Front Wheel Bearing Replacement (Without a Hydraulic Press) [8th Gen FG1 Honda Civic]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- In today's video, I show you how to remove and old wheel bearing and how to replace it with a new one. This process is very similar across all vehicles, but specifically I will be working on a 2009 Honda Civic DX Coupe. You will need to rent a slide-hammer and axle puller, as well as a bearing press kit from your local auto parts store!

Easy way to know if abs side of bearings are installed right is to make sure the magnetic side of bearing is installed towards the engine. Not all bearing have colored seals so use a small piece of metal to see what side of bearing is magnetic and then u will know what side is what
Ive been a mechanic for 40 years and its great to see a young man not afraid to work on a car and get dirty. Good job
I agree, Mr dave the brave
What's wrong with wearing gloves so you don't cake yourself in toxic chemicals?
That's pretty much common sense to me.
maybe send him a pair of snap ring pliers, though? He got it done anyway.
One of the best repair videos I have seen. Easy to follow and clear instructions, size of bolts given, good video shots and no excess verbiage. Good job.
So refreshing to hear someone so well spoken! Using the correct words for things and actions...what a concept
He did the whole job like a professional in Nike flip flops that's funny
Cap
A Pro would not use the nut of the extraction tool on the outer side when extracting the bearing due to the issue the "pro" ran into 'not getting the bearing all the way out'
A Pro would not have nicked the hub.
A Pro would would not "chip" away on a 'Snap Ring' AKA 'Circlip'.
A Pro would not wear flip flips on the job due to the potential of falling heavy objects/tools.
This video convinced me to pay someone else and save my time for something else. GREAT job though young man and great instructions.
Thank you, I have finally found a way to remove and place wheel bearings without having to use a press.
Good job, buddy! Love to see young guys working on cars. When using that kit to draw in the bearing, if you put the long nut on the end that is drawn in to a hole or a receiving cup, it will be easier to hold onto the nut.
Thanks for the tip!
Super helpful, I used this video and changed my bearing. I had just had my car fixed after a bad accident only to find out I still had to wait to drive it after I had it fixed. Now I'm road ready. Thanks man!
Jacob Reyes sweet, I’m glad the video helped you out!
You did an excellent job. I had an FB mobile mechanic replaced my front bearings and he really messed it up by putting dents on my new wheel bearings.. He also replaced my lower balljoints and cv axles and he even installed the lower balljoints without the grease fittings and he called himself a mechanic. Yesterday I removed the front struts, balljoints and cv axles from my vehicle and the car now is running fine.
Lil Bru knows his stuff, articulate and has a gud vibe. 👌
the one thing that soooooo many people do wrong in these videos is checking to make sure the bearing has enough seat pressure when the hub is installed. if your press does not have a guage then you will have to go by feel (which is an aquired, done a whole lot of them successfully - no come-backs, talent) with a torque wrench on the nut portion of a name brand hub puller (i have seen only one cheap one that had one and it was an Astro "MAC" copy) it should take around 210 inch pounds of torque to turn it. i have had success with as little as 65 inch pounds, but that vehicle did not pass state inspection for wheel play seven months later, i used a higher quality (priced also) bearing the second time around! thank you, it was a decent video!
You forgot to tell them the brown side of the wheel bearings goes in the the abs sensor. Helpful tip great vib keep it up.
Or whichever side of the bearing sticks magnetically to screwdriver, socket, etc.

Thanks, I wouldve probably stuck it in and call it a day... good to know for future reference
GOOD VIDEO !!! very informative. I have to do this for a 2016 Honda CRV. Should be a similar process. The only thing I do different when pressing in new bearings, I put them in the freezer overnight it makes them slide in so much easier. And old-timer showed me that years ago. Again thanks for the video !!!
buy dry ice or use deep freezer and dip the bearing for 20 min. No need puller to install bearing. Next do this with inner part. Good video
Good video, concise. easy to follow ,no waffle job well done,. My only criticism and its a very small one is when you hammer the nut and bolt with club hammer I would place a piece of wood in front of bolt to prevent burr damage on thread assembly.
My man with flip flop getting job done, awesome!
