ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- Come along with Eric O. at the SMA shop as he goes through the procedure of changing a rear hub assembly / wheel bearing on a 2005 Buick Lacrosse. This vehicle has an ABS speed sensor built into the hub but some however do not. This is a pretty standard procedure for many makes and models of GM vehicles.

I owned and operated my own garage for 10 years, recently sold it and I still watch SMA. My wife says why are you watching that, you already know that, I said you can always learn something. Great channel Eric.
Afirm, Every days a school day
Eric O... Best mechanic on TH-cam and he's cranking out a video almost every day.
Trying my best to keep the people happy
@@SouthMainAuto And doing a great job. Too bad I live so far away. (Western Canada) As a retired mechanic, I'd love to 'chew the fat' . I so respect your skills and attitude!
Mr. O your videos have personally saved me over $100 when I watched how to replace the ignition switch on a Chevy Blazer.
I don't know what I like more, your liberal use of brake clean, or the sound effect when you show us the can.
Keep the great videos coming. I thoroughly enjoy each and every one.

How could anyone dislike this video? Perfectly straightforward and informative...what's not to like? Jeez.
Break Clean is magical liquid that deserves to be celebrated, which Eric "O" does!
Morning coffie, donut...and another episode of SMA - life is b-e-a-utiful :)
Very instructive and done at a pace that suits me. You are very meticulous which I find a rare quality nowadays. Keep it up.
This guy is good, but you should watch some of the Chris Fix videos, you also be amused....and learn a few tricks here and there....
Hey, Eric, I like your videos when you're diagnosing problems It helps me think of ways I can find problems.
Anybody can turn a wrench and replace parts that why we have so many parts changers.
You should have a talk show. You are just entertaining to watch. Great video as always.
I love watching Big Nasty get the job done. someone should make a Big Nasty montage.
Excellent. Your one liners crack me up and make my wife wonder what I'm watching.
Right?! 🤣
I like the saying "If I can do it you can do it" but the truth is I cant do it! The videos are awesome though. They make it so I can do more.
SMA video on the cruise keeping me sane!
Haha I try my best sir
Thanks SMA! I'm doing my rear bearing hubs this week (great vacation) on my 2000 Grand Prix. Hopefully it's similar enough.
You've also helped me with replacing the water pump on the same car after seeing your video for GM water pump replacement. Which is the first video I watched of SMA and got hooked almost 5 years ago!
Mr O,and brake cleaner,on a Monday,the week is looking up!!!
More to come this week to and I think it gets even better!
Well done Eric. I like the classic reach-around ratchet.
Love it when the inbox says SMA video posted. Love it!
New to your channel, awesome videos! I can't get over the number of hub bearings you have to change. I live in western Canada, it is rare to have a hub bearing go out...mind you, we don't near have the corrosion issues you guys do. I have a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 with 187500 miles, factory hub bearings. Anyway, again really enjoy your videos!
Sure enjoy your explaining what your doing. Very informative and you talk like we are right there with you. Great Job as usual
After watching many of your videos I know one thing for absolute certain. I am sure glad I live in Texas where corrosion isn't a problem like it is up North, screw salted roads every damn year.
Just had to replace an 09 acadia's rear wheel bearing a couple days ago. No shop or fancy tools, just an air uga duga and ping pinger. It refused to give up the ghost, and was such a painful experience. And to top it off, had the pleasure of the e brake cable and pads to have fun with. 10/10 experience. ^.^
Awesome!!! Thanks a billion for making & posting!!!
Great video,very helpful, I struggled with removing a rear bearing on my 05 Grand Am last night and failed.Today I'll attack it with the impact as you did. Thanks for this helpful tutorial, its going to make my day go a lot easier.
Wow Eric you are up early in the morning didn't know the sun comes up so early I'm in the same time zone its dark here thanks for the chime 😀
Perfect timing. My 2005 Malibu started making rear bearing noises last week. Will try your impact hammer trick to remove them.
The instructions on my 2011 SRX said to remove the ABS sensor too, but just using my own sense and checking with some measurement I've confirmed that you don't need to at least on that one, it sits right behind the reluctance ring, and won't interfere or be harmed by a wheel hub assembly replacement.
This video is a life saver! I have a blue 2005 lacrosse that has a bad wheel bearing on that side! This will be my go to video for when i do it myself, thank you so much!
