    They make torque wrenches for a reason, impact hammering the bearing with that impact can cause premature failure. They also list preloads for the bearing to insure bearing is at proper torque to prevent overheating and damage to races.

    I think the only reason anybody builds a car with pressed-in bearings is to discourage owners from replacing their own
    so that they'll (maybe) have the dealer shop replace the bearings and then do a front-end alignment. Bolt-in bearings mean that the owner can do it himself pretty easily without removing the strut bolts or needing an alignment (unless the car already needs one). Although I ran into a friend's car (a Ford) with one of the bearing bolts put in backwards with the head facing the CV joint; a clever way to make the job harder for the owner to do.

    6:29 I did this and the hub pushed out the ID of the new bearing, ruining it. After getting a new bearing and supporting the ID, it went on but I'm still unsure how far to put the hub into the bearing. I was using a huge hydraulic press so when the gauge showed any pressure we stopped

  • @707SonomaComa

    Oh man. I use a caliper hanger for the caliper, never hit the top of the tie rod stud, use a slide hammer to remove the hub instead of pounding on the back of it with a sledge hammer, since the hub was already out I use an air hammer to PUSH the wheel studs in throgh the back of the hub instead of pulling it throgh by the threads, torque the bearing to its actual PROPER specifications, torque the wheel properly as to not screw up anymore wheel studs all before doing an alignment as the steering knuckle was removed and there is a good chance the camber is not in spec.
    That would be the correct way to do things.
    But you are wearing sun glasses IN the shop so I guess that's cool...

    If i may weigh in!! Couple points from doing many front wheel bearings myself and seen damage by different techniques. If you not reusing the bearings then you can hammer out the hub and then cut the outside bearing as he showed or if its not too stuck on use 2 long jimmys either side and lever it off. both ways will not damage hub. However when you replace stud you need to support under the stud if you going to wack it through instead of put one side in vice and leave other end and hammer at that long arm distance can bend hub just 1/2 mm leaving wheel wobble and hub ruined. These are precise items and can be bent even though very strong. Support it!! Dont pound old bearing out as stress on Hub cast is severe and once damaged thats game over. You have press or bolt and drifts for pressing new bearing in, press out old bearing and hub! and clean inside hub and apply little grease then press in carefully straight new bearing till it bottoms on lip on hub and install circlip. install seals if app & Spin and should be totally free unless seals installed which will provide some drag as lips rub on metal. I use a small 1 foot sledge when pound out hub and other times around items that need it only. Dont pound on end of CV shaft or you round the end thread, put nut on or use rubber mallet or smaller punch to hit end. Also if you have variable McPherson bolt positions, mark carefully before removal otherwise the camber will be way off when you re tighten then without knowing how far in or out the strut is when you tighten. You might need to take to shop for $$ realignment but you can buy a small $15 camber gauge from ebay you can attach to wheel to keep adjust till you get both sides same and correct figure. I do everything myself on my car and always use some care and NOT brute force and always remember these may be tempered steel, but they are precision parts and also could fail under stress driving if you wail away with a 1 meter long sledge- consider that!! Final POINT. it ok to use rattle gun to remove CV nut but DO NOT use it to put it on . I tighten with bar and spin bearing to help seat like any other bearing you would do always spin while tighten THEN do final tighten with torque wrench eg 200-300nm and rotate. A rattle gun hammers twisting violently which can be same as short sharp pounding with sledge on those bearings. You may get away with it once but after you go for drive you may get home to discover that wheel is HOT and other wheel cold- Congrats you just ruined your new bearing...

      Thanks, i can get a bit "wordy" at times but i generally collate good and bad of a dozen videos on the same thing and hi-lite important "safe" points and dont mean to "pick" on one poster's video as i love watching them and learn stuff myself. But IMO just so readers can ask themselves as eg, should i freeze a bearing and torch a hub so the bearing can just pop straight in? Great but now you have stressed/expanded the cast hub? and frozen and cooked bearing grease which has thermal limits? so how will the bearing last/fail now when installed? I dont know if that method is reliable? but old way of pressing in is only way of doing bearing without risking heat damage and is safe and proven way. always use common sense and "book" practises when in doubt on repairing anything.

      Okay, update time. I used my drimel and created a small U-shaped cut out (smoothed it out with the polisher) in the shield on the inside of the wheel. Just enough and the old lug slide out and the new one in. Took about 25 minutes all in. If all you need to do is replace a broken wheel lug bolt, this might be an option. Obviously not ideal, but I had no other options beyond a tow truck or highly expensive repair I do not need.

