- Renault Clio 1.2 Rear Wheel Bearing Removal And Refit Including Problems. In this video we come up against a few problems removing and refitting the rear wheel bearing on a Renault Clio 1.2 so let's see how we got over the problems.
Great video, thanks. It gave me the confidence to tackle the job. Your oven temp of around 160C is about right. Just hot enough so the new bearing can be tapped home without too much brute force, but not so hot that it really fries the bearing grease. Getting the old bearing out was impossible though, mine was rusted in. But it wasn't a big issue as I was replacing the drums as well, I just wanted the old bearing to use as a drift to drive the new one home. I made my own drift out of an old steel pipe in the end.
I've been binge-watching all your videos cause I've just bought a car and would like to try to fix everything my self its good to learn new things and you have helped a ton thanks
Love your videos . You do jobs the right way. Good to see someone take pride in their work. Thanks
Your a sound guy your vids are help full n simply shown. respect my pal nice 1 n im a loyal watcher 👍
Thanks Ged
whats for dinner dad....Humm brake drum pie .Is that with chips? Of course. Cheers Martin see you for sunday dinner!!
Great vid Martin, good to see you show the pain in the backside parts of the job that others would edit out. Keep up the good work mate. Scott
Nice one buddy, keep it real!
She looks in good nick for it's age!
top job loved it very informative cheers martin
You were either going to get frostbite or third degree burns Martin! Doing bearings is such a satisfying job - once you've finished.
Now you have an excuse for a bearing press! See, there is a reason for everything. Sharon will understand.
brave man using the oven, freezer and worktops for car parts, my wife would go mental if i done that,
i get a bollocking for using the back garden slabs to fix motors on, lol.
you ever done mk2 focus rear suspension arms before ? the one the rear spring sits into ?
good work fella.
She wasn't there Alan to see the abuse of her worktops haha, Not done any Focus stuff.
Ohh, yes, love the problems, but your freezer? Did I hear right...-.8? like -1c? That's nothing, mine is -10c all the time. So, maybe wasn't frozen enough? I saw on Mustie1 YT is discontinuing video editor, he was looking for suggestions for a simple one. I'm NOT a video editor, have not a use for it. I did hear a bark out there, any chance for vids with Barney and Bison?
it should have been cold enough but they don't always go to plan. I use Sony Movie Studio 14 and you did hear Barney bri lol
Done many of these myself and finally went on-line to machine mart and bought myself a bearing press. I think I paid £130 ??. Best bit of kit I have bought and has since saved me hours trying the old methods. Sometimes you just cant beat having the right tool. Really enjoyed this video matey. Keep them coming... :)
Cheers Terrence
Thanks 🙏 man , you are great 👍
You're welcome!
Hope you chucked a chicken in there with that hub . Top work , I never like hitting new bearings in but if you haven't got a press no other way really , you can use a bottle jack and wedge the hub inside something . 👍🏻
Didn't think of that lol. Had to use what was available at the time though.
I never have any luck with the cold bearing hot drum always gets stuck, buying a 12ton bearing press years ago was money well spent, I was thinking that earlier, pressing out rear wheel bearings on a corsa c made light work of it, the bearing was out and in quicker than I took the drum off.
I tried the oven and freezer trick on a clio once and all it did was boil the grease out of the seal ruining the bearing
Another good job Martin. I notice you never wear overalls. I wear them ,and I'm still rotten when I've finished a job. I don't think I'll be laying my lump hammer into our new oak worktop though. Not unless I wanna face a firing squad in the morning. Haha . All the best. Rob.
Nice one Martin. The old tricks are the best tricks. Were you cooking that egg pie in the oven at the same time lol. Also I'm very tempted in getting a presss but can't justify it would help me out load though! Saw that cheeky extra tweak after you torqued the hub nut. I do it all the time too, you can't always trust them engineers who worked them out on a computer, they have probably never changed a wheel in their life lol.
24 hour in freezer is good and 20 min in oven i did
I'm doing an 11plate Clio 1.2,. do you know if the drums have ABS or not, having difficulty finding out.
I don't think so but don't quote me.
Do you ever get 'days' where everything goes wrong? I get 'months' like that, owning a mk2 megane, :-)
It's a pain in the ass trying to get bearings in straight sometimes, had a similar problem with fitting a humble driveshaft oil seal on a mk2 megane with the boxon the car, piece of piss off the car, just wouldn't go in even with a perfect sized drift, 2 and a half hours it took! Just kept popping out when you thought it was in.
