Auto Repair Guys Donde golpeaste la punta del brazo de dirección donde va enroscada la tuerca “no se golpea con el martillo” porque se daña la punta y la rosca, se golpea la parte fija hasta que la punta despegue
For anyone doing this themselves please make sure you put it in the right way. The bearing comes with a plastic cover protecting the magnetic strip for the ABS( the ABS is usually a brown or black plastic ring on the one side. The non ABS side is just metal and usually has the brand on it). The ABS side needs to face towards the car otherwise your abs won't work! Also please do not hit the bearing with a hammer use a vice and the old bearing to push it in or use the old bearing on top of the old one and hit the outer ring of the old bearing with a hammer if you must. When you attach the hub also make sure that you use the old bearing to bush a force back from the other side otherwise you risk damaging the bearing. I hope my mistakes pay off for someone.
Nice video about replacing the bearing. Thanks for your time and clear explanation. Just to guys know some forgotten things to keep the new bearing safe, you have to use a bush on outer ring of the bearing and place the big hammer head on the bush instead of hitting unevenly around the bearing. When you insert the wheel rod, support bush must be at the bottom to take the impact otherwise pain will be on bearing rollers and the damage will be to the new bearing.
As an experienced mechanic I admire those guys. Never mind if that bearing could have been handled better. They did very well as that it was “doing so much with so little”. Imagine what they could do to a car in a well equipped workshop. Well done.
I rented $420 press and removal tool with no instruction - wasted 2 hours, willing to pay $100 for auto shop to remove and press the bearing and hub and all the auto shops were too busy, spent over $300 on miscellaneous tools and failed miserably; and here you are with brute force. Dude, you are the man!
This reminds me of when I was young, knew a little, had lots of time and no money to buy the correct tools. I fixed my cars because I couldn't afford $75 hour shop rate or the dealer rates and I needed transportation for work. So I learned. I always wanted tools. Hats off to these guys for having the guts to show how to do it without the wallet to buy a tool that'll sit around collecting dust for a decade.
BY then where all your money go was most $$$ blown other junk way that is why games or smoking or drinking and shopping junk too much. I have notice hell too many people have money problem.
@@matafiyd You're lucky, It's a PITA when you have to do it. I had a Maestro for a few years that got through bearings at a ridiculous rate. I replaced two, and I've done one on a C15 and I think my current van (now 21 years old, 165000 miles) needs one doing too.
I’ve read a lot of people criticizing these guys for their method. I have seen a lot of videos from them specially that guy that’s talking, and this must have been his very first video or something because the rest I’ve seen him nowadays tools. I think this is a great video to give you an idea of what to if you need to get this kind of jobs done and you don’t have the rights tools on hand. Let’s say you’re out of town or somewhere you can’t get to your press or something like that. This is very useful video.
Yes it’s makes it easier to buy the right tools but this is perfect when you need the job done and don’t have the right tools. All this negative comments are from people who just read magazines and think they know about cars. If your are a real mechanic you have enjoyed this. Great work guys !
I did this very same job a few days ago on a 2014 Ford transit connect. I have torches, 20 ton press, and bearing tools. It took me 3 hours start to finish, 45 mins just to get the piece of the bearing off of the spindle. I use a combination of torch, pullers, and eventually cut it with the wheel. I couldn't imagine tackling this job with hammers. Hats off for getting this done so quickly with basic tools. I feel useless now.
It took me a "Soviet" hand-made 30 Lbs hammer and beat the shit out of that bearing. Only 3 hits in a 32mm socket and the spindle came out. I was surprised at how easily it was.
Hello, your bearing surfaces should be completely dry when installing. The oil you are applying will eventually cause it to slip inside the hub or vise versa, i learned this the hard way. Please dont make the same mistakes. INSTALL YOUR BEARINGS DRY! Side note. Do not hit your bearing in with a hammer. You are rolling the edges and seperating the glue from the ruberseal holding the bearings inside the track this is making small holes for sand and moisture to accumulate in... use a press and bearing press install tool kit. This will work for a few years. But be prepaired to do it again after all the shock caused to the bearing by banging and tapping..
