      Good video and advice apart from one thing. With grease, the more the merrier is incorrect. I was informed years ago by a bearing manufacturer that over greasing was the most common reason for premature failure as it can lead to localised overheating.
      Other than that, good, to the point video.

      @@idonotwantahandle2 I've also heard this from professional mechanics. The extra grease has nowhere to go and thus create unnecessary pressure and churning which could damage the seals. At some point the grease could prevent smooth rolling. I could not believe it at first but I checked out some old bearings and yes some of them are full of grease but the bearing is stuck or hardly rolls.

  • @spelunkerd
    @spelunkerd 4 года назад +13

    Really well done, I paused and replayed this one a few times. We don't see this kind of detail with sealed bearings, it was eye opening to see how these old style open bearings come apart. Good point about no grease on the outside of the races during installation. Although it might be tempting to use antiseize, you don't want that getting into the bearing surfaces. I understand your point, they are better left dry, they are supposed to seize a little on each side. I've heard remarks about taking care around speed sensors, when would you try to take the sensor out before doing the bearing?

    • @EasyFixShaun
      @EasyFixShaun  4 года назад +12

      Thanks! I really appreciate that. The speed sensor should always be removed before repair. The particular Subaru I was working on had a very short sensor that didn’t protrude enough to need removal. But if the sensor is there it’s always best to remove if you can to avoid damage while working in and around that hub area. I’m glad you like the detail of the video! A lot of effort went into making that video. It’s a hard video to capture and also a difficult job compared to a bolt in bearing. Totally doable. But with both videoing and working it was a lot or organization. Thanks for checking that one out! 😀

    Very well presented and some top quality tips! I'm a novice mechanic and seeing someone do it differently is always good for opening the mind of other ways to do things. With these Subaru bearings I usually just pull the whole hub and slap it in the press, I can do both sides in 2hrs quite comfortably without rushing, I wonder how fast you smash it out this way? I feel like the press method is much simpler/easier assuming you have the tools on hand. We don't have to worry about rust where I live so that probably makes things much easier if you wanna remove multiple arms etc.

    • @EasyFixShaun
      @EasyFixShaun  Год назад +2

      The tool works really fast for me. With no rust I could beat a traditional press time easily. Plus if the the cv axle can be removed with out removing any steering or suspension adjustment bolts, an alignment may not be needed. If the knuckle is removed an alignment is needed afterwards. I prefer the on car tool. I don't think I have used a traditional press for a wheel bearing replacement in at least a decade. The only exception that comes to mind would be like a Toyota Tundra front or rear wheel bearing at times. Especially the rear. There are always exceptions to the rule. I would say the on car press does 99% of press in bearings out there though. Super valuable tool to have and try. Make sure you get a kit with a fine thread bolt if you are going to use it a lot. Those last a decade or so vs corse thread 😃🔧

    this "way of doing it" works most of the time and is great for "driveway mechanics". Been a tech four decades, for the past three and half decades I have ALWAYS used a press (as an apprentice the shop I worked in had a setup similar to this tool). I have repaired SOOO many bearings that were just done using this tool, all because the bearing was NOT seated 100%. Then there is the stubborn wheel bearings. I have a 40 ton press and have seen some wheel bearings take all 40 tons to unseat... and yes it makes one hell of a BANG when they let go. This is not a criticism, just an FYI moment. Great job on the vid

    • @EasyFixShaun
      @EasyFixShaun  Год назад +1

      Thanks for the tip! I have had no seating issues so far on all vehicle bearings with the tool including larger bearings like Toyota trucks. The clamping pressure of the tool is significant. The 3/4" bolt and torque of the fastener could be calculated, it would be pretty high. The feel of the bolt pressing in the bearing is very similar to a press. When the bearing stops- IT STOPS. Generally speaking interference parts like wheel bearings can be handled with a tool like this no problem. I was skeptical at first also. The press and this tool both press bearings together and are both useful. It is user preference. As far as bearings coming back for another repair, I only see that with mid grade and cheap bearings. High quality bearings have never been an issue for me 😃🔧

      I've had a couple vehicles where bolts were seized into sleeves and removing the knuckle from the vehicle would incur extra expense that the customer wasn't ready for i.e. rear knuckle of an '08 Escape comes to mind. Several linkages that meant torch time and melting bushings. This type of on-vehicle press makes my life easier and saves the customer money. Agreed that there are some that require full shop press force and there's no avoiding the expense that's coming.

      Great Question. If you are comfortable with repairs it is very doable. I haven't used this on car press in 10+ years except for some specialized rear Toyota truck bearings. Even those can be done without a press using some creativity. I love the on car press tool. If you can get the cv axle out, the tool will work. And if you can remove the axle with touching any alignment changing fasteners, no alignment changes will happen from getting the shaft out or back in 😃

    I purchased a fwd wheel bearing installer/removal tool just like yours along with a Harbor Freight/Pittsburgh Steel 20 ton press. I swear by that cup & disk set for all press in bearings! The biggest thing with all forcing screw type of tools is, Lubricate the forcing screw! Clean the inner race & all mating surfaces to clean shiny metal & use brake clean then grease or antiseize before bearing installation.

Then install.your wheel as you would. I like a dab of anti sieze on the spacer studs to make removal easier.

      There was a lot of change over around the 03-06 model years on brake and bearing parts. I have been burned on parts like you also. Happens sometimes in the parts catalogs and it sucks. If you have the press in bearings this should be the video you need. Its a weird concept, once you do them a few times it is easy to understand. That is why there are not a lot of great videos on it. I tried hard to include as much information as I could so you could grasp concepts in the video. I also tried to give optional ideas of how some of the process could be done so that you could get a better idea. It may have made the video to complex. But, I wanted to show concepts of how press in bearings work and there is no absolute way to do them so that you can work through whatever small design differences you may have on your particular make year and model. Press in bearings are all basically the same. 😃🔧🔧 I have a second video on press in bearings (press in 1.0) also that could be helpful.

      Thanks! I glad I was able to help it make sense. Its is very weird at first, but after a few tries it starts to make sense 😃

    You aren’t only a mechanic but also an engineer. The way you explain mate is really amazing and easy to do it by own.

    Currently doing the left rear wheel bearing on a 2001 Jaguar XJR. Prior owner (or owner's mechanic) didn't tighten the axle nut anywhere near the requisite torque spec and as a result it's been slowly working its way out as I've been driving it.
    Hub fought me a bit but it popped out after a bit of pressure from the puller and taps with a hammer on the rim. Bearing basically fell out once the hub was out, only things that are still in there are the inner and outer races. Going to see if the parts store has the bearing kit back in stock yet and hope it has a disc the right size to pull my races out.
