- Our RV is in jeopardy. We are newbies when it comes to RV repairs and you won't believe where we went wrong. The scariest part is we are stuck and can't tow our RV until this fixed. Join us today as we attempt to make these repairs on our own and share the relatable stressors that we find living on the road.

I'm a truck mechanic, the way I set the small trailer wheel bearings is somewhat similar to the way I set them on a commercial truck.
First step is to seat the bearing. Tighten with a socket and ratchet or torque wrench approximately 50ft lbs. Rotate the hub one full rotation and torque again. Do this twice.
Second step is to back off the nut without moving the hub til the nut becomes loose. Approx. 1/8-1/4 turn counter clockwise.
Third step is to tighten the nut back up finger tight. The nut must be backed off slightly and left with what is called endplay, this allows for thermal expansion as the wheel hub is heated going down the road.
Check the bearing by spinning, the hub and feeling that it's smooth and not binding.
Push in and hold then pull out and hold with your hands at 9-3 on the hub. You should not feel any movement or clunking.
If you feel clunking the bearings are loose and need adjustment or replacement. The endplay will not typically be felt by hand.
Anyone telling you that greasing through the zerks is "not good" is a clown, I just did all 4 of ours and the fresh grease was coming through the bearings just like when I hand pack them, literally no difference.
FREE TIP: the opening of the channel lock should be facing the direction that you are turning them, this way the more pressure you put on the nut, the more the jaws clamp down tighter. Use them like you would a wrench, not across like you did they should be on the same plane as the nut is, flat.
Overall you're doing great, just keep on working bro and don't give up ~much love ❤
Good free tip! I was covering my eyes, trying not to look as he was using those channel locks so wrongly. Personally, I have a socket that fits the castle nut. But great save Hanks!
Some of the zerk haters seem to think that people who use the zerks don't pack the bearings before assembly. Regular greasing via the zerk doesn't replace anything. All the zerk does is let you add grease in addition to the initial grease pack - which reduces the chance of a catastrophic failure before a scheduled rebuild.
I am a zerk hater for a good reason. The grease in the tubes used in grease guns appears to be formulated differently so that it can be pumped through the grease gun. No matter what brand of grease I buy, once I open that tube and the grease is exposed to air, the oil separates from the thickener. If I towed regularly like the Hanks, this would not be a problem because the spinning of the bearings would mix the oil back into the grease before there was too much separation. I stick with the grease that comes in the plastic tubs. Even a decade after opening it, it is still the same as the day I opened it.
As always, read and comply with the manufacturer's instructions. Dexter advises that using the EZ Lube feature is not a substitute for removing, cleaning, inspecting and repacking the bearing sets. Do that at least every 12,000 miles or 12 months. This also allows verification that the bearings have not "spun" in the hubs. My 5th wheel had 3 of 4 bearings spin, found at the first service. Dealer replaced all 4 sets under warranty with new Timkens.
Adjust the adjustable pliers so the handles are closer together, makes it easier to hold. 👍👍
We turned ofthe presidential debate.
To watch you guys!!
Accountability is refreshing. 😊
I did the same😂
I can tell you that you didn't miss anything exciting from either side! Carl's slipped wrench is more entertaining! 😂
You need a torque wrench to torque those castle nuts to 55lbs, in order to properly seat them. Then back them off and make them hand tight. Fellow Pennsylvanians who enjoy your videos.
This guy has it right. Set to the correct torque then back off to hand tight. It will allow the bearings to have the correct preload when they come up the operating temperature.
55lbs? I was ase certified mechanic and have never been told to torque cone style bearings! Tighten to snug while spinning the drum until it starts to drag,THEN back off to the next cotter pin slot! That's is the way to do it correctly! Or you can be on the side of the road with smoked bearings! Why would you ruin the bearings before even using them! I look forward to the idiots comments! ASE Certified! Not crackerjack box awarded!
@stephenscering1776 I was given those instructions from my RV Manufacturers service guide. Said that was the way you needed to preset the bearings without over torqueing them. That's what I did, and it worked just fine. My axles didn't have cotter pins. They use a retainer clip.
Kyle with the guns out and using power tools. Becoming one with his inner tim "the tool man" Taylor.
Guns..hahaha
Kyle the minute you said, “Hey Siri what is the Milwaukee impact torque settings?” My phone ended up responding 🤣🤣🤣
Need a socket the size of the nut. makes it easier than pliers. just a suggestion
To remove nuts you use stronger settings. To put back nuts you install manually the nut to start than use lowest settings to prevent ripping off stud. You finish torque with torque wrench.
