I have watched many of your videos and I feel like you are one of the best and most honest mechanics that I have observed. I am not surprised that you have many "jobs" on your hands! The locals will "network" and find you, you are definitely a very excellent mechanic!! that is because you love your job and you really care about your customers!
It'syourboy LS Doesn’t matter anymore. Even IR moved all production to China & Taiwan years ago. Young technicians are paying premium prices for Chinese garbage from all three of the tool truck companies.
You've made a believer out of me with that HF impact. After watching you use it in several videos, and your positive comments, I'm adding one to my shop.
Eric I just bought the OTC giant ratcheting snap ring pliers (4513), biggest beast I've ever seen. I used them on a wheel bearing snap ring last night on this exact car, a 2010 Corolla. Didn't prep the snap ring at all, just put the pliers on and BOOM!. I highly, highly recommend you get a pair.
This isn't "semi entertaining"... This is super entertaining!!!!! I watch your channel daily. Have several friend who own shops, and have been able to refer your videos when my tech friends need ideas.. tools, techniques, etc.. You're awesome!!
We used to press them out at the dealer, Whole knuckle had to come out years ago. Press out the bearing, ball bearings come flying out of the loose ones. Fun
Eric O. ya'll are a good mech. Seeing the other shops send their failures to you and ya'll just chew them up and spit them out even difficult to sus electrical problems i have nothing but respect SMA. Just like Precision Transmission down Texas way i would have saved a lot of money watching youse dudes that are good back when younger.
Thanks for the vid. Snagged the big boy earthquake impact gun from HF and it made the job a breeze. Got the hub puller off of ebay. Forgot the snap ring while assembling the passenger side back together. So after reassembly of both sides twice I am now a pro lol. Thanks for the vid!

