Amazing video. Followed it to a T and had no issues. The axle nut isn’t a 32 mm socket, I got a 36 mm and that did the trick (2008 Jeep Liberty Sport) Thank you sooo much for making this video!!!🤘🏻

Very insightful video, thanks for sharing it. I do wonder though what I observed was you used air wrench to bottom out bolts several times and then used torque wrench to tighten to spec. I sure seems like every time the torque wrench was clicking right away, were you perhaps over-torquing with the air wrench?
the whole front hub and bearing assembly is probably the best idea , as otherwise there is a chance the mechanic will wreck your new bearing when pressing or drifting :(without brass :( ) it in. + I'd guess there is no u.s. made bearings anymore, more reason for the new one to fail 'going in', though the grind /fail may not happen for 6 mos etc.
Thanks for the vidio. this is great!. i wish i had seen this b4 i started. I've bookmarked your website for future puchases. I like that u sell stuff in sets.
thanks for the very practical level but I have a doubt in a jeep liberty with rear wheel drive not 4x4 is it the same procedure or do you have a similar video? thank you and excuse my english
2011 dodge nitro sxt 3.7 (JEEP LIBERTY NOCK OFF) is this the same proses I should do to replace my wheel bearing & hub assembly? I’ve got some vibrations in my steering wheel after this winter storm and am thinking the wheel bearing is going out after 4x4 around. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Yeah, I have the 2011 Liberty; I am replacing the wheel hub and bearing for a second time (at 60,000 and now 110,000 miles) - pretty common with these units when off-roading regularly. I would also recommend swapping out the rotors at the same time (especially if vibration increases when braking).
Hey I just did my 08 Liberty 2 wheel drive (you do not have the axle nuts on a 2wd by the way) but I am getting the traction control light and another light I cant remember but I think its for a steering sensor. I did both front wheels and the ty rod ends and front rotors.. Would I get this light from needing an alignment? It drives pretty smooth
Excellent video. One thing tho.. use the copper anti seize on everything... they don't use it from the factory because it messes with the robots and is messy.They use wax. Thats why things rust together nowadays.
Could you make a video covering the replacement of the pilot bearing? 🙏🏻 I have an 08 Liberty 4wd manual trans that at least needs the pilot bearing replaced. Or even if you could just point me in the direction of a service manual that’s actually helpful I would be appreciative. Thanks for the great videos you make. The way you demonstrate and explain things I could literally build a spaceship in my back yard if you had a video on it. Have a good one!
*** Don't do this...He cross threaded the tie rod nut... 8:56 notice the thread sticking out when he done. Always make sure to thread the nut on by hand, more then he did. You can see the nut bound up right away when he did it.
Nice work but I would say you went above and beyond and did a little bit more than you really needed to. You didn't need to take off the tie rod end. and you also did not need to take off the upper ball joint to be able to get the bolts in the new one.
@@jeffd.8917 omg jeff d. thank u so much for posting your experience. my jeep liberty is kicking my ass rn and i thought maybe it was just me doing sumthin wrong. i will probably remove steering knuckle too and beat on it with bigger hammer and vise and air tools and press and whatever. once the bearing assembly is out, i might even waller out the hole that it sits in. (waller: to enlarge. very technical term used only by master mechanics. NOT "automotive technicians") i live in mn. get salt on the roads in winter. i bought a slider hammer just for this task and it is uselsess.
I’m guessing it was because the nut was so rusty he had to drop a few sizes and then he hammered the socket on. When working on rusty vehicles this becomes common practice .

Who ever filmed and edited this video is amazing. The tech makes it look easy, but the editing makes it clean and easy to watch. Great job!

Excellent mechanic!
My 2009 Liberty Sport had 36mm axle nut. 35mm is also on some Liberty built at different times.
It's a great video but because of limited equipment I probably wouldn't tackle this job. But your instructions and video were perfect.
Thanks for the video and telling us the actual torque specifications because I couldn't find

Hi, I'm replacing mine soon, is this the same part for the rear drive only KK? with ABS

Awesome. Thanks for this.
Woah, simple head on tutor. Going to follow this tomorrow 👍👍👍
+gandalfwhite60 Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
What is the name of the tool you pressed the axle in with? Is that an air hammer? If so, what type of tip is being used to not damage the axle?

very informative. Thanks
How do you change broken front wheel studs on this 2008-12 liberty?
Thanks broski
Execelente video desde venezuela
+arturo gonzalez Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
Can you tell me how I can remove the front abs sensor, thank you
Is this the same as a jeep compass?

I just purchased a 32 mm nut. It is not 32 mm for mine and I just lost a day of work 😕
Would this be the same for a 09 nitro?
Do all Jeep libertys have front axles like that? My Jeep doesn’t
I believe yours is 2 wheel drive
what are the stock bolt length for the 1/2in-20 bolts?
32mm for the axle nut you sure ????
Nope! Def 36 mm and now my tire and caliper are disconnected hmmm how do I get to store
It takes a 35mm axle nut socket NOT a 32mm.
dodge nitro takes 36 mm
Was wondering why my 32mm didn't work for my '10 Liberty Limited
mine is a 35mm. i've read that a 36 will work for a 35. if u have a 36 layin around try that. if u have to buy one anyway then get the 35.
I’m guessing it was because the nut was so rusty he had to drop a few sizes and then he hammered the socket on. When working on rusty vehicles this becomes common practice .
30 ft-lbs for upper ball joint?!
I was freaking out until I realized the reason I didn't have an axle up front is because it's only 2 wheel drive. Christ
You don’t need to take the upper ball joint loose from the knuckle. Waste of time.

No. They’re vicious. One may have seen this comment. Be careful.
Thats not a jeep thats for sure,it looks a ford f150 to me !
