absolutely love the torque specs given, this is how my dad taught me xD
Lol the mechanic I took my truck to was going to charge me $325 for the hub assembly, and labor was going to be $144 . I did a quick check, and O'Riley had it in stock for $150. So I promptly left, and now I'm here watching your video! Thank you by the way
Edit: they also quoted me $298 for parts to replace the front rotors, and pads...
Nice work avoiding getting ripped off. This is a pretty easy repair. Thanks for watching!
Lmao rip off? funny thing is you don’t run a business so you don’t have to factor in overhead and other expenses. So yes, you can go buy a 150$ hub and put it in yourself. Or you can pay someone to obtain those parts for you and put them in for you.
Furthermore I just did front brakes and rotors myself. Each rotor was like 80 bucks plus 40 for the brake pads. So 200 bucks. So why is 298 such a bad price?
Also, was it an OEM motorcraft hub they quoted? Maybe you should stop trying to rip businesses off lol
$250 hub assembly marked up 30% to $325.
I assume 2 hours of labor to put said assembly in. $144. Sounds about right.
That's because they warrany the part not the labor.
Thank you for the video which is very easy to follow and applied thank you again .
awesome video as usual best mechanic on RUclips
Thanks for watching Joseph!
In the middle of this right now. Subbed your channel!
Thanks, finished within an hour!
thanks for the lesson
Had both rear hubs and bearings replaced and greased on my 2012 Kia Sorento at MTI in Valparaiso Indiana and they charged me 1,223.00.
Great video, Thanks!!
You're welcome!
Good job buddy I'm mechanically inclined just never worked on one of these trucks
Oh for sure, they are pretty easy to work on but always nice to have a video right? Thanks for watching Richard!
Good job tnks
Thank you!
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Well done thx
No problem 👍
I lost it at 6:20:00 😂😂Omg ur funny. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for watching!
do the ford wheel hub assemblies (2008) have a habit of getting stuck on really bad like the older chevies did? Great video by the way! thanks for producing it.
Mine came off super easy. If you drive through snow a lot they might get stuck on there but honestly they are not bad. Thanks for watching!
this is for a 4x4 only
What is the torque spec on the brake caliper that you said required a lot? (the 18mm bolt). Thx
Like I said a lot. It's 18mm so two arm tight. I'll be honest I don't have an exact figure for you. Thanks for watching!
Shat size or type of dustcap, I cand find any small like what I have
No need to add RTV/Gasket maker to the mating surface?
as a UPS driver we do have gorillas working for us but also shippers don't use a lot of packing material😜
Son away at college and needed this repair done. So a local shop charged $240 to replace wheel bearing, hub and rotor to passenger side of 05 F150 It was worth the cost when a college student has absolutely no tools to do heavy work like this. Now important question, why does only one wheel bearing go out? I didn't hear you mention this in the video.
It isn't, it's just the one that went out first. The other is usually right behind it. Thanks for watching!
Aren't you supposed to grease it before putting the assembly on?
It comes greased. Thanks for watching!
I have a 2001 f-150 "heavy" 7 lug. I'm looking for rims and I'm really struggling to find them. Any suggestions? Should I just switch hubs to a 5 or 6 lug hub?
I'm always for keeping it stock. Have you tried rockauto or summitracing?
Do u think I should keep looking for 7 lug rims or consider changing out the hubs to a 5 or 6 lug........I know you said stock...but, I don't have a bunch of money to spend on brand new rims
On a 4x4, how important is it to replace both at the same time?
Pretty important. I didn't replace my other one due to finances and 2 weeks later the other one just went out anyways. Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros Thanks!
@@CelticCroata damn I guess I know what I have to do when I have free time! Replace the other side!
Does it matter the spline count on a 06 ford f150 5.4 triton and is so what is the spline count because I'm trying to find so I can buy the right hub
I was under the impression there was only one spline count across the year range. Thanks for watching!
this hub assembly is not the same as my 2006 F150....why is mine different. Are there 2 different ford truck hubs
Yes..4x4 and regular
Are the actuators in the hub?
Nope, just an ABS sensor. Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros So when you purchase a new wheel hub it does not come with a actuator?
If u think dats da easiest to swap out try doing it on a 2wd. F150 04-08 models den u tell if u still feel da same way...??? Lol
That's how much they charge?! 19:17
Just about. Thanks for watching!
Is this easy or expensive enough that someone might take a good one from a truck to replace a bad one on another truck, and put the bad one on the truck that the good one was taken from? I let a friend of a mutual friend borrow my truck for a week or so which had no problems. Now all of sudden the right front wheel sounds bad while driving and esp when turning now as if it's rubbing (or maybe needs grease?), AND driver side of engine sounds like a lifter or pushrod is tapping. On top of which my 2 rear suicide doors are stuck closed on the bottom, dents and scratches in back, front of bed wall is bent pushed in under rear window, and tailgate top liner was ripped off and nasty dent on top corner above tail light. Plz Spare me any lecture, I've def learned my lesson about being a nice guy. And if course I can't prove any of it.
And turns out the guy seems to be a pretty sketchy dude and doesn't return calls. Def not ever doing this again. Some people can be total scum.
Screw that , I'd tell that sketchy guy to buy his own horse 🐎,
