Thanks for watching
The tip about cleaning the rust off with lubed sandpaper is spot on, the tolerances are so tight the hub will not go on without getting rid of all rust deposits. Great vid, saved me a few hundred dollars.
No stress mate about to make some more videos on my sy2 territory and bf mk2 repairable write off if your subscribed
dont know if anyone gives a shit but if you are bored like me atm you can watch pretty much all of the latest series on instaflixxer. I've been watching with my gf these days =)
@Francis Braden yup, have been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself :)
Man such a good vid everything was quick and to the point how I want a repair vid to be. People like you are the unsung heroes of TH-cam
Thanks mate glad it helped you out
Just a note to say thanks again. I followed your advice in the video and did the job. Genuine Ford replacement hub and lock nut ensured no fitting dramas. Hub came off the stub axle easily. I had the right tools, 36mm 3/4 drive cracking bar for the big nut and 15mm Metriwrench socket and 1/2 inch drive cracking bar for the caliper carrier bolts.. You taking the time to post this video saved me labour costs and probably gouging on replacement parts. Fantastic mate!!
Good work mate nothing better than fixing your own s stuff
Great vid mate. Just a tip for anyone having trouble with the break line clip, if it doesn't pull straight off like in the vid, turn the hose a bit and try again. The clip has a flat spot that needs to line up to get it out easily, or at least mine did. Also, Bunnings sell an individual 36mm socket if your set doesn't reach that far and you can't find one to borrow.
Thamks mate cheers
I'll be tackling these on my BA Fairlane this weekend. Some good pointers here, and you make it look easy.
Quality vid dude 👌🏻
Thanks man great to have feed back cheers
Awesome edit. Straight to the point
Hope it helped mate cheers
Thank you for posting i was quoted labor plus part $440.00 you saved me $253.70 cheer's
Thats awesome as mate!!!!!!! Good job glad i could help
I like your video because it gives the right amount of info and would encourage someone not as skilled to tackle the job. Extracting the hub and the 'back part off the stub could be trouble and some would use pullers. Great that a little persuasion did the job. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching mate
Australia4031 Hi mate did you have to grease the bearing at all?
No mate sealed unit
best vid on this for BA out there thanx for the time !
Hope It helped MATE
definately helped I had to do 2, recomend the polish up on the spindle, got my new bearings at repco only 90 bucks a piece a;)
Thanks for the vid mate, helped a lot and saved me money, easy fix
Yeah they are good cars to work on generally
Thanks. Happy vibes too.
Hope it helped cheers mate
Thanks pro for sharing your experience
Hope it helps mate cheers
Just ordered 2 new genuine Ford hub and bearing assemblies as well as new genuine Ford lock nuts. Was going to get aftermarket ones but thought I’m not paying for labour so might as well spend the extra on the genuine stuff and get years out of it. Will put them away so I have them on hand when the time comes to change them.
Thank you bro EXCELLENT vid
No problem mate hope it.helped
Was looking for how you physically got the new hub on. Tapped it with drift or screwed on with nut or a puller tool pushing it on with a smear of grease.
Thanks!
I've got to do the same for my BA Falcon Ute. I've seen the bearing/hubs on ebay, some come with the nut, I am guessing by your video that I won't need the nut as it can be re-used. Got to find a 36 mm socket. Just a double-check you tightened the nut with a torque wrench - what was the setting? I also like the fact that you didn't use a bearing puller. I didn't want to buy one, just for this job. Thanks for the great video. I've subscribed!
Tank you bro exsolent vid 🤝
Today my and my brother well fix my mates car, hes wife had a car crash 2 days ago.
Thanks mate.👍
Welcome mate
Awesome vid thumbs up
Thanks for the support cheers
top job man
thanks hope it helped
Good clip and wondering what does the geared looking part on the back do?
It's a speed sensor for the anti lock break system
Great Video and well presented, New Subscriber
Thanks for watching have a fun time
cheers for the vid man, going to do it next week, hardest trouble for me now is buying/borrowing a torque wrench that goes upto 300nm, both of mine go to 210 and all the 300nm ones are pricey
Know any one who will lend you one that's what i did :)
i’ll ask around but if not i’m just going to give it a good tighten with my breaker bar, that’s what my mechanic mate said he does (i know it can be sketchy but it’s such a biased opinion)
@@pingapete666 I've done a lot like that mate... been working on cars for over 15 years and rarely use a torque wrench lol
@@joshuanash731 hahah thats reassuring considering i never ended up borrowing a torque wrench and still dont have one, but most of the time i feel like the things im working on dont reaaally need it
but if i was putting an engine back together i would definitely
Torque settings are important for things like head bolts to make it even and wheel nuts. Most other times it's a setting for non mechanics who doesn't have a feel of how tight it should be. So 300 nm means basically f,ing tight as possible with a breaker bar. You are not going to strip a 36 mm nut. You could also use a centre punch on the nut just near the thread as a locking mechanism.
