Oh poor Ian, get well soon, well done Carley on completing the 5 minute job in the normal 4 hours, I am trying to get an injector out of a Renault 1.5DCi engine (another 5 minute job), and I have been at it for 2 days!
The people that tell you it's a half hour job, have never actually done the work themselves LOL 😜
Or they've done it on a brand new car with no rust or wear in a well equipped workshop.
Well i did one on a sirion a few weeks ago. And indeed its half an hour in a good lit workshop with the right tools. And the car had 50k miles 😂
@@Vespastendert i did one on my 97 Seat and it took a little under an hour too in the street, but this is in south spain. car is still like new underneeth
My Audi took me about an hour. And that includes cleaning up and tools away.
Or have done it Alot and know exactly how to do it.
Wheels and suspension noises can always lead you on a merry dance!
That's for sure.. I recently spent a bunch of time and money trying to fix a brake pulsation that I was convinced was coming from the back of the car, and turned out to be the front instead.
I remember having to do the rear drum brakes on a vauxhall astra a few years ago,outside, in December with the onset of flu. It is still the most miserable experience of my life!
Literal Hub Nut content.
Bearings always seem to be a pain. Most stuff these days has you replace the whole front spindle or at least remove the spindle and take it somewhere to have a new bearing pressed in.
I remember a long time ago chasing a wheel bearing noise on the 2000 Escort estate, laying in the boot listening while the owner drove it.. Convinced each time we knew which it was.. we got the right one 4th time lucky 😂
We'll done Carly not afraid to get your hands in & get Chemmy mended.
I always take a picture of the brake springs with my cellphone as a reference for reassembly.
You always learn from work, next time the left rear wheel bearing will be a piece of cake.
Get well soon Ian, you sound like you have a bad cold.
Ms Hubnut puts you to shame Ian!
That's the power of passion and love for her car, at a guess.😁
“Merchandise etc”Hilarious 🤣
Hi Ian and Carley, ref the Adjuster slipping... If it's the cam arm type.. you can use a small triangular file to file the teeth back onto the Cam arm... Hope this helps .. Stay safe Oot There ..
Heres hoping for you both, you have indeed changed the culprit bearing. Thank you for the video, Ian and Carly. Get well soon Ian, take care. All the very very best to all the family!
Shame bad cold.
Miss Hubnut just loves that blue car. And amazing that the cat walking by gets her attention and some love❤.
Cats are amazingly curious and always want to see what is going on.
Get well Ian! Get Well Chemmy!
Well.done! Miss Hubnut
I thought of you today, Ian - my local bus company was having one of its museum open/running days. This was brought to my attention by a lovely 1966 Leyland Atlantean outside the local church with a few photographers in attendance. Sadly a cloudy day here. Later came a 1994 Volvo Olympian, but no cameras for that...
The trick that I've heard for figuring out which bearing it is (and which has worked for me at least once) is to put your hand on the coil spring, then spin the wheel. The spring kind of magnifies the rumble and you'll feel it through the spring. This is probably the same concept as the "ear against the car" technique :)
I came here to say this, it was a tip given to me by a professional mechanic. It genuinely works - I had a bad front wheel bearing on my Peugeot Expert, but with the wheels off the ground and spinning them by hand, they didn't make any noise and felt perfectly smooth. As soon as I put my hand on one of the coil springs, I immediately felt the 'gritty' vibration running through it.
I get that feeling every time Mr hubnut picks up the tools😂 tell him mrs H 😂you can do this you just simply take a photo if the brake springs so you know where they go👍
I never learn...
@@HubNut 😂😂 simplicity is the key sir 👍
There are a lot of nasty bugs around at the minute Mr HubNut. I had a bad cold virus/coughing for a month. Nice work, Miss HubNut.
Nothing ever goes to plan Ian , Carly with old cars you no that by now 😁👍 hope your OK ,Ian you don't sound to well 🙏
You had more luck than i had this week. My engine blew up in my reliant rialto . Grrr. The joys of motoring.
Noo!
Feel better very soon Ian.
a compact bearing like that supposed to be tight to turn in a hand. When you compare bearing turning force between hand and wheel you do not take account of wheel centrifugal force. :) Easy way to diagnose bad wheel bearing is to spin the wheel fast as you can and grab from the suspension spring right after. Spring amplifies the bearing rumble.
