This is my SUV. Drove 46 miles to AMD's shop to get it fixed. TOTALLY WORTH IT! Him and Mrs car care are very nice and humble.
I have your Ironman Imoves on a 11 GS 350. They are noisy :lol:. Don't last long either.
I wish live that close to them, unfortunately, I am about 2k miles away
@@alb12345672 They came with the truck, so I can't complain. Also new brakes and rotors. Looks like the previous owner was trying to fix the noise coming from wheel bearing LOL. Lucky me I guess.
@@aungwin1013 I feel you pain. I used to think the same about Scotty Kilmer, and then I found Mr AMD channel.
@@HappyCarReviews They are ok, they seem pretty strong, I hit potholes, they hold up. But, the car does have a "tire noise" I couldn't get any bearing feelings in the springs. Also, they are not so great in the snow. Very mediocre tire.
This is old so I'm sure you won't see this but to anyone that comes across this, the trick for holding on to the spring to diag the wheel bearing worked like magic. I've been chasing down a noise that originally wasn't bad enough to be sure it's a wheel bearing in our AWD Sienna. This was the trick and worked perfectly to feel exactly what he described!
WOW! Hold the spring!! AMAZING!!! I'm a do it urselfer, auto shop in HS, & GM trained in the 70's, worked as a mechanic in a gas station, & now a senior. I've learned SO much from all ur videos! U dont KNOW how good u REALLY ARE! 👍🇺🇸
Diagnosis is the most difficult part. You are the master, and make it look easy.
Dealing with rusty hubs is a lot harder than diagnosis. Diagnosis for a bearing is easy if you attach a stethoscope to the hub while the wheels are off the ground on the lift.
He’s not only a good mechanic he’s a good person. This man is a national treasure.
This is probably the best, most detailed video I have ever seen on UA-cam, no unnecessary BS. Straight to the point and only helpful tips! I’m now ready to do my wife’s Rx 330 hub. This guy is amazing and what a Great overall video!
You are an excellent “teacher”. So spot on with guidance recognizing a job that can be easy or how it can easily become a mess. Yet encourage us to grow as a DIY’ier. Three thumbs up!!!
Having attempted to replace a rear wheel hub bearing on a 2002 Camry 6 years ago with a slide hammer and getting nowhere to the point of giving up and handing the job off to the corner gas station I really appreciate this video for the detail and care you've provided. I think your explanations and suggestions would have helped me a lot. The bearing hub got replaced with an aftermarket hub and 3 years later had to be replaced again, so your thoughts to whether or not to go OEM from Toyota for 3 times the cost of the aftermarket bearing ring true as well if intending to keep the car for a long long time. Thanks for the terrific video.
Watching you working on that bearing replacement, one realizes how skilled you are. That bearing looks a beautiful piece of engineering, also.
Now we know why bearing replacement by a Toyota main dealer costs so much.
Also, you must have made a very significant investment in tools and fitting out your new workshop.
I hope that you are beginning to gain some real returns with customers repairs.
Great DIY video, AMD! I really appreciate all the tips and tricks for DIYers to avoid specialty tools, awareness of pitfalls like mushrooming the axle end, etc. You really make it look easy and give confidence to try out repairs!
Seeing the parking brakes in this video gave me a bit of PTSD since I still haven't managed to fix ours that just won't hold properly, even after many adjustments and much inspection of the parts and installation. Would be great to have a video on parking brake repair tips, tricks, and pitfalls in the future!
I would have never thought of that spring trick. So glad I watched your show. So many good tips especially about patience.
Wow great tip on holding the spring and spinning the wheel, I didn't know that one!!
I live in rustville USA, and after using sandpaper, wire brush, etc I will always apply a little bit of anti seize to all parts so the next time it's even easier. As for staking, I like to use a rounded punch and just dimple in the slot, and then push the dimple out via the channel for removal. Have to say seeing the condition of the parking brake had me cleaning/lubing it from here. Nice video.
Right on! Anti-seize is a must. I use it on just about everything that is prone to corrosion/elements.
I see car care nut video, I click. No questions asked. Thanks!
Perfect timing! I am getting a noisy bearing on my RAV 4 and could not locate which bearing is noisy. Never saw the hand on the spring tip. I will try that today. Thanks a million!
Great video AMD!!
I've done a couple on the RX330. One took me an hour, one took me 2 days. Oh the joy! Having the right tools makes all the difference in the world.
Would love to see you do the press in front bearings and how to properly assemble and adjust the Toyota/Lexus parking brakes. They can be fussy!
