    You forgot to mention that before you put on the new wheel bearing you should Use a grinder or sandpaper and clean the hole where the bearing slides into and maybe put a little bit of grease on it to make sure that the bearing goes in there straight

    note to who ever does this, when you’re hammering the hub, if you hit the dust shield you will bend it and it will rub against your rotor so don’t think it’s your new bearing making that scrapping noise when you drive, just take the wheel off and grab pliers and bend the shield away from the rotor carefully.

    Good video series especially for those who don't know how to do them. It's good to see someone showing younger people with simple steps that they themselves can do it as well. I do all my stuff and also do repair so I was just seeing if they're was much difference and you guys are pretty much spot on!

    Thanks for the video. I used it when replacing the hub on my '09. One useful tip, the ABS sensor cable needs to be on the side closest to the mounting hole on the splashguard, not on the bottom. Yes, I was stupid enough to torque everything down prior to attaching and checking the slack. Hope I don't ruin anything when I take it back apart.
    Another issue I had was getting the axle out of the bearing. Tried my bearing puller but really did not budge. Had to use an air hammer to get it out.
    Last item, the fastener holding the disc on was a T30 bolt. Important to know since many Torx bit sets only go up to T28.

  • @charlestownsend4380

    Nice video but the pulley puller is not needed I've replaced dozens of hubs on these cars and all you have to do is hit the brakes really hard in reverse right for you do the jobs and it puts opposite pressure on splines of the axle and that usually makes it come free

    • @RudyvanBree
      @RudyvanBree 5 років тому

      So before you take the caliper off you loosen the spline nut and put the car in reverse then hit the brakes? That will un-seize the spine from the hub? I will try it. I tried a puller with the bolts still in the hub to loosen the spline but no luck. I am getting a hydraulic puller to see if that will loosen it but this may be a neat trick.

    Very nice video, I absolutely just did mine with just this video as instruction:
    I want to add that I definitely used a gear puller, a 4 lb hammer (heck with that rubber mallet thou I had that too), 2-3 different chisels / punch sticks, PB Blaster, Carburetor / Brake Cleaner, compressed air, Anti-seize compound and some steel tubes to extend the ratchet for better torque (some of the nuts / bolts require over 100 foot-pounds)...
    The axle nut came off with a 1/2" pneumatic gun, compressed air tool that is. I'm not convinced that it's a true 34mm, that is the socket I used since that's what the instructions said but I felt it was loose on the nut.
    No busted knuckles, I may have said a bad word but it wasn't out of control and I'm not even sure I went there thou I did have to run out mid-job to purchase 3 new bolts since mid-video they instructed NOT to reuse the old ones... Kind of miffed they wouldn't include these in the kit to begin with, even if it costs extra... The old assembly came apart inside the wheel, all the electronics were stuck in there, had to punch and pull these out piece by piece.
    Oh and a floor jack to lift the car up in the air, to tighten the axle nut back on I started the car then wedged a steel extension between the brake pedal and the seat so as to hold down the brake while I tightened the nut... They said 150 ft.lbs. but I got it as tight as it would go and that is that.
    Here's the video I found extremely helpful:

      We actually live in a climate here that has a lot of salt and moisture in the air. We are located on a island and salt water gets blown into the air regularly. Due to this we see rust build up on rotors like this in days. If my personal daily sits over a weekend and there's a lot of rain and wind I can feel the rust on the rotors. Its just something we live with.

  • @BeautifulWolf1987
    @BeautifulWolf1987 4 роки тому

    Genuine question and could really use some advice:
    I have a 2011 Chevy Impala that needs the front left hub assembly replaced. But when I took it to my mechanic, he tried all day to get it off and couldn't. He said the splines were fused due to heat build up from the bad ball bearings inside the assembly, and it would need a new axle, steering knuckle, AND hub assembly to repair it. Is there any kind of way that the assembly can be broken loose, or am I really going to have to have a super expensive ($600-$800 due to front end alignment) repair? I would really appreciate some helpful advice because I don't want to get rid of this car. Thanks!