I tried to explain to my friends in New Jersey, that Buc-ee's is not a Wawa or a Scheetz. It's amazing!!
Dexter axles require you torque new bearings to 50 foot lbs, loosen and then hand tighten. Get yourself a 1/2 inch drive torque wrench. They're good for tightening you lug nuts too!
Exactly correct !
Screaming again, when you put luggage nuts ON, use electric only to get close, then use torque wrench. Retorque after 50 miles and again after 250.
I liked that little segment you going back and forth between both of you explaining different things. Well done.
In a past life as a hd mechanic, alot of the advice on here about wheel bearings is bang on! My method was similar, tighten, but use a proper socket or at least a crescent (adjustable) wrench, not slip joint pliers, then back it off, repeat, then once backed off for a second time, tighten the nut until a slight drag happens while spinning the drum. Done. This way the bearing has adequate contact and not too loose. With heat and cooling the adjustment may change too, becoming too loose. Over tightening creates too much friction and heat. Both cause premature wear of the bearing. I was also taught to hand roll grease into the rollers as even grease guns will not always coat every roller well enough. Once properly packed, a grease gun or a bearing buddy, a spring loaded grease pressure cap, is good.
What!!! No beaver nuggets? Luling Texas is the biggest now. Just opened. Thanks Hanks!
This is why we love this channel. You guys are keeping it real and not pretending to know it all and have it all together. THIS is true “reality tv”
Safe travels for you guys! God bless!!
I don't know if it's the tan line or the tank top but the gun show is on fire today!
Hahaha
I k r
I was like wth
🎉🎉🎉😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My wife went “oooh”
Since you have an impact, you dont need to loosen them before jacking the trailer up... Really enjoy yall sharing the good and the no so good parts of RV'ing. Clark
Look, I’m just going to say this. How is a grown man not familiar with common hand tools? My mind is blown. But, I do commend you on your willingness to learn and do. Both of you.
Didn’t see it in the video but I hope you either put the cotter pin in or bent the tab over to keep the hub from backing off-keep up the good work Karl I think Nay Nay likes it when your wrenching
Carl dude - you are killing it!!
When using channel locks, adjust the jaws so they are parallel. This prevents the wrench from slipping; better grip.
I am totally NOT Nay's Mom, but I'm so proud of her choice of pickled beets! Pro tip: add some hard boiled eggs to the jar for a couple hours after you make space. So good!
pickled eggs with beets are the BEST!
Me Too!!! Love it!!
i watched that.. was wondering when the wheel would pass you... grandfather and uncle showed me how to do that properly in 74 or 75 when all bearings had to be hand adjusted and if you did it wrong "once" you would be found upside down in a iowa ditch real soon.. im constantly amazed about the stuff me and all my friends knew at 14 that 40 year olds have no idea.. live and learn.. at least it did not fail first.
They had no need to know at 14 yo
.

@@007nadineL ya us farm kids could plant corn and bale hay by ourselves at 14.....
Put tire back on leave center cap and bearing buddy off spin tire while tightening nut for bearings as soon as tire just starts to slow because the nut is getting tighter go quarter turn more and lock it down then pull tire back off install bearing buddy and wheel center cap check everything after first 75-100 miles make sure all is good to go
I have the same Milwaukee impact wrench. I've used it more on people stranded than I have on my own equipment. I carry a pretty good assortment of tools when we are out. Milwaukee; they're excellent. So glad you caught this before you seized them. I've done it many years ago & learned the hard way.
The RV life is one big learning experience, especially the repairs. The good thing is you 3 are safe and no damaged happened. Dexter did a great job of keeping everything under control. Any day at Buc-ee's is a good day. Safe travels and as usual a great piece of work. 😄
Life's a constant learning situation. You guys are doing an awesome job. Learn to laugh off the small stuff and having fun. ❤️
When you use the grease fitting, always get the wheel of the ground and as you pump grease turn the wheel, this way the grease gets in even and not out on one side and push the rear seal out.
Pump till the old grease comes out the front till you see fresh grease, 👍
What!!! No beaver nuggets? Luling Texas is the biggest now. Just opened. Thanks Hanks
When you realize it’s just big pieces of cereal…. (Think Corn Pops)
Just hit the Luling location last weekend.. after a while the size of these places don't feel.much different..
Spend an hour there walking around... eating.. and over $100 bucks in snacks and stuff we don't need..😅
@@Skyegirl99it's a diabetic coma in a bag, fried syrup.
