Man I’m in the hotshot business and this happen to me 500 miles from my house. I was looking thru videos and ran into yours. Best video explanation ever. Save me a lot of money from a mechanic. Stop and did the work myself at a truck stop. Thank you so much.
I like how you showed the struggle of getting them off. Many others would have gotten it all apart and put it back together before making the video. Thanks for keeping it real.
Dude, I appreciate your time to make this video. I’m not a master mechanic and sometimes get a little overwhelmed doing thing on my own, you can feel that I’m in over my head feeling when shit don’t go back nice or come off nice, watching you have moments of hardship while doing it, let’s me know just because its not going smooth at times not to panic. You rock, I’m doing mine this weekend.
Don’t know if you have an extra hand around but if you take and run the bolts 3/4 the way out on the back side of that hub if you can find the right size socket and extension in length you can put it on that bolt and you stick it on the bolt and should be touching the frame or anything sturdy enough on it to take the pressure and start the truck turn the wheel it will separate the bearing too so you don’t have to wear yourself out beating on it mine wouldn’t come off hitting it with a huge sledgehammer so had to come up with a different idea
Very good video. I worked for a parts store and only thing I would suggest is don’t use an impact on any of the bolts or the nut that secure the hub putting it together. SKF rep explained that it is the biggest cause of early failure because they are built to high tolerance and the impact can move the bearing race just a faction throwing them off. Fine to use it taking it apart, just not on anything putting it on. Especially the axle nut.
Nice-a-Nice! Early front wheel drive days we had to change that inner (B39) bearing - NO ASSEMBLIES then! You needed a PRESS - do NOT hit with a hammer or bearing is toast. YOU DONE GOOD (again) and we all appreciate it. Hey, that RAM is nice don't be in a hurry for a FORD but "VERY BEST" to whatever you want & do! Thanks. Sonny
Use the 4 wheel bearing bolts to push out the bearing from the hub. Back them half way out, socket and extension back to the knuckle and crank on the steering with the truck running.
Perfection at its best!!!! Thanks for sharing Mike!!! Hopefully all the effort will pay off during the summer and keep everything rolling and no down time for anything!!!!!
Uhhh Boss.... it is apparent that you aren’t a certified mechanic... because there were several parts you could have needlessly replaced just to run up the bill!!! The test drive was definitely smoother and quieter. Nice repair! My first disk brake job taught me the value of tying up the caliper. The brake line made it long enough to bleed the brakes... but not long enough to stop at the first intersection. Fortunately I was going just slow enough to clear the rear end of a pickup that was crossing the intersection. Since then, I’ve sacrificed enough coat hangers to eguip a walk-in closet! Great job putting my face right in the action. I’ve never seen that repair from the inside.
Also next time use a socket and extension on the hub bolt and have someone start and turn the wheel using the power steering as a press. My 06 I spent 4 days pounding and pounding until my buddy seen the idea and like magic it popped right off.
I just bought a 2012 ford f-250 from north Carolina and I live in Massachusetts. The truck looks like it rolled off the showroom floor. The bolts dont even have any rust on them
@@andrewstratton806 I know we are blessed with good conditions down here. I'm selling some older tractor-trailer trucks right now and the frames and undercarriage still look like new. Most of the trucks ran NC, SC, and GA and that kept everything in good condition.
I think I'm gonna have to do all 4 for my 2011 3500 mega-cab diesel. It's 'whistling' when I drive (sorta like someone blowing over a soda bottle) and the only thing I can think of is bearings -- none of my wheels move that I can tell (left-right or up-down) so I'm assuming it's just starting and they're on the way out. Not too bad at 163,000 miles (but I bought it used at 88,000 miles). Great video and thanks for showing the effort involved, lets me know I'm not about to break somethin'!
Great video! Right to the point. I have that same impact gun. Bought a 12.0 battery for it. Heavy but it's suprising how powerful it is. I had to do my universal on my 14' Ram 2500 Cummins on the passenger's side already too with only 42k on it.
Take 1 hub bolt to the hardware store. Get 2 six in bolts the same thread and cut the heads off. Thread them into the hub opposite corners and use them as a driver to help drive the old hub out.
I like the prybar idea my 2 lb sledge dinged up the rotor, will it be okay if its not sticking abover the rotor? They make drilled rotors will holes everywhere. So I assume it would be fine as long as its not sticking up.
Sometimes you can take a block of wood and put it against the hub n brace against something and start the truck and use the power steering to break the hubs loose.
That gun has great break free power I didn’t think it was going to touch the four mounting bolts. Another good how to video Boss .. you said Duty hahaha
I have a 21 model ram 2500 just replaced they will have assembly and it had the speed sensor included how do I get the ABS and traction control lights to go off now
And That Boys and Girls is how we do it in New York State. Oh Hey Mike....I'm gonna be a little late for my oil change and tire rotation tomorrow buddy.......Still bringing the donuts though. See Ya then🙃
BTDT. watched a guy do the front 2 in 45 minuets and charged 4 hrs. said the good news was if it had taken 5 hrs would have only charged 4. Still didn't brighten my day.
Thanks bud You know I don't know I'll have to take a peek at that It was a hand me down from a mechanic though so it's been with me a lot of years I put it through hell
@@DIRT-BOSS yeah hand me downs are the best, looks like it's engineered well the guts of it anyways because for being old like you say, it still works awesome
last time i had to swap a bearing on my pickup, i had to resort to the "jaws of life" aka a spreader to get the dang thing off, thing popped off the truck like a bullet
Great video. I think i would have pressure washed it first, then sprayed it down with penetrating oil, maybe use a gear puller. Might have been tempted to use that heavy equipment SVL 75? To help pull things off.
Where the hub assembly goes in use a little anti-seize you might not have to bang on it. So hard next time. Specially, if you’re up north and have a lot of salt roads winter condition. And it doesn’t matter I use anti-seize anyways.
My RAM3500 eats front wheel bearings for breakfast! On my 3rd set today and 150km on the OD!. I think Im going to dump this machine. Getting tired of the front end repairs!
What’s the torque spec I think is 135 foot pounds on those four bolts and then the hub nut it has a two torque spec torque the nut down I think 139 foot pounds and then rotate the hub About 10 times and then the final torque is 263 foot pounds
Do you torque the hub nut down I do you just use that battery impact lol And like I said that Nate needs to be torn down twice 139 foot pounds 5 to 10 times to help set the bearing Forget to 263 food pounds And I know that electric impact is not doing the job.

