This is the best video for a steering knuckle replacement in over 100 videos I've seen.
@ 0:50 before you remove the caliper, have a second person stand on the brake pedal to break the axle nut free. This is mentioned @ 4:15, but to avoid putting the brakes back together, break the axle nut free right after you remove the tire. Your welcome 😊
Or you can stick a screwdriver you don't care about into the rotor cooling fins and let it bump into the caliper bracket if you don't have a second person to help. I just sheered a driver in half the other day. Used a Walmart hypertough and it survived and didn't even get a bend in it!
beast. this is the best explained video on how to replace a knuckle. my hub/bearing needs to be changed but i’m just going to replace the whole knuckle at once so everything is new.
I had my 03 accord sit for two years and recently had an incident that left my driver side front knuckle in desperate need of changing. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to do it, with your video it was actually pretty easy once I bought the tools.
Very well made video! Clear video and audio! Perfect viewing angles!
I was hoping to see you remove the hub/spindle from the knuckle.
By far the most informative video that I have come across for my 08 accord if anyone has ideas on how to take a ceased axle nut off including the ideas I’ve gathered feel free to let me know thank you in advance I’m five months pregnant and it took me about 45- 1 hour with ceased parts to get the job going
That was very nicely illustrated and explained!!!
You explain and illustrate things so well! This was very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
So is the spindle assembly inside of what you pulled? I'm going over to pick n pull and this video was very helpful!!!
i like the way that you show how to do the work on spindle :) nice work and for sure I subscribed and like
Excellent video sir! Thank You!
Thanks for your efforts for making this video's.
Is it animation possible ?
Hey I love the videos! Do you still have your 1997 Nissan maxima? I have a 98 Just like yours but I need help with the ac blend door actuator, please help!
Nice video. I need to d this in a dodge Dakota as two out of the 6 wheel hub bolts are froze ! After many hour of impacts and penetration oil and torch one of the bolt heads is now rounded. So going to remove the knuckle with hub attached
can you do a video on how to remove seized lug nuts please or different ways to do it
Very beautiful and detailed video, well explained, loved the tool examples and problem solving variations. Thank you keep up the Excellent work
Thank you for this video! Awesome!👌
If u have to replace a bearing and ur a DIY guy, this seems easier than the bearing only replacement process
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Why didn't you take the break caliber and the bracket off as one piece? Two bolts and the whole thing comes off.
Great video 👍👍
great job !
Going 2 have a call in mechanic change my knuckles on my 04 4runmer as I do not have the tools or experience for this job, should I also replace the rotors while I'm at it as well since they r pretty battered up and ball joints???
What is the part with the two bolts in it between the joints?
thanks, great stuff.
Hey man great video, should I grease / lube the axle and steering knuckle when installing knuckle back , noticed the end of the axle was little rusty .
I removed rust and lubricated with Film Fluid Rust Protection and Lubricant (fm Amazon) that axle end. Maybe it is better to add some grease (I saw many examples of that in other films). I think it should be lubricated, but maybe grease it is too heavy lubricant for that connection.
Hand tools!!! Yessir ❤
How can I get the bearings for the steering knuckles
Beautifully made video. Precisely explained. Thank you.
Anybody got a link to where I can get one of those service clamp sets in the video
Last tip. Make sure to grease your ball joint pullers threading before you crank on it. At least some spray so it dosent chew up the threads. It will last much longer if you end up having to put some force on it. Ive only had 1 stick like that before but its worth pointing out.
Steering hard going to the left dealership said drive shaft, side mechanic says steering knuckle. Any advice would be appreciated.
whats the ring inside the steering knuckle called? My sons needs replaced
Hi, good day!
My steering knuckle has a little bent, just a little bent. How can i fix it? Can i use a pressing machine? Do a steering knuckle made up of a pure steel and it doesn't easily break when we press it.
TIA
Need my hud bearing replace but the knuckle, rotor shield is rusted so im going to buy the whole assembly with a lower ball joint included so im changing like 4 part in one set save alot of money since it cost alot to press the hud bearing and i dont have a press
Can you use any knuckle parts from any car to replace a 2000 toyota echo knuckle?
Id suggest soaking the hardware a day in advance if you can. Seafoam deep creep works really well after a few hours. Iive had better luck then pb and it stinks about 1/3rd as much too.
Bro 10/10 video
Can i do this on a gmc svana 3500??
I have the bottom bolt stuck down in. Is there a trick to getting it out.
Superb.
I have a strange question if you put the knuckle on top of the camber arm will it lower the car
Hello you think you can give me instructions on how to remove a front electric strut on a 2013 Cadillac XTS passenger side?
I'm sorry I have yet to do that.
