GM - Front Wheel Bearing / Hub Assembly
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Come along with Eric O. at the SMA shop as he goes through the procedure of changing a front hub assembly on a 2005 Buick Lacrosse. This vehicle has an ABS speed sensor built into the hub but some however do not. This is a pretty standard procedure for many makes and models of GM vehicles.

I figured it out why this channel is RUclips gold. eric O makes it feel like your in the shop with him not watching some TV production. he doesn't make it something it's not or try to over do it.
keep it up
You hit the nail on the head. I mentioned that when he first started the channel and he continues to make you feel like your there, not just watching but a part of his day too.
It is almost like the viewer is his apprentice. Neat.
Very true. You feel welcomed here.
I thought it was for the colorful metaphoric sayings!! Giving the ole classic reach around! Well, there your problem right there, lady! And the ever classic, ONE TWO BAR BE QUE!!!
Eric does have some killer one liners!
The one good thing that stands out of his videos in no dirty language so I can show these to my son
Every morning I wake up and there's a new SMA video. This is so much better to watch before work than the news.
Your grandma sure was a smart lady. Taught you all kinds of little tricks.
I never get tired of wheel bearing videos.
"Start your day with SMA". It's the new morning show at my house. Thanks for all you do Eric.
You're treating us too good putting out a video it seems everyday. Keep the videos coming.
Free tip Tuesday. I had to rewind and make sure I heard you correctly. Placing the wide vise grips on the hub, " show you a trick I learned from my GRANDMOTHER." That is funny.
I told one of our customers that if i can repair it ,you can repair it. His car was towed in a week later after he repaired it , and told me , you repair it from now on . He put the brake pads on backwards. lol
He did repair it. Just the wrong way is all..
@butchtropic nope. You can do it backwards. Put metal side against the rotor instead. Actually saw it on the Scotty Kilmer channel, he also had DIYer so it...
@butchtropic not all of them have the metal tabs
🤣😆😆
I think Scotty did that all on his own.
Safety glasses? Ear protection? Is this really an SMA video? At least Mrs. O was wearing flip flops in the shop. Seriously, thanks for another great video, Eric. I never get tired of watching this channel.
I know. What happened to the safety squints!? I laugh so hard every time he says safety squints.
'Safety squints' and 'Safety Third'. It's a pick 'em for the favorite one.
Joe Coleman gab
Once again Eric, you knocking them outta the park
Unit bearings make so much more sense than press in bearings.
@Edward Martinez Oh yeah, tapered roller bearings are pretty nice. And they are cheap if you do kill one!
The original GM bearings last a good many years but most of the new replacements only last a year or two !!
Wow much respect to you Mr O, 5am.. We feel blessed to have SMA. Great work like always.
Is that Scotty Kilmer in the back with a chainsaw? Hahaha
I'm pretty sure Eric O could do a video on watching grass grow and it would be a hit. Another good video. Thank you sir.
Today I helped out my struggling coworker break apart a pallet with Big Nasty. It was the most satisfying part of my day. I'm learning well!
Yes this video is helpful all you little piece of information plus grandmother tip with the Vice grips
Just got an Astro Nano for my (barely) semi-pro home-gamer shop. Think I'll put 'Eric O from South Main Auto' in the 'How did you hear about us?' part of the warranty registration.
i have watched a lot of videos on youtube about break jobs and wheel hub jobs Eric. You are the first I’ve heard say something about properly torquing down the wheel because it could cause a warped rotor and brake pulsation.
Given that i have had that problem with my brakes twice, now I finally understand why! I never torque down the wheel evenly! I would have replaced the brakes and rotors again and have not been any wiser!!
I learn something new with every video Eric! You’re the best You tube mechanic in my opinion!! Keep up the great work!
I love it when Eric gives me the tip on Friday!
wow been a real treat all this week with 1 per day, TNX Eric'O
I've always for a kick out of your banter back and forth with that lady in the shop. reminds me of myself.
"Where's my hose at!?" LOL! Your subtle humor is always appreciated as much as your mechanical content, Eric.
Eric thanks, another real deal no nonsense auto repair.
