The sad thing is, with some of todays mechanics, a repair shop may have actually done that wheel bearing before you got to it. Great video, I never realized that the combination of a freezing cold bearing & a hot hub makes that much difference on fitment! Thanks for the video!
That method of torque has served me well with propellors. Anti-sieze was a good idea. For dry splines aircraft and BMW motorcycles specify a molybdenum grease, sometimes mixed with a little motor oil. You did a great repair! I love how the bearing slid right in.
I did a similar torque setting using a breaker bar and a digital pull scale. My normal torque wrenches would not access the bolts. Seemed to work fine.
I used to love driving my dad’s 124 that he bought new. The car was just so well balanced and fun to drive. Once that steering is corrected it will change the car big time. It sounds a little louder than I remember on the interior. You’re doing great! 👍🏻
I dare not say it's an issue as I am very fortunate to have these things. I am working to actually thin the herd as there are too many projects to focus on and so little time because of it. I do try to drive this car as much as possible as it's a very capable daily.
Great job BJ bearing flew in lol car is defo getting there loved the targa what a beautiful car I think they all sound great also what do you think 👍👌❤️🏁🏁
Is there a PN or link for that bearing assembly you have? 944 online has the individual bearings and seal to put into the race housing but not that full on pre-assembled unit you had. At least that I can find for 84 944 under the rear axle category. Thanks in advance!
Well I'm no expert on these cars yet but being an 84 you likely have thr old design with separate bearings. I think after 85 is when they went to a sealed single
Great content, really enjoyed it. For in car vid, where the camera is behind or beside you, you need a mic. Difficult to hear you clearly with wind and engine noise, but great all the same !
I actually had a separate mic recording near me but was unable to get the audio to perfectly sync this morning unfortunately. I spent a ton of time trying but had to give up and just get the video out. The struggles of content creation..
Nice job on the wheel bearing, if you ever do it again, a little more detail on pulling a CV axle and putting it back in would be appreciated. I have never done one and once paid 900$ to have the CV axle seals replaced on a Honda Accord. That was many years ago. I watch all your motorcycle videos and now your auto videos. Your videos are very good and enjoyed, keep them coming. Thank you for all the hard work.
Thank you! These are very easy to remove the cv. Just unbolt the 6 bolts per side and remove it. Replacing the boots would be more challenging but removing the cv shaft assembly is simple
Love the story about blasting backroads with your dad. Hope my kids remember all the hours we've racked up in the 944 the same way.
I appreciate that 🙏

I just hate to assume a shop may have done this but anything is possible. Thermal expansion/contraction makes a difference for sure!
Like a pro, great job, well done
Much appreciated 🙏

Speaking of that moly it is also specified on all the shaft drive Hondas I work on. None of that off the shelf stuff!
Caught that bearing before it let go! Car’s another step closer…
Yeah I can't believe the dang wheel didnt fall off lol 😅

If it works it works!
Well done! I noticed on the video when you started your test drive gaps between the doors and the roof ie. daylight visible?🤨
Oh that was the sunroof being in the vent position. Definitely looked weird from that angle but totally normal

man this car is a beaut!
It's getting there! Needs some love in the paint department
another head turner..what to drive today must be an issue..bikes included..ever feel that way??

Wow, amazing video! Thanks for all the tips. That trick with torque spec was really nice
Glad you enjoyed

I think it was my speedy sprinting from the freezer that did the trick! Definitely made for an easy install!
@@tangentsbhb oh yeah forgot about that hahaha 😉👍