Does the car need an alignment afterwards
Also talking off my entire knuckle and hub assembly off my 7th gen accord for the exact same reason 😂 though I'm not drilling it out just throwing a new knuckle and hub assembly in
How long does it take to do
Do you need to do an alignment after this job (if you don't replace any of Tie Rods or Lower Ball Joint)?
Thank you for the good film, especially for pointing out on that broken cotter pin. I'm very new amateur in car repairs, so it was unknown problem for me.
Yes %100
Why? You’re not changing anything? Nothing is being adjusted, just bolts being removed. No need for an alignment that I can see. Especially on a car that old. Also, why not just remove the caliper bracket vs removing the caliper and pads separate? That’s a complete waste of time.
How long does it take
Another tip for th hub screws (they are put on to keep the rotors on during manufacturing so not nessasary to go back on.) If you dont have the impact driver use a philips head and tap on th back of it whipe trying to unscrew it at the same time. I dont put em back in because iv had to drill some out before. Not worth the hassle.
what honda car is this? thanks
What is the services tool called
I use that tool (Tie Rod Puller) from the set "Orion Motor Tech 5-in-1 Ball Joint Separator, Pitman Arm Puller, Tie Rod End Tool Set for Front End Service, Splitter Removal Kit" (on Amazon $52.99). There are other sets, which have the Tie Rod Puller, the author uses in this film.
wow. ❤
Sooo is that part called the rear knuckle or rear passenger steering knuckle?? My bearing got so stuck in it that the shop doesnt want to keep trying to press it out. So they want me to get the part that the wheel bearing goes into?
No, just rear hub and wheel bearing assembly. Steering knuckles are just in the front.
Do you live in the rust belt?
Lol are you me? I have the Craftsman Bolt On AND a Cordless Dewalt drill... and I use each of them for specific stuff.
Love the Dewalt drill. It recently expired but lasted many years.
So how did you remove the ABS connection?
I took off the nut and it’s just there…
Just hit it with a sledge
Now how would I install it?
The ABS sensor simply fits in to the opening in the knuckle. Here's another view. You can fast forward to the 4:00 mark..th-cam.com/video/nKhnzJsNBZo/w-d-xo.html
Im doing this just to avoid pressing a wheel bearing lol. Bought the whole assembly with bearing in it
do not drill the hole larger than it already is. If you do, you loose the super tight fit needed, and the sensor will vibrate and fail, giving you an abs light.
So this was called a spindle or knuckle ?
If I was you I would get rid of that harbor freight Jack I had one of them that only lasted me for 2 years in the Jack went out in it it almost fell on top luckily I moved out of the way really quick
I use this for the most part - th-cam.com/video/3tfM5NmqLc4/w-d-xo.html
The HF jack is great if I need to quickly jack up the vehicle and place on stands.
If you were under a vehicle with only a jack supporting it, maybe you deserved to be taught that lesson. It’s called a JACKSTAND. USE THEM.
I love how you so-called mechanics always use the most expensive tools hardly anyone watching this will ever buy. I simply used a 16-in ball joint separator remover too from Harbor Freight ($10) and with a couple taps of my mallet it separated easily enough. Q: Why didn't you remove the entire caliber intact and set aside versus completely disassembling it? Unless you're planning on replacing the brake pads, leave this stuff alone!
I just use a pry bar, hmm always works for me. If it's stubborn, hammer time!
I think his explanation makes it easier for any newbie to be able to see how everything a pulled apart. This video kind of covers a number of things in one video.
pickle fork as its called will destroy the rubber boot. I never use that tool. Also, local auto parts stores often lend tools out for free, so anyone can get the fancy and proper tools for free
Yeah it's a pretty straight forward job though I don't know about the "basic hand tools part" You need to have a pretty decent selection of tools... ( more than you get in any standard kit)
Most people will end up struggling to get the axel nut off without an impact ( it can be done I've done it before but man just get an impact)... also most people don't have sockets 28mm and up impact sockets... So it will test your tools... but the actual job is pretty straight forward.. 1-2 hours tops...removal and install...
You cheated,I started the job with handtools and halfway thru?you pull out a impact wrench..
For the Axle nut? You can remove with a breaker bar. Here's how. Just fast forward 40 seconds: th-cam.com/video/12LNzutVSNU/w-d-xo.html
@@CarsNToys I just saw that you replied,It was a joke.I have a 04 TL and your videos have been massive in the maintenance of my car!Thanks for the sharing your knowledge.
I used the jack handle as a levy bar front bumper had to be removed but got it done 😅
You don't even know how to properly use wrench to loosen bolts. Downward not upward
Ingat.... Ada allah....
It might be awesome if that was actually a steering knuckle... Steering knuckle is at the end of your steering column.... You're welcome and great job
It's a steering knuckle look it up
According to the auto parts store I ordered this from it's a steering knuckle. You're welcome.
1st! Woo hoo! Go TRUMP!
Impossible to rewind with TH-cam ads. Ugh!!!!
