Men! I praise you for working on this crusty element.

[@ChrisCoulston]

I just discovered an awsome hack to simplify gettin the bearing free from the knuckle at 19:00 in the video. Attach the hub puller used at 7:10 to the bearing. I could only get two of the bolts, removed at 9:40, to fit, but that was sufficient to help move things in the right direction. I had to use a pry bar to help things along, but the bearing came out much easier than in this and other videos. Hope this helps someone out there!

Doing all of this with the knuckle still on the vehicle doesn't make a lot of sense. Only three fasteners need to be removed to get the knuckle off (granted they may be well siezed so this may explain the approach). I would have (a) disconnected the abs sensor from the other end (they always break if you try to remove the sensor from the knuckle), (b) removed the three bolts needed to take the entire knuckle off the vehicle, (c) use a shop press to press in the new hub.

[@cdotson0027]

What kind of press tool is that?

[@mountainman5025]

Sounds like the gears on the wrench are bad

[@64impalaSSRealMechanic315]

Can you press the bearing while everything is out

[@jaguars08221]

Thank the lord my 06 ex element has no rust on it what so ever.

[@javierpalomares2892]

[@TRQ]

+JAVIER PALOMARES The part in this video fits your application, and the install should be the same or similar. Buy this part on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