@@kamicaz2415 True but I wanted my own press since I constantly work on cars. I had to use the press to separate the brake rotors from the spindle of a GMC truck. A big hammer did not work.
@@DW-cg8vy Of course, you would. He's just showing a way to do it without a bearing press. This is certainly not the best way to do it, but when you are without a press, this is how to do it. I've done this before and there is nothing wrong with it, it's just a time killer as some people don't have $100 to just go and buy the press kit.

I can't thank you guys enough. You are thorough and fast teachers. Your channel is one of the most valuable resources I've had from the internet for sure
This is a great video. I'd like to add, at 18:50, using a dremel instead of a grinder works much better. The small dremel cutting disc matches the shape of the inner race better and you can cut a notch parallel to the shaft of the axle, instead of at a 45 degree angle when using the large grinding wheel. Also if you cut two notches 180 degrees apart then when you use a cold chisel and strike the notch, the inner race will split into two halves and literally fall off. I think this is because the inner race is extremely hard but also extremely brittle.
Nice job guys! The front passengers side wheel bearing on my 1998 Honda Civic EX needs replacing, it does not make any noise but has some play on it. I do alll of the repairs on my car to save money and just was going to attemp to do it myself. Thanks for the inspiration!
Way to go guys One of the safest videos I have ever seen on TH-cam! NOT.!!!!!T SHIRT SHORTS BARE SKIN ... NO SAFTY GLASSES NO GLOVES . I THOUGHT THIS WAS GOING TO BE A BORAT COMEDY SKETCH!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video guys! For you young guys it's probably OK to use your buddy as a workbench, but at my age I put the wheel assemble on wooden blocks to beat out the bearing races! 🤣Also, half the time I've scored/chiseled the inner race from the spindle I ended up damaging the spindle. You can get a new spindle for most cars for around $30, so my advice is before starting the job buy a spare in case you need it. If you don't, you can always send it back, but I would never put a damaged spindle back in a car. Finally, look into buying the whole wheel hub assemble new. I know it costs a lot more (around $250) but everything is new and you don't have to remove old bearing/press in new. If you have a NAPA in you town, sometimes they will press the bearings into your hub/spindle if you purchase the bearing from them. Just a few thoughts, I have done quite a few of these - one of the more labor intensive yet satisfying DIY mechanic jobs you can do! Thanks for posting!
getting ready to do this myself! Looked at some vids and then went back into rock auto and paid $156 for the hub/bearing assembly....hahaha not messing with this.
Anyone else impressed how his white shoes dont even have one smudge on them? I have worked at a shop before and its impressive that he has clean white shoes on. 😊
Love the level of improvisation. It's so creative and actually good for your mind to develop different ways of solving problems when I don't have the right tools.
I see a few problems with your repair, first of all your jackstands are on the body panels, and not on a main frame rail, also you need to place the tire you removed under the vehicle in case your jack stand fails, the rim and tire will help keep the car from dropping all the way to the ground, secondly you need to mark the bolts on your strut mount before you remove the bolts, because on most cars, that is how your camber is adjusted, so the bolts will need to be put back in the very same place, or a alignment will be needed after the repair, the way you did it, without marking its prior positions. Third thing, if you roll a shop towel up like a burrito, you can put it around the socket you use to hammer the spindle out, this way the socket dosen't fly off and injure someone, and you have a way of holding that socket in place, using the rag as your handle. Fourth thing is if you go too deep with your grinder on the spindle, it will damage your spindle, a better way is if you just put your flat chisel between the back of the bearing race and the spindle, the wedge shape on the chisel will force the bearing race forwards, without damaging your spindles machined surface. Fifth thing is you should use a vise or large c-clamp to squeeze the new bearing into place, you should not hammer it, because the bearing is a two piece race bearing, thats why there is a plastic retainer in the center of the new bearing, to hold the races in place, the lower race can come apart by hammering it, also the bearing is made of hardened steel, which can chip and go into your eye by hammering it, so those safety glasses need to be over your eyes and not sitting on top of your head.😁👍
I did this today.. Had to be even more brutish with removal because the bearing was disintegrated.. Inner race wouldn't come out.. Had to rebuild the inside of the old bearing with balls and spacers.. Fuct up.. took 3 hours to finally get it out..