The new Luling, Texas Buc-ee’s has 120 gas pumps.
I was the one who said stop where you are and seat the bearings. Also said the grease zirk is not the way the lube the bearings. I saw you packed them buy hand and that is all you really neeed to do. Pumping the whole hub full not necessary. However If that is what you choose to do you must rotate the hub while pumping so it will go back through the inside bearing and not blow through the seal and foul the brakes. If you notice the brakes getting soft they are grease fouled and will need to be replaced again, sorry. If you have time just pull one all the way off see if grease came through, I would be surprised if it didn't I don't think you rotated it while pumping. By the way open the channel locks grab the nut from the side putting teath completely across the top and bottom of the nut, not straight form the front with just the tips.
The passion with which everyone engages in this discussion is palpable. It's infectious!🐱
Right!
Instead of lions and tigers and bears, oh my. It's bearing and seating and lugs, oh my.
as a HD mechanic from canada who is use to dealing with wheel bearings. i am use to tightening the bearings to a certain spec (depending on manufactor) backing off the nut and then tightening the nut again to either 45 degrees, 90 degrees or 180. but RV's might be different from HD trailers. love your videos and keep up the great videos.
Sea Salt & Carmel Buc-cee Nuggets are the BEST! I remember my first experience at Buc-cee's a couple years ago in New Braunfels TX. It was a game changer. It's an attraction on your way to your attraction. 🎉
Using the right tools would help too! Channel locks was not what you should have used.
Being from the northeast and going to Buckees for the first time is really life changing. Lol
When using your bottle jack, set the head just under your frame (still with some light showing through) by turning the head counter-clockwise so that you can extend it to that position by unscrewing it. Then you can jack the whole cylinder up. This allows you to preserve more range of jacking up the cylinder (therefore the frame) with the hydraulics.
Your goal for today has been met! those sandwiches looked really good. Now you are a wheel bearing expert! Great video guys.
Love, love, love your vids. And as someone who has been to three Buc ee's in a one day trip, your visit to Buc ee's was FANTASTIC
Good luck down the road with that Solitude. Rosie and I have been together traveling this beautiful country for well over fifty years. Starting our travels in a 1966 fastback Mustang with everything we own as we traveled from fort to fort while I trained troops back in 1970. Check out the song I wrote "66 Mustang on Burlington Bill". Anyway, we finally ditched our Solitude after so many problems and a lack of backing from Grand Design when their top-level people defected and started Brinkley. We bought a Z-3100 Brinkley last year and just love it. Travel safe and keep up the good work! Burlington Bill busking on the road and here on You Tube.
We were there last week and hate we missed you. We've been watching the Hanks four years and have your shirts. We'll, have fun, wild crazy kids! GBO! 🍊
I think I mentioned this in another video I wish I would’ve got this comment in earlier,, the only thing the gas station does not have is a way for you to wash your windows. They have no scrubbers or wash bins.
I really enjoyed the inside. I didn’t know what to buy.
I been RVing since the 60's packing my own wheel bearing every year without a bearing failure. I remove both bearing and using solvents to completely clean the grease out of the bearings and hubs. I then look for any signs of wear and will replace them if there is a question. I hand pack both bearings, adding extra grease to the bearing surface and install new grease seal. I use a wrench to seat the bearings. I turn to it starts to bind and then back off to it spins freely and I can insert the carter ping. I place a little extra grease on the nut and reinstall the cap. I never used the grease gun to force clean my bearings. I glad you tighten the lugs to the proper tightness.
Glad you listened and are addressing the issue but why didn't you use the torque wrench as you did on your wheel nuts? You are a trained professional, you have got this!
Kyle, those channel locks you were using... you need to collapse them about to the halfway channel so you can grip both handles with one hand! It'll give you more leverage when tightening. just a tip.
Don't take the wheel off, uncover the bearing cover, take the cotter pin off, take a pair of channel locks, and loosen the nut, now start turning the wheel as you tighten up the bearing nut till u have resistance. Keep spinning the wheel while you do it. After you have a fair amount of resistance turn the wheel and slightly loosen the nut till your wheel is moving with just a little bit of drag. Now place your cotter pin and nut lock cover..
Your done.
Fun fact - rumors abound that Tennessee was named for the Tanasi Indians. I hope you folks enjoyed Pigs and Frogs. 😄 I lived in New Market for almost 30 years so I've been to that area tons of times.
