#2MinQuickTip #BearingRaceRemoval #Xcut
Seriously. Life. Savor. I mean.. Thank you so much. 2009 F150, wheel bearing failure.. Whining grinding the whole enchilada. Last time we replaced the bearing...... It was A NIGHTMARE !!!!!! Due to the fact it was stuck and we didn't have a puller.. Luckily we found a friend who let us borrow one.. He lived an hour away from us and our vehicle was the one being worked on. Needless to say it was tricky getting to him. Fast forward to now.. And what do ya know?? The left front wheel bearing is going out now...
Outstanding.
Soooo completely fearing the worst.. I came to RUclips university to refresh my memory on how we did this last year.. And guess what! I FOUND YOUR VIDEO AND IT FREAKEN SAVED US SOOOO MUCH TIME!!!!!!
SO I just wanted to say.. Thank you so much.. YOU rock!!!
Please continue to share your knowledge with the world.. It helps so many people. Thank you for your time
I did this on my e36 318i rear bearing a few years ago. Let me tell you, this method totally works! No need for special tools.
i used a dremel tool to cut a slice in the race and it came off easily. been doing this for 30 years. good tip.
You're a hero. I was struggling with a chisel and all sorts of other methods for hours. Quick X cut and it popped right off.
Thanks for the comment, delighted it was able to help you out too 🙏👍.
It saves me on a regular basis 😜
Yupp I cut the X and used a straight 2lbs hammer and brute force did it I questioned this completely
Thanks for this valuable tip! I followed your technique and was able to remove the stuck rear bearing. Your video saved me the hassle (and cash!) of having to bring the trailer to a pro shop. --a friend in Idaho.
Thanks for sharing Tom,
It very rewarding to hear the different locations around the world and the tips that have helped 🙏🙌
I appreciate you taking the time to comment ❤️
Thanks. This process was fast and easy to remove races from Mazda RX8 hubs.
Thanks man just took off a rear wheel hub and bearing on a 2006 Volkswagen Jetta TDI MK5 this got stuck on I almost just bought a very expensive puller luckily I had a angle grinder and I was able to cut it off thank you my friend
That's great Damien, delighted this tip was able to help you out 💪
Bro happen to the front wheel bearing on my 2015 encore. Soon to be k20 swapped.
Great tip!! I only wish I’d found your channel yesterday. It would have saved me from having to buy a bearing separator.
Did this with a dremal and .5" cutting blade. Worked like a charm and was quick and easy. Thank you!!
Delighted it worked for you 💪💪🎉🎉
Thanks for sharing
I do this myself , great tip , keep them coming
🙏👌👍
Good job Gerard.
I haven't heard of cutting an X before, but heaps of other methods. I'll have to give it a try next time.
Cheers 😁
Cheers Max, Thanks for watching :)
Thanks. My daughter has always called me Mr fix It and I've got plenty of room in my bag for a nice tricks like this look forward to other clever ideas that you have thank you
Thank you Keith, I hope you find many other tips on my channel that are useful to you.
Being doing it that way for years, keep the videos coming Ger👌💥
🙏🙏❤️❤️👌
Worked perfect for me. once it was cracked it slid right off. minor nick that polished out with 2,000 grit. Thanks again for sharing and making the video. Keep up the good work.
Great to hear! Thanks Keith ;)
Thank you sir, I'll be applying this method to remove the inner bearing race from the input bearing shaft for my transmission, greatly appreciated 🙏
🙏🙏👍👍
seen heaps of guys do that it works well, x marks the spot
🙏👍💪
Had my inner wheel bearing race stuck on the seal cover from my dirt bike. I was attempting to cut vertically, didn't think of doing it diagonally. Thanks for helping me out!
Nice one Tyson 👏👌
Worked like a charm! Thanks Gerard!
