Thanks for the great video! I am in Nova Scotia, Canada just north of you folks. My wheel hub condition looks to be exactly the same as yours was. Should be a fun job!
Looks like I need to invest in a Caliper compressor to be able to "properly" replace just my hub. Though, Like that 2010 Mazda 3, my 09 could probably use a rotor and pad replacement, as well... Unfortunately, it cost me my current savings to just get the 1 hub.---- Is there any way to compress the caliper w/o having that specialized tool? (and to think I thought this was going to be an "easy" and "quick" task.)
Sorry it depends on the caliper. Sometimes you need the correct tools for the job. Like going in for surgery and the surgeon tries using a serrated steak knife you might not want that one
@@rcguygarage Good news is, Didn't "need" the compressor, as no pad/rotor replacement was necessary. Just a bit of a shimmy and it slid back into place with precision fit. (No doubt, had it be a brake/rotor replacement, that compressor would be EXTREMELY handy, if not needed.) Though, we ran into a slight variation of a problem. The 4 bolts holding the hub to the main mount, yours was a standard hex-head bolt. Mine, a T50 Torques was required, and they were so seized that it took myself and a friend a solid 2-3hrs of fighting it, oiling it (with blaster), and some how getting a breaker bar on the wrench, just to get 2 of them free. Once those 4 bolts were out, the rest was a cake walk, thanks to your video. Now, gonna save the funds to do the rear passenger hub... then the front 2.
@@missionnad1 well...I thought I had I kept hearing that “particular noise" and I was sure it was, I believe I did the job backwards 🤔..... First I replaced de shocks, then the hubs (after I watched you video), still hearing the noise, finally find out that “the noise" might coming from the tires since they wore out unevenly since the shocks were in bad shape ,so next step is take the car to have the tires unmounted , balanced and alignment .... hopefully this would help until the tires get even, also, this mistake of mine would help your viewers
Great video, but I must say after all the money spent on the hubs, rotors, brakes, why not replace those crappy rusted brake shields that only cost about 20.00 each? You already did all the work to get them off.
The best wheel bearing replacement video I've seen so far, much appreciate it man! 🙏
don't forget to pump the brake before moving ;)

Ahah I’m from ns to lol
Take a file and clean the rust strip for about 7 inches on both sides before removing the brake. A lot easier.
Quick rip with the dg makes quick work but this is shown using the basic hand tools with the exception of the blow gun
Thanks, my 07 Mazda 3 had T50 bolts instead of 14 mm, otherwise identical, great vid👍
🙏💯👍
Those pads were in great shape and did not need replacement. Worn is 1/8 inch 3/16.
Right this was done as a completed request from the customer as the other side had frozen slide pins. Thanks👍
17:17 I can hear your little cricket assistant.
🤣😂 yes
Great video, I am going to do mine . Thank for sharing.
Hello, I recently did a wheel bearing replacement on my Mazda 3 2008 but when I finished the ABS light turned on and I am wondering why this was
Lot of possible things to address. If only changing one side you may have to clean the other side as signal might be stronger on the replacement part.
I’ve done this too many times. I just do my own now. Don’t care if someone pays me to do it. Lol

Wheel hub assembly could of come right off with 2 or 3 strikes using a slide hammer .,, easy
Not many people attempting this repair have one👍
You're a good instructor, thanks for this 👍
Great video! Thanks for the help.
Very helpful vid... I'll doing mine soon and this would make the job a lot easier!!!👍🏼🤟🏼
Do you have problem with rear hub bearings?

To check the tires first before doing any major repair like I did lesson learn, peace out🤟🏼
@@JuanMartinez-qp6yg Thanks.
How many kilometers have the car ?

@@missionnad1 I got the basic Mazda 3 model and it has 110.000 miles on it I bought it last year with 93000 miles
Thank you for share with me

The car isn't staying with the client. They needed to just pass inspection. 👍
Nicely Done Great Job👍🏼
Nice video!
