are you using a compact impact driver ? P.s great video I was a broken man earlier after that screw snapped , however the removal off the hub seem straight forward enough providing the bolts are not sized in place ,I done tricker stuff in the past. Your video was very well done with clear instructions 👍

Ah man! I feel your pain. I'm using the Ryobi P262 4 mode 1/2" impact. It's plenty powerful enough for automotive work and super durable. They have a lot of other battery power tools I use regularly like a light, vacuum, air compressor... Not trying to sell you on it but I like them 👍
