    So why not make a video on how I've done the job that might help you out with some ideas.

    Good vid mate.
    One thing to add is to support the inner race of new W- Bearing when pressing the hub back on otherwise the the hub will push the inner race out of new wheelbearing

    Great video. Only thing I did different was I made a leverage lock bar that bolts onto wheels studs to stop lifting when undoing centre bearing nut.(long flat bar that hits the ground with two holes to go onto wheel studs.) again well done video👍

    @CraigBrown-pj3hq Před 2 měsíci +1

    Just a note to go with this video - unless you have a 100 ton press, the trip to a local mechanic / machine shop will be a requirement. Small 10 ton presses don't have the oomph to move the bearing out of the housing. This is not something to try with a slide hammer as your bearing puller.......

      Gday John
      Im guessing an hour or 2 in labour plus parts.
      Cause I took the hub down to pedders suspension I paid for the bearing and half an hour of labour for the press.

      A 36mm socket is required to remove the axle nut. I have done this job on both sides of my Pontiac G8 (Holden Commodere in North America) and that was the socket sized used for the job.

      Id have to double check pretty sure i got the torque value from sap bearings and shafts
      So why can't you get it to do up ?

    • @CraigBrown-pj3hq
      @CraigBrown-pj3hq Před 2 měsíci

      It is the correct value for the axle nut per the service manual:
      Tighten
      Tighten the nut on first pass to 150 N·m (111 lb ft).
      Loosen
      Loosen the nut on second pass by 180 Degrees.
      Tighten
      Tighten the nut on third pass to 425 N·m (313 lb ft)
      Crimp nut.
