Hyundai Santa Fe: Rear Wheel Bearing
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ต.ค. 2024
- In this video I am swapping out the rear wheel bearing on a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe. It's AWD and an easy bearing to replace. At least for a rust belt car it is.
-Enjoy!

Native Santa fean here. Yes Eric, Santa Fe is the capitol of NM and the oldest capitol city in the USA
I appreciate the way you took time of your work day to make videos like this really appreciate it.
I just did the front bearings on the wife’s 2002 Liberty Sport, they were so seized on I had to use the cutting torch to get them off, your right about domestic auto makers they could’ve used some ingenuity back then.
Man that came out super easy compared to replacing a rear bearing on an AWD Ford Edge!
Eric, every once in a while you get lucky and get an easy one! Along with all the helpful tips your commentary was once again priceless. I agree we should all be kind to our animals. Thanks for Sharing!
Some days you get the bear;
Some days the bear gets you.
Way easier than front wheel bearings on my daughter's 03 Outback. Didn't involve a hydraulic press or a torch. Thanks to you I got it done though. You showed me the tip of getting the race off of the hub with a torch. Worked like a charm. Thank you Eric O!
got me some ice cream, A&W and mtn dew and a sma video, god has blessed me
As much as I hate my Chevy Cruze the wheel bearings are very similar to these and are very easy to replace. Keep up the fantastic work fella 😉
I always use the carwash at Mobil stations here in Illinois. They have touchless with the undercarriage douch. Also have a couple of spray cans of fluid film around. My mechanic say the undercarriage looked like new at my last oil change. My Outback is 10 years old and always driven in northern illinois but always washed and garaged.
As a bearing aficionado, I love me some bearing videos.
so are these the bearings for a 02 santa fe?
Always nice to see Mrs. O, no mater how briefly.
You are the man Mr. O appreciate your videos.
Another day, another SMA Video.
Had a rough night and a bad start to my morning. A hot cup of coffee, a biscuit and an SMA Video brightened the mood immensely.
Thanks Eric. Thank you for that video. I know that sometimes the day to day business can seem monotonous and the stuff you do "is just your job". Some days I wish I could help out as a part time job in stuff like that. My job is IT heavy - that means pushing mails and spreadsheets. You don't even see what you have done at the end of the day.
Keep up the great work and I appreciate your videos - even if it's the 500th Bearing swap. Always relaxing and always entertaining to see you work.
Being a animal lover myself. I love how you also love your critters.
NIce shout out to Mexico. I graduated from Santa Fe.
Even though you work on cars, i find it very intertaining, even though i work on cars too, i would rather watch your chanel, keep up the good work and the humor.
Hyundia had a bit of a bad rep for a long time here in the uk, mostly undeserved but I think it meant they worked much harder to actually make really good cars both value and spec. Great work as ever Mr O
Working at a salvage yard I learnt two things, Hyundais keep the doors open and there stupid simple to take apart. No crazy non sense, straight forward from start to finish and come apart realitivily easy imo, and I live in the rust belt
Sitting here in a tractor with auto steer watching Eric change another junk bearing. Life don’t get much better.
Wow
That just proves your wonderful character. You know it will be traded or sold , yet you did the correct thing. Kudos fine sir
Dang Skippy I'm glad to see that I was actually easy no torch no hydraulic press no chain hook to the side of the building with a come along wow good job man
Hey Eric , Grey Shop Cats are the best ! My Grey cat greeted customers, ate the spiders and crickets, and would always lie on my service manuals. They are also very practical as the grey fur hides the dirt ! lol
The Santa fe was afraid of the possibility of meeting big nasty and decided to cooperate. Nice to have jobs that don't kick your butt. Thanks for all your hard work!
A wheel bearing and a visit with Luna! Perfecto! 🙂
Quick go by a Lottery ticket with that luck.😂 Just did a 2011 Kia Rondo rear bearing and presprayed everything a couple of days before because we live in the salt belt too.👍
Eric, you are not only an excellent technician, husband, father, human being and friend, but you are also a great polyglot. Greetings from Tijuana. 🇲🇽. Mexico. 👍👍👍. 🖖😳
Its Sunday evening changed some brakes and 2 bad wheel bearings on my jeep patriot so they don't go bad on my commute and now i'm winding down watching Eric O do some lol. I used your patriot videos just to see what i was in for.
Just did two front wheel bearing hubs on a 2012 Ram up in the Peoples Republic of Ontario for the last 8 hours. They fought me every-single-inch of the way! Chisels, air hammer, sledge and a 1/2 gallon of penetrating oil. Bruised cut and tired but I won. The truck put up a fight but gave in. Now I'm relaxing all proud at my accomplishment watching you knock out a bearing hub in less than 14 minutes. Sighhhh.

Thanks Eric, I just bought a Hyundai Santa Fe, Good to know You approve of the engineering.