Erick O, I know that butt pucker feeling all to well, First time I took My 1973 Chevy Nova SS with an LT1 modified V8 with 775 HP to have it's brakes done by someone else besides me for the first time and they did not pump up the brakes and set them. I went to pick it up and had no brakes or peddle and had to use the E-brake , gave the shop and the guy that worked on it an Ear full and the smart ass mechanic a fist in the mouth. People lesson to Eric , Ivan and Keith they are the best on the internet, Unlike some so call professional mechanics, Eric , Ivan and Keith know what they are talking about. PS: love the Vid's Eric have been watching you for about 3 years now and love everything you do, Keep up the good work Brother, From a former NHRA and AHRA winter nationals racer and mechanic, My best time down the 1/4 mile track was a 8.200 at 179 MPH here in Tucson, Az. PSS : NO rust here just light corrosion lol :)
Mr. O, I prefer your videos over ERIC THE CAR GUY any day! You seem to keep the attention span much better, and are a very good teacher at that. Keep up the great work, and teaching.
Free tip Friday on a Tuesday. But posted on a Friday and watching on Friday. Great job Eric.
What a coincidence. I just purchased a front wheel bearing for my Impala. Will be installing it with ease thanks to your video. Thanks Eric! Installed the right front today. There wasn't the need for the life hack, plenty of room to get around the axle.
Free Tip Friday, but on a Tuesday, published on a Friday. Got it!
The Astro 4980 " Big Nasty" is a huge member of the SMA team took out that Hub Assembly like a walk in the park. Amazing Air Hammer.
"I can smell the corrosion", that is one of the funniest things i have heard anyone say :)
Who dislikes these videos? These videos make my day when I get to watch a new one!
I did the same R&R on a friends slightly older Lacrosse about 2 years ago. No drama on getting the bearing out, which is good because all I have was a cold chisel and a ball peen hammer. The plastic coating on the part of the bearing where it mated with the knuckle did its job !
I'm loving the fact that there has been so many new videos in the last week. I'm hoping you have a ton more coming in like 3 weeks as i will be recovering from surgery to help correct my bowel issues and i'm going to bored out of my mind! Especially since i will be away from working on cars for like 2 months, lol.
Watching this video made it much easier to change both front bearings on my 2005 buick lacrosse cxl. Your very right about rust on NY vehicles. I live in Bath NY.
'Prydriver'....love the small town lingo. I'm expanding my vocabulary one video at a time LOL!
I have got to say you are my favourite RUclips channel, Eric O you are the man. Such a good mix of jobs and humour, love the brake clean and big nasty too! A big thumbs up from me in the UK, it also gives us a chance to see some different cars and trucks etc. Thank you. Keep up the good work!!
Eric man thank you. Your a cool dude. Thank you for blessing us all bro with your time and your skills
I hope one day to stop by and shake your hand and say thank you
LoL , "toot of the ole fluid film" get's me every time. That vise grip life hack is gonna come in handy, thanks!
Awesome, Getting spoiled with the daily videos. Thanks for answering the torque stick question.
I know this is a very late comment in the game here, but I made a wicked nice caliper hanger out of a long, heavy duty pegboard hanger. I put it in a vice, snapped off the fingers in the back (the ones that go into the actual pegboard), and bent the rod. Been using it for years.
enjoy your videos. . Been turning wrenches since 4 take the chrome off my sister's try cycles and putting on mine. still a mechanic will work on anything but sailboats. . learned. some short cut. . very good to know. . I'm 55 now and have a 15 year old boy we are doing a frame off on a 1990 chevy 1500 4 wheel drive step side. . Going to show him some of you videos. . that aplys thanks MEL
Really clean for a northern car I’m from the south Sooo I only see rust on this channel everything comes off a lot easier in the south
22:07 'Each and every day that we roll out a video'
That's the first time i've heard you say that, but certainly is true of late!
Right! I have no idea where Eric O finds the time to roll out such quality videos on such a regular basis. He must just never sleep
They finally got high speed internet in his area! He can upload a video in one fourth the time it took him to upload in morse code and smoke signals!
Thank you Internet gods!
