Holy shit man. Ive watched a ton of your videos for fixing my jeep, but i just bought a malibu and i have to fix the stabilitrak issue which i saw could be the wheel hub. One youtube search later and your video is the first one i see! Love you big dawg, keep it up ❤️
Glad I found this video!! My wife had 5 buyers for my "For Sale" malibu, yesterday an ABS light came on the dash. this video was quick and to the point! We haven't sold the car yet, but I'm glad I changed the bearing instead of selling the car as is. Thanks.
Great video, much appreciated! I did this on my 2013 malibu front driver side. Lot of penetrating lube and hammer work to get the old rusted bearing out. And i also replaced the wheel speed sensor in the process. After driving about half mile my lights on the dash went out! Thanks!
This is going to help replace both hubs on my sons car, nice video..looks a little easier than I thought and saving some serious cash! Most important part of the job is just knowing the torque specs needed, and they are all here. Thank you.
As I said before you have excellent videos that are easy to follow with all the info needed. And I mean one of the best period on jeep stuff.Please change your titles to JEEP CHEROKEE REPLACEMENT (what ever part first) That will get you the hits you need. That is how your videos will get the attention they need and deserve. You are putting a lot of work into them and deserve to get paid for your knowledge that you are helping us with.Try it and see what happens PLEASE.
This made it so much easier. The other videos shows taking bunch of crap off that i assumed it was necessary and i suspicion was correct. Thanks for posting this video
Torque Spec = "Tight AF" LOL Love your editing - it's to the point and no useless footage! Thanks for sharing this - I'll be doing this job this coming weekend!
Just started working on my own car and I definitely needed to get these replaced on my '13 Malibu. Your vid was straight-to-the-point and exactly what I needed in order to tackle this myself.
Simple, easy to follow instructions, straight to the point. This told me everything I needed and where to use it, definitely the kind of videos I need when I'm 3½hrs into a 30 minute job because if one locknut, thank you for the help!
Probably the best DIY video I have seen. I was worried about changing that assembly, but not now. I like your quick no bullshit get it down attitude with the the sly joke "Tight AF".....lol Good job, and thank you!
Great video and very detailed. Thank you. One thing people leave out is if you have to replace the brake pads or depress the caliper for any reason on this Malibu, you need a special tool.
Man, I have to say thank you for this video. This saved me big time. Simple, easy and clear as hell man or some awesome video. Thanks man. Appreciate you
Great detailed video. A shortcut to not having to remove the strut bolts is to use a regular deep socket 18 and a 6 in extension on the top wheel bearing bolt. It slides in between the cv axle boot.
Love this video. Lighting is good, angles are good. Not shadowy or camera right on the part to where you can't tell what you're looking at. To the point, and sizes for everything. Will have to replace mine soon and will be coming back here to do it. 👍
Great video and very informative! I ran into a snag...my strut assembly twisted and is under tension when I removed the strut bolts. Any advice to get it back? I see yours didn't.
Hi, great video! You made it look so easy, but I think it will be a lot harder to do this without the proper tools. Can you please tell me the name of the tool you’re using?
@@barricadegarage5361 Thanks very much bro! I wasn't sure because of loosening the strut bolts. That Battery operated Impact is a beast!!! Thanks, Subscribed!
just wondering how long did the replacement take overall? need to replace mines asap also autozone said there was two different types of tire rotors for this vehicle not sure if thats true
I had lent my brother my hub puller a while back and did my front driver wheel hub today. Beat the holy hand grenade outta if for like 20 minutes to get it to budge after soaking in some penetrant. My only advice for anyone else watching is do NOT use a impact for the axle nut; tighten it up to the point where it starts to try and spin, put the tire on and pop the middle emblem of the Chevy logo out... drop the car SLIGHTLY so its coming into contact with the ground, finish up with a torque wrench to 159 ft lbs. Pop the emblem back in, drop it and you're done.
MrPsychoMiko1 Use a torque wrench to set accurate torque on fastners. Ive been doing this for a long time so I know how these torque values feel when they are reached so I rarely use a torqe wrench for suspension work. I still choose to post the torque specs to give the viewers that dont have a torque wrench a good idea of how tight the fastners should be.
MrPsychoMiko1 yes thread locker should be added..fasteners should be torqued to factory specs..definitely the wheel hub bearing should be torqued to factory specs lol that wheel hub bearing won’t last long
@@rahrah8076 The axle nut is supposed to be torqued to 159 foot pounds. The Milwaukee Fuel M12 2555-20 impact wrench that he used is rated to 250 ft lbs. So it's safe to assume that he torqued every nut and bolt to 250 ft lbs.
Just did this and went to test drive it and got about 10 feet out my drive and ABS and service stabilitrak lights came on. Wasn’t doing that before, any idea what happened?
Solid video other than the fact that you HAVE to torque that axle nut to appropriate spec. If you over tighten, can cause premature failure of the wheel bearing
The only thing I'd have done differently was apply anti seize to the splines on the drive shaft before inserting it into the hub, other than that it was pretty spot on.
About to replace both front end hub assemblies, worried about rust causing the CV axle to get stuck. What state are you in? I'm in Minnesota, last front wheel hub I did was completely rusted to the CV axle. Nightmare.
Loved this video. I might actually give it a go myself. I’m assuming the torque specs were just informational, and the “tight AF” was used more often? That’s more my speed, but I do have a torque wrench. Thanks!
I love this video. This motivated me to desire automotive work. I hope I can become a certified mechanic as a goal. By the way, do you have a link to the parts?
My type of videos to the point without all the side jokes and useless footage. Hope your channel grows much bigger
Exactly... straight to the point, clear instruction.
5yrs later this video still helping people just did this to my little brothers car today using this video wayyyy better than the others I’ve seen
Thats crazy I just thanked him
"Let's get right to it." Clear, concise, cogent. Best made instructional videos on TH-cam. Thank you
Every automotive repair video should be like this. Very professional and excellent editing, good info. Thank you!
One of the best how to mechanic videos I've seen. Bravo!
Holy shit man. Ive watched a ton of your videos for fixing my jeep, but i just bought a malibu and i have to fix the stabilitrak issue which i saw could be the wheel hub. One youtube search later and your video is the first one i see! Love you big dawg, keep it up ❤️
One of the best videos I have seen on wheel hub replacement! Great job!
Showing all the right steps without the hype, and waisted time. Loved it.
Very Well done Workin' Man.
Does it need an alignment afterwards??
@@ernesttorrez319 no because you didn't turn the outer tie rod end.
Glad I found this video!! My wife had 5 buyers for my "For Sale" malibu, yesterday an ABS light came on the dash. this video was quick and to the point! We haven't sold the car yet, but I'm glad I changed the bearing instead of selling the car as is. Thanks.

