Just finished watching the whole video and this mechanic really knows her stuff and is REALLY effective at communicating well. She needs to have her own channel. Thank you.
I just wanna give the woman credit where credit is due. I thought this video was frickin amazing. Not only because she was a woman doing what she did with the skill level she did it, and I don't mean that to sound sexist if it does. I mean that very respectful. But because I don't know anybody who could have explained the job any better. Never works on one of these till now. Done several others. Had trouble getting the lower ball joints unseated. Thought I was doing something wrong. Watched this video to double check myself. Doing it right. Just wasn't hitting it hard enough. Lol. Didn't have to look for the torque spects or anything afterwards. Great job. I look forward to seeing more videos from her in the future. I am now a subscriber. Thanks for the help.

+iFly ll Kobra Thank you for subscribing!
This is all common knowledge
I love this mechanic and all of the 1A Auto videos. They’ve saved me thousands of dollars and hours.
The only thing that makes me nervous is the fact that she routinely pushes the ratchet or whatever she’s turning 𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙮 from her. The very first thing I learned in Machinist’s Mate A School in the Navy was, “𝙉𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 push a wrench!”
I like that A1 vedio..also I like to watch lady mechanic..she is very very safety and carefully to her job..very good job.
These A1 Auto videos are wonderful! I love her explanations (so clear!) and the videos do a great job of showing what's going on even when it's hard for me to see myself. But the best part is really this... When I watch the A1 Auto videos, I can make a good decision as to whether or not I want to attempt the repair myself. This is a great resource! Thank you A1 Auto and your great mechanic.

I love watching your instructional videos, great job as always
Magnificent video, the mechanic was standing she knows her stuff.
.
Again, you have nailed it! Another one of your top quality productions. Thanks so much.
Thanks for the clean and informative video, your the best.
just did this. instructions were clear and the info re: pressing the bearing and hub were priceless. thanks
Thank you!!! Very thorough video! My 06 Mazda 6 lower arms were designed totally different. Mine only has one lower control arm. Everything else was the same though. 10/10 how to video! ❤️
I just did this job on a Mazda 5. While she did a great job on explaining this she appears to have put the bearing in backwards. The darker ring on the bearing needs to face the sensor on the inside. This will cause a speed sensor fault and a ABS light. Her ability to explain the processes is excellent.
Rafael, I think the abs sensor will interact with the reluctor ring for proper abs signal. Yes, some bearings will have a magnetic ring, in which case, it must be installed in a certain direction where the abs sensor will pick it up.
Does this also put anti spin and DSC out of control? My repair shop must have made an error when installing new bearings and now the lights are glowing on my Mazda 6 2008.
Just putting this out there. If you don't have an impact please loose the axle nut before you even jack it.
+Kenz Jean Francois Thanks for sharing!
Do you see the epoxy floor? Tire would probably spin. Just throwing that out there.
@@HoUsEoFcAtS78 when have you ever known a tire to slip with full weight on it? not how it works
@@higherwrldsprodction2955 I know, right?
Thanks for making it look easy. Thanks for the Safety tips with humor but very important. Nice video. God bless.
Wow, great instructional video, very thorough!

Great work!
Mazdas and their notorious RUST!.
Excellent video, best how to videos out there. However I'd caution against using a brass punch on or near an anti friction bearing. Just what I've been taught as an apprentice
+Johnny Dipshit Thanks for the tip!
good job ottimo lavoro.
great work
Huh...I've never loosened the bleeder unless I'm doing line work or replacing a caliper, cylinder etc.. I've done a good 100+ brake jobs and was not aware you could damage the module. First video I've watched where that was done or discussed. Thanks...
Im definitely not messing with bleeder screws where im from to replace a hub or brakes. Cuz then I would be putting new ones in...lol
Nice work.
I could tell by rust ,either near ocean or snow , góod job and tutorial on every step , thank you kindly ,👍✌️💪💎🤔🖖🙏🤙
My deepest respect ma'am
Thanks for the video very nice job I love it 😂
Thanks for the video 🙂
To remove the brake disc you could simply use a long M10 bolt and nut. Use the clearance hole for the brake caliper carrier to jack and force out the disk. Worked a treat on the seized disc of my Mazda3
Thanks for the great video. What were the symptoms of the bad bearing? My Mazda makes a whirring sound when turning the wheel slightly to the right while driving. It’s mostly noticeable at highway speed, but I can hear it at all speeds. When the wheel is straight or turned to the left, there’s no noise. All of the lug nuts are tight. I don’t hear any clicking noise like you would hear with a bad CV joint. Thanks
I love watching these . If she can do it I definitely can . 😁