@ONE UP THE SLEEVE CUSTOMS AUTOMOTIVE did you use a torque wrench to tighten the hub nut. Say's in forums that 305Nm is hub nut torque setting but I can't find a torque wrench that goes that high. Do i need one, if so what brand do you have??
Nope used breaker bar and swung on it
did you need to pack the new wheel bearing and is the process the same for an AU Falcon?
might do this at tafe on wensday - how much was the whole bearing assembly aswell?
just bolt them on all sealed and ready to go mate 80 bucks the pair delivered
One up the sleeve customs Automotive fuck me I paid $100 for one lol and yeah fitted it yesterday at tafe
Fun Saturday nights lol
+laura vella was stopped all the horrible noises
is this exact same (procedure, nut sizes etc) as an SX territory??? doing mine tomorrow but ive only bought the bearings not hub as well..
Yeah nothing much different between the 2
@@oneupthesleevecustomsautom2195 do i need anything special to remove the bearing from the hub and put my new one in? ie press or anything?
People are telling me (for my awd territory) the bearing is in the upright, not in the hub/on axle. Is this correct?
So i got a Xr6 falcon.. an d i have this problem where it makes that whinding sound, i think all my beerings on every wheel are buggerd and the hubs. also diff bushes Can I keep driving it or would the wheel fly off eventually?
Have you checked whether the noise disappears on long curves when driving ? Curving roads will pinpoint front bearing issue.
Wheel bearing can seize if it gets hot enough.
That will make it alot harder to get it off the spindle
G'day ...This is great ..I have a big kays AU 2 ..over the past few weeks I noticed a definite metal'y sound and yesterday it got a fair bit louder pretty quick ..Got home okay but this morning I figured it might pay to check the original wheel bearings ..RH side one didn't seem too bad but then I jacked up the car on Left Hand side and spun the wheel ...definitely not good ..Our local parts place out here in the bush surprisingly had what looks to be exactly the same as your BA ones just by looking ..Charged me $70 each so I figured if one side has gone the other one won't be far off as they're the OEM ones ..Was told that AU , BA , BF and two wheel drive Territory's use the same wheel hub kit ...Just checking to see if you think that's the case ..Only one that doesn't is the all wheel drive Terry's...makes sense I guess ..Great vid ..Thanks ..
Yeah I don't think they changed? Did you swap them yet
@@oneupthesleevecustomsautom2195 Funny thing happened...I took the wheel off yesterday to do it ..Even borrowed a torque wrench ...Not a bit of movement or noise in the bearing ...however the brake disc is toast ...about as black as burnt toast too in a couple of spots and badly scored...I mucked around and managed to release a sticking caliper ...wheel spinning as it should proved also that the bearing was fine ..took it for a drive and seemed okay until I used the brakes a couple of times and the noise albeit a lot quieter came back ...I'll take it to the servo on Monday and see if they can get a caliper kit , new rotor and pads and fix it properly ..the other three wheels are fine too ...just one sticky piston in the caliper I guess ...Never mind I have two wheel bearing hubs ready to go if/when they fail ...otherwise I could whack then on EBAY ...Still glad to see your great vid though..
@@rodneymcgiveron the dam calliper slides will get ya. All the best mate thanks for watching
I have intermittent squealing like a whistle noise coming from my front wheels, don’t know if bearings or brakes but usually happens after driving for sometime and braking?
Most likely brake pads need replacing as the squeal could be from your wear indicators
Brake pads. Wheel bearing rumble more than squeel
Hey mate did you know if the AU is the same as this?
Basicly the same thing
My bearing sleeve is stubborn it won't come off at all how did you do it? You have edited that process out as the video skips there
Hey mate the whole hub wont slide off or just the inside part of the bearings left behind
Do you use the hub nut again ?
Yeah mate
Mate before u replaced the bearing. did it make a grinding noise when driving
Yeah mate grinding dragging sound
Yeah mate thanks for the vid. Have to replace fronts sum time.. cheers
One up the sleeve Gday mate you've been a big help. Followed your steps and come out beautiful. Only problem was that dust cap. Other than that shes all good. Bridgestone charged $500 to replace bloody rip. Saved $370 Cheers mate again. 👍👍
Where have you placed the jack on under the front mate?