I don't mind paying someone to do quality work on my cars. That is why I do most of the work myself.... I appreciate your videos. If there were more shops like yours If be happy to let others do more work. RUclips in general really helps with those one of repairs that even with the full shop manuals available.
Holy man, you are an actual life saver, I tried for 30+ minutes until I found your video and then it took 5 minutes after I watched this video. You’re amazing
@@zzztubazzz Are you cracked out my man? I guess engine oil probably is lifetime too, what's gonna happen to it huh? Dirt get in? It's sealed obvously it can't get in. Air filters? It filters out the dirt how can it get dirty? Trans fluis? High pressure and clutches? No way they can go bad. Brake pads/rotors? No way it's metal on metal surely that will last forever.
Used this video for reference while swapping both front bearings on my 05 Matrix. Didn't get the bearings and now my washer is completely deformed haha. Thanks for the content! Noise is gone and we are all happy.
G'day, Mr.O!! I enjoyed the video! That was smashingly good video intro, using Classical Music! Extracted front-wheel hub, and then how you removed the snap ring, very gingerly from the groove! Thank you very much for the marvelous Toyota Corolla, Front Wheel Bearing Replacement!! Well done! Cheers! :-)🎼🚗❤️
Thank you! You saved me $200 my mechanic was charging me to do this. Instead of using the bearing puller though, with the money I saved I bought a $120 dollar press from HB (HB... I'm lovin' it) and did the job.
I enjoyed your "classy" intro, Eric, an intro employing Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. My favorite artist is violin virtuoso Hilary Hahn, an unabashed Bach fangirl. That stated, she did a spellbinding performance of Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 3 for Pope Benedict XVI 80th birthday.
Eric, You have set a new standard for classiness with this video, how are you ever going to surpass it? BTW it would be helpful to the know the mileage of these vehicles when their parts wear out :)
I love the final commentary where Eric O points out that since most DIYer's might not have one of these kits due to the lack of needing them very often, that it's still very feasible to just remove the whole knuckle and just take it to a machine shop for them to remove the old bearing and press in the new one. Having to get the alignment done sucks but with the huge cost savings of doing most the labor yourself, you'll knock off a few hundred dollars from this repair.
Took a minute to realize, I was hearing the sounds.... Eric is JUST NOT TALKING!!! Seemed very weird. I wondered what I would do, without your snarky commentary. You're more entertaining than you think. I missed your running dialogue.... I was relieved that you finally decided to talk to us....
Yep. That confirms it. I'd rather be covered in dust and flies, in 40°c+ heat, working on mechanical components covered with thick bulldust than work on wet, cold, mud covered corroded components and cop a bath at the same time !!!!. Screw that !!!!. Great vid as usual but was waiting for yourself and your lady to waltz past. Maybe next time. 👍👍
I bought one of those plastic push-pin removal pliers from Harbor Freight and found that it works very well for removing these wheel bearing snap rings.
I appreciate the video and removal but I personally found it easy to purchase the bearing, hub and spindle with new brake shield for $100. Solves all the headache and rust issues. Looks like a pita doing it like this. Love your content. Thank you. Dont know how i missed this video. Followed you for 6 yrs or so and own same vehicle.
In the early 1990's, Old Forge made a tool called THE HUB SHARK! I believe it was the same tool as the OTC. Nice job, thanks for all of your knowledge.
It's a born skill to be able to work on a car and explain the process of said mechanics. Nice one!! I can do mechanics, but can't explain it for crap tho.
Upmarket start I thought you were not going to speak for the entire video. You seemed to be in a really happy mood doing this job, sometimes your frustration with tools, rust and cranky electrics comes through. Another winning video
This brings back memories of doing the Auto Tech Program back in the seventies and in the winter all the cars were like frozen slushies ( only rust flavored) you'd bring them in the shop and slowly but surely you had slushie going down your neck and everywhere else as the cars started to defrost! I feel your upstate pain! love your videos! thank you and Happy fourth of July!
Classical music for a classic problem :-) If it was my car i would want both doing at the same time, if one is dead, the other is likely going bad. (Save having problems later).
Not true. A modern bearing doesn't usually "wear out" they fail. Maybe not manufactured perfectly, etc. I've changed one wheel bearing and put another 150,000 miles on with no problems from the other.
I disagree. It's normally the right side bearing that goes first due to "right turn on red" I suppose. Not sure if that's the reason but it normally is the right side that gives it up first.
In late 2012, nearly a year after I bought my '03 Mazda P5, the left side wheel bearing went and so far the right side is fine, and at 67K or so miles later, still fine. I bought the car with 110K or so miles on it to begin with.
SATAMAN Schmidt also thats the side that hits the most pot holes on the low side of the road,also see more ball joints and tie rod endds go on that side
Thank you so much Eric O. your U tube channel helps a lot to me, to my son in-law and to other people who owned a car . When i saw your U tube channel i was caught up with this video so interesting because i owned Corolla Altis 1.6V automatic and i need a little education about how the auto mechanic guy remove wheel bearing . More power to your U tube channel Eric O. 😊👏
Always use a proper torque wrench don't use power tools because if something is wrong you won't feel it and always clean everything properly I do always I worked on Million Pound cars and I've worked on bangers it doesn't matter which car i work on a million pound car or Bangor I will always do the same properly no half cuts lifes matter
Had a bearing finally go on me. It was making sound before on and off, but this year, it was constant and easy to diagnose. I tried to take it to the garage and they couldn't replicate it. In order for them to find out which corner, they needed to drive it. Now, the exhaust had blown and it got me thinking the sound was the exhaust slowly going. As it did before. Garage finally confirms the bearing is bad. No excess movement, just noisy. Crap had gotten inside.
Well done. Eric O. A+ Rating, I was supposed to walk the dog about 30 minutes ago. I was notified about new video just finished watching it compare to the other Corolla Bearing replacement job the procedure is the same now doggy walk time. Have a great day 😊
Will the WD dry out the grease from the bearings and cause fusing , i was told by a mechanic WD is not a true lubricant its a water displacement rust remover
Working under a snowy car dripping ice-cold water on you brings back memories, In my case we would occasionally get shocks from our old-fashioned trouble lights!
well dang you just gave me some serious confidence, my vw is finally showing signs of needing wheel bearings and i don't a press at my shop. as always thanks dr o!!
I used to say the same and THAT was the exact reason I originally bought and still usually use the grappler (I have the matco version) BUT I was trying with the more common 5lb slide that comes in the 9-way or 10-way kits by various brands (mine's OTC). I finally bought OTC's 10lb slide like Eric O is using and it makes the job MUCH easier. I can't slam'em out in three hits like 'flat-rate-master' does, but the 5-6 hit range like Eric routinely does isn't out of the ordinary. Honestly I just do prefer using the Grappler BUT not every knuckle has spots on it where I feel comfortable using it. I'll grab the slide any time I think I might wind up mangling the backing plate with the Grappler.
Bro, I like the fact that you state what most people think expecially when you are showing them the correct way and they know squat. Keep it up. I actually like watching to possibly learn a different way once in a while. (oh by the way, if you ever get a fag bearing. Show the box think how many people will get upset due to the fact it's a company)
Heck my 03 is still going STRONG with 97% original parts this is one of them none of the wheel bearings or other suspension parts have been replaced and it’s still riding fairly smooth (I do live in cali though) so it hasn’t been through a snowy winter in the whole 15 years I’ve had it so that probably helps

This is the first time that I've seen an auto mechanic video that was accompanied by Mozart's Eine kleine Nachtmusik. Not that I'm complaining.
He should have saved it for a BMW, Audi or Mercedes video. Give that Eurotrash some class.

Nice to see a car repair video made during a Rust Belt winter rather than sunny California where all parts magically separate with ease.
Harbor Freight owes you some sales commission cause this has convinced me. I'm buying that impact gun ASAP.
Me too, I've had my eye on that impact for a while and now after seeing that I'M BUYING ONE.
Just get a dewalt cost the same

Ive seen the FAG bearing before.
I believe your video was very informative. Pressed ball joints are a pain but with the right tool it’s possible
The music reminds me of that scene in Ace Ventura pet detective!
Heck my 03 is still going STRONG with 97% original parts this is one of them none of the wheel bearings or other suspension parts have been replaced and it’s still riding fairly smooth (I do live in cali though) so it hasn’t been through a snowy winter in the whole 15 years I’ve had it so that probably helps