Time is money and I guarantee the people that I do work for would want me to take the quickest easiest route that is perfectly fine and safe, while saving them every dollar possible because the longer i spend and harder I have to work equates to a higher bill for customers and nobody likes a higher bill, so I ask them what and how they want me to do the job and guess what damn near every single customer says, if it isn't going to affect safety by all means slightly grind down edge of flange on stud compared to disassembling entire knuckle and pressing and replacing bearing and etc for a wheel stud. Some shit just isn't feasible, but I would love to hear how I'm wrong. Decent video and many ways to accomplish a task, while I may not agree with all ways people do shit, to each is own.

    • @spelunkerd
      @spelunkerd 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Two kinds of wheel bearings, pressed-in and bolt-on. This is pressed in. These pressed-in bearings corrode and seize between the inner race of the bearing and the hub. The hub can only come off by pulling it out, and the bearing usually comes off by pressing it in. So, when you try to get the hub off, the bearing will break at the weakest junction, leaving the inner half of the bearing with the hub and the outer half with the knuckle. Surprisingly there isn't really a better way to do that with pressed-in bearings. No matter how you get the hub off the bearing usually grenades. The part you are asking about is the inner race, stuck in the hub. Sometimes you get lucky and can press the inner race off, but often there isn't enough of a lip on the race to grab onto. So, the usual approach is to use a cutting wheel on a grinder and score the inner race. Then you use a cold chisel and try to crack the race. The race is made of hard brittle steel, so it cracks fairly easily. It is very easy to let that grinder slip and damage the hub, sometimes so much that the hub needs to be replaced. Once the race is cracked you can get something behind and pry it off. Application of heat may help to release the inner race. If you're going to take this to a shop, they can do it all, just bring in the hub and knuckle and new wheel bearing. This video is a reminder to use shops that don't mangle your lug bolts, requiring expensive repair....

    I need to do this on my 2014 Elantra. Is there a way to replace the wheel bearing as an entire unit so I don't have to get the bearing pressed on? Local parts store says no.

    • @LehewTech
      @LehewTech  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Unless you replace the entire spindle you have to press that bearing in. You can buy a used spindle cheaply, but the danger is that it may also have a bad wheel bearing.

    I love that i have a guy that i can go to, just to do the heavy stuff, like pressing bearings and torching some real nasty stuck bolts.
    I do 90% in my driveway, but when it comes to specialty jobs like swapping out bearings, he charges me a very reasonable amount to finish it off.
    Plus I always pay in cash, because i believe he pockets the money to fund his Vicodin habit.

    No doubt hitting the wheel stud damaging the threads.Charging the customer I'll bet.
    And hitting the drive axle with a steel sledge you csn cause the axles end to chip off.
    Anyone who feels they need to use a sledgehammer to do most of the work shouldn't be near someones else's automobile.

      @hedga001 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You're suppose to tighten the axle nut to the specific torque the manufacture specifies. Usually between 115 to 210 ft lbs to prevent premature wear on the wheel bearings. But this is how they make so much money on repeat customers when parts fail early! Scotty Kilmer, Chrisfix, and ETCG are the very reason I don't let these kind of people touch my cars! Lol

    • @LehewTech
      @LehewTech  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yea I've seen many cars with failed bearings that have new axles installed that were probably overtorqued. That said, Your hero ETCG has a video where he uses an impact to install a CV axle nut. In reality when you do this kind of work every day you don't have time to be autistic about torquing everything you touch with a torque wrench. Some of us know the power of the tools we use every day and know how to hit the sweet spot. Some of us dont. Dont like to gamble? Only option is to fix your car yourself and I wish you luck with that.

      As long as they aren't cross threaded and the gun is set to less than 100 ft-lb, they'll be ok. Unfortunately some mechanics dont bother to be careful--i had a shop over tighten mine and then studs started breaking off--but that's why I'm the only one that puts wheels on my vehicles anymore.

      Tried, it, it works, but not for hub removal from the bearing, only for bearing removal from the knuckle and bearing installation into the knuckle and hub installation into the bearing. To remove the hub from the bearing, I had to wail on it with the sledge hammer...

    Good video but you should really be torqueing the lugs to spec so you don't warp the rotor. Also, the axle nut but for different reasons. Why didn't you press the bearing out with the hydraulic press instead of banging it out with a hammer?

    • @LehewTech
      @LehewTech  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The work platform of the hydraulic press is too narrow for the hub to fit so there is no clearance for it to be pressed out. Axle nut spec is a bit over 200ftlbs, id say im about there. The lugs got torqued 2 spec when I set the car on the ground.