Eric, I don't remember when I subscribed I just know it was 10s of thousands of subscribers ago. I see you're approaching 80k now and you deserve it buddy. I hope you hit the million mark soon you deserve it. Take care.
"Here's an 'ol tip my Grandma taught me" she must be a great mechanic
Long time listener, first time caller.
Thanks! Really appreciate the informative video.
I have to do this on my impala and its the same setup.
Always great content!
Thanks Man!
eric- love the life hack pushing back the half shaft- good vid
FTF Free tip Friday!
We did the front brakes on my brother's car once and didn't pump the breaks when were done. He had himself a butt pucker moment when he almost backed into the neighbour's fence. He said he had never pumped the break peddle that fast before...lol. True story!
Just ordered the Astro die grinder from Amazon, so pretty much everything in Mr O's shop can be found in my garage. This channel by far has cost me more money. 😂😎
I'm getting big nasty next month. I know Imma tear some $hit up with it 😱
"Whale the piss outta this thing", "She gotta lot of snot", "Butt pukka"........Mr O, you certainly have a way with the Queens English 😂👍
I think his version of ynglish is part of why I tune in :)
Otta watch AvE and listen to him. lol
Ahhh!! He only talks dirty like that when Mrs O. ain't around!!
One Auto, my personal favorite is give her the beans...
I don't think he ever said a bad word on video?
I've been watching 5 or 6 SMA videos every night for the last few weeks and I think this is the first time I've see you wearing nitrile gloves. In fact, I was going to post how the heck do you stay so clean- I go to replace brake pads which takes all of 30 mins but my clothes, hands and arms get covered in grime.
reminds me of the old days
I just watched this video and noticed you had nearly 80k subscribers,congrats on that. I subscribed to your channel when you had just 300 or so subscribers. I find your channel still interesting and informative as day one. It was a pleasure to meet you last year at ETCG meet and greet. Thanks again ...
Addictive channel Eric O ,..........Kudos!!!!
I love these they wear out all the time and are an easy change. (in Kansas)
"WHERE'S MY HOSE AT!!" 😂😂😂👌
For 6 months I have been watching Eric,. and it wasn't until now that I discovered he is saying "Welcome to South Main..." and not "Welcome to self made ...." Gotta get them ears tuned up!
Nice tip using the vice grip !
Thanks Eric O for the informational video. I enjoyed it. Please keep them coming.
I see Mrs. O has got her steel toe sandals for the shop!
13mm 3/8 drive swivel on bearing bolts and a wire wheel on a angle to clean out hub works perfect for me. Never used torque sticks, Too many variables. Love your vids.,
Love the vid of the day lately. Seeing someone not have nightmares all day gives me hope before I hop in the shower & go to all the nightmares some one tows in. Hey Eric have you seen triangle diagnostic channel yet ? His vids are a little drawn out but his"care" & attention to detail comes close to mine/yours.
I really like the GM hub/wheel bearing design. It's great for DIY'ers with limited tools and most auto parts stores will rent a slide hammer for $0.00 dollar.
BTW you have really been spoiling us lately with a new video everyday :-)
80 lbs on the compressor and a nano, the rear leaf springs and front bearing fell off Mrs Business' truck like legos:) Thank goodness for the dust belt. And now I gotta get a long thin forged ratchet and dump my cheezy dremel. Yeah!!!
Slide hammers are nice if you don't have an air hammer. You can get the loaner ones for free at auto zone. Usually the weight from the hammer isn't enough, so I'll put an old brake rotor behind the hammer and use that as some extra oomph.
i'm lovin all the recent repair vids Mr. O.
Like always you make it sample so we can understand and we can fix our trucks and cars thanks again keep it up 🙏🙏
keep them coming eric o. thank you for what you do
If only every repair job was as easy as changing a GM hub assembly.
I trick I've learned, if you have an old no good rotor that fits the bolt pattern, bolt it on backwards and then start pounding with the hammer. It gives you a lot more leverage and surface area to hit!
STUNT MAN AND CAMERA MAN SENT ME!