I need to do this to the rear wheels on my CR-V. It's front wheel drive so there is only a short axle to remove with no connections to a differential. I think I can remove the ABS sensor and then slide hammer the old bearings out without removing the knuckle. (How's that for barbaric? ;o) ) Then I'll use the old bearings to pound the new ones back in. Should be quick since I'm not removing the knuckle..
Eye protection! Eye protection! Eye protection! Removing the inner ring off the hub spindle by chiseling is extremely dangerous. One should wear even long pants. The bearing is highly hardened and chiseling it to crack it may cost you an eye! The pieces might fly out with such force and they are so sharp, that years ago, when I was doing the same thing, a piece flew out and penatreted my shin bone skin so deep that blood started squirting out as if I got shot by a a miniature bullet. I had never seen such an effect, and I poked myself hundred of times in my life. You guys should reshoot that video or add a note in the beginning about the importance of eye protection, particulary in this procedure. Това не е шега работа!
You Guys are the best. Thank you for explaining this with limited amount of tools. I will wear safety glasses for the snap ring for sure. I think I can get the job done. Kudos to you!
I have done this a couple times before and it just takes a little muscle and time. If i did this for a living i would obviously use a press. Good job fellas.
45 years ago an old technician showed me a way how to remove the outer ring of the bearing. Just lay a weld on the inside of the bearing, let's say 2 inches opposite of each other. When these welds cool down they shrink the bearing and it comes out easily!
Btw if my wheel bearing failed on the road and had to be towed can i still use the same wheel hub? Or do you think it's damaged and I need a new? The wheel has play and some ball bearings fell out but I didn't drive it much after it failed. It basically stoped me as it failed as i was rolling out of a parking lot. I tried rolling it into a parking space but I was afraid of losing the wheel so I stopped and called a tow. Now it's sitting outside but I want the wheel bearings because the whole wheel hub assembly is too expensive. Can I still use my wheel hub?
DO NOT FOLLOW THESE GUYS EXAMPLES! At best you will install damaged new bearings onto your car. At worst you will lose and eye or two, or your helper will. It could be done safely in a similar way but NOT using claw hammers as cold chisels and hammering the new bearing to install the hub... that is just the wrong way to do it... should freeze the hub overnight to -21 or lower and after bearing inserted into yolk then wearing insulating gloves and having pre-lubed the bearing inner surface offer up the hub quickly and squarely to the bearing centre it should go in at least half way maybe more before it expands and starts to bind and need pressing in or in this case hammering. But you really need to minimise amount of hammering to drive the hub home if you can. Even cheap low strength off the shelf reading glasses offer some eye protection if you can't even afford a set of protective glasses/goggles... fitting a wheel bearing on the cheap is not worth losing an eye or two!
I always like to see cheaper ways of fixing cars, as I do so myself. However, I was taught at school that you should never bang hammer heads together, certainly without eye protection, as since they are both hardened and brittle steel, it's quite possible for a splinter to fly off at several hundred miles per hour. :) You can buy a new wheel bearing, but you can't buy a new eye. :) Take care .......
Great job boys, this shows how you can do a job without all the fancy tools and fully fitted workshop, ideal if you were stranded somewhere in the outback, or needed to fix your vehicle and didn't have the funds to get a professional to do it, OK not the best for health and safety but sometimes needs must, I love watching videos like this, keep up the good work.
If you are being paid to fix other people's cars you have to get the best tools on the market. Before you get hired as a mechanic in a quality busy shop they require you to open your tool box. From United States to mexico.

