Ohhhh 😳
@@SouthMainAuto But I don't see why, a simple bolt and nut work a treat!
@@AstroTools might have to send Eric a little something, something, let him give it a test run :)
@@AstroTools I can see it now. A specialty bolt with a swivel foot to prevent damage to the knuckle ❤️ Clearing room in the box as we speak.
stop teasing us!
CZcams is THE single most hated website by dealerships because of tips like these!
been in this trade for 30 years now and not once have I thought about doing it this way. prove that you are never too old to learn new ways 👍
Everyday is a school day
Nah, your claim you prove it.
Jay Why, what took you so long to learn this? I knew such tricks long ago.
I would use a good heavy slide hammer.
Greatings from Bavaria/ Germany
Use a slide hammer
Wow! I work alone in a family auto repair shop. I've struggled with this type of bearing for days in the past. Beating, slide hammer, soaking for days, taking the knuckle off, etc. I went to napa, got a grade 8, 1/2" bolt and nut, and got it out in less than 20 minutes. Thank you so much! Best tip I've seen in years!
Have been a Tech for 40 years in Omaha where they find new ways to dump more brine on the streets. I was blessed with a 13 explorer rear wheel bearing today and your technique worked great. Thanks for the tip, keep um coming!
I bet the factory service manual says, "Remove bearing assembly from steering knuckle." Videos that show mechanics just pulling them out like it's no big deal are so useless. This one's great!
More like, "Slide bearing assembly out fully intact from the steering knuckle and don't scratch a thing". As IF we garage monkeys never use a hammer!
Yeah. Maybe Cali, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas you might do that. In Europe Southern Spain or Italy.
Here in England, no chance. I have learned a lot from Eric about dealing with rust.

There's times you treat it like pos it is.
Not to mention that the time allotment for the job doesn't probably consider
a half hour to a full hour of work to remove a really stubborn one. So much for flat rate.
Eric we have struggled removing this type of wheel bearing on Audi’s & Volkswagen’s for years. This is the 2nd time today that something so simple was just never seen by me. Tips like this is why I for one think you are the man 🙏🙏👍👍
On most European cars with this type of hub. And, which BTW don't have studs. The method is even simpler. Just thread a bolt of suitable length on the hole. Done!
Better yet, two bolts on opposing sides. ;-)
@@crpth1 That's what these holes were for!
I remember them from 60 years ago,when I started work as an apprentice Fitter!
@@crpth1 , 100%, I just changed the bearing on my 16 xc60. Tried every method I could find and it wouldn't budge.! Then I thought to turn the lugnuts around and screw that beast out! I for sure thought I would snap one but I'll be damn if it didn't slide right out!
Nothing short of amazing 🤩
I have a late 90’s gm truck and had to use an Acetylene torch and chisels together before the corrosion gave.
YOU ARE THE MAN! I've been beating on this hub for two hours trying to break it loose and your trick took 45 minutes. Thank you for sharing! I'll keep this trick in my back pocket now. 👍
Did mine on a 2007 Lincoln Navigator in the drive way last week,cold in Canada. Tried beating it out,no luck did it exactly like this guy out in ten minutes. Best trick ever.Thanks bro.
Like Grandpa always said "You learn something old every day." Because it's only new to you.
Just used this trick today on a 2015 Explorer and it worked perfectly, saved a lot of time 👌
GooD SoN!
@@c.l.vanhorne117 Dad??
About to do my 2015 explorer again after a year. Won't be buying cheap parts again no time soon.
This is the only video that i found on the internet that actually shows something that works EFFORTLESSLY. THANK YOU!
Thanks so much for making this video! After hammer away for 40 minutes on my 04 XJ8 front two wheel bearings. I found this video.. omg it worked !! 5 min later and both were out .. thank you again. Great great tip.