Thanks Jeff, I appreciate the feedback. Delighted it worked for you 🙏🙏
Too easy. Great tip. Thanks
Great info! Used it on an inner race stuck on a bike rear axle. I used a Dremel and a fibre cut off wheel
Popped right off. Didn't even have to get close 👍
Another way to remove the inner bearing ring with risking damaging the hub, is to heat the ring with a propane torch, it will expand and fall off or slide off easily.
Done with 20 seconds to spare-nice job!
Thanks
I appreciate short and to the point, thanks
Thank you
Worked great . Cracked on second hit . No damage done to hub.
Well done Cary, great stuff 💪
Thanks for sharing 👌🙏
Worked a treat. Thanks.
Thanks Liam, delighted to hear it helped ya out.
Used this method. Worked like a charm. Cheers mate. Thank you
Cheers Dave, works everytime mate.
Thanks so much for the tip saved me money and headache lol 🙌🙌🙌
Lmfao I spend 3 hours on the rear passenger and 3 mins on the drivers rear. Thank you man
No problem Hayden 👍
You just saved me so much time, great tip thank you
Fantastic 👌👍😊
bro thank you. you saved me
Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge 😊 This has immediately worked, the bearing didn't crack, but I could use the X to chisel the bearing out in a couple of hits
Brilliant 🙏🙏👌👌
Shure tis a great tip as long as yur handy with the cut off wheel. After a night out on baile mor, the safety of the operator cannot be guaranteed. A sober warning should accompany this video as shaky lamha could spell disaster. Dhia is Muire dhuit agus slan leat o Eire go brea.

True story Tom 😆
Awesome advice works like a charm…. Thank you
🙏🙏👌👌💪💪
This worked for me on a big Ole bearing on a GLOBAL STREET SWEEPER....thanks for the help mate
🙏🙏👌👌💪💪
Always use this Gerard works every time .
Spot on Ian 😎👌👍
Great tip Gerard, will for sure try that out the next time, Thankyou:):)
🙏🙏 Cheers Pat 👏
Easier said than done.
I have one stuck after removing the AC/Clutch pulley from my truck. Incredibly little room to work.
Thanks very much - I'm taking my hub / knuckle to work tomorrow to separate, and I forgot about the possibility (OK certainty) that the inner race will be fused to hub.
Thanks Norm
@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage I cut an X into the race, but couldn't get it crack with a chisel. I found a bearing puller at work and pulled it off ... what a headache. I'll probably still do it again to save the $100 on a new hub. lol
X marks the spot, I’ll try it on a 2000 Beetle, liked and subscribed, thanks Dave!
Thanks Dave
@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage I used your idea, it worked, thanks!
@@davekana8388 great to hear 💪💪
@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage still have my other one to do, you saved me, thanks again for sharing!👍👍
That worked great. Why even mess with the puller.😊
My hero! Thank you.
Been doing that for many years (30 ish), cut a slot, smack a chisel in to split it and it comes off easily.
Absolutely brilliant thank you very much
Thank you
Legend thanks!!
Thanks for the tip
Thanks for watching 🙏🙏
didint have a chisel on hand so i just drilled in to the x with a small bit and it cracked and slid right off!
Any advice for removing the outer race?
If it's the outer race that's stuck inside a housing, you hafta shrink it, & the trick is to run a bead of weld inside the race itself. When it cools it shrinks the race.
Great! Nice tip!
🙏🙏👌👌
Wooo grate idea😘😀
Thanks Harmeet
I work just like that about 25 years
Nice one Alen 😎👌
Just be careful doing this as the hardened chisel and bearing can shatter sending small bits of bearing/ chisel off at height speed, I’ve personally had them go into my wrist and had to use a strong magnet to pull it out
Yes great point, safety in these situations is very important, I'll often put up a shield right in front of where I am chiseling, as I am in a workshop I have other staff to protect as well.
I use the wing protectors on top of a transmission jack a few inches away from where I am hitting, works really well for complete protection.
Wearing the required PPE goes with all work and never worth taking any risk.
Nothing worse than a RUclips safety man
Same here. I've always worn eye protection, but once had a shard of bearing shoot straight into my arm very deep. I always cover the chisel tip with a heavy material now.
