I spend most of the the time either looking for the right tool or fighting with one stubborn bolt that decides it doesn't want to come off. I changed my CV axle last week and it went much smoother than i thought. But i found out i now have to change the wheel barrings also.

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  14 лет назад +6

    I'd definitely check the wheel bearing on the right hand side. If it's the brakes making that noise, it will be completely obvious when you remove the wheel, so certainly check that out. The wheel bearing is inside a sealed hub, so you can't see them when they go bad. And as old as that thing is, odds are it has gone bad. Scotty Kilmer

    Me and my brother managed to remove the front wheel bearing by putting a socket onto the bearing and hammer it out (took a while, but it works), and then put the new one back in by hammering it down evenly with a plank in-between so the bearing wouldn't be damaged.

    @EAWitkowski wheel bearings roar as they wear, louder the faster you go. I would assume a different suspension problem, but it's going to be hard to figure out until it gets worse. But a really good front end man may be able to figure it out with his equipment, most give free estimates. If you're near houston, cotton brothers front end can always figure it out.

    another tip is to put the new bearing in the freezer while you're getting the old one out. that will "shrink" it and help it press in easier.

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  13 лет назад +3

    @LuchoLuchan yes, the tool is universal for most cars. Without power tools if's very hard to do this, and most guys normally use a machine press to press the bearings out and in. As for sizes, heck, even I don't remember any of that stuff, I just grab an assortment of sockets and see which one fits. no one really stores such information in books or online. Scotty

    MIght be a good idea for people without a super-air gun to remove the axle nut with the wheel on and the car on the ground. That way they can use a cheater pipe and plenty of torque with the tire preventing everything else from turning... and thanks for the video! Oh, and doesn't the fork tool usually ruin the boot of the tie rod or ball joint?

  • @Autofixpals
    @Autofixpals 8 лет назад +13

    you didnt use a torque stick to tighten the wheels back up. NEVER tighten wheels up with an impact gun unless you are using a torque limiting extension also known as a torque stick. You can make the mistake of over tightening (warps rotors) or under tightening (wheel falling off).. Use a torque stick they are cheap and easy to use. No reason not to use them.

    • @CT_Taylor

You only need to pop the lower balljoint to clear the cv axle and complete the job @ 1/2 book time. You can get the basic SIR tool for your car less than $300 and save $ 1st time its used. I have similar OTC Hubtamer..awesome tool..my shop press is get'n dusty now!

    @cjoakman7715 5 лет назад

    Congrats on your Golden Play Button Scotty! Love your videos and have watched....almost all of them...lol. I'm working on a friend's 2005 Highlander. She needed front wheel bearings, so I ordered her new bearings and hubs and had them all pressed together at a local machine shop. When I got them back, the bearings had been pressed just a tad too far. The outer part of the bearing was stopped by the snap ring, but the inner part was actually flush with the snap ring. For example, if I had to take the snap ring out, I couldn't, because the inner part of the bearing is in the way. I hope that makes sense, I suck at explaining things. Anyway, I was able to get one bearing all good and moved back to where it's supposed to be (drivers side), but the passenger side got all screwy when I tried knocking the bearing back to where it was supposed to be. Now, the outer part is still up against the snap ring, then I can see a rubber seal of some kind, then the next section of bearing is knocked in too far (about1/4"), then the innermost section of bearing (that the hub WAS pressed into) is right where it's supposed to be. So basically, 2/3 of the bearing is in the right spot, but the middle section is in about 1/4". Also, the hub came out along with the race when I was trying to knock the bearing back in position. Seems like that hub came out awfully easy....idk. I wish I could post pics. I want to just order another new bearing and have it pressed in again, but problem is time. That would take another week and she needs her vehicle....UGHH!! So do you think this bearing is ruined or can it be used again? I love doing favors for free! Always....and I mean ALWAYS works out this way and I end up being the bad guy somehow! Also, when I got the hub and knuckle assemblies back from the machine shop and they were ready (I thought) to be put on, I noticed that when I grabbed the hub and moved it to check for "wiggle", they both had some play. Not much, but they did wiggle a bit. Is this normal for these Toyotas? Thanks in advance to anyone that may be of help!