You have the gift of teaching and keeping it real.
Thanks
Good job Dirt Boss, thanks for listening and posting and enjoyed the video which helped break my boredom for a little while.
You're welcome buddy
great video.
I''ll be trying this tomorrow at the farm on my 2007 2500 Ram.
Thanks again
Getting all your winter repairs done.Good job Mike
Yeah just your typical maintenance up here in the Northeast
Great video Mike, now everyone knows why you're the Boss!
Haha thanks
Yeah, so he can get stuck fixing everything! Sonny

Yes I've seen that trick done before It does work good
As so many have already said...great video! I'll be looking at more of yours!
Thanks!
Boy am I glad that we don't have the rust issue down here in North Carolina. Man that rust shortens the life of good equipment.
Yeah isn't it crazy I don't know what I would do without Rust 😂
@@DIRT-BOSS May have to change the channel name to rust boss.. LOL
I just bought a 2012 ford f-250 from north Carolina and I live in Massachusetts. The truck looks like it rolled off the showroom floor. The bolts dont even have any rust on them

Good job. The worst one of these unit bearing jobs I did required an 100T press to press it out of the steering knuckle. Unbelievably stuck.

Yes I did the one on the right side also left side seat tight for now.. The gun is awesome
@@DIRT-BOSS Have a great day! Going to be beautiful today. Tomorrow 70 degrees!
Take 1 hub bolt to the hardware store. Get 2 six in bolts the same thread and cut the heads off. Thread them into the hub opposite corners and use them as a driver to help drive the old hub out.
Yes that's a good tip Thanks
WHATS UP MY PEOPLE Nice job dirt boss great explanation on how it’s done thanks for the video buddy
Thanks buddy
Getting it done! Lots of tricks for dealing with our upstate rust
Yeah it's a total different work ethic You need big hammers !
I used an extension between the frame and hub. Turn on the truck and you can use your power steering to press them off.
Yes I've seen that done before Good tip
Ironic I literally have the same issue going on right now. Poor truck is put up until I’m done with the f150. Keep up the good work dirt boss!
Nice good luck
OK, big Mike - he's my comment on the wheel bearing job - WHAT A PAIN! But you made it look easy even though you tortured those elbows, you bad boy.💪
Hey elbows knock on wood or doing good I feel the PRP shots worked !
@@DIRT-BOSS Great News!
Great video I have to do mines today
It's a good idea to antiseize the entire inside of the hub flange for the next guy.
Sometimes too much is too much
@@DIRT-BOSS Yeah, but hen you spend over an hour trying everything to bang those things off, you'll wish the guy before you had.
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏾
Awesome video, Thanks for posting!
Welcome

