I found it better to leave the ballrace in then used a 30mm socket to drift in out with club hammer more to get onto.

2024 and still helping us out! Thank you sir! Would this work on a 2012 Renault Clio MK3? My wheel bearings are obnoxiously loud now, especially on the highway.

This is just brilliant. 👌💡

That's a job best done whilst the wife is out shopping 😅

Genius!

welding some spots on was a great tip, was struggling for an hour till i spotted this, 5 minutes later..... done

this really helped me out thank you

Great video, very well described. I've got my rear fiesta one to replace soon. It has abs on it but hopefully it will be the same sort of thing. Do you think using a socket and some threaded bar would be any use? I mean to pull it through. I have no welder and I'm cautious about damaging the inside of the hub with a chisel. Thank you

Does the new bearing need grease or no ?

What a legend. Going to try this on my Renault 9 tomorrow cheers!.

Much easier to remove the bearings from the shell. Then use a high impact socket thats large enough to butt up against the smaller diameter center part of the shell. Even if u have to buy one its way cheaper than a pulling tool. 10 minutes rather than 10 hrs using a chisel. Not to mention the entire year of your life lost to stress

Great thanks dont have a welder so used a 36mm socket to hammer it out

I really liked what i saw about from thr cold chisle of the bearing race....

But doesn't your wife moan about the stink in the oven n kitchen????

Lo del calor en la pieza es clave cuando está muy clavada la pista

It wasn't 190 nm for brake drums and 175 nm for discs?

Cheers for this. Instead of using an oven I used a blow torch to heat the hub, bearing dropped straight in!

Helped me out big time thanks, literally dropped in, about 99% of the way anyway, needs a few taps with the old race to seat it though but wait for things to cool down/heat up before doing that. The old race isn’t half a bastard to bang out.

Is there a risk of the bearing cracking when exposed to the heat of the drum?

Mine had like someone else here in the comments a metal shoulder at the back which made it almost impossible to hit the outer case on the back so i went with the weld dots. The welds broke of a couple of times, i had to hit it really hard with a very heavy hammer, no movement at all. Then i decided to oven heat the drum, cooled the old bearing case carefully from the inside not spoiling water on the hub, hit again and so it finally came out. The tips on shrinking with weld beads or using a bearing puller (or DIY bolt / washers) i read after the job was done but could have been also helpful.

Bearing out, oven on ;) used a large socket and sledge hammer to knock out casing with a little heat on the drum

GREAT VIDEO FOR HOME DIY CAR REPAIRS, SAVE ON THE GARAGE BILLS, IN THE N/E THEY CHARGE ABOUT £50 - £75 A SIDE FOR THIS JOB !

Very clever✨👍🏼

Great job.

Great video! To make it even easier to get bearings out, rather than just doing the little spot welds, if you run about 4 welds right the way through the inside of the old bearing "outer case" and wait for them to cool down, the shrinkage affect of those welds will make it fall out or come out with a very light tap.

Fantastic

Use the correct size socket then when you use your hammer it will push it out parrelel and not kink it. I like the weld dots. I'm a marine engineer and changing bearings is pretty common job on pumps. Both heating and freezing works well. Sometimes you can freeze shafts to drop bearings over the top too.

Where did you buu the retaining clip and wheel bearing

Thankyou for this video mate! Its very informative - gives me the confidence to do my own. Please keep doing more videos like this. Great work 💪🏼🙏🏻

Works A Treat Find a piece of scaffold pole: can biff the old one out with that after you've put it in the oven. It takes some biffing. Gas mark 160c for five minutes after the light goes out. Use some spare bubble wrap to carry the bearing around before you drop it in. . Perfect mate, perfect.

You just saved me 150 quid nice one mate 👍🏻

Worked perfectly thanks, 24hrs in the freezer for the bearing and 1hr in the oven for the hub. Went in a dream, awesome and as others have said saved me a whole lot of aggro and money.

Great hack the one we did had a metal shoulder at the back which made it harder some heat on the hub and a 32 mm socket on the casing had it out. Bearing in the freezer and oven on didn’t drop in but bashed in and all’s well many thanks

I had an old piston from a brake caliper i welded it to the inside shell of old bearing it drove out pretty easy but i had put a full run of weld round it if you don't have a welder i think it will be much harder to get out and you would have to be very careful,make sure you don't damage the abs pick up ring on the rear of drum.

no grease required at all then ? thanks for vid

Thanks mate, for uploading the video👍

Brilliant! Worked for me too!!

great video mate. thanks. Best regrads from Russia

I seriously cannot get the drum off

8:44 but you need to put some grease??

7:23 wooow amazing!

Is it ok to put the drum in the over with abs ring attached as im worried it will melt? it looks part plastic/hard rubber to me? Also tip for anyone removing old bearing if you drop a 32mm socket in the back it slots in perfect and is easier and quicker to hit with a hammer. Cheers

Legend saved me a few quid got 4 to do 😭

Thank you so much for this. Though it’s basic physics, it didn’t cross my mind. WORKED LIKE A CHARM!! Thanks mate!!!

How many Nm you said 175 nm ?

best video ever

Bearing nr. pls???

Aveo

Wooow..hot cold..wanderfull.
