Thanks for uploading this video. I followed it a week ago and replaced my front bearings.

Very useful, thanks! Tomorrow I'm doing this on my Alfa Gt, I just hope the bearing doesn't split open on disassembly like yours.

[@ThanassisGritsopoulos]

Thank you for your kind words! We would be interested to hear how the bearing installation went on your GT.

[@chrisbarton6760]

Good luck! Mine split apart while assembling. Hopefully you’ll be better prepared and have more luck

[@Nlmelesi]

@@chrisbarton6760 Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep that in mind when assembling and I'll try to be careful.

@@ThanassisGritsopoulos I finally did it yesterday on the two front wheels, both bearings split open upon removal. One I was able to remove using a bearing separator to hold it, the other one I had to cut it. I also changed all the suspension arms on both sides. Your videos where really usefull and saved me a lot of time. Thanks again!!

No one else has tried it? Il give it a go

[@katywalker8322]

You could possibly make it easier to put the hub in if you put it in the freezer. This should make it slightly relatively smaller.

[@ThanassisGritsopoulos]

You are correct Katy. This is a smart approach that you mentioned.

@@ThanassisGritsopoulos , done it on engine bearings on bikes.

Very good video

[@VLOGISGARAGE]

Is it normal to have play in the bearing?

[@ThanassisGritsopoulos]

If there is play in the bearing, then it is past its life.

@@ThanassisGritsopoulos thank you

[@ethanomical]

Thanks for the vid, what size rod did you use to push in the hub? Is it an M10?

[@ThanassisGritsopoulos]

The rod is M12 X 1.75