Better getting "never seize " on yourself than Blood! It doesn't hurt to think of the next guy either ; as your current videos seem to imply. Am glad to see you wearing the necessary PPE.
Thanks so much for this video. Being from upstate NY the videos I watched on how to replace a rear hub all showed the hub coming out no problem. Your trick to hammer it till it spins did the trick on my rear 2014 upstate impala limited. I would have been stuck without this video.
Good video, when the hub fell out I thought "this is going too easy, similar bad is coming" I've never tried rotating the bearing ask like that but that'll be normal now, thanks.
loved the dramatic entrance of the brake clean at 12:44! 🖒
"pulled out too soon" Eric O. 2017
Rather doubtful as he has three children.
@@satamanschmidt3428 that's why he doesn't have 4
I love Regals. Ive got a 03 LS. It came with the grand touring package. Full leather, 16 in aluminum wheels, rear spoiler. Gonna drive it til it wont go no more.
It not really the upper intake manifold that leaks coolant. It's the lower intake manifold gaskets which used a nylon gasket carrier (which is dissolved by Dexcool) that causes the leak. Replace with either the Delco or Fel-Pro lower intake manifold gaskets which have an aluminum carrier design and those fix this problem. The plastic upper intake manifold of the original Series II design had problems with the EGR passage melting. That caused a leak as well. ATP makes a good replacement plastic upper intake manifold.
Glad to see you are still using all German torque specs, gudentite.
Good timing Eric O. right before I heading off to work. Big Nasty "Astro 4980" is on beast mode yet again. A + informative content, no coffee yet for me but soon. Thanks for the video
Eric...PLEASE ...always wear your hearing protection whenever you use those air tools. AND wear a dust mask when working with grinders/sanders and around brakes. Believe me...you DON'T want to end up with Tinnitus or lung problems. I speak from experience...do it for Vanessa and the kids. Oh yeah...great video as usual!
Happens to some people, doesnt with others. My grandfather, died in his 50s. Hole in his heart (native american) and lungs were blackened with shop dust/paint etc.
A friend of mine decided to try out welding in his early 30s, he didnt wear a mask. 1 of his eyes are seeing blurry, permanently now. (He closed his eyes, turned his head to tack, light went through his closed eyelid, on the side facing the weld)
@@DarkLinkAD Your friend should visit the local "tech school" and tell his story to the new folks. Sorry for his loss.
@@DarkLinkAD Where's your example of the "doesn't" with others?
@@williamhoudersheldt7076 I think most of TH-cam has plenty of anecdotal evidence for those not affected.
Let's see: Loaded for bear - two antibiotics, four painkillers, lack of sleep, can only take hot or cold beverages, a week off from work, pain so bad that a broken foot suffered 12 years ago would be preferable - Tonsillitis, yep, but South Main makes it much more bearable and somehow puts a smile in my face.
Gosh I hope that is not true :/ Yikes!
Yep, it unfortunately true - In one 24 hour sequence, went to my Physician and the ER, the latter lancing the daylights out of the swollen tonsil. But South Main always give me an anticipation like opening a VERY large box of assorted chocolates and choosing and picking the piece and taking the first bite, knowing that is going to be good and never a disappointment.
Get those suckers taken out. As you get older, the bouts are hard on the heart. And they don't get any better.
Could be an ad campaign. Eric O covered in never seize, captioned "Never Seize Never Leaves"
Eric O, excellent video. You are great guy as you listen to your subscribers what they ask or comment. That's why you're popular guy! you definitely deserve over a million subscribers.
one thing I like to point out that,
you remembered things when your subscriber asked : - safety glasses, ear protection. awesome!!! we want you around for years to come! cuz us subscribers love every video you put out!! :)
I recently did the rear brake job on Toyota Camry, tough, tough job. brake shoes AND brake pads as well. those were so tiny, hell of a fiddle job! Ugh!
Eric when you were using the die grinders I thought you were a dentist for a minute.
Excellent! Can you show us how clean the inside surface where the new hub seats has to be next time? The outside surface can be seen pretty good, it's just the inside.