Thanks AMD ! At least now I know how to do the job. I'm still waiting for the rear wheel bearings to go, on my 2003 v6 4wd Highlander. I bought it new, and I'm at 400,000 hard miles, a lot of off road, snow ,salt, etc. I do all my own maintenance and repairs. I love the technique, to determine which is the bad wheel bearing, by holding the spring. You just taught an "Old Dog a New Trick". Excellent job, keep up the good work.
That's a great tech tip about holding the spring and rotating the wheel.
Thank you for this video.
Hello,
We feel that you are passionate about your profession and that you enjoy passing on your knowledge, in all simplicity and humility. I hope your garage is now on the right path and business is great.
From France.
Your technique of grabbing the spring to feel if the wheel bearings are shot even worked for my Can Am side-by-side four wheeler. Thanks!
As usual you are incredible and so very helpful! Watch every single video you release! Whenever possible keep the 4Runner videos coming…us 4Runner owners are insane about maintenance and DIY. God bless you!!
Really appreciate the work you put into these videos. It's very much appreciated.
I have a 2010 RX 350, used this method, and found the bad bearing ( RT Frt), replaced it, super quiet now! THANK YOU SIR!
Well, I thought since you speak some Spanish, because of your wife 😁
Es increíble el valor de su conocimiento. Muchas muchas gracias!!!
Un fuerte apretón de manos 🤝
Pregunta???
Y porqué no poner un film de grasa en el eje, ó???
It calls my attention since this is something helpful for, brakes, for instance???? Gracias una vez mas
Awesome job like always. Hope business is booming for you and mrs car care nut.
Your knowledge and tips are always so amazing.
Another amazingly thorough and well thought out and detailed video.
Thank you. 👍👍
Sharp hair cut there AMD. No doubt Mrs. Car Care Nut preformed it!
It’s the Toyota haircut cheap and efficient
@@Knightfall23 Agreed!
Yes cool😎
Hi AMD, you make this look easier for a DIY beginner like me. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Wishing you a great day.
Well explained and lots of support for the DIY out here.
Thanks for sharing how to detect the bad bearing, very good trick.
I replaced both rear wheel bearings on my 2011 rav 4. One easy way to fit out out is if you have a thermal imager to compare the temp of the hub on all 4 wheels. I had one has was noisy when I took it out but it wasn’t humming of making a noise but it was gone and same for front one that was bad as well p. Use a thermal imager to measure hub/rotor temp
How many miles on your 2011 Rav? I have a 2011AWD with about 130K. There is noise coming from a wheel but not sure it is wheel bearing.
You are a very talented in the way you teach diy'ers, building the confidence to go about these jobs. Great, keep up.
Thank you. Every time I have a problem with my Toyota Venza I always watch your videos first. I have a bad right rear hub bearing.
I have seen a great deal of mechanics that give a lot of good information. But you sir are one of the BEST! thank you I enjoy all of your videos....
Never seen that before, holding the spring and feeling the noise from the bearing. Very clever.
I used to gently spin the hub gently and feel for a rough movement, it feels like the roller bearing is square and not round. It has a notchy feel.
Fun to see a master at work.
Thank you for the quality information, this is one of my favorite channels.
I'm actually glad a lot of companies (or most) went to a sealed bearing assembly where you just replace the entire hub. Pounding out a bearing can be a pain, and while replacing the hub itself is more expensive, it's cheaper if you're having someone else do it probably because it's literally a unbolt / bolt-on replacement. I was able to do my old Civic's rear hubs in about an hour (It took me longer than it probably should have because I didn't have a manual and had to sort of figure things out and take pictures as I went) but it saved me about $300 in labor (I had to do both rear bearings) as shops where charging $150 for labor and supplies at the time although I will say that I did sort of go a little cheap and used an after market assembly for $100 since I wasn't keep the car that long anyway. But if I was planning on keeping the car I would definitely get OEM hubs.
Great tip on using the spring to feel the worn bearing!
I replaced both of my rear hubs 2 years ago in my 2006 Highlander 2wd. The ABS cover rusted out, exposing the bearings to the weather. There was no question of which bearing locked up. Yes, I used a high quality aftermarket hub and no problem in 2 years. Mine required backing plates.
AMD your shop is looking amazing. Every time I get a wish that I'm closer to it. Excellent video. Thank you.
Great work, your videos have been a real help!
Thank you AMD for another awesome DIY Video. Another job done with attention to detail. 👍👍
Your a genius, thank you so much for your help. That procedure for checking bearings worked great!
