  • NEVER press in another wheel bearing OFF the vehicle! Forget the traditional press! Fastest most efficient repair process you will find on the interwebnets 😃. With out removal of the knuckle front and rear press-in bearings are easier than ever! Works on ALL press-in style wheel bearings. Sealed and non sealed press in bearing types.
    Throw the shop press away! Never press another bearing by removing the knuckle from the car. Sometimes this can be performed without even disturbing the alignment. Simple explanation of the entire process. There are tons of tools in the video and links to them are down below. All purchases from links will help the channel. Go crazy 😄

      Good video and advice apart from one thing. With grease, the more the merrier is incorrect. I was informed years ago by a bearing manufacturer that over greasing was the most common reason for premature failure as it can lead to localised overheating.
      Other than that, good, to the point video.

      @@idonotwantahandle2 I've also heard this from professional mechanics. The extra grease has nowhere to go and thus create unnecessary pressure and churning which could damage the seals. At some point the grease could prevent smooth rolling. I could not believe it at first but I checked out some old bearings and yes some of them are full of grease but the bearing is stuck or hardly rolls.

    Really well done, I paused and replayed this one a few times. We don't see this kind of detail with sealed bearings, it was eye opening to see how these old style open bearings come apart. Good point about no grease on the outside of the races during installation. Although it might be tempting to use antiseize, you don't want that getting into the bearing surfaces. I understand your point, they are better left dry, they are supposed to seize a little on each side. I've heard remarks about taking care around speed sensors, when would you try to take the sensor out before doing the bearing?

    • @EasyFix.
      @EasyFix.  Před 3 lety +11

      Thanks! I really appreciate that. The speed sensor should always be removed before repair. The particular Subaru I was working on had a very short sensor that didn’t protrude enough to need removal. But if the sensor is there it’s always best to remove if you can to avoid damage while working in and around that hub area. I’m glad you like the detail of the video! A lot of effort went into making that video. It’s a hard video to capture and also a difficult job compared to a bolt in bearing. Totally doable. But with both videoing and working it was a lot or organization. Thanks for checking that one out! 😀

    @burrowssj Před rokem +3

    Very well presented and some top quality tips! I'm a novice mechanic and seeing someone do it differently is always good for opening the mind of other ways to do things. With these Subaru bearings I usually just pull the whole hub and slap it in the press, I can do both sides in 2hrs quite comfortably without rushing, I wonder how fast you smash it out this way? I feel like the press method is much simpler/easier assuming you have the tools on hand. We don't have to worry about rust where I live so that probably makes things much easier if you wanna remove multiple arms etc.

    • @EasyFix.
      @EasyFix.  Před rokem +2

      The tool works really fast for me. With no rust I could beat a traditional press time easily. Plus if the the cv axle can be removed with out removing any steering or suspension adjustment bolts, an alignment may not be needed. If the knuckle is removed an alignment is needed afterwards. I prefer the on car tool. I don't think I have used a traditional press for a wheel bearing replacement in at least a decade. The only exception that comes to mind would be like a Toyota Tundra front or rear wheel bearing at times. Especially the rear. There are always exceptions to the rule. I would say the on car press does 99% of press in bearings out there though. Super valuable tool to have and try. Make sure you get a kit with a fine thread bolt if you are going to use it a lot. Those last a decade or so vs corse thread 😃🔧

    Awesome video i really wish i could use this style press where i live, im from Atlantic Canada where everything is extremely seized you have to use a oxy acy torch on everything before it will budge. I have one of these presses it does work on the atv's around here because they see way less road salt. But my 20 ton press even struggles sometimes to break free bearings here even after heating the bearing/race red hot. Pressing in is easy but coming out its always a big bang with 20tons behind it lol.

      @@mikemonaco3547 Yup all of the tools and concepts apply to your vehicle. Your front bearings are press in sealed press in style. The rear bearing is a sealed style hybrid bearing. The rear bearing portion bolts in. The rear hub though, will need to be unpressed to save it, and pressed back into the new bearing. 😃🔧

    I didn't see you do it but it's a good idea to clean the wheel studs before reinstalling the wheel spacers AND also apply red lock tite to the wheel studs so when you torque down tje wheel spacers you have more.confidence that they won't back off. Then install.your wheel as you would. I like a dab of anti sieze on the spacer studs to make removal easier.

    Currently doing the left rear wheel bearing on a 2001 Jaguar XJR. Prior owner (or owner's mechanic) didn't tighten the axle nut anywhere near the requisite torque spec and as a result it's been slowly working its way out as I've been driving it.
    Hub fought me a bit but it popped out after a bit of pressure from the puller and taps with a hammer on the rim. Bearing basically fell out once the hub was out, only things that are still in there are the inner and outer races. Going to see if the parts store has the bearing kit back in stock yet and hope it has a disc the right size to pull my races out.

      There was a lot of change over around the 03-06 model years on brake and bearing parts. I have been burned on parts like you also. Happens sometimes in the parts catalogs and it sucks. If you have the press in bearings this should be the video you need. Its a weird concept, once you do them a few times it is easy to understand. That is why there are not a lot of great videos on it. I tried hard to include as much information as I could so you could grasp concepts in the video. I also tried to give optional ideas of how some of the process could be done so that you could get a better idea. It may have made the video to complex. But, I wanted to show concepts of how press in bearings work and there is no absolute way to do them so that you can work through whatever small design differences you may have on your particular make year and model. Press in bearings are all basically the same. 😃🔧🔧 I have a second video on press in bearings (press in 1.0) also that could be helpful.
