I replaced my engine a year and a half ago. And then the transmission earlier this year. I've been trying to avoid shops and do all the work myself. But this, I think I'll let the shop handle it. Great video, you saved me a lot of headache lol!
It was my pleasure. I have been dreading changing the transmission. Any tips? I have been looking for a used one and they are not very easy to find locally.
What year is your Mirage? How many miles did you have on the original 3A92 engine and JATCO CVT7 before you had to replace both? The powertrain on these simple Mirages are usually very reliable.
Jeez your old snap ring looked fine compared to mine! (also a 2015) Mine was so rusted one ear snapped off, had to get the cutting torch out just to remove it.....nothing like living in the Rust Belt of Ontario! Lots of good info here, thanks. One thing that I noticed is that the torque setting you used for the axle nut is a little light. The service manual says 199 ft.lbs for the axle nut.
Looking forward to this. Gonna be nice and fun after years of winter driving.
Good luck! Bring a lot of patience and be ready to take a lot of frustration breaks. Lol
You just earned a new subscriber. I have a 2015 Mirage. No issues with the bearing...YET! I have to replace the CV axle, so I came here to find out what size of nut is holding the axle on (32 mm - thank you!). I ended up watching the whole video, though. I REALLY like the fact that you recorded EVERYTHING, including your mistakes. We all make them, we're just not willing to fess up to it. It's better to learn from somebody else's mistakes because it lessens the chance of making my own. Thanks a bunch!
Thanks for the video. My 2015 ES is only at 35k, but I’m sure this will be useful whenever my bearings go out.
My pleasure! I will be adding more videos for the mirage and others so stay tuned.
James,
@@shutupanddoityourself I recently bought a 2017 G4 and it needs tires for sure and possibly wheel bearings. Looking forward to the gas mileage of the 5 speed with gas prices going up!
@@camaro2002rs I am right there with you! It is pretty rare to beat the mileage of these little cars. Just have to keep them on the road. Haha
Just unscrew the axle nut, don't need to bend the dented part. When you unthread it the dent is forced up
I went from a Dodge Ram to a Mirage ... the highway is a terrifying place. It's like driving a soup can
Lmao you’re right!
Same...over all cost of mirage is equal to my ram fuel bill in 2023..kept the ram for when needed
Thank you, dude! Well done.
You can order the lower ball joints separate.
Ok kids, gather around. So removing and pressing wheel bearings that look like the one you see in the video is best to let a shop replace it for $40 per. Simply remove the knuckles. Yes, both cause they both have the same mileage. And bring along the new parts with you. It is best to use OEM. Trust me check out eBay for actual OEM parts some desperate car dealership is willing to sell parts at cost just to turn their inventory fresh. The shops will use all-date or Michelle to get depth specs. Totally worth $40 each. I have seen that tips are good but bringing them power drinks is even gooder
Thank you for the comment. Have a great day!
Way easier to get a used low-mileage steering knuckle and swap it complete. They are all the same.
I was wondering if I could take the hub and bearing out without a press and apparently I can. I agree this thing has the worst bearing design of any car ever. The only thing that's almost as bad as this is a Kia Sedona. 4x4 rangers aren't fun either but this shit box takes the cake. Thanks for the video
I am glad I could help. Good luck!
This is a good video why did you cut the sleeve on the back side of the hub though does that have to be removed or something I don't understand and now I'm stuck there with new bearing in the knuckle and I wanted to see how it looked after assembly
I think you are talking about the race. You should replace the race if you replace the bearing as both parts wear out and are consumables. I will try and see if I can find a picture for you.