I was in the auto repair business for 40 years, and this is an excellent tip. I was thinking as I was watching you, that you could have simply popped 2 studs out and saved yourself a lot of time, and then you mentioned that idea too. If you only have one nut and bolt handy, then your method will work nicely as you demonstrated.
Either way, you taught me something new, and I have a Freestar, so if I have to do this in my driveway, this will be a good tip to remember. Thanks.
This saved me so much time, was whacking away at the wheel bearing on my 14 explorer with an 8lb sledge and it wasnt moving an inch (living in Newfoundland, Canada salt is everywhere), called a local shop told me it had to be pressed out then i seen this video got it started with the bolts got a pry bar behind it whacked it a half dozen times and out she came. Awesome job going to have to buy some SMA merch now so you get your cut.
Best trick I've seen in a while! Just completed this job on a 2015 Taurus. Worked like charm. Much easier that taking the knuckle to the press!
I love out of box thinking to solve these types of problems. I have to replace my rear left wheel bearing on my 2014 Explorer and I will trying this technique and update the results here when I do. One of the most useful videos I have seen in a long time!
Leave it to Eric o to make this look easy. I have seen people spend half a day just to do one of these bearings. Very well done.
Almost as much work as the older pressed on ones :lol:
They aren't that bad iv done em I about 40 mins with a 5lb hammer. I live in Buffalo NY so I'm not stranger to electrolysis. Just have to be prepared to swing until your arms hurt then do it again LOL
@@ryanrohauer5940 - You are a lucky person if you did it in 40 mins on this type of vehicle. Even in the South these vehicles are a pain to do the rear hubs.
@@meabob i worked at a ford dealer for a few years did plenty of them. the Taurus was the same story on the rear hubs seen alot of them too. the first couple were a bitch and kicked my ass for sure. but you get em down i can do em in 40mins to an hour .if i feel like makin money that day haha IIRC they only paid a bit over an hour labor warranty that is. customer pay was just shy of 2 hrs i think
@@ryanrohauer5940
I just did one on a subaru in about an hr with the drive test
Yep, I actually used this not too long ago. I searched the CZcams for ideas on how to remove a stuck wheel bearing and and this method came up. It worked out real well!
Just used this method today on my very rusty 2010 Lincoln MKT, was a lot of work with no air tools, but what a feeling when it finally popped off!! Thanks Eric!
Glad it helped
I just so happen to have the exact same vehicle as in the video, 2013 Ford Explorer. I was about to give up and call a tow to take my vehicle to the mechanic when I found your video. Worked like a charm. I did the same thing except I had no air tools or impact driver. Just a socket and breaker bar. I used the bolt at approx 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock. Took some time but eventually came out. Once you see what is inside you realize why it was so hard to get out. Thanks for making this video
Brutally honest and then dosent want to be a jerk. Hey, sometimes people need the truth!!! That backing plate is just fine with a dent or 3
It's gonna be gone by the time the cars like 15 years old...won't matter much here xd
what's a backing plate? Mine rotted off years ago, lol
Just in time - I was about to watch a 6 year old 'vintage' SMA video.
Good job man, thinking outside the box gets it done every time. I am an industrial mechanic and we encounter ridiculous situations similar to this fairly often. I also work on heavy trucks, they are stupid to work on. If you can’t think, you are beaten.
I recently removed the rear wheel bearings on a Ford Flex with this method. Saved me hours of physical abuse with a sledge hammer. They were both off in a few minutes without breaking a sweat. Thanks SMA. Appreciate everything you share.
Wanted to say thanks for this video. I’ve been watching for a long time. Neighbor had been working on a wheel bearing all day, beating it with a hammer, slide hammer, air hammer (not big nasty sized) and nothing. I said south main had a video doing this I could swear. 20-30 min later it was off.
Great job I was a mechanic for 25 yrs and always found different ways to do things. But a good BFH is also a great tool to have when needed.
The BFH is great especially when it’s used on removing lower ball joints.. always fun counting how many hits it take
I've been doing car/bus repairs for a long time and I've never thought of doing it this way! Thank you!