I believe the lower strut wishbone bolt should be tightened only after the weight of the vehicle is on the suspension. That way it will be in a neutral position with no internal stress when vehicle is sitting at normal ride height.
+Cris Ashton Thanks for watching! Yes, good catch, you want to put final torque specs with the weight of the vehicle on the ground. 1aauto.com
Very good video

Good job Thank you
+mamdouh noshy Thank you for watching. www.1aauto.com
Nice job🤟👽
You also film Awsome vidz
so much for doing this myself. I don't have a press machine.
+TENNSUMITSUMA Thanks for checking us out. 1aauto.com
there are vids that show you how to do this without a press.
Great job
This is one of those jobs where you are too scared to do it on your own lol
I bought a wheel bearing and hub assembly and it came with the wheel bearing already pressed onto to the hub, I need to take the bearing off to get the snap ring on right?
When you get to 19:35, could you press the hub and half inner bearing race back into the knuckle? I have to pull my hub to replace a stud, and I'd like to just press the hub/half inner bearing race back in.
it
Question: is this process the same for a 09?
Is this generally the same way you do the wheel bring on a 98 Mazda 626? If not, do you have a video on that?
Are the retaining screws necessary?
Could hitting the rotors to remove them damage them?
I just had my front wheel bearings & hub replaced at Mazda dealership.
After a few days my brake pedal will vibrate when braking at speeds above 40mph. I thought I needed to replaced front brakes, but they are good. The retaining screws, and bleeder cap were missing.
I went back to the dealership, and told them the missing parts.
They claimed that they had not messed with rotor or brakes to replace wheel bearing or hub 🤔.
So how can I prove in fact that they did lose these parts?
wow never knew you had to open the bleeder to push in the piston. I have done my breaks for 20 years without opening the bleeder when pushing I the piston, have yet to have any issue. Good tip I'll have to do that for now on.
+Andrew Mapes Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Ahhh, so THAT'S how you magically snuck in the new hub in your rotor replacement video
+tazin8r Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
THANK SO MUCH
Can you get these parts without pressing the wheel bearing and hub? pre packaged ready to install? It's confusing as some are doing it your way and some are just installing it.
Very informative video, good job 1A Auto
+anthonybrett7 Thank you!
Thank you share clip
What size socket did you use to remove hub nut
Is this process identical on a 2007 Mazda 3
Thanks!
Does this job apply to a 2010 Mazda 6?
I was watching this video without audio and I tripped out so bad and had no clue where the hub went at 19:26 thought this was some magic trick
Are the hubs re usable
Is it possible to put the new bearing back into the knuckle and the wheel hub into the bearing without a press? I'm not worried about damaging the old one getting it out without a press by beating on it a little bit, but is there a way to put in the new one without a press that won't damage the new part? If so, what's the best way to go about it?
with my case I found it hard to pull the without using press due the rust amount on it . Ii made video of the work in this link
ua-cam.com/video/UNE5w80Ms2w/v-deo.html
You're a badass!
My fork got stuck and bent trying to get the ball joints loose from the bottom. Now I got some messed up boots on my joints and they are still there. How the heck do I get them out if they bent my fork.
You're not supposed to use a pickle fork on these types of joints.
@13:50 , I love that smile of satisfaction after smashing away with the BFH! :)
ty! great job, just 1 thing though.. when u have a car like that and the manufacturer is telling you to add "dot 3 only" as brake fluid nowadays u want to add dot 4 or 5
+mkatalin09 Thanks for the tip!
I agree. I upgraded my Mazda from DOT 3 to DOT 5.1 which is compatible with both 3 & 4. It stops at the drop of a dime and runs smoothly. The only brake fluid not compatible with dot 3 & 4 is the DOT 5 synthetic.
Should both sides be done at the same time or doesn’t it matter
wow that was the easiest way to remove bearing.. I seen some video people took 4 hours or more to remove it.
If I'm not mistaken, the wheel bearing was installed incorrectly--with the magnetic side of the wheel bearing facing outward, but I'm not sure why this is needed since there is an ABS ring on the axle...regardless, excellent video, thanks for sharing.
that bearing has no magnetic ring , but the rest of the video was done very well
I'm glad someone else saw this, she installed the wrong bearing and put it in backwards... If you have teeth for abs pickup, you don't need a bearing with a magnetic pick up built into it.
Ryan Bitting your right the ring is suppose to face inside towards the sensor
What do you think the consequence is due to the error? I'm trying to figure out why the instrument panel lights for ABS, DSC and anti spin are now lighted on my Mazda 6 2008 after the repair shop installed new bearings on front left wheel.
I think she knows better than ya'll...
My parts kit did not come with the nut. Only the spindle and bushing.
interesting technique-hammering the bearing out vs screw type pullers
If you've done that one before and you know where to hit it its ok. It's bad if it starts to get cock-eyed in the hole then you will likely damage the bore that seats the outer race of the bearing. Thats why
I would love to have you as my wife and my mechanic you are superior when it comes a car repairs great job I’m impressed Jorge Garcia Dallas Texas
For the rotor mounting screw, it is even easier if you use a JIS #3 cross point bit, which is the proper one to use as it matches the fastener. That is not actually a Phillips fastener, so a Phillips bit will not fit proper.
This guy gets it!
Is it just me? Or does that tire have a pretty substantial slice in it near the scuffed part of the wheel?
Excelente
+Sam Maverick M Lopez Thanks for the feedback!
Hi 1A Auto, I own a 2004 Mazda Mazda6 and it is having the symptom of a scrapping noise once per revolution at front driver side. After removing the wheel, scrapping noise still present. After resurfacing the rotor (no indication of warping by Orielly's Auto Parts), the scrapping noise is still present. I swapped driver side with front passenger side rotor to be sure it was not warped , symptom still present on driver side. I don't hear clicking noises from CV Axle on turns or accelerating. I am wondering if it could be a warped hub or wheel bearing issue. Please let me know what other checks I should perform.
+andrew rocha Hello. We can't diagnose vehicles like this, but you may want to check if there are any backing plates or shields rubbing on the brake rotor or on the CV axle. Thank you! 1AAuto.com
When you merge in the high speed to your left, is the noise softer or still the same?
Any luck?
How much is a typical bearing job?
It amazes me that Mazda uses no seals for these types of press in bearings. Went nuts my first mazda job trying to figure out if they were needed or just left off if it had been done previously...lol
Some kits come with a seal, they fail before the bearing does anyway.
I looking for control arm bolt for Mazda3 2007 sedan drivers side can you help me please