Thanks Guys so Much ! Did it exactly the same way ! To hell with asking / waiting / paying / Trying to get someone to do it ! One more thing I did it all alone.
Great job guys, one thing though, if you're gonna bang hammers together make sure you are wearing eye protection. Getting some chisels would be an even better idea.
Good observation, After cutting the race w/ the grinder a large cold chisel would make short work of the race. Much better then a screwdriver and a claw hammer!
I was researching the question what should be the diameter of the supportive disc on the back in the process of the hub installation and found the answer, thank you very much for the film. For the replacement I used press and a kit for bearing, but ruined 2 bearings because placed a disc of the larger diameter, so it went over the compressing ring and the central part of the bearing started to come off. I thought maybe I pressed too much started over with the same result at the end, the bearing was ruined. After watching this film I realized what could be wrong and used the disc of the smaller diameter, which compressed just inner part. The third knuckle assembly was done correctly. Thank you again.
this gentleman took forever to sit a frozen bearing, even with the basic tool it should'nt take that long ,honestly this is one man job even with basic tools, i m not crticizing any part of vdo,i just felt tht way
That is better, but like they say, so long as you are using the old shell so you only bash the shell and don't touch the inner race there is no harm done. If you think about the mechanics it's fairly obvious why it works.
never hit a hammer on a hammer guys but if you are going to do it, rather use eye protection.. nice effort. I would rather use a press to reduce the risk of damaging something.
This would have been much faster and easier with a very simple addition to your methods. Heating and freezing. Blow some heat (with hot air blower, prices starting from 30€) to the "bed" round the bearing and it will come out much easier. When putting the new bearing in place, apply heat again + freeze the bearing with e.g. air spray (for cleaning a keyboard).
I've done my fair share of hitting in wheel bearings and bushes when I was first starting out, I bought a bearing press in the end, I've got a set that will do a bearing while the hub is on the car and 20 ton hydraulic press for real stubborn bearings.
I want to be very clear these guys rock and this is a latch ditch resort. Get the whole knuckle assy. Or get a press. Or get a bearing kit (youll need this for a press too unless you want to damage sockets). I wish autorepairguys put a disclaimer this is not recommened but here is how. Impressive for sure.
I did both the front on my car this summer. It was fun, and learned a few tricks while doing it. I used a press to do mine. Next time I'm gonna get a hydraulic press. By the way, great job.
Heres a tip from a pro. Place new bearing in freezer for 1 hour or so before use. Then you will find it will push into the hub/carrier with great ease, No need for all this hammering, beleive me try it youll be amazed.
Good video! I've tried it this way and it's a pain in the nuts. Every new bearing seems to be made in China and low quality so I've been going to the junkyard and buying the entire hub and exchanging it. Much easier and lasts just as long as new Chinese bearing
y'all clown ass dont kno a damn thing about cars this vid was exactly what I was looking for I don't have the money at the moment to fix my wheel bearing with out press stop asking why the not using proper tools when it clearly say with out press y'all really stupid be so ready to talk shit
TO ALL YA PEOPLE TALKING BS, stop it, if you dont like it the way the work dont watch it and dont it, Thats it. This is to show other people without the tools that you can do it. People talking to use a prsss, to use this and that; Dont you understand or dont know how to read???? Read, Read the title of the video, what is says? Helloooooooo

You can get a new spindle for most cars for around $30, so my advice is before starting the job buy a spare in case you need it. If you don't, you can always send it back, but I would never put a damaged spindle back in a car. Finally, look into buying the whole wheel hub assemble new. I know it costs a lot more (around $250) but everything is new and you don't have to remove old bearing/press in new. If you have a NAPA in you town, sometimes they will press the bearings into your hub/spindle if you purchase the bearing from them. Just a few thoughts, I have done quite a few of these - one of the more labor intensive yet satisfying DIY mechanic jobs you can do! Thanks for posting!
getting ready to do this myself! Looked at some vids and then went back into rock auto and paid $156 for the hub/bearing assembly....hahaha not messing with this.
so glad i read your comment.for an amateur it makes more sense to buy the wheel hub bearing assembly.