Nice work Eric, thank heaven I don't own a ford! I will do the same method for my 05 Silverado 4x4 on the front end. I do love your instructional videos and watch you in action whenever I want to refresh my methods before doing repairs on my truck. Thanks, Eric!
I just used this trick yesterday, what a time saver! After a half hour of beating and getting nowhere, I remembered seeing you do this. I didn't have a grade 8 bolt though, so I torqued it and hammered and re-torqued which worked excellent! I had both sides off in under 10 minutes.
Nice work!
What’s is a grade 8 bolt? Will galvanized steel from Home Depot work?
@@shellysdopevids6988 Not all steel/bolts are the same, some are stronger than others. You'll find videos on here that explains the markings on the head of bolts, much better than I could in the comments section.
As a man that married a woman from right down the road (Campbell/Sovona) from you and brought her to Virginia, I must say you bring her a taste of home. Every time I play your videos she perks up because you "sound like home." 😅
Dude. I was struggling for over an hour. Watched this video and it was off within about 5 mins. Thank man!!!! Awesome video
Looks like someone hasn't had the rear toe link recall completed on their 2013 ford explorer. At 7:31 you can see that the old welded style are still installed. Eric, I'm in CT. Love your channel. I did 21 years in the Navy as a diesel mechanic and refrigeration and do all of my own vehicle maintenance. I don't have half the confidence you do. You are truly inspiring. Take care.
Glad guys are putting their tid bits of helping knowledge out here for people to learn My uncle has a shop Semi /Diesel trucks and local fire departments vechicles. Many times when the employees come by police and fire departments with personal vechicles these problems are quite common. Two bolts /nut with some washers most times do the trick. The air chisels are always a good idea to have standing by. Or just several chisels and a 4 pound maul hammer will eventually pop it. Good video for do it yourself and safety first.
OMG Eric! Thank you so much for this awesome tip! I just did one on my 2010 Ford Flex and it worked a charm! I dont know what i would have done had i not seen this video. You are a lifesaver! Thank you so much for all you do!
I owe you a cold one man.
I'm at work today with a Ford explorer, both rear wheel bearing growling. I beat the living snot out of it and all of a sudden I thought to myself "didn't I see buddy do this car with a press idea last week or week before" quickly I skipped ahead to the bolt through the hub and went ohhhh yaaaaaaaa. Worked like a charm man. Thank you so much. I've munched 3 grade 8 bolts so far and still gotta do the other bloody side. Customer is upset it's taking so long but that's the way she goes! 6pm now and we close at 9pm gonna be close.
Some hubs have threaded jack bolt holes for this purpose.
Used it on heavy Equipment alot.
Excellent channel
Nice you help people.
This hub has one too. You can see it at the beginning of the video.
@@Name-vu1kn yeah, 1/4" bolts 😂 could work in florida
👍👍👍👍👍
I have had 2 of these bearings kick my ass. I can't wait to try this method. Thanks Eric
This worked out great on the hardest wheel hub I have ever encountered. Front Lincoln LS hub. Known this trick for years but seeing it again on here brings back the joy of knowing it. Thank you.
Good job. I just replaced a rear bearing on a ford expedition and can say with confidence you did a great job here.
That was awesome, I learn something every video, and I thought you were an electrical genius only. This is what I would call dissimilar metal corrosion, steel mated to aluminum with no anti seize applied, I always coat parts before assembly, thank you soo much for sharing your knowledge without cursing like a sailor, LOL.
That might be the best trick I've seen for working on a car period. Great tip.
And again Eric O saves the day, Thank you so much for this. Worked beautifully for me after several failed attempts with air hammer torches etc. Might be overkill but I put a washer between the knuckle and bolt to prevent any damage. Cheers
This is definitely an old school trick. I seen things like this. My grandfather used the nut and bolt as a puller or press when the area had a hole and flat area to press up against. He went way back working on cars in the 1920's and 30's. He said they didn't either have all the press or pullers to do the work on the car or not at all or you would have to beat the crap out of it with a hammer. Good to see these old - fashioned tricks of the trade are still alive. Thanks for sharing this video.