Front wheel bearing done in 22 minutes and 25 seconds, nice!
there is a tool from sps tools that is used to push the brg from behind making air hammer into a press check it out works well
Ok, thanks for listening, just saw you break out the muffs but not often enough.
Wow Eric, you're on a roll. Another great video! Thanks.
after your shackle video with big nasty I ordered one and it's supposed to show up today can't wait to create some Carnage with it nice video as always
Dale VanDerMeer now, you just have to find a rusty old ford p/u to try it out on!!
Good info about changing a wheel bearing on a GM. Remember to pump up those brakes before a test drive. You don't want a butt pucker on the seat! LOL
icurt06 we have some newbies at work that changed rotors on a Mitsu Eclipse ..they didn't tell the new girl, pulling it out, to do just that..and she backed out of the bay..and wham-o! Right into an employees fender..none the less. There goes our yearly profits
I got distracted just after finishing a brake job on my own car. Came back later for a test drive, and I'm in the habit of not stepping on the brake to start the car, and all of that. Well the first time I had to step on the brake was leaving my driveway which is a nice slope down to a road with 40 mph traffic (really 50 to 60 usually), a lot of it being tractor trailers, and just plain tractors (farm type). I think I made the stop just in time but that was scary enough to never forget to check the brakes after working on them.
what a treat,Eric O on a roll em`videos just flying out.. Thanks and have a nice week end ;)
LOVE THE NEW VIDEO EVERYDAY !!!
It just occurred to me that if I actually wrenched on my vehicles as much as I watch Eric O wrench on stuff, I could get all my projects finished. Just not as much fun.
Boom! Free tip Friday.
I can always depend on an awesome video from sma keep up the good work Mr.O
By the sounds of it , your grandmother was one hell of a micanace man , see knew all the tricks of the triad , lol
Great content. Keep it up!
I tried blaming the other guy when I lost a caliper hook, then I remembered I work alone. 🤣
Gravity, its the law! Nice video
first thing I did when I got them hooks from your Amazon page, paint them a screaming, howling, high-pitch yellow
You make it look easy Eric. Good job.
Love the smart comments
Hahahahaha....great edit at 8:29-8:31 where you go out down to the left and come back in on the right.
Used a local shop once that was recommended to me to change out the wheel bearing on a 2500 GMC pickup. Shxthead cranked on the lug nuts I couldn't get them loose and took it to Discount Tire and they had to get a huge breaker bar out. They were ticked off too. Why do people crank stuff that tight. Jeez. Good video.
OUTSTANDING video as is the norm with you Eric BUT, when are you going to give us the long awaited tool box tour C'mon Eric your killin me. I need to know what Doc O HAS GOING ON IN HIS BOX OF TRIX Take care Eric respect to Mrs O . Haven't seen Trinity for a while has Miss O started school. If I'm right I bet Mrs O is lonely in the office must be tough . Daz UK
When it comes to axle nuts the only torque spec required is the German spec gutentight or a couple zippy zaps with the impact and quarter turn or so with the breaker bar if you're lazy. 😂
Good air tools make this job a breeze.
Great video as always Eric. Just make sure you don't burn out doing so many vids. I'd rather continue to enjoy content for years to come rather than you get burnt out doing and take the hump with it altogether.
Torque Sticks ...I threw mine in the garbage. I was using them for years till a customer with a fancy Cadillac called 2 days after working on her car saying I did not put all the lug nuts on. I told her to stay where she was and went to look. All the lug nuts were loose. I have a very expensive Snap-On impact and a Quincy compressor. I am also 100% sure I tightened them with the torque stick. I have never used them since and threw them out.
Like how you describe some of the tools you use, keep it up. Also learning some of your local garage slang Eric, regards Stewart, Australia
Nice video, as usual. I've had trouble for years getting the hubs off, especially on some trucks (I'm in Michigan). I've had scary good luck using the LTI Tools 830A Hub Shocker.
So true, I've taken that FUN ride with no brakes ! Good times.😬 21:15
Yes, a flapper wheel is my go-to choice for getting the corrosion out of the ID.
I agree with the even torque is better than factory spec torque. I've noticed no one has used a torque wrench at any place I've gotten new tires and I've never had an issue with warped rotors.