I've watched this a few times and every time he uses the retaining ring pliers , I cover half the screen lol . Love them
Anyone else impressed how his white shoes dont even have one smudge on them? I have worked at a shop before and its impressive that he has clean white shoes on. 😊
Love the level of improvisation. It's so creative and actually good for your mind to develop different ways of solving problems when I don't have the right tools.
@Alex Ptc - Some of us are not associates of people who have tools for the job we are working on. Likewise, some don't have access to rentals.
Good video, very in depth. I couldn't help thinking "Fail Army!" When hammering that bearing in and the guys thumb was so close.
Love the russian way, no gloves, no eye protection and lots of tools abuse, love it :)

I see a few problems with your repair, first of all your jackstands are on the body panels, and not on a main frame rail, also you need to place the tire you removed under the vehicle in case your jack stand fails, the rim and tire will help keep the car from dropping all the way to the ground, secondly you need to mark the bolts on your strut mount before you remove the bolts, because on most cars, that is how your camber is adjusted, so the bolts will need to be put back in the very same place, or a alignment will be needed after the repair, the way you did it, without marking its prior positions.
Third thing, if you roll a shop towel up like a burrito, you can put it around the socket you use to hammer the spindle out, this way the socket dosen't fly off and injure someone, and you have a way of holding that socket in place, using the rag as your handle.
Fourth thing is if you go too deep with your grinder on the spindle, it will damage your spindle, a better way is if you just put your flat chisel between the back of the bearing race and the spindle, the wedge shape on the chisel will force the bearing race forwards, without damaging your spindles machined surface.
Fifth thing is you should use a vise or large c-clamp to squeeze the new bearing into place, you should not hammer it, because the bearing is a two piece race bearing, thats why there is a plastic retainer in the center of the new bearing, to hold the races in place, the lower race can come apart by hammering it, also the bearing is made of hardened steel, which can chip and go into your eye by hammering it, so those safety glasses need to be over your eyes and not sitting on top of your head.😁👍
this is the most barbaric way of doing the bearing replacement. I love it.
I did this today.. Had to be even more brutish with removal because the bearing was disintegrated.. Inner race wouldn't come out.. Had to rebuild the inside of the old bearing with balls and spacers.. Fuct up.. took 3 hours to finally get it out..
😂😂😂😂
This is way , how not to do ,🤣🤣🤣👍
I need to do this to the rear wheels on my CR-V. It's front wheel drive so there is only a short axle to remove with no connections to a differential. I think I can remove the ABS sensor and then slide hammer the old bearings out without removing the knuckle. (How's that for barbaric? ;o) ) Then I'll use the old bearings to pound the new ones back in. Should be quick since I'm not removing the knuckle..
savage!...savage!...savage!...savage!...SAVAGE!!!
Eye protection! Eye protection! Eye protection!
Removing the inner ring off the hub spindle by chiseling is extremely dangerous. One should wear even long pants. The bearing is highly hardened and chiseling it to crack it may cost you an eye! The pieces might fly out with such force and they are so sharp, that years ago, when I was doing the same thing, a piece flew out and penatreted my shin bone skin so deep that blood started squirting out as if I got shot by a a miniature bullet. I had never seen such an effect, and I poked myself hundred of times in my life.
You guys should reshoot that video or add a note in the beginning about the importance of eye protection, particulary in this procedure.
Това не е шега работа!
The hell with the eyes, they saved $42 buck's
Wow...great tutorial. I'm not sure I'm up to the challenge. I was thinking that the bearing was one piece here goes nothing 🙂Thank you!
Ya, I was in Soviet Army in 1988.. and we did the same. couse no tools we have. Just the hummer. LOL Guys you rock.
It's hilarious because they're Bulgarian :D. Came here to see this comment
You Guys are the best. Thank you for explaining this with limited amount of tools. I will wear safety glasses for the snap ring for sure. I think I can get the job done. Kudos to you!