Also make sure you support that inner race of the new bearing when pressing the spindle back in or you will damage the bearing
That's why many peoples destroyed new bearings & tools, just because didn't know how to use tools properly !
sock and sandal mechanic, my uncle would be proud
hey my friend. stumbled on your video while trying to find someone with a press to deal with my hubs on a different vehicle. Didn't know that tool was a thing. Thanks a TON!!
2011 Honda CRV and 2017 Civic are the same way as the 2009 you did. I have a bearing/seal removal and installation kit of my own. It took too much time and energy especially the really tight ones. I bought a harbor freight $139 shop press last month. So much easier. I've found lots of uses for it. Great video, very helpful!
I was trying to find the right removal tool and press the other day at HF and I couldn't make a choice because they have a few bearing removal tools and presses and the employees that work at my store couldn't offer any help. Really don't want to pay a machine shop to press them.
@@graystripe393 I agree. Your press is one tool. Your press tools are another. I had already bought a ball joint press kit that adapted well to Honda bearing. (C-clamp style replacement ball joint kit). Worked very well with the cheaper HF bench press.
Awesome vid man! Helped a ton! Don't forget to folks doing the job to put the bearing in the right way so the abs sensor reads properly. Had to pull mine apart as it triggered the abs light on car. Not something you want to have to pull apart again! So recommend installing that bearing in the right direction!
00Papyrus I’m glad you found this video helpful! good comment. I did forget to mention this. Sorry you were unlucky haha.

Good to know, I thought it can go any way, sometimes u just get sucker ...
@@Hilary-ys1gk did u split hub from bearing and reuse?
Pretty good video. A little disappointed that you ran out of steam and didn't show installing the race and left out the importance of the torque values.
Keep up the good work and try not to run out of steam.
@13:14 Most videos I've seen use this press set wrong.
The plate with the groove in it goes the other way round. So that it only pushes on the outer race when pressing the bearing in. It's possible to damage your new bearing doing it as shown in this video.
Pushing on the inner race should only be done when installing the hub.
Very Good Job Young Man. Keep Up The Good Work and remember to include as needed only small details. Wheel sensor direction.Thanks!!
Nathan Johnson yeah i'm still beating myself up that I missed this important detail :(
Very nicely done! No goofy music just a straight forward how to.
great video dude. answered the questions the other vids didnt, quick and to the point
You could’ve just removed the lower ball joint and moved everything out of the way to free the CV. No need to disconnect the strut assembly or any other components besides the obvious ones. Great video though.
powerjd car needs to be fully lifted off the ground with enough room for you to stand under it to use a pry bar with enough leverage. that's not something you could do on just Jack stands
I just did a 2013 civic just disconnect the 2 bolts on the strut assembly and pull the hub assembly down and the CV axle will come out and clear the assembly. Then reattach the strut assembly and pull the hub and then bearing on the car. It can be done on jack stands no two post lift needed.
Steven Zembriski bro can you text me 3863012002 im trying to do this on a 9th gen
@@sopretty43vr what do you need to know as I explained it above in my comment 3 weeks ago.
Great video quick tip unless your going to do any break work you can take the caliper and braket off in one piece.
I love how your beating the nut of a rented tool with a lump hammer.
If your brakes were recently replaced, no need to remove the caliper slides independent of the caliper.
J Schermerhorn very true. However, i always do the extra step just to check the condition of the brakes. You never know when a small problem could be caused between you changing them and the present moment. Checking for uneven wear, overheating, or other issues is always important!
If you use a JIS P3 rather than a US Phillips it will come out much easier. It is not actually a Phillips head fastener in there.
True. JIS...Japanese Industrial Standard.
I've never seen a hub bearing come apart like that.
10:57 “trusty harbor freight” my stomach dropped lol
Years later and I’m still using the same grinder. Works like new. However, I took the guard off it a couple months ago for a weird one-off job, and when putting it back together I stripped the screw that holds the guard in place… 14/10 tool. After all that said, I do slightly agree with your comment 😂
I learned a trick from another vid when I did my wheel bearing. You can just take off the caliper bolts. Thdn with finesse you can take it iff with the rotor attatch to it. I do it all the time now i need to take it off.
Brown colored side needs to face sensor it's magnetic and black faces away from engine otherwise you'll get codes
Abe Garcia uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
If you freeze the bearing overnight and heat the knuckle it is slip right in
Save a step. Take the caliper bracket and caliper off as a whole. No need to remove the caliper unless your changing brake pads as well. Still a good video. Back to basics with hand tools.
