6 years later and this video helped me today, thank you! I hope your parents are doing well
Ok this is one of the most realistic and detailed videos I have seen. Thank you 🙏🏽. Props to the whole annoying process and issues we will likely encounter. Great video bro.
I love how yours came right out. Mine was so stuck I had to pull the knuckle. And found both upper and lower control arm ball joints were shot. Turned into me pretty much replacing the whole driver sides suspension...fun times.
It's early 2019 and I have a roaring wheel bearing on my 2007 Grand Cherokee. Your video is very helpful! I can see just what to do. Thank you!
Thank you for posting this! I purchased a wheel hub assembly from Rock Auto and was able to replace it without any problems following the instructions on this video. I am no mechanic and this video made it easy. The only snafu I ran into was needing a 36mm deep well axle socket for the axle nut. It cost me an extra $25 at Advanced Auto. So basically for less than $100 and 90 minutes of my time I was able to repair my Jeep myself vs. the $300+ it would’ve cost me to take it to the shop.
Very HELPFUL video...step by step with LOTS of "watch out for's".
Glad you help your parents. You had proper upbringing!
Very helpful thank you
Thanks for posting this. Very helpful. I like that you talk about it like a normal person, and that you kept in all the little things that didn't go exactly to plan. It makes it more accessible for those of who are trying to learn.
thank you. I am glad you enjoyed it
Thanks! I'm changing the same side bearing on my mom's 2009 tomorrow! Her Jeep has 181,000 miles, it has ONLY needed normal wear parts besides a radiator since new! I have changed the oil every time myself (24 times... every 7,000 or so). Glad to see there are no major surprises with this hub/bearing replacement, looks similar to my 1999 XJ with the addition of an ABS sensor and no 13mm, 12-point socket heads.
this video was extremely helpful, the jeep dealership told me i have a broken front bearing and one in the rear. good thing you made this video because i wasn't about to give them a grand to do this job lol
isn't that awful? it's about $200 in parts, even if you have to go out and buy the right size sockets. a couple hours of time in the garage, and you saved about $800.
7 years later and its still the best video for this job. Well done!
Very kind of you to help you parents out. Well done
Best detail video I’ve seen with good quality my 06 GC was making a humming roaring noise and thought it was my driveshaft to find out it was my wheel hub thanks man
Good on you for taking such good care of your parents vehicle. Really enjoyed your step-by-step.
You are a absolute blessing!!!
I did the passenger side bearing on my 06 thanks to your video!
Very helpful video, thanks for all of the practical details, had a grinding front passenger wheel bearing on 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 90k miles. I don't own a puller so thought I would attempt to hammer off the hub with a hand sledge like you did. Like a few others, mine was very obstinate, but with enough pounding, it moved enough to fit a screwdriver, then a pry bar, to apply pressure on the other side while continuing to hammer the caliper side until it eventually popped off, took about 20 - 30 minutes with rests. I could not get past the internet disagreements over whether the 36mm CV axle nut should be torqued to 100 or 175 ft lbs, so went with 100.
Glad I could help. To my understanding 100ft lbs is for the regular grand Cherokee. The 175 is for the srt8
*This is exactly what I’m experiencing right at the same humming sound right at the 40-60mph marker. Narrowed it down to either tires or bearing. Needed new tires anyways and it kept going so I’m praying it’s the driver side wheel bearings.🙏🏼*
Nice to see you helping your parents, that's a good son! Question: why not use the impact to remove the bolts holding on the bearing?
a few suggestions:
clean up mating surfaces with carb cleaner
anti seize on the bearing bolts, spline grease on the CV axle shaft splines, anti seize were bearing fits into steering knuckle. Also anti seize on the hub where the brake rotor mates up. All makes for the next time to go easier.
Very informative, the camera angles were great, got to learn exactly how to do it. Excellent video.
Need mine done on my 07 Jeep Grand Cherokee by my mechanic. Now I know what he has to do. Thanks Much.