Great Video AMD! Looking forward to that front press-in bearing video 🤞😁
I learned something today.
Excellent video
Great advice. Tomorrow is another day - I'll give it a shot.
Your videos are by far the best.
You make it look so darn easy.
Your skills set never stops amaze me ! Wowwww 👏👏👏
Great tip about cutting the stake before removing the axle nut, thanks.
Great job, I really like the way you talked through the replacement. Thank you
I am hearing the humming sound on my LS430. I'm gonna try this tomorrow and see what bearing it is. Thank you so much!!
Awesome job, You made it look so easy. The hardest part is getting the seized wheel bearing hub from the backing plate especially being on there for 18 yrs original part and all the rust and salt built up.
Yup. Made it look easy with this example of a car that wasn't super rusty. Rusty cars are a lot more "fun" to deal with.
Great video and some excellent tips. Here’s a tip for you, if you have the notch in the hub facing upwards you can access all the bolts without having to turn the hub.
Amazing explanation and very professional work. Pleasure to watch and learn mechanics! Greetings from Bulgaria 🇧🇬
Greetings grom Reublc of Srpska !
Wow good advice feeling the spring
Thanks for this tip! Much appreciated!
Never knew the spring trick. Glad I clicked this vid thanks!
Great job explaining step by step: 👍
Outstanding instruction as always. When I need to know I always know who to turn to.
Great video AMD. Very insightful and instructive
I have no interest in mechanics yet I watched the entire video because of how enjoyable you made it, thank you really..
Any update on the RAV4 Hybrid corrosion cable issue?
Working on a video for that topic.
Looking forward to the press-on bearing video....
Next level info, THANKS!!!
Love your shop well deserved 👊🏻
Just did the job myself, video came in handy. Couldn't afford 500 for the toyota oem quality one, so I went with the next best thing there was. Timken makes good wheel hubs, paid 80 bucks on ebay. They wanted 180 on Amazon. 💪 Took me 30 minutes. Live in chicagoland area so i was scared i was gonna run into issues with rust. Lucky me looked like someone had done the job before but with an unknown part,you could see the antiseize left behind.
That vibration can travel up the spring and strut . Inside the car the sound can be loud. My girlfriend's Scion started making this awful noise on her way home from work one day. I suspect the wheel bearing. I still need to really look at it. I have a knuckle/bearing/hub already assembled just in case.
Ive used a brass hammmer or brass punch on axles when doing jobs at home. This was an excellent video.
Very good tip. About to work on gen 2 Prius rear - luckily no differentials, etc. to worry about. Thanks!
Great tips, thank you!
Very well-made video! Thank you for the attention to detail!
AMD, My Toyota bearings have lasted 17 years without an issue. If I need to change one, I will stick with OEM 🤩
Good idea, Japanese OEM bearings 20+ years (400,000+ kms) versus Chinese bearings 2+ years (40,000kms). Chinese bearings are a constant ongoing repair bill. Probably something to keep in mind with the more affordable Chinese electric car models that will flood the car market within the next 10-20yrs.
Great video my friend. Very informative.🇨🇦🇺🇸
Great tips and advice, especially with the possibilities that could happen at the end
Please don't forget to do the front video. Please! More Camry's and Carola's. Thank you for all the knowledge you share.
Thank you so much for your clear explanations
Thank you so much for this lecture.
Love your channel man, bring so much knowledge in detail to me, i am subscribing now
AMD, sure look forward to your review and work on other makes and models.
I have a 99 Camry with drum brakes and the wheel bearing falls right out once the four bolts are removed. One of the easier DIY jobs I have done.
Great explanation
Interesting concept, thanks for sharing this.
Very good and informative video thank you
Thank you. Very good !!
Like how the new shop looks
Awesome video…thanks so much. Someone posted this in the tundras forum…may try this on my Tundra.
Did I miss something or is there a specific torque on the axle nut?
Nice and clean work. Great job done ✅
Thank you 🙏
He is Good. Enjoy watching him work.
Just subscribed. Great video! Great way to diagnose wheel bearings! Your videos are clear, your explanation, and your demonstration of the repair was very clear. I will come to your channel for any repairs I will do in the future. Thank you!
Love your work..
Your videos are great, you explain thing’s really well. Thanks!
Great video. I remember when I did both of my front wheel bearings on my 2014 altima. Tell you want. They'll dam sure let you know, when they start going out.
youare the best in explaination. thanks man.
Great video, very informative.
You are the best, hope everything is going well.