    Hey, I'm a mellow mechanic. Many are drunks and people haters over time. Can be a nasty job, but I work by myself so it's better for me.

  • @scottykilmer

    NO, you're the second guy to make that mistake. All modern front wheel drive bearings come already packed with special grease and are ready for installation right out of the box. If you put more grease in, it would probably be the wrong kind and mess things up, on top of being too much grease and leaking all over the place. Scotty Kilmer

    Yes, that's the Cave Man way of changing out bearings, nothing wrong with that. I used to do that when I was a kid with no money. Scotty Kilmer

    Hello Scotty.. you're one of the best out there, really. You make 3 or 4-minute videos when others would take half an hour. One thing though. How would you replace a whole Hub, already packed with the bearings inside, in that same car?

    I will try it myself and hope for the best. Doing a 2011 Ford Fusion cause Scotty said they were great cars so....I went and bought one last week, but the front wheel bearings on both sides are loud and get crazy hot so I guess they need done. Doesn't look to difficult. Thanks Scotty

    My hats off to Scotty cause he has to assume most do It yourselfers will have only basic tools.He knows lotsa ways to skin a cat so its up to you to improvise. If you have these pressed in bearings here's another low $ way: 1. Get bearing @ Advance Auto & ask for FREE slide hammer kit to slap out hub & front end kit to pop bjoint & pull race off hub.
    2. $80 ($40 sale) Harbor Freight universal FWD Wheel bearing adapter kit. Gets it done fast & safe + u end up with a useful tool.

    Tis true. But on this old junker corolla all the boots were all torn out to begin with, so I just used the fork as I was replacing them all anyway. Scotty Kilmer

    @1999jase You don't need a spring compressor to replace a wheel bearing, only if you are changing the strut out also. Scotty Kilmer

  • @mountaintruth1
    @mountaintruth1 10 лет назад

    I have done the races with a good drift punch and appropriate sockets or bushings, never had a problem. been turnin a wrench 40 years, but nowadays we do need special tools for a lot of things, I usually just fabricate/weld tools or jigs that are very expensive otherwise.

    @scottykilmer Thanks for the help Scotty, I removed the whole axle assembly and took it to Napa to have a new bearing pressed into it. The whole job took me 90 minutes to disassemble and reassemble the assemby onto the car. The hardest thing was the removal of the hub nut. You're awesome!

  • @steveingalls6798
    @steveingalls6798 2 года назад

    If the old hub is frozen in the knuckle take a BFH & drive out 2 of the old wheel studs. Full length wheel studs DO have clearance to be removed from the hub with the knuckle if you try to turn them to the 9 o'clock position. Remove the 3ea 10mm bolts & the dust shield. Also remove the 32mm axle nut securing the drive shaft to the hub. Next make sure the driveshaft splines are semi-loose in the center of the hub. Buy 2ea 4" X 1/2" hex bolts (full thread). Stick them through the 2 lug nut stud holes placing 2ea 1/2" hex nuts on the back side of the hub. After removing the 32mm axle nut, screw the 2ea 1/2" bolts in pressing the tips of the bolts against the steering knuckle (NOT THE EDGE OF THE WHEEL HUB). This should serve to "press" out the old hub from the steering knuckle.
    The long bolt & nut method along with a BFH worked on my Indiana driven 09' T & C with 130k on the clock.

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  13 лет назад

    @notmycupotea Yes, struts need compressing IF you replace them, but I wasn't doing that so I didn't use one here. As for the boot, yes, I replaced this one anyway as it was worn. If I use em over, I use a different tool, a small tie rod press off tool. Scotty
