Being a mechanic by trade generally I don't watch videos like this but I've never done a wheel bearing on a Nissan before so I thought I would check this out quickly. This is a very nicely done how to video and you definitely just save me from breaking off the ABS sensor lol
It looks like the newer Rogues have a different design that doesn't have the outer ring. I am going to try and change mine out tonight. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Now I'm optimistic. I've done a lot of my own work, including replacing front struts and brakes on a 1999 Voyager, but I've always been a Chrysler guy (back to that 1962 Plymouth Fury...). But now my parents' Nissan Rogue has bad front bearings, and they can't afford a mechanic. I think I can do this thing, now. Thanks a lot!
Did you ever get it done? I have a Nissan Rogue 2015 that's making a terrifying howling noise when accelerating and a friend told me it's a bad bearing. Any tips?
@@Pingaheimer Yes, I did the job, and it came off successfully with assistance from the advice in this video. Some tips: Have plenty of GOOD penetrating oil. I use Kano Kroil, obtained via mail order; it's the best I know. A Harbor Freight or Northern Tool impact wrench and metric socket set is inexpensive and makes the job go much, much easier. You'll need a 32mm socket for the big nut at the end of the axle. Also, it's best to plan on replacing the castle nut and cotter pin which holds it in place (Nissan dealer, although your auto parts store might have a Dornan equivalent). Have it in hand before beginning the job. Personally I'd prefer using an OEM-spec bearing assembly over the Cheap Chinese Crap which was all that my parents could afford at the time...but, well, a month after the job was completed a semi sideswiped them and the Rogue was totaled (they're fine). Would have been wasted money in the end. Good luck! Edit: As they say in the video, be very very careful of that ABS sensor and wire!
That ring that holds the ABS sensor in place is removable. You don't have to remove the ABS sensor (which will break). You can pry the ring off the old one (in PA it takes a lot of bending and elbow grease) before you pound the hub and bearing out. Then you can take the new ring off (much easier) and snap it back on after you install it. It's not welded or held on with anything. Just the pressure of being against the axle I believe.
If you are asking how i knew the wheel bearing needed to be replaced, the answer is, the right front had a grinding/howling sound at highway speeds. So the owner asked me to replace bother wheel bearings just for future maintenance.
@@FreddysCarsaAndChaos I've been reparing cars professionally for 40 years, and have had my own shop for 26. Master ASE and L1 since '88. I don't have the time or the desire to be a "UTube Star" like you. I'm also sometimes too busy fixing other shop's F'ups and "repairs."

Going to try and do mine today this video helps so much thank you!!
No problem! Be sure to watch the entire video for key details!
Lol my sensor did break, unexpected $140! And yes big thank you for this video as I dont think I would have done it without you!
Super unfortunate that pretty much every car has that issue. Thanks for watching! Glad it helped you out!
Should’ve watched this after mine today, had to angle grinder off the threads up until the cottage pin hole
Very helpful video
Appreciate the vid helped my brother a lot
Helped a lot. Thanks!

Good tip!!
Thanks for sharing.
did u change it in pairs so both wheels get changed though 1 is bad?
did u need to do alignment since disconnecting the strut bolts?
How much does cost get fix
what error did it have? , or what made the wheel or how the fault is perceived, could you please comment

How much do the lab repair cost. If I buy my own parts?
It books for roughly 1hr so it all depends on the mechanics rates. Anywhere from 90-120 dollars.
I'd be surprised if it doesn't come down with a RF ABS sensor code with all that tension on the ABS sensor wires...
Done it probably 50 times before and after on multiple brands of vehicles. Never a problem as long as the tension is kept to a minimum.
@@FreddysCarsaAndChaos Wow. I can't think of a response that isn't unprofessional or impolite.
@@Stratifying well when you start posting repair videos you can do them your way? Sounds fair to me.

Had a girl in ag class get hit by a wire from across the shop in her eye ball
AAAAAA+
It would be more helpful without music..
Opinion noted.
Wtf is the constant clicking noise? Very distracting.
It might be the song that's playing in the background. Sorry about that.
@@FreddysCarsaAndChaos otherwise excellent video. Thank you.
@@jamesjohnson8661 no problem! Thanks for the feedback it will be noted.