I love this girl. She's awesome with that hammer. What a kickass, badass girl. 😎
you do not need to have the adapter pressed off. you can just us a common three jaw puller to get it off.
she's great!
+Optimus Shepherd Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Someone installed new CV axle and didn't recommend replacing bearings while it was loose.
what a waste ..
Odd but love her voice. Sounds like she’s from NY or NJ
I guess she's a sufficiently experienced mechanic .
Very good jdb!!
and I wonder When using a wedged tool to separate the ball joint, should the inclined plane be on the opposite site of the rubber boot?
The inclined plane looks harmful for rubber materials.
I'm just curious.
BTW, the mechanic is so good.
+KS Lee Thanks for the feedback!
@@1AAuto My pleasure. Thanks! ;o)
So let's say a wheel stud gets stripped, would one need to replace the bearing as well or can just the plate with the studs be replaced?
+Nathan ThreeLeaf Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
@@1AAuto doesn't really answer the question but thanks anyway
Another comment the hammer faces if manufactured well will hardened faces, you are not supposed to hit hammer face to hammer face doing so invites shrapnel from the impact. Just a FYI.
NO NEED FOR HALF THAT WORK . I AM A PROFESSIONAL BRAKE SPECIALIST !
Do you have a video to show the shorten method?
There's no need to shout.
"PROFESSIONAL BRAKE SPECIALIST"!!! Blah blah blah. WTF does that mean. Put up something better or shut up.
isnt the lockring on wrong side? perhaps its diffrent on diffrent car.
👌👌👌👌👌
PLEASE CAN ANYBODY TELLS ME HOW I CAN GET THOSE ROUND CUBES TO PRESS THE BEARINGS INTO THE STEERING KNUCKLE? THANK YOU!
You can find a wheel bearing replacement set in Amazon. Get the astro brand it comes with adapters and the cylinders you need and you don't need a press

You are such a talented and smart lady, that is very attractive.

👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
do my eyes deceive me? at the end when tightening the lug nuts, it appears to be an /or the old rotor on it, not the new one she just installed.. you can see it plais as day.. still great vid.. 😊
The abs ring is actually not a big deal considering the sensor reads off of the CV shaft. My sensor didn't even have an abs ring and there's no light!
How much was that job?
mysteryyygirl about 500 per side for a shop to do it. 150 for parts 350 labor and supplies.
Great video! Why the annoying music? It does not add to the demo, its a distraction.