This is how a how to video should be done, quick and to the point. Now I'm just hoping my hubs come out easily
R hubs and bearings the same thing??
This is going to help replace both hubs on my sons car, nice video..looks a little easier than I thought and saving some serious cash!
Most important part of the job is just knowing the torque specs needed, and they are all here.
Thank you.
Great video. You covered it without skipping any steps and without using any specialty tools.

rick martin Thanks I appreciate the support
Tight AF 😀. That's my new measure of tightening from today!
Just found this video a week ago. GREAT POINTERS! I changed both of my front wheel hubs in 2:45, first time doing this job on this car.
This made it so much easier. The other videos shows taking bunch of crap off that i assumed it was necessary and i suspicion was correct. Thanks for posting this video
Best video I’ve seen! Finished the job in an hour
Timken sales rep here. I like your header with the Timken bearing. I believe this one is also a Timken. Torques are very important, good job.
Got to be the best tutorial on TH-cam I stg clear instructions and can clearly see the process
Love the video bro! Straight to the point! No need to be skipping and looking for what I came here for

Great video. Good camera angles. Great facts and info. Very clear.
Rob H Thank You!!
Great video and very detailed. Thank you. One thing people leave out is if you have to replace the brake pads or depress the caliper for any reason on this Malibu, you need a special tool.
Literally couldn't have made it simpler thanks subscribed
Awesome video clear instructions and I'm inspired to do this myself after being told it would cost 100$ to fix
Tight AF haha great job man that was so nice, easy and clear
Man, I have to say thank you for this video. This saved me big time. Simple, easy and clear as hell man or some awesome video. Thanks man. Appreciate you
Thank you so much sir! This was amazingly helpful! A++ I appreciate the time you took to make this.
Great video and info. FWIW, you should torque the wheel bearing to proper specs. Too tight will ruin your bearing prematurely.
Excellent video, sir. I love that you included the torque settings.
Great detailed video. A shortcut to not having to remove the strut bolts is to use a regular deep socket 18 and a 6 in extension on the top wheel bearing bolt. It slides in between the cv axle boot.
Awesome how to video. Only took me an hour and a half, my milwaukee sang the bolts off like a dream ❤️❤️
Nice video. Clear and right to the point. Helped me out, thanks
Great video, sir! Very clear and to the point.
Great great video! No unnecessary talking n showed us specs
Tight af!😂
very straight forward and to the point. showing removal without a slide hammer as well very helpful and instructional awesome video man thank you!
Love this video. Lighting is good, angles are good. Not shadowy or camera right on the part to where you can't tell what you're looking at. To the point, and sizes for everything. Will have to replace mine soon and will be coming back here to do it. 👍
Replaced both front bearings with this video. Thanks bro!
I iust started automotives and i love the way you explained everything keep up the good work!
Great video. Really appreciate all the clear instructions
Damn you made it look way to easy! Having all the tools and proper ones needed is like 80% of the battle.
Thank you bro, i did myself by watching your video.
Im glad I could help
Great video... Right to the point with the info I needed. Going out to do mine now
Absolutely awesome video thank you
Excellent, intelligent presentation. Should have mentioned the wheel speed sensor reluctor ring on the hub...assume that's why u replaced it.
EPIC video. Thanks for taking the time to make it!!!!
Great video and very informative! I ran into a snag...my strut assembly twisted and is under tension when I removed the strut bolts. Any advice to get it back? I see yours didn't.
Loved the vid. Subbed to your channel. Keep pumping out videos like this!
Best video I've found so far perfect info thanks
Hi, great video! You made it look so easy, but I think it will be a lot harder to do this without the proper tools. Can you please tell me the name of the tool you’re using?