These guys are the worst
Just buy a press
Your still saving a ton of money
Do it right with the right tools
I have done this a couple times before and it just takes a little muscle and time. If i did this for a living i would obviously use a press. Good job fellas.
This vid sent my auto tech instructor off the deep end.
LMAO! He didn't like it too much eh?
Meanwhile I'm here because my instructor actually WANTED us to watch this video in with our lesson plans this week. Um.... Yikes?
@@wiigamer024 I guess he wants you to see the other side of the coin where people are doing it, barbaric style, without a shop press?
45 years ago an old technician showed me a way how to remove the outer ring of the bearing. Just lay a weld on the inside of the bearing, let's say 2 inches opposite of each other. When these welds cool down they shrink the bearing and it comes out easily!
I'm going to try that 🤔
This is indeed a very good think to know. Works well.
Thanks! I never thought about using the old bearing pieces to press the new one. Worked great and made my life easier
If you freeze the bearing AND heat the knuckle, the bearing will pretty much fall in.
just about to do this myself, have done it a few times over the years and it works a treat!
Freeze the bearing, then pound it with a hammer. Should last about 1500km
Thanks for the tip! You the vip
Btw if my wheel bearing failed on the road and had to be towed can i still use the same wheel hub? Or do you think it's damaged and I need a new? The wheel has play and some ball bearings fell out but I didn't drive it much after it failed. It basically stoped me as it failed as i was rolling out of a parking lot. I tried rolling it into a parking space but I was afraid of losing the wheel so I stopped and called a tow. Now it's sitting outside but I want the wheel bearings because the whole wheel hub assembly is too expensive. Can I still use my wheel hub?
@@hiddenkard3101 if it doesn't look to be damaged I would reuse it. Usually hubs are pretty cheap on eBay though.
Just rent the wheel bearing press from the auto parts store for free. They also have a slide hammer available for rental as well.
Finally finally someone knows what they're doing thank you step by step this is exactly how you do it
ihssan ammari nope this ain’t it
DO NOT FOLLOW THESE GUYS EXAMPLES! At best you will install damaged new bearings onto your car. At worst you will lose and eye or two, or your helper will. It could be done safely in a similar way but NOT using claw hammers as cold chisels and hammering the new bearing to install the hub... that is just the wrong way to do it... should freeze the hub overnight to -21 or lower and after bearing inserted into yolk then wearing insulating gloves and having pre-lubed the bearing inner surface offer up the hub quickly and squarely to the bearing centre it should go in at least half way maybe more before it expands and starts to bind and need pressing in or in this case hammering. But you really need to minimise amount of hammering to drive the hub home if you can. Even cheap low strength off the shelf reading glasses offer some eye protection if you can't even afford a set of protective glasses/goggles... fitting a wheel bearing on the cheap is not worth losing an eye or two!
As soon as I saw that big ass hammer I already knew what was going on here LMFAO
Damn you guys did stuff without the right tools wish I could've.
I always like to see cheaper ways of fixing cars, as I do so myself. However, I was taught at school that you should never bang hammer heads together, certainly without eye protection, as since they are both hardened and brittle steel, it's quite possible for a splinter to fly off at several hundred miles per hour. :) You can buy a new wheel bearing, but you can't buy a new eye. :) Take care .......
Great job boys, this shows how you can do a job without all the fancy tools and fully fitted workshop, ideal if you were stranded somewhere in the outback, or needed to fix your vehicle and didn't have the funds to get a professional to do it, OK not the best for health and safety but sometimes needs must, I love watching videos like this, keep up the good work.
my favorite tool when broken down in the outback is my freezer…
If you are being paid to fix other people's cars you have to get the best tools on the market. Before you get hired as a mechanic in a quality busy shop they require you to open your tool box. From United States to mexico.

Welcome to the flinstones garage!! Lol
So funny! after reading this comment everytime that hammer hit something I laughed my ass off.