Yeah
Thanks man
"We're gonna clean this up with some Emory" grabs 80 grit 😂 my man
😂💯
Any suggestions on where to get an aftermarket replacement for a 2020 3500 diesel front wheel bearing with hub and ABS sensor?
Napa
So easy to use socket and extensions on the bolt heads and steer the truck and use good old hydraulic pressure to press it out
I don't have that stuff
Nice job fixing that!!👍
Thanks man
Sometimes you can take a block of wood and put it against the hub n brace against something and start the truck and use the power steering to break the hubs loose.
Yes I saw that done before That's a good one
Nice job Mike and quick 👍🏻
Thanks buddy
Thanks for making the videos.
Welcome
That gun has great break free power I didn’t think it was going to touch the four mounting bolts. Another good how to video Boss .. you said Duty hahaha
Yeah that Milwaukee I'm impressed with it every time I use it
Great Video! I have to do the same thing today!
Awesome good luck
👍💪 looks like them elbows are back in working order
Feeling good 🤞
Thanks for showing.
Absolutely
Have you had any problems with the hub at this point in time? What brand hub did you use boss? Thanks
I got that hub at Napa. I traded the truck in that winter
Great video sir, absolutely perfect 👍😎
Thanks man
I have a 21 model ram 2500 just replaced they will have assembly and it had the speed sensor included how do I get the ABS and traction control lights to go off now
Dealer mine didn't go off
Good stuff
Good vid bro. Brightened my morning. But still have to change these F$%K#$S
And That Boys and Girls is how we do it in New York State. Oh Hey Mike....I'm gonna be a little late for my oil change and tire rotation tomorrow buddy.......Still bringing the donuts though. See Ya then🙃
Lol yes sir ! NY Strong 💪🏼
How are the bearings holding up on the other side.🤔
I checked them they seem to be good who knows maybe I took more right turns
Awesome 👌
Just imagine paying the labor rate to someone to do this.
BTDT. watched a guy do the front 2 in 45 minuets and charged 4 hrs. said the good news was if it had taken 5 hrs would have only charged 4. Still didn't brighten my day.
Thanks for sharing mike, appreciate it, what brand of ratchet is that you were using, looks like it's a good brand, never seen that kind before.
Thanks bud You know I don't know I'll have to take a peek at that It was a hand me down from a mechanic though so it's been with me a lot of years I put it through hell
@@DIRT-BOSS yeah hand me downs are the best, looks like it's engineered well the guts of it anyways because for being old like you say, it still works awesome
@@derrickpettit3489 I saw it said, "WILLIAMS" on it. Sonny
You no your stuff dirt boss 😃😃👍👍🍻🍻
Just out of curiosity what was the total elapsed time start to finish
About an hour or so
@@DIRT-BOSS not bad
Thanx a million friend!
What camera do you have? I love the quality of your videos.
GoPro 7 black
last time i had to swap a bearing on my pickup, i had to resort to the "jaws of life" aka a spreader to get the dang thing off, thing popped off the truck like a bullet
Jeez yeah they could be tricky
Good job buddy!!
Thanks man appreciate it
Great video thx..
Welcome
How long did that take you
I can't remember I'm sure I said it at the end of the video but it was an hour at least
Was you abs sensor in the way of the axle shaft?
No I don't think so
@@DIRT-BOSS Just checking, thanks for replying.
nice job
Thanks bud
Dirt Boss What kind of impact is that? and are you happy with it
Yes it's a Milwaukee 2767 and I am very impressed with it
An almost rust free under carriage compared to a Syracuse truck. And the hub bolts are a dealer only item. BIG $$ Put the old ones back.
I hear you man You're in the snow belt!
What kinda work boots are those ?
Chippewa's
Torque specs for wheel bearing is ???
Tight is right 😳
I would have used some PB Blaster and made it much easier
TV blaster only works if you let it soak plus it smells super bad but I do love it too!
What size socket for the axel nut
I don't remember I'm sure I said it in the video
I wached your vid just for the torque spec 4 wheel bearing jaja still good though
Righty tighty
Lovely old job
Thanks buddy
👍👍