When I see him unbolted with the Gun at the beginning- I’m like my maaan 😅- thanks again for the video
Like the video. Very concise and thorough.
Excellent video!
Bro i clicked your vid for the CV torque specs lmao you did infact mention it
damn son it pulled off the axle nut no prob lol
singlecams yup. It can tackle around 75% of what I throw at it
AWESOME VIDEO! Would you need a front end alignment, after doing this?
TheVintage Attic No, you dont need an alignment after replacing the wheel hubs
@@barricadegarage5361 Thanks very much bro! I wasn't sure because of loosening the strut bolts. That Battery operated Impact is a beast!!! Thanks, Subscribed!
You do excellent work, thank you for sharing your talent.
Is that the stuby that took off that Axel nut? Didn't know it had that much power
+wblake22 yes thats the M12 Fuel stubby 1/2 impact
Love it,straight forward and and to the job at hand .
How much hammering did you do to get the hub off???
Love the short sweet and to the point!
What's the thing called that you used to pry that hub off?
just wondering how long did the replacement take overall? need to replace mines asap also autozone said there was two different types of tire rotors for this vehicle not sure if thats true
Thanks a lot man. This was a huge help
Glad I could help out
Good job with detailing your repair. Have you replaced the throttle body yet?
No
Great video and I appreciate the torque specs even though I don't think you actually torqued them to spec🤣🤣🤣
Was your alignment off
Thank you! This was super helpful!
What kind of half impact is that
Thanks. I watched your video on how to do it but you don't have to remove the tie rod bolt.
Does this method require a front-end alignment when you're done? Seems like a lot of parts can be shifted around with all this disassembly.
No alignment is required
David Moltrup yes alignment is needed..

I like ur video really good job
Can we just replace the front wheel bearing of Chevy Cruze or need to change the entire hub???
Its a sealed unit so you need to replace the entire hub
How do you ensure the correct torque for each bolt you reinstalled ? Can you set your impact driver or did u use a torque wrench?
MrPsychoMiko1 Use a torque wrench to set accurate torque on fastners.

Clean job helped me out
I watched the whole video and even even need wheel hubs haha. Gotta love non press hubs
Just did this and went to test drive it and got about 10 feet out my drive and ABS and service stabilitrak lights came on. Wasn’t doing that before, any idea what happened?
Debris on the abs sensor?
Man this video cut the bullshit, got right to the bidness. Thank you sir
Great video, bro!
Straight to the point 💯
Best car video I have seen to date. Quick and to the point. This was Tight As Fuck. Subbed.
Solid video other than the fact that you HAVE to torque that axle nut to appropriate spec. If you over tighten, can cause premature failure of the wheel bearing
That lil ass impact strong as hell. I might need to buy one. My full size kobalt is powerful but too big to get into places
The only thing I'd have done differently was apply anti seize to the splines on the drive shaft before inserting it into the hub, other than that it was pretty spot on.
Great video, thank you very much🤜🤛
Excellent video
Just replaced all four of my wheel barrings , rotors and breaks . Is it common to be making noise ? Like a break in period
No thats not common
Smoke Squad probably bent the rotor dust shield
Great video keep up the good work
About to replace both front end hub assemblies, worried about rust causing the CV axle to get stuck. What state are you in?
I'm in Minnesota, last front wheel hub I did was completely rusted to the CV axle. Nightmare.
Loved this video. I might actually give it a go myself. I’m assuming the torque specs were just informational, and the “tight AF” was used more often? That’s more my speed, but I do have a torque wrench. Thanks!
I definitely need to change my wheel hub its making that rough grinding noise when driving
I love this video. This motivated me to desire automotive work. I hope I can become a certified mechanic as a goal.
By the way, do you have a link to the parts?
Helpful as fuck. “Tight af” lol. Good video man
NICE WORK 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
