I almost feel cheated as that was a hub change. No Marty invention to get the bearings out using only a teaspoon and the top of a Coke bottle.... Your videos always brighten up the day. Thank you for making them.
@@mattj630 If I remember correctly there aren't unloaded hubs available. there's no separate bearing race to knock out of the hub assembly to change only a small part.

Marty will never know the joy of living in the rust belt. If I made a video of the last wheel bearing I did it would be like the filming of Apocalypse Now.
I was gonna say same thing, northern WI here. What size bolt is that? Doesn't matter, just hammer the tightest size impact socket you can on rusted nub and get the pipe wrench and than drill and taps and welder ready just in case. This is after a week of presoaking and splash of torch if you are lucky and than get ready to look like you're ready to fight galactic battles with silver surfer after you heavy dose everything you can with anti seize on reassembly and it has now magically covered your whole body and part of interior and somehow got in fridge. Don't even look at the brake lines or exhaust or you will be fixing those as well. First drive rusty piston in brake caliper sticks because you touched it and reheat treats new bearing and you have run out of swear word combos. If you have never spent a whole day on one bolt, you are not a rust belt mechanic.
This brings back so many memories as to when I was raising a family. Needed to fix and learn how to fix items from the house to the auto and all in between. Thanks for sharing and bringing back memories.
Super jealous at the rust free parts! Around here they dump so much salt on the roads in the winter you would have had to torch every last bolt at least to break them loose if not torch them off, then beat the snot out if the bearing to get it out! Awesome job none the less!!!
Its a good thing you had a calibrated 274-365NM extension tube for your T bar, mine only goes up to 250NM. If it had been me trying to do this, I would have spent half the day releasing the drive shaft from the old bearing assembly.
Excellent video. I drive a fairly similar car and, after watching this video, decided to change the hubs myself when they're up. Thanks for this video, marty.
I recently replaced the left front wheel bearing assembly in my 2012 Chevy Colorado. The bottom rear bolt in the back of the 4 bolts really gave me a hard time. After a few skinned knuckles and mashed fingers it finally came out.
I've never been interested in mechanics and have (almost) no mechanical abilities, but for some reason I like watching Marty do this stuff. Maybe some day I will attempt something more than an oil change.
How do I get so excited when I see a new marty t video. Maybe its just coming of age , maybe its a dad thing . I dont know but top vid as always marty . Hope you and the family are all well buddy.
it really helps if you had mechanically inclined relatives to mentor (not I)- i almost replaced cv boots one time but didn't have the right tool/socket....and of course necessity the mother of invention, so a poor rural person better than urban rich person.
Can you press the old bearing out of the hub and replace it without having to change the whole hub? Did you buy an after market bearing or. OEM? Thanks Marty.
4:29 Lubricating before assembling is a very good practice☝ because most mechanics don't do it and over time it becomes VERY difficult to disassemble metals👍
I really want to send you a Milwaukee 1/2" impact driver, but the shipping would be as much as the product. I picked up a near new used 3/4 unit for 250au. If it can't undo something it will strip or sheer it!
Hey Marty, isn't that an A6 Allroad lurking in the background? Have you got some work to do on it that you might share? I really the original petrol Allroad but they're really too old for me so just got a five year old Volvo V90 Cross Country instead.