Lovely orange kitty! 🐈 A new addition to the fleet?
We're not sure where he came from...
Hubcat? 🐈😮🤪
It's a Daicatsu Meowra
Shop meowchanic.
A 5 minute job is the last thing you should ever say! 😂 Cracking video though as allways Ian hope you feel better soon!
Just to note a bearing that spins freely is a worn bearing and one that has drag is an OK bearing if it has no play, unless its a taper bearing where minor play is acceptable and sometimes required. A good way to check a noisy bearing is a screw driver on the nuckle and your ear against it then spin the wheel up with your free hand.
I’d Do both sides, unless budget doesn’t allow.
£154 a side, so we'll see how the nearside one goes.
HubNut
That is a very expensive price to pay fo none OE.
Infact I would expect OE for that price
£154 ! Wow , that’s a bit steep ….
@@ThirdDegreeWitchExplores If I recall the lack of Daihatsu spares in general seems to be a big problem. Recall their Mitsu 4X4 had some problems getting the correct calipers
@@HubNut£154, cheap at half the price ...
Or maybe less, priceless content though! I think your pechoo needs a holiday!
Well done you two, thank you Ian the brute for supplying the force....
Hope you get well soon ian
Great video 👍🏻
Did both rear wheel bearings on a Honda accord a few months ago ,and had a pleasant surprise.
They really did only take an hour each!
Though....only after trying to fit them and finding that there were 4 different shapes of fittings depending on the month of 2010 when the vehicle was built!
Guess what....ours had the shape that only the Honda dealer parts dept stocked☹️
Oh well, was definitely a bad bearing. It's amazing how hard it is to pin down which corner a bearing noise is coming from. I've known friends change their rear bearings only to find out it was the front or vice versa 🤦♂️
The back brake is easy. the laughing shaft goes over the giggling pin and then you just push it on the chats mortise easy peezy. Oh don't forget to grease the oujar capive.
Remember to torx them hub bearing bolts folks 😭🤣, sorry Ian LOL👍👍
Absolutely brilliant video Ian miss hubnut ❤👍you to are absolutely fantastic to watch well done on doing the hub brilliant
Get well soon Ian. You sound rough. I hope its just a Flu or allergies and nothing to serious. Greetings from germany.
Another great video from the HubNutters. Carly did a great job of leading the exercise well supported by Ian. This is one of those things that you fix while trying to fix something else but another fix for something else may be needed. Many thanks for sharing.
Ah, the literal HubNut words of doom "This is going to be a quick job" - queue hours of fettling and work... :P
3:24 #NotMyCat
Miss HubNut was very correct though, that was a gorgeous kitty and seemed quite friendly 😻
Great little tinkering Video Carly under the supervision of Ian, get well soon Ian .
My son-in-law's car was making awful bearing-type noises. Turned out that cheap and worn out tyres were to blame.
Hope you feel better soon, wishing you a speedy recovery
I've bene struck with a dribbly cold flue combo but a covid test this afternoon has come up positive. Worth checking if you have any test kits left.
To feel for a rough wheel bearing. Hook a finger tightly around a coil of the spring and spin the wheel. The spring acts as an amplifier of any roughness/vibration to your finger. Car wheel bearing noises can easily fool you.
Before watching. I just came in from installing a steering damper on my Triumph and fixing the brakes on my Ural (Brembo believe it or not), so I do have sympathy...now I shall watch.
Oh snap. You have a date with the bed Ian. Confined to your room for a bit. Man flu can be a terrible experience. Get well soon!!!
Bless ya, at least that wheel bearing needed replacing regardless, hope you feel better soon
6:00 Daihatsu activates artificial gravity mode.
I hesitate commenting on Hub Nut videos as I always come across as criticising. OK. This is intended to be helpful. Replace both bearings on the same axle during the same repair session. Replace the wheel bearing from start to finish on each end before dismantling the other bearing so you have the other side a reference for reassembly. Finally undo and torque up wheel nuts as opposite pairs. I thought Carley was going around the circle and that can lead to warping or tension being left in the wheel.
well done carly, hope you feel better ian
Interesting to see you can remove the drum from the hub. On the Spark it is all one piece so you have to remove the bearing with the drum when you fit new shoes or whatever. One of mine had a bearing break up, seized solid, fortunately when I was only a mile from home. If I reversed a short way I could then drive forward a few yards before it locked again. That way I managed to nurse it home.