Hello Mrs O
Good to see you got an easy wheel bearing replacement job Eric. Your commentary more than made up for the lack of carnage. I would love to say Luna loves you, but being a cat, she really only wanted you to let her in. Now if it were one of your dogs, then they would definitely show you their love!! Every one should be kind to their pets, they are 100% family.
30 wheel bearings and I love the videos. Keep them coming. Thanks SMA
Really appreciate how you 'think out loud'. I always learn some interesting tidbit.
Herro, My name is Ha-yoon Kim. I'm carring from Hyundai North America with some great new about your 2017 Santa Fe. We would like you to know that our engeneers have worked hard to create wheel bearings that meet or exceed our competition with the added benefit of being very easy to replace if that is needed. Those same engineers are responsible for your engine using an excessive amount of oil. The failure rate is near 100%. You can rest easy knowing that we have set aside $2 billion this year to cover the warranty of these engines.
Every single manufacture has shortcomings.
Lol must be a "Chevy Guy"
@Phillip Banes I never said otherwise. I only mentioned Hyundai because they were in the news this past week TheDrive. They discussed the 2 billion for bad engines. Our guy was working on a Hyundai in this video and the Engineers did good on the wheel bearings. Not every comment on YT lacks substance.
Nice to see one go easier ! Almost as if it was a southern car !
After it was so nice to you, I thought you'd spray the hub, and backing plate with fluid film. Especially where you ground off the crusty-rusty....
......How do you distinguish the CV joint being bad, or the wheel hub bearing being bad....
Nice to have a job where everything goes right for once. Nice work!
You need to have a two camera system playing .One for your veiwers watching you diagnose and fix vehicles and the other for Mrs O.
One of the best videos I've watched. Down to earth guy.
Jesus! When you scraped the rust out of that first bearing bolt, I blew on the screen. LOL!! I can't even watch videos without trying to get involved. XD
Oh the wonders of salt and how it loves wheel/axle bearings! Nice job Mr. O.
The bottom of the caution sign on the wall that is visible under the strut from 11:30 to 13:10 is great!
I'm retired and caring for my disabled wife. I have been watching your videos and enjoy them very much. You are just one of a very few mechanics/techs that are trustworthy.
A moment to salute the engineers who came up with this design.
And thank you Eric !
Now you jinxed yourself. That was mother natures way of lulling to sleep. Soon it will be wet and salty and you’ll reflect on this easy one with a fondness that seems so distant. In February you’ll opine, “Remember that Hyundai wheel bearing that practically took itself apart. Man, those were the good old days”. Great job and thanks for the video. It’s a nice to start my 4am morning with chicken taco’s, coffee, and some Ugga-dugga’s
A dream of all shadetree mechanics.... a job that just comes apart easily....
Nice to see something that wasn't rusted shut!
How many watch the video to the end to see how Eric segways into the Comment end part of the video? It's my 2 or 3 favourite parts of the videos. They are clever and funny and sometimes I need a cerebral laugh.
*Thank You* for the videos Dr O 👍 (or was it Dr Oh? 🤷♂) 😁
Nothing like good old fashioned hand tools.Great video as always Eric O. have a Great week.
Eric, you make it seem so easy!
Great video once again.
I have wheel locks and always remove them before any service/inspection due to needing them replaced after prolong usage of an impact on them.
Well done Mr O . Glad you made me look 👀. I can’t do it but I can second guess anybody now thanks to you.
Got some Luna time, made my day!
Nice to get an easy one once in a while and no video would be complete without a Mrs O cameo.
My 2005 Toyota Corolla right rear hub assembly was replaced in the spring. The sound was awful especially on the highway. The faster u went the louder it got. It was loud. My mechanic had a hell of time getting it off. Sledge hammer and heat. It was on there good. I was glad when it was fixed lol
I'd never heard of Fluid Film until your channel but they have started stocking it at my local Home Depot near Seattle, so now I have a can! It's probably all due to you.
Must be the engineer that designed the bearing mount worked as a mechanic to put Himself through college.
Love me some wheel bearing videos. Classic ugga dugga. You're the best! Thanks Eric.
Eric, is this the scam deal y'all were telling us about, or did you really hand-pick me out of you jillions of fans to give a gift to?
“The whole thing is great” something i never thought id hear Eric O say. Other than about Mrs O
I love the sound of a wheel bearing humming on a road trip.
You got it mr O that one was so easy
I was hoping for an appearance by BIG NASTY! Great video Mr O!
as a lifelong resident of NC, I had no idea what "PRNY" stood for in this clip. I learned with a quick google search "People's Republic of New York" and that had me good. LOL Thanks Mr O for another lesson in life! :D
I tryed out a new Sonata back in 2014 , never had any issues with it up to now, planning to keep it for another 3 to 4 years, being a Honda fan, i am impressed with the Hyundai wich was also cheaper $10,000. Than a equivalent Accord.