Damn Mar tay You are so good you could work in a garage , any garage, any kind of vehicle, hell , anything mechanical, we all hate you, just kidding. Kudos.
I always liked that style wheelbearing to make trailer axles on tube axles for light duty stuff. Poor mans deal for me, I have even used wheel bearings like the one just changed with grease pumped in to the bearing to get the last few miles out of it in a pinch as easy to cut an replace. Not ideal for highway but off highway use in the wood lot where they just got abused hard, who cares if it only lasts a month... it buys time an that to me sometimes is what it takes to round up another nickel for the pocket book
@@MartyT Mechanically there is a big advantage in having axial space between the bearings. A 2wd front axle carrier w hub might not be so compact but it's stronger and u can adjust. IMHO.
A tip I was given to check a wheel bearing that you can’t see any obvious movement or play, is to spin the wheel and with your other hand hold onto the spring and if the bearing is bad you will feel vibration through the spring.
I just wonder, as a clueless woodworker, shouldn't the _nut be loosened half a turn AFTER_ it has been torqued to the specks? (that's how Paul does over at Fab Rats).
Don't you have a trolley jack? I don't trust those scissor jacks. Elastic bungee cords with hooked ends are good for hanging brake calipers whilst doing jobs on hubs.
Thanks going to give it a try just ordered parts mine sound the same and give a vibration at 95 to 110 so got some play. A mechanical strore wanted over 1 grand in Australia plus parts to do this. Ebay 150 for a set of 2. Have rebuilt everything else in under the arch so easy thanks mate for your video will let you no how i go in a few weeks
That bearing came out way too easy. I've changed several front bearings on several Toyota Prius (know problem) and they are always stuck by galvanic reaction between the Aluminum and Iron components. Congrats.
Now you might as well do the other side as preventive maintenance ....my experience with Japanese cars is that have an almost timed failure ..if one side goes the other is not far behind ....in the US those half shafts are cheap enough to also replace at the same time ...again if you already have it apart it saves on labour later
You do great videos, however take it from a mechanic of 70 plus active years, learn to sit on a stool, it will pay off in the long run, squatting is no good. 87 and still going strong. Cheers.
Must be nice to live somewhere where you are not fighting rust constantly on everything you work on......unlike here in Denmark, where theres salt on the roads and the climate is pretty harsh on anything made out of metal
Enjoyed this video bro. Having a complete bearing thing to just pop back in sure saves taking out and banging in new bearings let alone getting covered in grease.Safe travels
Great vid, I followed your example and change the front bearing on my pathfinder today. Most was straight forward but those 4 bolts on the inside were a pain. I also seem to have more rust in Scotland than you do. The bearing was actually stuck to the hub. Managed it though 😀
So I take it the two foot long pipe is your 274 to 364 NM bar and your three foot pipe is 365 to about 450 ...... 🤣🤣 .... Good enough for the bush! Love your vids. Jim Bell (Australia)
Yeah you can get it pretty close to spec by gauging the weight on the bar and judging the distance from the socket to the point of applied weight, also taking into consideration whether the threads are dry or greased
Back here in scotland at be rotting at motor bye now mate has had a few they dont last long. My other pal is a kiwi he is sick of the trade over there he be very happy a think less rust less greif way working on motors way no salt on the roads hafe the year lol!