When I was a kid, I struck two hammer heads together and a piece of it lodged in my face where the eye socket begins.
What is purpose of X cut over a single diagonal cut?
Just a genuine question. why grind an ‘x’ instead of just a ‘/‘? thank you
Phew! Head scratching and an hour of wasted time over! 👍👍
Me too, works great!
My bearing ruptured. And I have broken my slide tool and the bearing puller, trying to get it out. I have been doing this over 20 days.
My bearing is inside the axle on a 1993 Chevrolet pu
I used a hammer and kept striking behind it all around till it was released. What worries me is when I put the new hub on with the new bearings will it be difficult to install as it was to remove? Why did it get so tight?
That inner bearing Race stuck ___ Truth It's Absolutely 1 00% _ Not stuck IN THE HUB
Excellent tip! Any tips on how to remove a ball joint from a front hub of a VW T4? When those splines hold it seems impossible to separate them...
Thanks Ronan, nothing that springs to mind other than the very common used methods.
never tried that X . chisel to bearing is very dangerous for part of the cup breaking off of it and projet flying part to you and other worker.so i stop doing that metod.thanks for sharing
It certainly has to be used with caution, knowing what is around you at all times whilst using correct PPE is essential, be it at home or in a busy workshop.
Thanks for the comment Dan
I've done this but not when the bearing is flush against a hub.
Can anybody please tell me what happens if you go too far and take a reasonable chunk out of the hub? My friend just used a oxy acetylene torch and burnt it in too much. He assures me it will be ok but im really nervous and seriously seriously pissed off. Id of just used a dremel here like the method stated.
Do I need a new inner hub??
Is it ok?
Is it only friction that holds these in the bearing so it could come loose? Help please 🙏
Man just get a new hub, and save all the trouble.
I didn’t think that would work. Cut an X use a 2/4lbs hammer and brute force no chisel necessary
Why a X as opposed to a single cut?
The X cut creates an area that can also break away if it doesn't crack the bearing race, less surface area means it will move away easier, a secondary benefit of the X cut is it can be struck with the chisel in both directions if required.
I used the single cut for a while but after trying this method I found it came off quicker so I never went back.
Thanks for watching James
Thanks
I thought this "trick" is common. i can recommend another method. weld the hell out of the bearing. make it glow. it should expand
And for the outer race a bead of weld then cool with wet rag to cause shrinkage, but wear gloves for the steam and wear eye protection. For the inner race protect the hub/stub axle from welding splatter with a couple of layers of heavy duty tin foil.
Great idea but for someone that don't have cutting tools or access to any..
You won't get it off then.
When they are stuck on the hub you will need more than just a hammer and chisel.
High heat is another method but even less people has access to that than a grinder.
The use of special tools is very common to slide in behind and press out but again they can't grab them all and the tooling is even more involved.
This is the best method that I know of. Thanks for watching 👍
@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage I ended up buying a Dremel tool and used the cutting wheels to get it out! Took a some patience and 2 of the wheels broke, but I got it to the point where hitting it with a punch broke the race!
one slash. no x. Chisel. and a bit of the mechanic in a can
plus the bearing seperator in the end
I was hoping to see this video more useful but no all you said was cut the bearing in which I don't want to do ugh 😑
Sometimes the new hub and bearing come together as one piece...
The tip is not about hub and bearing complete type, this is the quickest method I have used in getting all of these off, be it at home or in the workshop I always have access to a grinder to use.
Most DIY users will have some sort of grinder they can apply this method using 👍👌
Xaddy af
it’s not working 😔
Can't you just use a hydraulic device somehow?
Unfortunately not easily no,
I thought this vid said "no special tools"?
Yes because getting a proper tool from ebay for $25 is too much work
I thought about cutting it too but what I need to know is how to do it without a puller and without having a cutoff wheel I don't have any options otherwise. I can't afford to buy a cutoff wheel and machine. Any help would be wonderful please ❤🫤🖖