Wilma!.... IM HOOOOME!
Spent an hour with a hammer, when he could of just spent 5 minutes on a 20 ton press..
Moment i seen the grinder i was like “byeee”
Hey man, it works! Sort of like how Chris Fix replaced wheel bearings without a press on several of his videos.
I admire doing it the hard way. It is great for learning purposes and if you enjoy your work it could be fun❤
Thanks Guys so Much ! Did it exactly the same way ! To hell with asking / waiting / paying / Trying to get someone to do it ! One more thing I did it all alone.
Replacing ball bearing KGB-way.
Ha ha ha

When you said "I am going to hold it in the air" I laughed out loud, but it worked great. Nice video.
29:35 safety glasses on top of your head 👌
Great job guys, one thing though, if you're gonna bang hammers together make sure you are wearing eye protection. Getting some chisels would be an even better idea.
Good observation, After cutting the race w/ the grinder a large cold chisel would make short work of the race. Much better then a screwdriver and a claw hammer!
Awesome,saved me $120 and a three day wait being shops are so busy right now. Thanks
Borat has his own auto shop now?!! Alright! High five...
I like, great success!
Most Russian thing ever said: “we need to get the big hammer now”😂 love it
Lol
Get to the choppa now, Arnold
I was researching the question what should be the diameter of the supportive disc on the back in the process of the hub installation and found the answer, thank you very much for the film. For the replacement I used press and a kit for bearing, but ruined 2 bearings because placed a disc of the larger diameter, so it went over the compressing ring and the central part of the bearing started to come off. I thought maybe I pressed too much started over with the same result at the end, the bearing was ruined. After watching this film I realized what could be wrong and used the disc of the smaller diameter, which compressed just inner part. The third knuckle assembly was done correctly. Thank you again.
I did this to my front driver side's bearing 3 years ago. It is still going on.
tadreamster same
so you admit you're also a moron?? interesting......
I've taken apart and put back together easier using the freezer technique, you should have used a heat gun or torch on the other metal parts.
Yeah people laugh but it works great
Can I put it in the oven lol
@@jaredreck882 Yes, that works also.
this gentleman took forever to sit a frozen bearing, even with the basic tool it should'nt take that long ,honestly this is one man job even with basic tools,
i m not crticizing any part of vdo,i just felt tht way
Sweet. Now, do the same thing, on the side of a freeway, at 2 AM, in 17 degree weather. That was my Hell 9 years a go.
Did your wheel fall off 😂 why didn’t you just drive it to a shop
You two are a pair of absolute animals. I love it!
This was 6 years ago
These dudes are professionals now 👍🏻 great video
8:00 instead of hammering it with lump hammer, put another hammer like metal and whack that metal in, that will release the ball joint 95% of times.
This video showed me exactly how to do my Kia Sportage with no special tools. Great work!
Hi! idol, I'm watching from Saudi Arabia. Im auto mechanics here.Good job sir.
Good work but never beat a new bearing in a hub always use the correct tool to push bearing in
That is better, but like they say, so long as you are using the old shell so you only bash the shell and don't touch the inner race there is no harm done. If you think about the mechanics it's fairly obvious why it works.
In my culture we call this “mexicanadas” . Great work
Jay Roman . It’s close to your culture, this is “moldovanas”.
never hit a hammer on a hammer guys but if you are going to do it, rather use eye protection..
nice effort. I would rather use a press to reduce the risk of damaging something.
Jonathan Espach what are you a girl?
Really f*cking amateurs.........
@@FreeTalentWorldwide Not wanting to lose your eyes is being a girl?
Being scared of hitting a hammer with another hammer makes you a girl
This would have been much faster and easier with a very simple addition to your methods. Heating and freezing. Blow some heat (with hot air blower, prices starting from 30€) to the "bed" round the bearing and it will come out much easier. When putting the new bearing in place, apply heat again + freeze the bearing with e.g. air spray (for cleaning a keyboard).