I'm a van camper with no intention of going bigger but I just love watching you both. Keep on keeping on. 😊😉
We've now taking on a project ourselves (awning mechanism). Can't get back into our seasonal travel plans until it is done. The repair struggle is real 😂
For safety you should really put a Jack stand under the axle or some leveling blocks. I wouldn’t trust just the bottle jack, in case something happens. You’re doing great!
Officially Luling Texas is now the largest where they started. Glade you are enjoying our Texas Buc-ee’s. These Texas boys did good.
and Luling is home of one of the legendary BBQ joints in Texas!! Luling City Market is a must stop!!
Enjoyed your reality presentation. Your kitty travels well in the cage - nice and safe.
Too funny you guys are!!! Such good entertainment for all to share. One of the best RV show for sure. A must watch for knowledge and entertainment.
Carl be careful. That impact wrench isn't a blood pressure cuff or stethoscope. I love how you guys just get ur hands in there and learn as u go.
Good to know! We want you two to be safe!
Great learning experience for you and everyone else. Great job.
Hey Ney, when you said you wanted to "Try Something New!" - I thought you would come out of Buc-ee's in a skintight Patent Leather outfit with a Pink Mohawk! 🤣
I remember, I was yelling at the screen hoping you would realize you were doing it wrong. 😂
My husband was doing the same! He just watched this episode and quickly told me you guys were fixing it!
Husband is a farmer and we owned a trucking business for 20 years and a mechanic shop.. .. he does almost all of the work on our equipment himself.. he has saved us $$$$$ over the last 50 years.
He feels much better now that you caught it! ❤
(But Kyle, he couldn’t start an IV drip on a human.. 😍).
I was doing the same thing, I also commented realizing that it was already done when seeing the video.
Love you guys. I appreciate everything you do. Seriously.
Welcome to the Smokies! It was just recently overtaken as the largest Buc-ee's. It lasted only a few months as expected. Wish I had known you would be in our area. Guess it's time to sign up for the email newsletter. See y'all next go 'round!
A couple of points. When using a bottle jack you can cllscree out the top plate to help meet the frame so you don't have to pump the jack up so far to begin with. Also, get a large crescent wrench as well as a 1/2" socket set that goes to 1 1/2". They will come in handy and you will not regret having them.
Try setting #4 on your Milwaukee. You'll see that it breaks the lug loose but then slows so that you can stop it before it spins the lug too far off until you are ready. Then use setting #1 or #2 when reinstalling. This ensures you do not over torque before you complete the process using the torque wrench.
Great Job Hanks!!! That way you were using the channel locks could be called a knuckle BUSTER!!! They do make a socket for a 3/4" ratchet to fit that nut. Granted it's not cheap and you won't use it that often, but when you do need it, it's GREAT to have!! Ya'll continue to have fun and be safe!!! Do NOT get complacent when it comes to safety!!!! 🙂
Great video thanks guys
So funny! Love watching you two!
Get yourself an 1 1/4” socket (confirm size before buying), torque to 50ft lbs while spinning the drum, back off and then finger tighten. Tekton has 1/2" drive deep chrome sockets that work very well for this and don't break the bank.
At the very least use a crescent wrench instead of channel locks.
And there are things you need to know before doing certain jobs. You can get someone killed by doing unsafe work.
Watching you guys do RV projects always puts a smile on my face! Assignment completed like two true ED nurses. 🤣 It is worth a few minutes wait to get the bulk jerky at Buc-ee's. It is cheaper than the prepackaged jerky and seems to be fresher. I am SO excited that we are getting the first Buc-ee's in NC about 30 min from where we live. Safe travels!
I love that area of TN. My sister lived there. She moved a few years ago sure miss going.
Let's be clear here. There are certain repairs that if you don't know what you're doing, you can get yourself or others hurt or worse, killed. Wheel separation is one of those things that is very real and very dangerous and HAS killed many innocent people in the past. I don't fault anyone for wanting to do their own repairs but, there comes a time that you just have to say to yourself that you really don't know what you're doing, and qualified help is needed. Safe travels and always think about others as well as yourself when it comes to critical repairs.
Great job. I loved the lead-up footage to Buc-ee's. Thanks for the laugh.
Love Buc-ee’s We were just there. Have a great time in Pigeon . Kyle you look like you have been working out 💪🏻💪🏻? My husband and I Love watching you guys!,
YES, Buc-ees in Pennsylvania would be great. We also need a rebuild on I-78. 😂😂
Only instance I have ever seen people eat Buc-ee's food while sitting down.
You have accomplished the rare feat.
Now if only Buc-ee's could find some space in their mega complex for some picnic tables.