There should be a law youtube videos shouldn't be edited! Keep in the parts with the swearing, kicking the dog, kicking the misses, misses kicking you back, tools getting thrown, hands getting slashed etc.... :-)
I get days like that all the time too lol
Great video and very useful I've got to do this job on my clio on the exact same side
Hey, nice tits Martin ( a bit like my own ). Seriously, a great vid. I was a mechanic for 40 years and always seemed to struggle when working on wheel bearings and re- bores. Love the Retro-Hax stuff. Cheers Martin.
Haha nice one Ian. My Adonis physique has slipped a bit lol
Another great video.
Another great video that shows us that we're all capable of doing these jobs .... keep up the good work Martin
good job done Martin ,you save Jimmy some money on labour lol.. cheers Steve
Well I've had these issues so many times I wonder why I bother lol but we get there in the end
Much easier on MK2 clios with no abs ring in the way
another job done
Yes well done as it is the same as a Micra K12 the circlet as all ways rusted.
I do miss the old intro martin , good job as always don't strain your nuts ! 👍
sometimes when the hubs are stubbon to pull of, try putting the whell back on with 2 bolts and use the whell as extra leverage. they usually pull off then.
Yes, Done that many times Jon, Handy having the puller though.
Cheers
Martin
Re-cyclops; brilliant tip, I was running out of swear words until I read your comment, thank you.
Great vid Martin. It’s never good when things go wrong on a job I had a gearbox mount bolt snap whilst undoing this morning took another 45 minutes to drill out and repair even the simplest jobs can go wrong.
Cheers
Jamie
You know only too well then Jamie lol
good job Martin tried that freezer
oven trick myself on a Clio
ended up with a hammer and
drift just like you did
thought it only happened to me
Yes, I've done it before with crankcase bearings on motorcycles and they dropped in a treat. Not this time though
great video mate, but on a health an safety note using your wifes kitchen for repairs can be painful on the ear:)
Haha, You've obviously been down that road lol
Great video, what size socket did you use when hammering out the old bearing?
Can't remember, sorry
Nice job Martin .I like that harmonic puller handy for mower flywheels.
Cheers Pete.
It's a hefty one Pete.
Does the job Martin . Will have to get one .
Thanks, very useful
Thanks mate, helped me a lot
good job on the car 👍
thanks Michael, I go there in the end.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Martin, another great vid gonna do mine soon, have got a drum with decent bearing from my local scrap yard. My thought is to just replace the drum and the faulty one I take off drift the bearing out at my own pace never done it so wanted to keep the car on the road in case I run into trouble, at least I will have a blue Peter one ready to go on when needed lol
great Enthusiasm for every job keep it up 👍👍
Thanks Steve, I do try lol
i hope the wife dose not see this video martin lol
No she won't Chris lol
Update done this job today all went very well, the bearing dropped straight in, thanks Martin.
Nice one, well done bud.
Do you know if the bearing have been replaced before as that came out to easy. When my mate done his he had to use a press to get it out.
It was being hit with a big hammer but don't know if it had been changed before.
8:35 MASTERCHEF BAKED REAR DRUM WITH A BEARING DRIZZLE OHHHHHH
Nice one Carl, there's a new cooking channel idea there lol
👍👍👍
Been there before with a front hub bearing never an easy way unless you got a bearing press.Luckly my mate works in a garage so he pressed out the old and put in the new 1. Forgot to ask did your drum come with chips :-P
The bearing came with new clips.
lol no i did say chips seing you put it in the oven lol
Bet the wife will be happy hammering on the kitchen side good video again bro
I did give it a pounding too Steve haha
😊
I would just buy a new brum / disc with a bearing
I didn't buy the parts Shane.
Your a man after my own heart putting a little copper slip on the wheel bolts.
Haha, well spotted
So they can work themselves loose? Youve got a torque wrench as long as you do it up to the correct torque its not gonna be too hard to undo. Lube of any kind on road wheel nuts is dangerous.
@@vector198
Common practice. I've been doing that for well over 25 years and never had ONE issue. Lubricant on the threads isn't going to overcome the torque setting and allow it to loosen and in many cases lubricant on the thread allows the correct torque to be reached in the fastener and not to arrive at a false setting via binding.
Do you or Jimmy have traders insurance?
I'm not a trader Dan.
Great videos mate, why can't I have a neighbour like you. In saying that I live next door to an MOT station/garage and he's very inexpensive. But I wouldn't mind learning this stuff myself.
Hi was it 175 nm?
sharon's going to kill yer when she see this vid
She's not going to see it haha
Have you done a vid on doing the front disks on a transit which involves the bearings?
That's a job i'm trying to avoid lol
Haha, he who dares Martin, he who dares 😀