@@shutupanddoityourselfoh dude I found out the hard way I thought that wasn't Necessary and it was lmao didn't realize the new bearing already had the race installed😅🤷 I drove the hub into the new bearing and was like why won't it go in all the way. The. I snapped back to this video and said oh crap that's why he cut that brace off the hub shaft😅so tapping the hub back out I actually ruined the bearing so I had ti warranty another got it done but what a pain the ass. Man so I forgot to come back and say those rubber tie rod ends you had to cut with a sawzaw I ran into the same issue so what the ended up being is when you have it on the stand it makes the tie rod end hang further down and kind of binds on the threads so to speak my bolt was also free spinning so I took a jack and jacked the tie rod end up and that allowed the bolt the thread off. Same going on it just sat there free spinning forever unit I jacked the tie rod end up so the bolt didn't have to pull the threads though. I got it done without a press thank God just bearing race set from harbor freight,a dead blow,mini sledge and some 2x4. Also good tip on cutting the brace off the hub shaft for some reason it wasn't working on the driver side so I basically cut all the way through it so when I hit it with a flat it came right off didn't mark the shaft just taking my time with a low setting on the dremel.
@@shutupanddoityourself hell you want to know what even worse? So I was finishing the other side after I learned this hard lesson get the entire knuckle bearing and hub assembled only to realize I had forgotten the freaking snap ring. I was soooo pissed because I already knew I was about to ruin another brand new bearing like I did the day before. Thank God oReilly's was cool and just gave me the 2nd warranty without question. Now it drives good my grandma's car but still wanted it to be safe so I had to redo it on both sides via not listening to you on the brace on the first side,then on the final side forgetting the snap ring😅🤷☠️oh well live and learn
@@shutupanddoityourself and this video also applies step by step for the 2021 mirage that's the year model I just did so I assume there all the same 2015-2022
how many miles were on your Mitsubishi Mirage before the wheel bearing went bad. i have 150k miles on my Mitsubishi Mirage and wheel bearing is still good. I am trying to figure out what is wrong with my brakes right now because they are sticky and grinding for a bit after letting off the brake pedal. I have not figured out the problem yet. I think the one pad on the front brakes with the wings that needs to slide back and forth is most definately not sliding its just stuck in there so that could be it. I need to clean out the channels in there so the one break pad needs to be lubed up on its wings so it can slide back and forth. it seems like when i put new brake pads on every time there is no where near (very) enough room in there for the brake pads and rotors. I have almost zero experience at car repair though, so Diy ing the auto zone car repairs is just a guessing game for me and learning experience to say the least.
There is around 120k miles. It sounds like a groove might have been worn where the pad slides back and forth. I would check to makes sure the pads are able to slide back and forth. If there is a groove you may need to fill it by welding it or replacing the knuckle. It is difficult to say without looking at your vehicle.
How did you get the assembly off the ball joint
I cut the nut off on one side and bashed it with a hammer on the other. It was not a smooth process. The knuckle made it difficult to hit it with a hammer. I hope that helps.
You didn't have to take tie rods off
I replaced the transmission and about a month later the front drivers side hub bearing goes out....🙄. Lol
My transmission just went out as well... 😑 Did you replace it and if so, was it pretty strait forward?
@@shutupanddoityourself At what miles did your JATCO CVT7 go out in your Mirage? We're you able to do the CVT fluid replacements every 30k miles?
How many miles was on your Mirage before you had to replace the CVT?
@@kylemas2005 it was a five speed manual. It really wasn't the fault of the car. I let my now EX drive it for a summer because her car had no A/C and she had kids. She told me she knew how to drive a stick (she didn't) and drove it on some of the worst rodes for that car.
@@shutupanddoityourself yeah it was actually a pretty easy job. Trans light as heck most everything was easy to get too.
Most Japanese cars that are modern are like this.its not hard nor do i see a problem.its that you dont know what your doing but its ok learn as you go along
Thank you for the comment. Have a great day!
That's just a 28 mm nut dude... Be smarter than the part that you're trying to remove... I just want to know how the fuck you're supposed to press the bearing out of the hub assembly and get the hub out of the bearing.. The driver side front wheel bearing took a shit on my 2019 Mirage ES after my girlfriend decided to try to dodge a deer and ended up eating a ditch.
😂