You totally got me when you put the amti-seize on the hub BEFORE you installed the brake rotor... I know its years since you made this video, but I may soon be doing this same on my 2009 GC 3,0 CRD.. and you are detailed enough to be a huge help!!
I'm in upstate NY. And I have been using anti-seize on everything for over 30 years, even the hub face so it dosen't seize the rim to hub. Hoping I don't have to explain a "mule-kick" to my wife,over the phone, 100 miles away. If she has a flat tire.😆
Hi there, hope your still online, just wanted to say GREAT video, very helpful. I have a 2008 WK and have hte same noise from the drivers side and am going to have a go myself. Also as an aside, well done looking after your parents. again thanks for this video
Thank you for the video was very helpful our bearing went the other day 2007 jeep grand cherokee
Thanks for this great video. Saved me a bundle of cash doing this myself.... got a hub assembly from jeepchryslerparts for £55 and did this in 3 hours. Just make sure you have a deep 36mm impact socket for the hub nut folks. And 15mm impact sockets for the hub bolts. Great video, thanks!
Always torque the axle nut to specification. too loose or too tight will cause premature bearing failure
Thanks for the video bud. And hope your parents health is good! Good of you to help your parents! Props..
Yeah. For sure. Keep on talkin'. Tell us some stories about yesteryear and driving the milk to market. Granny on the porch. A simpler time. Sorry. Got off on a tangent.
Yes definitely appreciate the talking. Let's us know what your experiencing. A lot of times just the tone of the voice tells us whether you're getting aggravated or it's easy you'd be surprised how many little cues like that can help you on what to expect when you're doing a similar job.
Thanks again for the video.
I work on For.ula race cars and have done this and bearings on dozens of vehicles. Besides all the race cars have had to do it on a whole variety of 63 Bonneville 69 GTO 83 BMW 96 Grand Cherokee 02 Ford escape - besides a whole assortment of friends' Fiat MG TR Chevys and Dodge now I have been blessed to do it on an 06 Grand Cherokee. Lucky guy.
Actually kind of looking forward to do it because the noise is horrendous and I know what will happen if I don't deal with it... Expediently.
My wife has a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo found you video great video easy to understand thanks
Very helpful thanks for the lesson
I am just waiting on my parts to come in & I will be attempting to this job
Glad it was helpful!
It's amazing how far battery powered tools have come in the last few years. The new generation Milwaukee impacts and ratchets could have handled all of those bolts. I haven't used my pneumatics in almost a year.
Made easy helpful for me to be able to do mine. Love the way you explained too
Great video, How you managed to do it without swearing is amazing, I seem to do an awful lot when I work on things, lol.
Thankyou very much. Couldn't figure out why the disc wouldn't come off until your video
Hey great video I need to install the brake dust shield is anyway with out take the hub out
Great video!
Just a few comments that may help people out:
When I do this job, I ensure that the bore in which the bearing hub sits is thoroughly cleaned out. There may be some that here, that will make reassembly more difficult. I also throw a thin application of bearing grease to the bore, so it slides in. I make sure the sounds are clean and also apply grease to the splines. The torque for the (3) 15mm hub boots (which I also clean on a wire wheel) is 75 ftlbs and the 36mms axle but is 175 ftlbs.
× ...splines are clean...
I always change unit bearings in pairs, if one is failing the other isnt far behind it. Peace of mind. Torque everything to factory specs.
Pretty good video
Thankxx for such a good video man. These mechanic shops are over priced
William t glad you enjoyed the video. They truly are.
Fantastic video, step by step instructions. I'm away to attempt this on my wife's car tomorrow. But it's going to be 36°F outside.
glad you like the video. I would love for it to 36 here. I'd be working on cars in shorts
Thank you for your video, It helped me to understand what the dealership was telling me needed to be fixed. I also question the 6 hours they quoted although I realize that you stopped the camera a time or two. I wonder if they trumped up the shop time charge a bit? Anyway, your parents are fortunate to have such a helpful caring son.
Carla Gamper this is less then a 45 minuet job. It’s even faster if it’s a rwd Jeep. It DOES NOT take six hours. Also the best bearing to install is a timken or mevotech. I have experienced premature failure and abs issues with other brands.