Had to do that with a Discovery some years ago! Was amazed that I got home.
I was chasing around trying to find where I had a bad wheel bearing on my Celica. It turned out the noise was caused by old tyres which just needed replacement.
That can happen but not here I don't think.
1:05 Hang on a god dang minute... Did you buy orange gloves to go with the orange top? You cannot be that fashion-conscious! 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
I much prefer drum brakes. They last forever. Sometimes the life of the car. Disk brakes need work almost every year especially on the rear where they just turn to rust.
I agree. My 24 year old daily driver have now done close to 200k miles with absolute minimal maintenance of the rear drum brakes, and they are still measured to brake perfect at the MOTs. All the rear discs I've had on cars have been an never ending maintenance object.The pads starts to stick and then the discs rust. I do now strongly prefer drums over discs in the rear, after 40 years of car owning and wrenching. Changing brake shoes are an non problem if you know what you are doing. Not surprized that Ian think's it's an horrible job, after seeing him seriously trying to remove hub caps with an big hammer.
Ms HubNut tinkers, with her faithful assistant Ian.
Love drum brakes, there's a certain pleasure I take in getting them perfectly adjusted, especially internal parking brakes which are the vicious type of drum brake, getting them perfect appeals to me for some reason
No such thing as a 5 minute job when working on cars, well done Hubnuts
I did some anti roll bar links on my car a few years ago, passenger side took 10 mins, I thought to myself i'll just quickly do the other side before it gets dark...............................2 and a half hours later and it was done, as was I for the night.
@@NeilD163An angle grinder would’ve made the job easy
Thanks for sharing 😊👍
Not many jobs are actually five minute jobs are they? Good job getting stuck in though, even if it might not have been the right bearing...
I was very excited this week to spot a super-clean Fiat Panda proudly wearing a Hub Nut sticker 😅❤
I also hate doing drum brakes just because they are so fiddly and you really need more than two hands to do it so that the springs don’t ping off in all directions.
well done mrs hubnut,the mechanic of the fleet
If I have a faulty part on one side usually do both sides as they are generally the age mileage, use one as mirror image of other , your both showing what can be achieved with time
Hope you feel better soon Mr HubNut
Just as an observation of mine: bad hub bearings give off a sub-audible rumble, if you're hearing a clicking or whine it might be something else. It could be tire noise, or the trunk or back boot/hatch/storage area; usually the big piece of poorly sound insulated, thin flat steel making up the floor, resonating to some other parts of the car. You usually feel a bad bearing through the seats or your body, than with your ears. They will have a lower frequency at slower speeds and become somewhat higher pitched and louder on the highway. They are barely or maybe even in-audible on a unloaded axle with the tire off as the bearing seals will pull the bearings away from their damaged parts.
Good video 😀
Classic Hubnut. Always a treat
Last month worked on our car's rear drum brakes, a job meant to take most of a day for both , (replace the cylinders and shoes..) ended up being a week plus adventure when the set of ordered rear cylinders both turned out to be left sides which took another week to get the company to refund and ship a right side. I kept telling my Wife, "Yeah, Ian is really familiar with problems like this, and it's going especially HubNut..." As our only car, it made running errands a bind.
Well the next one should be easier with the experience gained. 😊
Front end sadly much more difficult. Will need a press.
@HubNut Maybe Hub Nut Jr. could sort it at Whiteland Restorations?
Hope that you get well soon Ian.
The other possibility is that you have saw tooth rear tyre wear which is brought about if the rear dampers are weak on a front wheel drive car. This creates a noise very similar to a wheel bearing groaning. I only found out about this phenomenon when it happened on my car and my friendly MOT tester advised me about it.
Good team work, with the cat help!
Front wheel bearings change noise depending on which direction bend you go round. Outer bearing takes the strain on a corner. CV joints are the opposite, inner side makes most noise on a corner.
Well done, Miss HubNut. Nice work 👍 now, just three more to do.
Wheel bearings are usually the opposite corner to where your hearing would make you think the problem is, in this case OSF instead of NSR.
Check the tyres as sometimes they can give the off a noise like a failed wheel bearing.