Main crossmember the big alloy one normally
@@oneupthesleevecustomsautom2195 Cheers mate.
Did you have to grease the bearing at all?
No sealed units
Thanks for the video, will it be similar for Ford Territory TX RWd, need to change front bearing assembly. There is another video for Territory where the guy is taking a lot of stuff out of the car including axle etc.
In a rwd it's not to bad. Alot involved in a awd
@@oneupthesleevecustomsautom2195 Thanks, just to be sure it will be similar to replacing a wheel bearing in a Falcon, like the video for a RWD territory.
any video or info online for replacing rear wheel hubs on a BA
No sorry never done much rear work only diff bushes
Thanks cheers. No worries
how long did you drive on it before replacing it?
months and months got so loud in the end
5 years latter and here I am again 😅 another falcon, another cooked wheel bearing
Cheers mate, are both hub nuts right hand thread?
Yes from memory mate you'll most likely need a breaker bar to undo
@@oneupthesleevecustomsautom2195 cheers👍
How did you torque the nut to 300ft lb?
Breaker Bar mate
@@oneupthesleevecustomsautom2195 Calibrated of course ?
With a digital tourqe meter ;)
does the bearing need grease or no?
No sealed units bro
@@oneupthesleevecustomsautom2195 thankyou
Thanks for watching
Did you reuse the old nut?
Yeah mate it went back on
@@oneupthesleevecustomsautom2195 apparently there a one time use nut but i did this job and it was fine.
I was told the same but mechanic i borrowed that huge socket off said it wasn't a issue. He only replaced them if damaged on removal
Hi sorry I should have read the other comments
Nice car, how long have you had it for?
+Melly Cross few years now
I hade a nissan patrol for 4 years and now for 8 years I have a ford ranger wildtrak and I love it ;-)
Coal chisel for the bearing
Heat and beat It ha yeah gotta do what you need to sometimes
the worst mistake was useing wd40 as it attracts all the dirt and dust you need wheel bearing greese
The one in my car won’t come off 😂 any tips?
Have you got a oxy or blow torch
Stitch up. Nothing like territory
Upper au Tickfords rims i run them on my ba
They Re a sick wheel I had 2 sets. A pre au off set and Au ones
@@oneupthesleevecustomsautom2195 yeah i always wanted a set got lucky enough few years ago someone wanted ba ghia rims so got a straight swap and last year i picked up minyt single au Tickford rim as machining spare tyer
How many kms did yours have out of curiosity? Mine sounds screwed and only have only 130k on it! Sad BA don't just use replaceable bearings too - will price some up. * This Car has cost me a PACKET vs the old EA it replaced, which never needed much at all in the 15 yrs / God knows how many thousands of km! I made a video recently about just that - unless I just bought a lemon!!
I think it was up to 340xxx ks at this point. Was cheap and easy fix i thought i put 100k on this car and did bugger all too it. Eas were tuff as too. The best part about the b series is throw rotor off new hub and back on. Half hour per side
@@Oneupthesleevecustoms My BA has only done 135,000kms - pretty poor really. Just took my noisy hub off - that inner bearing sleeve's a bastard to get off, 9 times out of 10 it seems by most accounts (without a puller)
Cut a slot in top hit with chisel done mate :)
@@Oneupthesleevecustoms well I tried that but ended up very carefully nicking it with an angle grinder just finished the job this week... brakes are brilliant now as I replaced the pads and rotors as well and got rid of that annoying ford out of round disc issue!
@@Oneupthesleevecustoms one of the Corvettes I had was the same except new they are $850 upwards so the Ford definitely beats them on that score : 80 bucks off eBay through a Ford dealer!
Hi ,I have only done this only ,300 what ?
300 nm? What's up how can I help
One up the sleeve customs Automotive .all good now .
A bit bogan not cleaning the axle shaft thoroughly first you do not want any previous contaminated grease seeping in and sanding the shaft over the top of your new hub well what can I say you must like changing your front bearing hubs often.
They are sealed bearings? Nothing in or out till the cook the seals out
That's not wheel bearing replacement. That's hub replacement.
+Xander17 very true
+One up the sleeve customs Automotive If only the vid title was that accurate, amirite?
It is a hub but on the BA the frontwheel bearing comes complete with the hub in one kit unlike the rear wheel bearings... amirite??
Yep thats how you do a wheel bearing
@@xander1756 When you can buy the whole hub for so cheap there is little to no reason to sit there with a bearing press if you have any value for your own time. If the extra moolah to buy the hub rather than just the bearing is too much, spend less time on TH-cam and more time in the trenches.
Try cleaning the parts first, plus, Stop playing with the fracken old Hub