The struggle is real. Torch set is a required tool.
Imagine living somewhere where the roads aren't sprayed with salt 7 months of the year

He needs a milwaulkee cordless impact wrench- my compact 12v one has incredible power - I’d def be using loctite on those hub bolts
I absolutely love how smart and talented you are, I found your channel back in 2019 and i have been watching ever since, I love your content

I'd suggest changing brake pads, since this is fairly simple and very satisfying. You will get dirty tough!
For those of you that may have missed it, that was 274-364 Newton Marty's on the torque tube.
accurate metric measuring using 1m of 48.3mm scaffold tube shoved over a bar and leant on a bit, but not a lot
"factory specs" 👍😁
Somewhere between 1-2 ugga duggas🤔
Another great repair Marty t .
That hub came out nice and easy, bit of a bonus really not having roads salted, all the salt in NZ goes on the fush and chups
$6.66
I'd luv to have Kiwi or Aussie Fush-n-Chups right now. Greetings from Chiang Mai 🇹🇭 where some places provide "crisps" in place of Chups.
Nice job Marty :) When I do this kind of jobs, I like to use the pressure washer first to get the dirt out, less dirt on parts, hands, etc.
Job done. Have a nice weekend.

😂 this one has had its share of problems, one time it forgot how to change between 2-4wd

Marty, invest in a torque wrench. and make your life easier.
Can you press the old bearing out of the hub and replace it without having to change the whole hub? Did you buy an after market bearing or. OEM? Thanks Marty.
Aftermarket.. Yeah you can but it was quite urgent and I found it easier to buy the hub online rather than hunting down the bearings in town
All it means when you have left over parts is, you created a more efficient system 😂😂😂
4:29 Lubricating before assembling is a very good practice☝ because most mechanics don't do it and over time it becomes VERY difficult to disassemble metals👍
Most mechanics forget parts. That's how they end up with bins of bolts. :))
@@aserta unprepared and incompetent mechanics maybe but any mechanic worth a damn knows how to store bolts they remove for reassembly
Meh, when there is some leftover bolts and nuts, car is just lighter and goes faster 😂
@@dot7107 🤣🤣🤣
Is thats a lubricant or some kind of grease ?
With your skill-set and all the mechanical repair stuff you do, wonder why you dont have a garage with lift?
Great channel Always interesting and diverse content
Can you live in my garage please mate? You're like a one tool fix's all.
I'm the better mechanic, I always have a few bolts left over after repairs.

@@MartyT Mechanically there is a big advantage in having axial space between the bearings. A 2wd front axle carrier w hub might not be so compact but it's stronger and u can adjust. IMHO.
Might be just the right bearing for a manually driven cement mixer for occasional home use, or for a pottery turntable kick-wheel.
Same here Adrian Parker, almost feel cheated too...lol No Marty invention... I use a thing called a torque wrench to 110ft lbs...
"No parts left over". This doesn't happen to me; I normally have a few spare washers at least. 😐
Being a mechanic in eastern Canada, I'm offended at how easily that frigging hub fell out of that knuckle, lol

Too modern. Next thing you'll be fixing computers 🖥 🤣
Thought I was watching Eric O at SMA for a second lol. Great video
I love the fart sound effect you add whenever the grease gun is in the shot.
good work. Don't like the way they made you use a breaker bar on a universal joint, but it is what it is.
Don't you have a trolley jack?
I don't trust those scissor jacks.
Elastic bungee cords with hooked ends are good for hanging brake calipers whilst doing jobs on hubs.

Yes I was surprised it wasn't stuck in there
I've done so many of heating and beating I finally invested in a hub tamer, lots easier now. Still a bitch, but it's a bit easier
Now you might as well do the other side as preventive maintenance ....my experience with Japanese cars is that have an almost timed failure ..if one side goes the other is not far behind ....in the US those half shafts are cheap enough to also replace at the same time ...again if you already have it apart it saves on labour later

Awesome video. glad that you caught it before it broke. love watching your videos. :)
Marty needs a new jack for Christmas.....
I thought those has the larger hubs on them? The same as Toyota's 106mm, or whatever the exact number is. Those don't look that large.
Nice to see I have the same taste in 4x4's as Marty T :D Did this job on my 2006 Navara a couple of years ago.
4:24 I hope that was the grease gun making that noise. 😏
Do you ever take your beautiful wife out for dinner????????
I need to do the same job on my Honda Accord. The bearings are starting to complain about 200K+ miles.
Enjoyed this video bro. Having a complete bearing thing to just pop back in sure saves taking out and banging in new bearings let alone getting covered in grease.Safe travels
Nice job
No bearing to make you crazy !!
(N.m not NM)
Seems much more complicated than back hoes and tractors
I have never had a vehicle where a worn wheel bearing tossed a leg out, all my life. Been lucky i guess? LoL. Bob LH.
Another way to get the nut off is as you said with the wheel back on but to then use a jack on the end of the breaker bar.
What was that @4:24? Sounded like a duck!?! 😂
No soaking in diesel fuel? How disappointing.
Easy! Nice job. That an old Audi A6 hiding in the back there? What’s the story there?
I might do a vid on that soon ;)

Great video! -A little bit more fart and it would have started! 🙈
Hang on, what does the new one sound like when you spin it? I was curious.
New one is silent and smooth, on the old one you could hear a slight clicking, the noise was very noticeable when driving faster than 20kms