After all: good job! 🚙💨🇯🇵
AY UP MR AND MRS HUBNUT
Bearing noises can transfer over the frame. Myself replaced 2 improperly diagnosed bearings :)
When I do a wheel bearing I always do both on the same axle. A friend just finished doing the front bearings on both sides on my 2004 Toyota Corolla. That became an 8 hour job. I suspect the rear bearings are going to be soon.
Well done you two, 1 done 3 to go !?😂😂😂 Totaly HubNut 🎉Get well Ian , your voice sounds like You’ve smoked a whole box of cigars! Horrible and painfull! 🤒🫶👍🏻👍🏻🆙
I feel your pain - noisey wheel bearings are not always stiff to turn, take the N/S rear wheel off and drum then turn the hub to see if its a bit gritty - the weight of the wheel and drum can mask bad bearings
Don't be down Ian, you and Carly did a good job one down two to check.😁👍
Nice to see the Welsh Government Yeti rehabilitation scheme in action...
Could be worse. Could've been a Gen 1 bearing that needs pressing in after wrestling with a rusted in retaining circlip.
Best thing the industry ever did was bringing in gen 3 hub bearing units.
Get well soon, Ian
Ha. First shot of Mr HubNut is....., pulling on the rubber gloves. Reminds me of a scene from 'All Creatures Great and Small' prior to the exploration of a cow's bottom.
And as usual, I took them off and forgot to put them back on...
To be truly Hubnut, substitute the cow's bottom with a pig's ear.
Of course it's a 5 minute job, assuming the car was clean and factory-fresh with all the parts not seized in place from years of galvanic corrosion like they show in the average Paynes manual... :P
Or an Autodoc video...
Always do both at the same time as it is more logical to have both free wheeling with no noise when raised off the floor
At £154 each, we decided to take our chances. I think we got the wrong end entirely...
Well done to carley for getting stuck in, it's the only way to learn 👏👏👏
See? That wasn't so bad....was it? Hello Happy Wheel Bearing👋👀🤪🚗!!
I always take a photo of drum brakes before removing anything.
I need to learn this lesson...
I once did that on a freelander, replaced the shoes put back together and the handbrake still didn't work. Turned out it was not put together right when I started. You can always take the drum off the other side to look how it goes together.
If one bearing is knackered than its oppo is probably on its way out. What's with the gloves, a bit of grease and dirt is nothing that some Swarfega can't handle and one still has the sensitivity of one's fingertips.
HubNut vs Hub Nut 😃 Get well soon Ian.
Carly always has a positive attitude.
Hubnut l totally agree with you on drum brakes they are a real pain
The trials and tribulations of working on your own vehicles. Doesn't get much easier 😂😂
Sounds like one of them pain in the ass jobs
another great video has always Ian and Carly miss/mrs hubnut and hublets and hubmutt 👍
Always change wheel bearings in pairs Greetings from Scotland 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Not a failure at all just a neccessary process of elimination. (the smile on Ms HubNut's face says good stuff was done to her prized carriage). Hope the cold clears up quickly.
Corner hard. If the noise increases when turning left, it's the right bearing, and vice versa.
Sharp right makes it louder. I think.
You could try the old side to side swerve manoeuvre to determine if it's one of the fronts.
We're pretty sure it is...
At least it didn’t all go a bit Furious Driving where you cut your finger and swear and then spill oil all over the floor….
"That was a sad ptchoo"
A half hour job *always* takes 4 hours and that is getting away lightly.
It would be half an hour if you've done it many times before, have a lift, all the power tools and a torch for stubborn bolts.
But if you haven't done that before it *will* take longer. And do take the time. Don't half-ass it. Clean up and repair as you go along.
I consider this a success, because you managed to replace the part, the car still drives and it's better than before.
Tinkering with cars is rarely about the big success that makes everything better, it's slow progress to a state where it's broken in a way that you can live with.
And we wouldn't have it any other way, otherwise we'd do the same thing anyway else does and lease some German "premium" barge and bring it to the shop to have the wiper fluid topped up.
Gimme greasy hands and scuffed knuckles any day.
I think working on cars is always better in retrospect and not while you're swearing in the dirt on your hands and knees. 😁🖖👍
I did mine years ago and was told you have to do both
Not true. You replace the broken one. If you can find it....