Dude you rock, thanks for the no nonsense explenation.
nice tutorial man, I hope to see you succeed as an automotive youtuber!
I appreciate it, have a happy thanksgiving and holiday season!
Great video. However, the screws on the rotor are difficult to take out because they’re easily mistakened for a Phillips head but the screws Honda uses on their rotors are Japanese industry standard. I learned that the hard way after stripping the screw head.
So what are they if they are not phillips head?
@@Brandovibe idk but I used a Phillips screw driver lol
@@kyawpawkaren and did you get them out without stripping them?
Great job young man
Just undo the caliper bracket bolts next time and pull the caliper and bracket as one assembly. No need to separate to take them apart to do the bearing. Also hit the knuckle to shock the tie rod end dont hit the actual stud and nut cause if you gotta beat you'll pull the threads. Anyways good video man
Thanks was having trouble gettn the clip out. Liked ur tips n tricks. Bout to finish my wheel bearing now
Very good video. You do a great job of explaining as you go. First one of yours I've watched but one of the best I have seen on this repair. Great job!!
Thanks brother, awesome job. Am can definitely change mine after watching your video 👊
nice safety shoes dude!
Just a FYI. You need to back up the inner race when you press on the hub and not hammer on the hub to avoid separating the inner race from the bearings.
U motivated me big time.... Doing mines tomorrow. Thank you and God bless you and yours.
Good job ! hope you have more for 5th Gen CR-V
Wow! Really enjoyed video. Thanks. Pretty straight forward. U cut right to the chase.
Antonio Aguilar thanks! Have a good day
Thanks for the video, well done 👏. Now I'm gonna have to tackle this myself.
Goodluck!! You got this
Good job Chris , i have an 02 Acura Rsx and i will be tackling this coming wee. Thank you for the tips and sharing your video, keep up the good work. 👍
Hey, good video. Since you took off all those bolts, do you have to take it for an alignment?
Great video, when everything goes good it looks pretty easy with the right tools, but, when things go wrong,,,,
At 2:30 - Those are JIS not Phillips screws.
Japanese Industrial Standard- JIS.
If you use a phillips on it you will damage the heads of retaining screw.
Lawd have mercy -I won’t complain when the mechanic hands me the bill
“You see that boys” man great video thanks for the info
Love this, not everyone has power tools! Great Vid
great tutorial and nice work without all the fancy tools.
Great video ! One question it's not necessary too replace the hub even if you have driven the car with the bearing messed up? Can I just buy the bearing and press them into the hub like you did? Thank you
chepepewis elevan just get the bearing
@@developmentdivision122 thanks
Very informative, and very hilarious. Great video!😂
Big fan of your chocolate rain song.
hard market that singing gig. had to get a trade .
Nice shots
Very impressive using primative tools and getting the job done!
You said the axel nut is 32mm but online parts say 22mm. edit: I think it might be that parts sites and manuals say 22mm for the ring diameter but don't list the 32mm hex diameter?
32 worked for me. 22mm would be too small.
Aces Chris! Nice clear audio and stable video. Thanks so much.
2:31 can confirm these are a pain., and they do absolutely nothing; they're just an assembly aid for plant workers, really. Mine were rusted on so bad that nothing would remove them - tried WD40, a hand impact tool, you name it... Ended up destroying them with Dremel cutting wheels when replacing my rotors and never put new ones back on. lol
My husband and I are trying to replace the front bearing on our 2008 accord. This is the second time that, during assembly, the bearing breaks when we put it in the hub. We are using OEM master wheel hub and bearing removal and installation kit to do it.
What are we doing wrong?
Alyssa Glass this can sometimes happen. I like to stick the bearing into the freezer before installing (this shrinks the metal a little) and makes the clearances a little bigger. Also use lots of anti-seize/greese so the bearing slides in smoothly. When pressing it in, do it in a smooth motion. It is kinda difficult.

Best of luck to you though, you can do it!! if not, try to get a new hub with a wheel bearing already installed.
Chris Meacham We has to buy a hydraulic press.
We put the piece in the freezer for a couple of days and used propane torch to heat the metal to loosen the hub.
Think the problem was that the bearing would spin as we were placing it in, causing it to break.