Thanks! Hanks
Made me feel better knowing that you took the time to check the bearings. Better safe than sorry. Btw my go to at Buccees is the bbq turkey and a rice crispy treat!
Thank you for sharing a great video.
This was a lot of fun 😊
Thank you for sharing!
I LOL'd when you slipped the wrench of the nut and gasped. HAHA
Carl is looking jacked in this video! 🙂
You did a good job with rework! Have a safe trip!
Nice video. Made me laugh several times 😂😂
Couple of small notes from a gearhead, and for your safety:
1) adjust the channel licks correctly so you can use one hand, that’s how they are designed.
2) jacking a wheel up should normally be done under the spring plate or as close to hub. Unless the frame of the trailer has specific points built into it for jacking, you’re risking bending or breaking the frame. Also, looked like your bottle jack was a little small. They make 12,000 lb and 15,000 lb bottle jacks; the ones in the truck are usually not sufficient for big ol trailers like yours.
Stay safe and happy!
Love the show!!
The impact wrench means you can most likely remove the lug nuts after jacking because of the impacts instead of constant torque. You likely want a high setting when removing the wheel to get the nuts loosened. However, you should check the manual for the torque specs of each position and when tightening the nuts, do so to a setting lower than the expected torque on the wheel nuts. Then use your torque wrench to finish the job to spec.
We have just "TRIED TO GO TO BUCK-EES" just outside of Nashville. I say tried because when we got off the high-way there was a 1.5 mile line going into Buck-ees. 1 1/2 hour later we hadn't even gotten to the gas pump. NEVER AGAIN!
Great video guys
Another great video! Thank you so much for making such a good content!!!!!!❤
How do you guys stay fit and healthy on the road? Love ur videos! Always fun hanging out!
I totally understand the Buc-ees' facination. I LOVE white cheddar Buc-ees nuggets. I stocked up when I knew it would be the last one until we get to Texas in October. Pat loves the jerky also. Buc-ees Rocks, Rolls and is the Bomb.
How are you doing, you asked.
- No need to pre-lossen the lug nuts when you use a real impact.
- You can shake the tire left right and up down to check for excessive play in the bearings.
- Personally I like to place the bottle jack under the axel not the frame, if accessible.
- Speaking of bottle jack...unsrew the top too raise the height, so you arent jacking all day with those big guns.
We were on vacation in the Outer Banks. We live just 40 minutes from Pigeon Forge. I was so bummed when I saw the dates for this rally. I know everyone had a great time. Can't hardly wait for next weeks video. Glad you got the trailer brakes fixed. I just take our travel trailer to have that done. God bless.
We're getting a Buccees here in AZ west of Phoenix on Interstate 10. 🎉
We ran into peeps in Pittsburgh last week that was from Wisconsin and they had a Bucees shirt on. I pointed to his shirt and gave a thumbs up. We chatted for a while about how we all love Bucees. lol. 😅😅
Don't feel bad,my transmission is giving out and I'm in the middle of the desert with the baby and my wife.We have been in the desert for 2 years now. We usually hire someone to move are 5th wheel because we have no truck but we got a Jeep and a whinnying sound coming from the transmission. Also a mouse went in are underbelly RV and made a mess, now i removed the underbelly and now spiders and bug's coming inside the rv. I'm going to get plywood or something today to cover the bottom RV. It's a big challenge to live in the middle of the desert. I'm thinking about having my rv moved to the mountains or something its very hot.
OK, I appreciate that you're learning. Respect for trying. OTOH, your actions can affect others. Having a wheel fly off on the freeway can get someone killed. Not trying to be dramatic, but the resources are out there to learn before you attempt to repair.
You guys have so much fun at Buc-ee's. My wife and I can't go in there together cuz someone has to stay with the dog. Boo-who!
Glad you got that wheel fixed and fixed before the you damaged the bearings. You two in Buc-ee's were like kids in a candy store 😂. I haven't been to buc-ee's yet! I KNOW IT! went by the one on 95 near Florence, SC but it was so busy I kept going right on by. Maybe one day I'll go and I'll be sure to look around for you two. Have a great time in Pigeon Forge My favorite place. which I could be there. Safe travels hugs to Dexter.
Harrisonburg, VA Bucee’s opening sometime in 2025. Can’t wait!
Bravo for tackling that fix, I like the more serious side.😅
Sometime soon Hanks,i would be getting the rear differential servived along with a transmission serviced.
You all are the best. I am looking forward to what Grand Design does with your RV. My wife and I have a bet that you come away with a new RV??? lol. Wish I could be at the rally. Have fun.