Also, rust and corrosion are interchangeable. Rust just refers to iron oxide, which has the brown/copper color we all know and love. Other metals like Zinc and aluminum corrode with a whitish buildup. All oxidization causes an expansion effect which locks shit together, so it all sucks. Iron metals are porous enough though that the rust can just go through the whole piece over time. Aluminum and zinc corrode at a basically negligible rate after they get their initial coat of patina.
Lol you made that look easy. Every days a school day, first time I’ve seen the air chisel used in this way..... cracking ( no pun intended ) many thanks
I LIKE BIG NASTY! Great way to loosen the hub assembly! And of course......"Torque To Spec!"
That music when that brake can shows up LOL
You are a video uploading machine! Another great one. Well done Eric!
No time to sleep Mike! The people are demanding their vidoes man so go get busy!
Rainman ray and eric o are both doing the brake clean thadda sound lol good one eric i know things aren't as easy as in florida
thank you for the channel Mr.O just made a big purchase from your store and will be making more soon
Never seize never seizes to amaze me :)
Good real world demonstration of the advantage of using it. An excellent test environment, the northeast....
Top work, no hamburger face, no eggs in a basket, but a squirt of the good stuff, sat watching in the rainy UK 40mph winds , eating my evening meal at 7.30 in the evening glass of red, and this, my idea of a great start to an evening, Keep it up Eric O its all good. Dave
Fish and chips i hope :D
South Main Auto Repair absolutely yes! if I still lived in England. I would be having fish and chips and beer draft and my smokes and big screen TV with SMA at the Pub. oh yeah :)
Not this time, that is normally enjoyed with a cup of tea old boy, also chip butties, now you got me hungry again
Dave Wade hahaha, and me too!!! haha
Thanks a lot for the video.. just saved me 450 at the shop... basically if you can change brakes you can change these Gm hubs
You remind me of a friend I had growing up! Very cool to see... Thx!
WELCOME BACK SMA
Well that's my next 16 minutes sorted then 👍🏼
Could have played some "ebony ivory" or "black or white" with them gloves!! Another great video thank you sir!
Just got the 216QL in from Amazon. Haven't had time to use it. "Big Nasty" will be here next week. 😱
Love this short and to the point video. On a side note, Mr O is only a few uploads away from 400 videos. Eric you should change the channel name to South Main Film Studios ! 😎
I just got my stubby. Never used one before. I use it exclusively except when I need something really snug (axle nut).
You are awesome....I've learned so much from your vids. I watch your vids all the time..Your delivery/demeanor is the best....Please keep up the great work....Loving it
I hate hub assemblies and wheel bearings in general. One of the worst jobs you can do in the rust belt :/ Especially if you don't have strong impact tools available.
ice44567 I live in rust belt and I've always liked doing bearings and suspension stuff. Mostly because you gotta get violent. Fun times!
ice44567 don't forget a possibility of needing a torch
ice44567 I know how you feel.
"pulled out too soon" LOL! I've never had that problem.
Who can possibly dislike these vids? Bunch of haters, probably can't even change a tire...if you dont like this stuff go watch Discovery Channel "mechanic" shows. Keep those vids rolling Eric. Kudos for the hard work you put into your video production alongside your REAL mechanic work!
Yeah it is ok, always less than 1% of the thumbs ups :)
Thanks for this video, it saved me a lot of heartache!
eric i'm surprised nobody pick up on the one thing you didn't do..But i'll let them figure it out on there own ... not going to say .thanks for the vids bud
Watching Eric clean out that knuckle sounded/looked the dentist picking at my teeth. Lot's of rotary air tools and a reasonable amount of picking out schmoo with a pointy-ended device.
Eric thanks for the video...you are a true professional and entertaining to watch.
Fun fact about the Buick Lacrosse. Here in Canada, they had to call it the Buick Allure....because LACROSSE in French translates
to" " self gratification" So GM produced two sets of literature and all those different emblems to keep from offending our French brothers.
Even funnier though was that later post 2009 they sell the LACROSSE in Canada. Go figure.
"Step 1 - remove the tire" , step 2 - Remove the wheel as well ;-) Only kidding Eric, these sort of videos are great - especially helping with the tricks to remove things that have welded themselves together with corrosion.
Another great video Eric O....and now even the President is watching !!!! :-)
Hahaha, when you were cookie wheeling that crap off the back of the rotor I know you were gonna say cadi-wompus!!!