FYI.. put some of that antisieze on the mating aluminum/steel surface when you put the bearing back in...
Sir, you just saved me a couple hundred £££!I can't thank you enough!Have a nice day!
You're welcomes. Glad I could keep money in your wallet.
doing this today! Thanks for the Video!! Keep talking it makes it more interesting!
now the abs light is on and the check engine light as well I took it to the jeep dealer and a minth later it came back after changing me $1740 to fix it and replace the radiator...05 grand Cherokee larado
You are a good son. I know your parents appreciate you!
Thanks for your efforts. Great video. It'll help lots of people.
Brilliant.. going to do mine this week. Cheers from the uk
Would a CV Joint cause binding? Like a wheel trying to lockup momentarily? Thanks
Dude, does the passenger side not have a axle nut? Mine doesn't have one on the passenger side. 2013 jeep grand cherokee limited 2wd v6.
@11:25 : Wow, it came out with gentle tapping! Had you prepared it earlier? I took about 2 hours on each side, alternating between chiselling into the joint with chisels I had ground to a fine angle, and belting the hub flange with a 15 lb sledge hammer with about 15" of room to swing it.
in all my videos I do them real time. I am positive this is not the OG bearing. on most GM cars I have use a air hammer and sledge hammer to get those bearing out. and don't get me started on press in bearings. the joys of living in the Salt Belt
Superb video!!! Thank you very much for this complete guide!!!!
If the sound goes away turning left would it be left bearing bad?
very helpful...thanks...blessings and well wishes to your parent's
Nicely done man. Thanks for sharing this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Also I will use an impact to snug the bolts down for the first tightening but then use a torque wrench to get it exactly where they should be. Even on wheel lug nuts.
100 lb/ft for the big nut. Lots of threads about this, but most say 100 is the number. My XJ was 175 so it sounds low (as others have commented in threads).
What size socket did you use on the axle nut?
Thanks for the great video. Hope your parents are doing well!
What was the axel nut size?
nice video nd explanation thanks for sharing
What was the size of the socket used for cv shaft nut
Nice job. Very good tutorial.
How do you take the rear wheel hub off a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2014
Any idea the Knurl diameter of the wheel hub assembly studs?
Thanks very much for your time and video very very helpful
What kind of noise was your bearing making and at what speed did the bearing start making noise?
Thank you very much for this video, it was very helpful.
you're welcome. I am glad I could help
I have a 09 jeep grand Cherokee limited 5.7 and im changing both my fron wheel bearings tomorrow & i was hoping someone could tell me the axle nut torque amount & lug nut torque amount please, im afraid im going to tare up these new $450 front wheel bearings real fast just guessing, ive heard 100 ft and 175 ft, any ideas?
what size is the cv shaft nut? cheers
What happens if you don’t replace the rubber ring.mine don’t have one
Wht size sockets for the cv shaft bolt.
this dude cracks me up. he's the shit though
Thanks
What size socket do you use for the cv nut
Nice video well spoken keep them coming.👍
Mine was a 35mm. The guy at O’Reillys said if you have limited slip, it’s a 35mm
thanks for the video help out a lot
What size sockets did you use and for what?
Would it sound like a swooshing sound like something us rubbing it doesn't stop even when I apply brakes? I only hear it when doing around 25 to 35 mph. I brought it in they said it could be bearing but no play in wheel. Any info would be helpful. Keep up the good work on videos! Thanks
Good job but since you used anti seize on the wheel to hub contact I think you could have brushed everything and put some elsewhere too in the event you need to replace the axles
jim dandy great point. In the case of the jeep, because it's my parents and they are older and don't drive much replace more parts on this jeep isn't something I'm too concerned about.
Torque specs for the axle nut?
I wish you would have shown how much play was in the wheel bearing before you removed the wheel and tire
Hey Man awesome video, Im thinking in do in it myself but the only thing you didn't said is what size that sucket is to remove the axle nut
36 mm deep socket
good job, could've clean those bolt threads an the area after removing the Hub but other than that great job boss!