Videos like this make me appreciate living in FL. I will never complain again..
Ya i live in Canada and you have no idea how much we gotta break out the big hammer for rust and corrosion
@@sendit1158 Every time I fix something on my wife's 2000 Saturn, it loses 5lbs of rust!
Depends on how close you live to the coast but the salt in the air can cause pretty gnarly damage too.
Thanks Eric. I’m doing a wheel bearing tomorrow and I feel this is going to save me a ton of time
I've watched your procedures in the past and your one of the best and knowledgeable on utube..... for me getting a stuck wheel bearing out of knuckle, I leave 2 bolts in the wheel bearing loose and use the long hammer air hammer on the back side and push bearing out on the bolts threaded in the bearing.... never had one that wouldn't come out.
This is exactly the way I do it. Have had to replace both rear bearings on my wife's 2016 Explorer. I knock out 2 studs and use 2 bolts and it makes it go a little quicker. Love that Seafoam too. I also use a little heat with my torch and some encouragement with a small sledge and they come right out. Great video!
A good tech tip to help in this situation. Thanks for passing it on, Eric. I'll keep this tip in my back pocket too, maybe use it in another conundrum of this sort.
By the way there is a puller tool just for this that makes it a joke
Love the fact it separates the backing plate from the hub at the same time. That is usually just as difficult too. Been using this method for front hubs but great idea on the back.
You are the best. I write down some of your classic lines and life snippets on flashcards so I can really commit them to memory... I love it when some of my friends give me a double-take and say, what did you just say? Thanks for all your tricks and tips as I am a professional DIY dude. This one totally saved my bacon! Or as Curtis would say, Bacon; it's good for me.
Thanks Eric. This method is a life saver. I used it on my girlfriends 2014 Chevy Impala LT. Hit it with a hammer a couple times, did nothing so i was like nope grab a bolt and a nut. Less than 5 mins bearing/ hub assembly was out.
Best personality on CZcams...period. Big Nasty and Thor in tandem - it doesn't get any better than that!!!
Thanks for coming in today Fella 👌🤙
I am currently attempting to change bearings on a Ford explorer and I've been beating on the hub all day. This is a life saver
No need for criticism executed brilliantly so grateful that I found you
Just like me mom told me, don't work hard, work smart. Good job Eric.
“Get a life cause it really doesn’t matter”. That was good
I used this method years ago on a 2002 sienna rear bearings. Works great. I thought i was the first to think of this method. 😡
Ecclesiastes 1:9 "...and there is no new thing under the sun." 😁
I used it on a Lincoln LS (except I removed three studs and put three bolts in at the same time). Posted it to an Lincoln forum and that;s how everyone on that list did it. Thought I was the first to think of it.
It’s a pretty standard method on Euro cars because they don’t have studs. Probably the only good thing about having lug bolts!
LOL
"Snap on off out of here" 😂 I always enjoy your sense of humor. It makes watching your videos that much more enjoyable.
Great idea. Quick and simple and straight to the point!!!
Eric you always know how to use leverage and pressure to your advantage. Awesome tips
The "Last chance" ( I believe they are called in one of his later vids) work great! I grease the bolts before I run them in for a little less friction. I've done 3 or 4 in the last few weeks with no assistant and I have had no trouble at all. Saves time even though the bolts are definitely a wear part. I will gladly pay a couple of bucks for the bolts to save myself hours of labor.
Real life challenges in your field and helping others by sharing your experience and knowledge. Salute.!!!