I've done my fair share of hitting in wheel bearings and bushes when I was first starting out, I bought a bearing press in the end, I've got a set that will do a bearing while the hub is on the car and 20 ton hydraulic press for real stubborn bearings.
From chris fix to Vodka 😏😏😏😏hell yeah
Farhad Farkish m
Just need some soapy wooder and a sledgehammer!
Thank you for this video. I just did my jeep bearing, and it worked perfect
I know how much I do not know yet. Lol
Wow you guys are pretty impressive clothes stayed cleaned and did most of the work with hand tools
I want to be very clear these guys rock and this is a latch ditch resort. Get the whole knuckle assy. Or get a press. Or get a bearing kit (youll need this for a press too unless you want to damage sockets). I wish autorepairguys put a disclaimer this is not recommened but here is how. Impressive for sure.
You really need eye protection, with all that grinding and hammering.
Hammer head to hammer head easy way to loose an eye, get ya goggles on.
All done while wearing your Easter shorts, Good job!
And a watch lol
One of the best channels out there
Man,I flinched at the first hit with that hammer,these guys are savages 😳😂😂
🤣😂🤣 ...we need to get the big hammer now”😂 love it !
Good job guys. The video was great. I enjoy watching your thought process and how you solve the problems of not having the right tools to do the job.
I did both the front on my car this summer. It was fun, and learned a few tricks while doing it. I used a press to do mine. Next time I'm gonna get a hydraulic press. By the way, great job.
my eyes started to well up, I was laughing so hard! every part was fascinating.
his delightful accent played hilarious havoc with the auto-captions :-)
11:47 - we put an asshole that way we are going to damage the dress
You also need a welding torch to heat up metals
"How to replace a bearing before you replace the same bearing a month later"
Heres a tip from a pro. Place new bearing in freezer for 1 hour or so before use. Then you will find it will push into the hub/carrier with great ease, No need for all this hammering, beleive me try it youll be amazed.
Freeze it for one day? Then greeze it!!
@@sergioernandez1 No need for 1 day 1 hour is sufficient
@@sergioernandez1 no need for grease trust me the bearing will drop in without it
Quite easy to do with basic tools who needs a press good job guys done a few in my time
Dam I enjoyed watching this vdo as much as reading all the B.S. comments. 😁😁😁
Price for the rest is fine with the same thing as the other side of the good old and new yellow gold the most.
Hey guys what impact do you use to take the tires off? Looks like it works really nice
looked like a makita impact driver
Dan H yeah I realized later on, crazy how strong it actually is
I use my sear's craftsman on my one ton Ford n Chevy dual rear. I saves me a good deal of time.
Good video! I've tried it this way and it's a pain in the nuts. Every new bearing seems to be made in China and low quality so I've been going to the junkyard and buying the entire hub and exchanging it. Much easier and lasts just as long as new Chinese bearing
In Mother Russia, the bearing presses you.
Dude this made dead🤣🤣🤣
Lol...
y'all clown ass dont kno a damn thing about cars this vid was exactly what I was looking for I don't have the money at the moment to fix my wheel bearing with out press stop asking why the not using proper tools when it clearly say with out press y'all really stupid be so ready to talk shit
They're not Russian.
you need help dude!!! this isn't the way to get attention, not a the expense of others !!
Hope you're using eye protection while you're grinding away. Good video shows what simple hand tools can accomplish.
TO ALL YA PEOPLE TALKING BS, stop it, if you dont like it the way the work dont watch it and dont it, Thats it. This is to show other people without the tools that you can do it. People talking to use a prsss, to use this and that; Dont you understand or dont know how to read???? Read, Read the title of the video, what is says? Helloooooooo
In your introduction, you said i can do this at home?? with all those tools?? I only have pliers and spanner...... and Jump-starters
When I said "if all else fails, hit it with a hammer" I was only kidding!
Not going to lie when you pulled out the sludge hammer I was like “ I guess the little hammer was enough” 😂😂😂 but I continue to watch 🙌🏾💯😂