Chris Meacham yes I do this every time and don’t forget to hit the old Bering with big self hammer after taking the hub assembly off , then to put back in same way then for the hub too. Don’t be pussies.
Long nut should go on the back side. That's why you ran out of room for your wrench. Great video, though. Thanks!
Impressive install vid with good tips. He’s obviously picked up good knowledge from paying attention to a good teacher. Use gloves next time. Nice work young fella.
Best videos always have sandals
"Be really strong, press down"
*Grows a third hand*
I can’t pull off this trick all the time unfortunately, I wish I could use it when I’m soldering lol
Mechanic told me they can't change just the bearings said have to replace hub and bearing... Is this bs to get more money?
In my experience, sometimes it’s hard to remove and replace the bearing without damaging the hub. Just replace both.
Good video, thanks man
Hey guys don't forget to check out my video on how to replace those annoying wheel bearing cups that get stuck the hub assembly on Honda press in bearing systems. Stay wrenching!
Good job! Good video!
Well done.👍
Nut is 3/4 inch and the bolt 17mm? On a Honda?
They all should be metric no?
I had a autozone parking lot mechanic (street mechanic) he did the brakes fine but put the bearing on wrong and abs sensor light is on. Next week get this all replaced and I went to a junkyard as mechanic sent me got the whole spindle with bearing from there. Do you think a brand new one is better or getting the whole piece. Thanks
What does it mean when it makes a fine whining when you turn?
Nice job, by the end of the video it looked like your were ready for a "cold one"! :)
MakeYourOwnAdventure haha it seems that way. days out in the driveway wrenching are always better with refreshments!
Not a good idea drinking while wrenching!!! Let me explain the dangers..... step 1. You have to constantly walk over to the cooler or fridge causing you to trip over your tools! Step 2..........
2:32 Those are not Phillips head screws. As the car is made in Japan they have their own JIS Japanese industrial standard for tools. When you use a Philips on a JIS set Screw you are basically camming out the head. The better move Would be to get a flat head and chisel it free.
Awesome! Well done and good video. As for the socks and flip flops... Man who dresses you? LOL!
Hey man.. great video, but your ball joint nut being hand tight isn’t fine haha
i have been a ASE certified mechanic for 35 years and good to see that you are not worried about ruining the loaner tools by using them incorrectly. You must not like having toes because wearing sandles while working on cars
Good Job 👍
You wouldn't believe how much better your life will be if you get a vise and an impact wrench.
Jack lol trust me, i know. Working on it at the moment, not much space to put an air tank and a work bench in my garage. Coming soon hopefully.
@@developmentdivision122 Nice work and very good vid. Bright, clear sharp visuals, clear explanation, easy to watch and very informative. I'm tagging it for when I need to swap the wheel bearing on my Civic.
@@developmentdivision122 Get a milwaukee cordless M18 Fuel 3/8 compact impact, I have one and it takes out the lower strut mount bolts (and almost any large rusty bolt) with authority. Milwaukee all the way dude. Great video
@@developmentdivision122 You should just grab a trustworthy like milwaukee impact like I will be sometime soon. Battery powered/ cordless and just as strong as you need it to be
Does all 8 gen have the same wheel bearing size? I need front wheel bearing.
Super well explained video awesome!!!, thanks for all your help
Good video, straight to the point
Thank you looking forward to do my 2006 honda civic
After watching several videos it seems that there is no way around having to cut the outer bearing out of the hub. This really sucks because I was hoping I could do this without using cutting tools.
Thanks!!
You did a really good job
Slick Diaz thanks!
Magnetic side goes in first towards the engine.
For the abs sensor. Mention that on your next video.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR SLIPPERS. :-)
What is the bracket / arm called that houses the bearing? (the bracket is in your right hand at the 10:44 timestamp of your video). Thanks!
Brian Stafford that is called the hub. The part that has the studs for the wheels is called the spindle.
Chris Meacham the part that presses into the bearing and has the lug studs is the hub. The steering spindle or knuckle is larger cast iron part that the lower/upper balljoints and tie rod end bolts to.
Thank you! Do you know if that's the same process for the Honda Element? I have a 2005 EX all wheel drive.
Bovane Bovane not sure, you might have to do some googling.
most likely similar, just look up the replacement parts online and see what they look like.
Aye bro thank you just subscribed.. you make good videos
Great tutorial