What size is needed for the axel nut???
So no washer.. the washer goes behind the hub?
Thanks for video! Do you know what is the size of that big socket on wheel bearing hub? Is it 35? I have 2009 WK Laredo.
I cannot remember off hand but I think it is in the comments.
Great video 👍 sorry to revive this thread but I'm about to do this on Tuesday myself and wondering what are all the socket sizes you used. I see the 36mm hex but what size are the other bolts ? Much appreciated!
very good video and helpful thanks brother....
wath tipe of stuff you put over the new bearing is that any tipe off glue?
Great video bro I have the same issue with my 2010 srt8 Jeep and I just got my new hub in the mail I’m about to change it soon thanks!
Glad I could help. Just be mindful that the torque specs for the srt8 are different than the regular grand Cherokees.
It's ironic he mentions torque specs, but he hasn't used a torque wrench. And he pounds on a ratchet with a hammer. Use a cheater extension but he was brought up properly so no cheating. Seriously !
Keith Ameerali calm down Karen
@@jth1987leb Well I wouldn't be taking tips from this guy.
Great bloke....really helpful
pjr9532 welcomes. Glad I could help
Torque Ft. Lbs. on axle nut ?
Great vid, well done....
Good Job! Mine is a 2014, I hope the process is the same.....i am going to buy the part now!
Thank You
It’s pretty much the same
Excellent video, Invest in an air impact wrench and you will thank yourself, those have so much more power than the battery ones.
Alex so I have a whole air system in my garage now. I spent a lot of air tools. Now I never use them. The most use the air compressor gets is to air up tires. I have invested into Milwaukee M12 line of cordless power tools. They are great! They also make the junkyard runs way faster.
@@jth1987leb That is true, the cordless impacts are helpful if you are working away from your garage.
not the good battery ones they dont. air is obsolete for cars
and for goodness sake man... wire brush some of the rust and crud off of things.
On a 07 Grand Cherokee.When pushing the piston back do u need to loosen the master cylinder cap
No you don’t
Good stuff!! Helped me out alot
jay vee thanks. I’m glad to hear you found it helpful
You put the bolts in already. Hang dust shield from the bolts. Makes it easier to start the bearing
What size is the input shaft nut size anyone know?
great video man
Great video. Do you know if the 2007 SRT8 uses the same bearings?
Tony Singh I believe so but the torque specs are different
A couple of questions:
1)What size is the socket for the CVJ nut?
2) I recently replaced the ABS sensor on the front pass side of my 09 GC. Now, 2 weeks later, Im starting to get a humming noise between 35-60 mph. Trying to pinpoint which bearing, so would the ABS sensor replacement be indicative of a bad bearing?
I think it was 36mm. And no. Replacing the abs speed sensor would not effect the bearing. To find out which bearing it is without taking anything apart, while driving turn the steering wheel left and right. If you turn the steering wheel to the left and the noise gets quieter or goes away it's the right bearing and if you turn right it's the left
+Joshua Harden thank you sir. It's that bearing. This video will be very helpful!
I kinda think that when a WSS gives an error it could be because the bearing is starting to go out and damaging the WSS. Metal shavings from the bearing getting on the Tone ring or the sensor. You maybe put a new sensor on then it temporally fixes the problem . Then the bearing goes out and you end up having to replace the whole hub that comes with a new WSS ??
It is 36mm but use an 8 point socket not 16 point.
I would use a 6 point on a hex nut. Not an 8
Question, I have a 2011 jeep grand Cherokee overland. I went to the dealership to calibrate the air suspension. They weren't able to get it to calibrate it. He suggested changeing out the bearings and struts. Does changeing them have anything to do with my air ride suspension?
I think you need to take it someplace else. Unless there is a dry rot or a hole in the air struts there’s no need to replace. Wheel bearing have nothing to do with air leveling system. If they are talking about strut bearings these jeeps don’t have strut bearings.
Awsome job man
