Thanks for the video. I do these just infrequently enough that I forget how to setup the press. Really appreciate the visual aid! Those ABS bolts are usually fun. Glad I am not the only one hogging the enjoyment. Cheers ~Matt & Jes
I'm a relative beginner too. Can't afford to take it to a shop so I've purchased a second hand hub and will replace that which is still a bit daunting but certainly far easier. If the hub isn't good I'll get new bearings pressed into the hub I've removed, and send the second hand hub back for a refund (it has a warranty) or keep it as a spare and use it for the other front wheel with new bearings pressed in to that as well.
Hi Mr Subaru, and how come the wheel speed sensor and the tone ring have air gab is about 1mm. And my abs light comes on after the wheel bearing installed
Didn't realize the knuckle has a lip that keeps the bearing from pushing out. (3:50 of your video). Spent forever staring at it, as all that remained of the bearing was the outer race & the lip appeared to be part of the bearing. Used a smaller bearing adapter & it slide right out. Can't thank you enough!
I'm not a beginner but I'm not a pro either. I was able to do this on my own with a 20 ton press. I think with I could have done the job with the knuckle still attached to the car if I had the right tool. But I agree in that its not an easy job and safety is another huge factor. Anyway, great video! Thanks!
In the shop I use a Hub Shark, it's worth it's cost because you don't even have to remove the knuckle. Some places May rent them out, it's defiently worth checking around for one before you start replacement the old fashioned way.
I'm about to dive into this job to replace the ABS reluctor ring that I broke when replacing a wheel stud. I must say this looks horrible, especially since I don't have a press, but all I need to do is get the hub off. Wish me luck, I think I'll need it.
Must be nice to have all the right tools for the job. Now how do I do it with shade tree mechanic tools or loaner tools from my local auto parts store? Lol Great video though. You showed me what I’m about to get into. I hate pressed bearings about as much as I hate drum brakes.
Never remove the abs sensor on any car with a few yrs age on it, too big a risk because the majority snap. Best to just unplug the sensor connector up on the harness (shop life, live and learn)
yeah wrong way seals, but bearings lasted fine, the head gasket went a few years later as is usual on these, which I knew, so was not going to spend more for oem. plus all the local retailers had were their brand of china. If it was newer car to keep longer would have oem'd
Skyline Fever I’m looking this up because I bought an old awd beater for cheap to use on pizza delivery. I normally kill a car every 6 months and find it’s cheaper to buy another beater and put cheapo parts on it to get it to pass state inspection. All I’m saying is sometimes cheap china parts have a purpose. Cars come to me to die. I spend under $1000 on them, parts included in that, then make money with them on delivery and then they go straight to the crusher to squeeze the last $100 out of them. I’ve been in delivery for over 15 years, you do the math on how many cars I’ve killed. Lol
@@phillpauley6672 I replaced a hub with bearing once that came from China. I had to replace with Japanese hub as the Chinese version was 10 thousands of of round. No more Chinese parts for me!
They lasted just fine, the head gasket went a few years later as is usual on these, which I knew, so was not going to spend more for oem. plus all the local retailers had were their brand of china. If it was newer car to keep long would have oem'd
THOSE SEALS WERE INSTALLED IN OPPOSITE LOCATIONS! The seal installed as the outer seal in the video is the inner seal. And the seal installed as the inner seal was the outer seal. Fix your video guys.

Thanks so much for doing this video. I'm doing my 2001 H6 and it's very helpful.
As a beginner thanks for the video. Good to know to go to a shop

As stated before. Seals were installed in the wrong place.
Thanks for the heads up I'm currently attempting both sides and it's a nightmare Michigan car

the ABS sensor bolt is the only standard bolt on my subaru -- the head on mine snapped off, just like yours, and the only tap i had was a 1/4 20 :-D
nice work
The " oh shit !" got me 😂
Yeah, the ABS sensor bolt head broke off, had to drill it out or extract it if I remember. extra hassle.
Thank you for the video
Just for anyone going through this, the inner wheel seal has the lips and outer does not. In the video they were installed in incorrect locations.
I was going to say something about that.
@@blazetownsend8785 yeah same😂😂😂
Thanks for the heads up
thansk this helped.

100% true I hear you
can anyone tell me how freely the hub spins after a new wheel bearing, I pressed mine in and it seems like there is a fair amount of resistance.
Even I have had issues with those abs sensor and bolts in a non rust belt area in Denver, Co

Thank u
Thanks
That was wayyy too funny "awww shitttt"
Yep, the ABS sensor bolt head broke off, had to drill it out or extract it if I remember. extra hassle.
How do you get the controll arm back on the hub spring compressor?
you just move it around, its all is loose and floats around, easy
Also axle nut should not be tightened with the wheel on and car on the ground, preload will be incorrect and premature failure will result.
just touching enough to not spin is ok, and he said foot on brake I believe, or wedge something in to keep it from moving
Nono..The outer/inner seal is put on reverse. Outer should be flat, inner has a lip.
Wait, a customer paid you to install their wheel bearing incorrectly?
Wrong seal placement, Chinese made bearings... what else can you do wrong?
yeah wrong way seals, but bearings lasted fine, the head gasket went a few years later as is usual on these, which I knew, so was not going to spend more for oem. plus all the local retailers had were their brand of china. If it was newer car to keep longer would have oem'd
What a pain in the butt im currently attempting this on both sides
Made in China? If that bearing isn't from a higher end manufacturer, be prepared for that bearing to be crunchy in one year.