TY Sir , excellent video mate. Some days you just win win all day and glad this was an easy one for you to tackle. Also a win for us we saw Luna and the lovely Mrs O as well.
hugs to you and your loved ones mate
Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘❤❤
Thanks glad to be back😊
Thank you for the video Eric. REar Wheel hub on this vehicle look easy, peasy to do. My wife has a 2013 hyundai sante fe. I have a feeling I'm going to be changing out the rear hub soon. I can hear a slight hum from the rear
You are correct my Friend, Santa Fe does translate as Holy Faith! Classic Eric O!!
That’s a very timely video. I have a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe. And while changing from my summer tires to winter tires yesterday I grabbed the tire at 3 and 9 o’clock and noticed there was quite a bit of wiggle, so I’m thinking the wheel bearing is shot too, but it’s still quiet as a mouse. Maybe I’ll have to take Eric up on his word “If I can do it, you can do it.”
You didn't mention front or rear, but either way you should grab at 12 and 6 instead
Another great video. Learn something new with every video. Thanks
My son recently replaced both axles on my 2011 Honda Odyssey. Having watched you do multiple axles and wheel bearings, I wanted to put some fluid film on the inside of the part where the axle goes like you did in this video. He said we shouldn’t. He’s an apprentice mechanic, level 2 (so he has one more year before he can get licensed). So I wanted to know why this might be okay or why some might say not to do this. Thanks!
It won't help or hurt it's operation. We fluid film ours or give it a light coating of grease/anti sneeze when we assemble. The main purpose is to ensure the next time it needs to be dissembled or monkeyed with- It won't be seized up in the hub. It's only a very light coating and no need to go hog wild with it.
I own the 2014 version of this car and the rear shocks need changing so this video is very useful to help me see what I’ve got to do. Thanks Eric 👍
Nice clean job...."Pumpkin".....
Thanks for taking the time to make this, I have a 2014 Santa Fe and need to get this done. I am wondering how difficult this job will be without a lift. Looks like an easy task with the lift.
You deserve an easy one sometimes Eric! Another Great Video! Appreciate all you do! 👍
People always crap on Hyundai and KIa, but they make them easy to work on. Tons of room in the engine bays, and designed for easy replacements.
Always enjoy your videos Eric. Thank you and cheers fro Australia.
I watch all of your videos and see the trials and tribulations, nice to see one go smoothly. But it is the experience that counts also. Job went too quick, no lunch for you :)
Eric, another good video which I am sure will be helpful to Hyundai owners. Thanks for showing us how.
Replacing bearings and keeping yours. Very proper again. Nice.
210 FT POUNDS? When i replaced the steering box and pitman arm on my 96 Grand Cherokee i left the old pitman arm on and replaced the new box with a new pitman arm, torque was about 200 pounds, a lot laying on my back, my torque wrench went up to 150 so i hit 150 then a breaker bar maybe another 1/8 of a turn. I recently bought a 2023 Tuscon SEL AWD with the convenience package. 31 mpg highway is certainly respectable for a SUV, cruises at 70 mph revving only 2000 on level ground with the new 8 speed and makes acceleration acceptable. Smart CC automatically downshifts to maintain speed on inclines and also declines along with braking, simply amazing. I was thinking of a new Grand Cherokee but for the huge price difference i went with the H.
Pumpkin smells those YUMMY treats==lol
Oh Goodie!!!!!!!!!! another masterpiece by Eric O. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Eric
Mr O, Mrs O! Thanks for posting!
Finally! I can do this job!! Lol I bought some stuff from your store, your tool recommendations are spot on.
Wow. that is so much easier than on my 2007 "CM" Santa Fe with AWD. With that you have to disconnect quite a few of the suspension items just to get the clearance to get the CV out.
I love your channel. I would never own or even work on something like this but you entertain. Yes. Entertain. You amuse me. Say hey to mrs O
These broke down often when these cars where new. In Finland i needed to have these in stock. Even the renewd bearings needed replace... Thank g*d its not difficult...
This is the first time I have ever seen the introduction not be your typical enthusiastic "Welcome back to the south main auto channel! We got your kia'r with the big 2.0!" ahahaha
Used up a week's supply of easy on that one.
Brilliant as always Lad. Nice to get a break now and then. Top job.
Great video in case my daughters 2013 will need one. Your the best.
When I did mine on 2015 accord I did both sides. They were only slightly noisy but my theory is if one is done do both to avoid doing the other one later.
Very useful. I will attemt to do mine soon. Mines a 58 plate but they look the same.
Nice to get an easy fix once in a while!
Eric,
Great video and repair - thsnk you!
I was a bit surprised at the way you hammered on the end of the axle without the nut on there or something to protect the threads.

Paul (in MA)
Rest assured, the engine is huge.
Not sure i would use grinding tool, But looks like easy job to do. Need to do my Hyundai Veracruz right rear bearing soon. Great video.
As always you made another excellent video Eric!
both of the rear wheels on my 2005 santa fe went smoothly too and I am in syracuse.
Like that it is seize proof! Nice work Mr. O!
That is one loud, gray kitty!