It seems like you do quite a bit with GM vehicles. This Buick's design is very similar, if not exactly, like my 2008 Impala. Do you have a video doing a complete parking/E brake repair on these types of vehicles?
Edit: Actually, after watching the video, where was the parking brake? Usually, the parking brake shoe sits inside the rear rotor.
Screw in pistons aka actuated caliper...the parking brake is the caliper
Eric, i know this R&R of rear wheel bearing hub was from a while ago
but i wonder did you torq the mounting hub bearing bolts to spec? i may have missed that?
maybe your impact drive has an adjustable torq range??
I like the adjustable-head flashlight. that, with a Velcro strap and you can now solve many of the perpetual "perfect lighting" issue when fixing cars
send a link for the adjustable head flashlight
You do a wonderful job on your video and you have a good personality for it. When reinstalling the wheel bearing hub assembly would you see anything wrong with using high temp wheel bearing grease instead of Fluid film on the wheel bearing bracket? This would keep it from corroding and make it easy to remove the wheel bearing assembly in the future if needed. Thanks.
This has been helpful. It will be easier than doing front bearing on my allure
great video I have an 07 that I need to do the same thing. Looks pretty easy. Thanks for the video
Great video Eric. Very informative. Thanks for sharing
Good video Eric O , I have been watching your videos since you have been on You tube , and would like to say thank you. But the anticipation on your little red project car is killing me, when are we going to see some videos on it. And I know your a busy man with customers cars but was just wondering and keep up the good work brother, you would make a killing and love it down here in Tucson Arizona, no rust and things just fall off in your hands when unbolted. :)
I've been telling him what you just said for years. The Red Honda will give us some good videos but how about, as Prince would have said: a "Little Red Corvette. baby you're much too fast.
I use Anti Seize on everything I put together and take apart unless I need thread locker where only required , Grease the hell out of anything and everything I can to keep the rusties away
Always better to pull out too soon as opposed to too late!😉
True story
We've got the President, Big Nasty, AND Wearever Gold in the comments section now! :D
Miracles never cease - a GM component designed with the tech in mind! Amazing!!
Boy, does Big Nasty make these jobs easy or what!?! Best invention EVER. :)
Lisle has a stud tool to install studs quickly.
I worked on suv from PA. removed the transmission and installed it with hand tools. rusted bollts nuts. every single one. imagine that was easy what he did.
Nice bird song in the background!
Eric O......Great job....
I’m glad to see you used eye and ear protection, but what about us watching big nasty was so loud I could barely see 😁
Know what tools are used would be a huge help.
I'm amazed that just 4 small bolts hold the wheel hub on! I've always thought you weren't supposed to use a air impact wrench to tighten lug nut?
The impact he's using has a torque stick on it. This tool prevents over-tightening the lugs. I use them in my job, and they work.
all wheel bearings should be made like that
A. This takes longer when it's badly rusted.
B. What would the correct torque spec be for the 4 bolts that hold the bearing assembly on?
Eric, can you sum up, over your years in the business what the best cars/trucks are to work on and best built?
I'm betting he says Toyota.
He said in one of his other videos. Hondoo!!
He refuses to answer this question lol Ive asked him once before
Its nice when they are gravy.
when you said dont forget to pump the brakes it reminded me of a day at my shop one of my employees didn't pump the breaks and went to back out and just so happend the advance auto truck pulled in the door and he hit the truck cost me 2 new bumpers and cost him his job i let him go it wasn't the first time he did it but got lucky the first time and didnt hit anything
Is it possible to dismantle the hub assembly and check what bearing is in there and then with the old bearing go to specialized bearing shop and buy such bearing and then install the new bearing only?
I HAD to look it up...
The definition of cattywampus, often spelled catawampus, is not lined up or not arranged correctly, or diagonally. An example of something cattywampus are the positions of the items on the top of a coffee table after a two year old has been playing with them and moving them around.
If I don't have an air hammer is this something to attempt in the driveway? regular small sledge and chisel work
Would the rear hub bearing if it’s bad make the top of the tire push in and the bottom stick out ??
how about using a slide hammer on your next one? You are still the best!
Great job Eric!
Great Job! Very Professional and experienced 👏🏾 👌 keep up the good/great work bro😊
Good job Mr O
You can use brake clean on stuff other than transmissions? Amazing.