This was the best video I found when I was about to give up on a 2012 Buick Lacrosse wheel bearing. This hub had holes between the studs so I did not have to remove one. Unfortunately, the only bolts I could find were not threaded all the way, and of course I ran out of threads before the bearing came all the way out. The nuts had seized and would not go either way. So with the bolts still creating the outward pressure, I was able to break it loose with a few blows from a hammer. Thank you for uploading this, I would probably still be spraying/heating/hammering to this day without it.
Thanks for this! I'm an apprentice tech, and some techs in my shop were stuck trying to get a bearing off on a jeep commander. I asked them try something and used this trick and got it off easy as and they were impressed :)
I just used a sledge hammer and pure rage. No air tools.
Ya GOTTA get it loosed up by having a beer or two before you start... Pent up rage thats release by some liquid courage will assist...
I have watched your videos for quite some time now and enjoy them. I'm a big DYI on most anything, was brought up to try and do things yourself before paying someone to do it. Such is the case with my wife's 2011 Cadillac CTS. Right rear wheel sensor code, no tc, no abs no AWD. On my Edge you just change the axle when the tone ring breaks, problem solved! Not so on the CTS. Used your method to get the hub out with the method you used in this video. It came right out! Thank you! Please continue your good work! Also, I admire your abilities when working on electrical items. Pretty cool...thanks again!
I know this video is a bit old but I am a subscriber and just wanted to day Thank you!! I was beating the snot.out of a rear bearing on a 2015 traverse and this worked like a charm, literally 3 or 4 minutes and it was out. Thank you for taking the time to film, edit and post this content. You sir help so many people and I for 1 greatly appreciate your effort, your time and knowledge....thank you Eric.
I miss the brake clean sound effects, but I can live with it. Great tip!
There is nothing like Eric presenting us with Air Hammer Ballet.
Long time viewer. Used this trick yesterday on my 03 hemi dodge ram. Worked like a charm. Thanks
I have done this a couple of times, but I just did one of these today and I didn't remember this. Sometimes I am a bit dense. Great video. Thanks for reminding me!
Hmmm, Eric must have switched brake clean brands, cuz this one doesn't make any noise. Don't know if I trust it...
Just what I was thinking.... no sound effect makes me highly suspicious.
Must have put the new muffler on it....seams awful quiet. Must be from China!!! OR Doorman makes brake cleaner now. LMAO!!!
@@billysmith6131 Nope, NOT Doorman, it worked (even if it was too quiet)...
I don’t know if he has a sound for sea foam penetrating oil.
😲😵
Wish we knew this a couple days ago! Ended up charging the police department for a new knuckle after wasting an hour trying to get the bearing out.
Don’t worry about it. All they have to do is to ticket the next guy they see going 1mph over the limit. That will recover the cost of the knuckle.
The ticket I got on the Mass Pike a few years back could've bought TWO of those for them ...
NO WORRY. THEY'LL JUST RAISE YOUR TAXES NEXT YEAR TO COVER IT....
👍👍👍
@@brianburns7211 problem there all the popo watch this channel too and the next ticket will be the mechanics ..... damn .... lol
Just did this today after watching your video. I have a 2013 explorer xlt and this method is legit. I had to use washers with my bolt but it came off after going back and forth from each side a couple times. I didn't have an air chisel so after I had quite some separation I took a hammer and a chisel between the bearing and knuckle.
Great time to share this trick. I will be doing mine on a sedan soon IRS rear bearing. Knowing this trick might just save the day.
Get the helper some hearing protection, speaking from experience it will help in the long run. Keep up the good work love the vids. From UK
Did you say "hearing" protection? 🤣😂
I was just waiting for the other guy to hit Eric with an air hammer
He came pretty close though didnt he. I was thinking "This is an accident waiting to happen" as they were using the air chisels on it! So I'm glad they didn't get hurt cuz that surely would've happened to me with my womderful Luck.🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was not just the other guy. That there is the most eligible bachelor at SMA.
Eric wouldn't have felt a thing those arms are made from Adamantium

What a sweet little trick from your back pocket. Now I have it too. Thanks a million.
