Hello , can I ask you about counter holding the small (finger sized / shape) tapered nut that is put on the back end of the threaded rod ; which is then spun against the female splines and then is counter held with a wrench ? It’s like trying to put a wrench on a nut at the bottom of an empty tuna fish can ?! The female splines part of the hub are a few inches within the spindle / knuckle / hub housing and the hex end of the nut sits a bit too deep within this cavernous opening for the wrench to get on it . Plus when the threaded spindle is turned at the main nut (pressure screw) this tapered nut would travel more and more within (isolated away) from any wrench & eventually emerge out the other side along with the wheel hub once pressed out . I’m confused / am I missing something ? So how does the counter holding the tapered nut with a wrench happen ? Is it only at the very beginning and the after a couple turns of the threaded rod/tension screw no longer required ?? Any help you can provide would be much appreciated ! 🙏🏼

Can you use silicone grease on the outside of the bearing for the installation into the hub?

@durk1980

Great question. Quick answer is I don’t know. I am not an expert on the differences between silicone and grease. I use high temp grease, and personally I would not use silicone. Best to consult an expert on that one. I will say my expert is a certified mechanic friend who builds helicopters and can do whatever he wants to any engine. Extremely smart person. He recommended high-temp grease, and remember, the amount should be very little.

Hello , can I ask you about counter holding the smaller (half a finger sized / shape ) nut which is threaded at the back of the threaded rod and is inserted on the surface of the female splines ? This nut goes into the spindle / knuckle housing which is like trying to get a wrench to hold a nut at the bottom of an empty tuna fish can . Plus the nut works it’s way (travels) deeper and dapper inside and eventually shows up at the other end when the hub and nut emerge . So I’m confused about what to do / how did you counter hold it with a wrench during the process ? I’m working on a 2010 BMW 328 AWD .

@durk1980

4 ай бұрын

Hey there. For me, the nut had groves in it like an octagon, to receive the wrench. As it pulls through the hub, the wrench just goes through the hub, but not at such an angle that it prevents the threaded rod from doing its job. The kit has multiple discs at varying sizes so that you can match it to your hub. I’m not sure what your setup is, but there shouldn’t be any situation where it’s like the tuna can you described. Good luck man!

@@durk1980 Hello . Thanks for sharing your extra time and knowledge to assist me with my challenge . I appreciate everything you have said . It seems that on my 2010 BMW AWD the wheel carrier / knuckle has a big cavernous indentation on it’s back side (inboard) . The smallest press plate my kit comes with is a wee too big (in diameter) to be placed on the back of the hub (female splines) without extending upon the wheel bearing itself . Therefore I was hoping to do as you did and simply place the long tube hex nut directly upon the female splines of the hub spine . Well that’s a no go because of the problem I described . You have helped me by your answer . I now know that I’ll have to go about this slightly differently than what your wheel carrier / knuckle required for tool set up . 👍🏼

On the Honda Fit you cant even get the dust shield off until the hub is removed. I always pull the knuckle off the car. Thats just the way i do it. Im thinking that your bearing tool kit will also work with the knuckle on my work bench and held in placewith my shop vice. Anyway, for now i iwll just let my shop guy up the street do it with his press. Also, a new hub is only like 21.00.

Correct, they’re not that expensive, but if you don’t have a press, or a friend with one, this really wasn’t that hard with the loaner tools.

Can this be done without an inpact driver? I.e a wrench with a bar?

@durk1980

3 ай бұрын

Of course. It will just be a much slower process. They’re in there pretty tight, and there’s not a lot of room to maneuver the bar since you’re limited to the wheel well - sort of - hence why an impact driver is nice. You can get a pretty cheap on at Harbor Freight, or even Amazon. You do get what you pay for, but if you intend to use it once a year, then who cares. Couple times a week? Pay for the quality.

@hobbyless4089

Жыл бұрын

@TG, push and pull are mostly relative terms. When you "pull" something, it usually implies something is in tension. In this case, the bolt is in tension, so in away, it is pulling. Whe you are pushing something, it normally indicates compression, the bolt is almost never in compression, so you're always pulling. But for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction, the the disc/sleeve is compressed only because the bolt (under tension) acts on the disc/sleeve.

Just did this myself for my old 1997 Civic. Not one single video I have watched mentions the fact that when you install the new bearing the inner race actually sticks out past the outer race, they are not flush even with each other. So when you are pressing the new bearing in you are not pressing on the outer race, all the force is on the inner race. Anyone else ever noticed this?

@durk1980

Жыл бұрын

Hey MC CH. thx for the comment. I just rewatched my video, and while I didn’t make any mention of this, the lip created by the inner race and the outside edge, or lip, of the outer race, were indeed flush with each other on my wheel bearings. I would have to buy another one, and look to see how close they are, but if they are not flush with each other, that would surprise me. Whenever I put the wheel bearing kit spacers on the wheel bearing, they were always flush across both surfaces. In other words, it never rocked back-and-forth, going from the inner race edge to the outer race edge. Does that answer your question? Hopefully you were able to have success!