Just had to do a wheel bearing on a 13 Explorer this week and used this method and it worked perfectly!
I would have to make an appointment with the psychiatrist first to get meds before I attempt changing the bearings myself. This is one of the things I’d rather pay to get it done. You almost make everything look too easy. 👍 🇺🇸
Great idea. Usually when I put these back in, I'll use a little anti-seize. Gives me hope that if I have to do it again, it might not be as difficult.
One can only hope.
Actually using copperized season cream will guarantee it will come off again very easily.
@@lanenorthcutt349 actually using copper season cream by permatex will ensure that it will come off very easily the next time as long as those services are clean.
@@willsrestorations why copper and not siver,normal anti sieze?
@@g.reyner1868 because the copper seizing cream has a much higher melting point and with the copper type it will guarantee it will break free the next time it needs repair
How in the world did I miss this video, ohhhhh I know, so I could beat on the last one like a big idiot.
Awesome of you to share this man!
Thanks for everything Eric, you're a good man!
Thanks for the tip, and great job explaining the step by step method !!!!
What happened to the "Brake Clean" sound effect.
It's on vacation this week.
Maybe he's stuck with the California-grade Brakleen that doesn't have the sound effect.
@@jaymzx0 Caution: The State of California has determined that everything causes cancer.

It was the no hearing protection that got me. As someone with long term tinnitus problems (25 years or so), I just like to see people look after their hearing better.
Thanks for this tip I did my right rear bearing last week and it was complete hell. I need to do the driver rear now and was thinking about getting the kuckle but will definitely try this
Got me one booked in tomorrow, thought id have a look and see how you would do it! Now I can't wait to do it!
Thank you again!
Neat headache saving trick! However it would appear that you could also remove a second stud and use two longer bolts and go at them intermittently until the whole bearing just pops out of the knuckle
You saved me from typing these exact thoughts ! LOL
Agree, he should have used atleast two bolts.
Yes, he said exactly that at the end of the video.
5:15-5:45 is basically Synchronized Swimming for mechanics.
YEP, I GIVE THEM AN 8 FOR FORM AND A 10 FOR DIFFICULTY.

Reminded of the old SNL skit with Harry Shearer and Martin Short!
👍👍
I've watched a few of your videos now and it was this one that made me subscribe.
Genius! Your vids have helped me out on more then one occasion. Thanks for posting this!
I've used your method in the past.....
Eric , I don't think there is anything you can't do , you really are "the man"
Oxidation sealed in like that around the bearing will seal it beyond tight !
Joe... Navy veteran..
Great idea. I'd use three longer bolts and turn them each successively to keep the force aligned. :)
Industrial pulley and sprocket sheaves can be separated this way with just two or three quarter inch bolts and a hand wrench. The key is to apply even pressure with each bolt. If you're pulling one-sided like in this video, it can be almost, if not completely, impossible to separate them.
Ditto
I’d drive that explorer to the junkyard.
@@relyenterprisestx You've got too much money.
Great idea and method, I've never changed rear wheel bearings, only the fronts. Thank you very much and will remember this.
Awesome video, can’t thank these guys and videos enough when you are in a jam. 🙏
Awesome video, I will definitely remember this trick! They are a real PITA. Your right even if you can get a puller through there(no axle going through hub) the pullers don’t work. No matter what you gonna damage that rotor shield
1:58 _captain knuckle_ reference? Awesome😄
We put man on the moon in July 1969 and this is what today’s vehicle engineers are delivering us. Thank god for common sense trouble shooting mechanics.
It's not the engineers fault... it's the purchase department of the manufacturers telling their suppliers that the whole part mustn't cost more than $2.47 and must reduce in price 3% every year for 5 years, or they won't buy it. Then you get what they pay for. Somebody makes it cheaper and it dissolves in rust in 5 years? Awesome! Steady spare part revenue and happy dealers!
Moon landing was faked
