Thank you for video! I am going to replace all 4 wheels on my 2014 Mazda 6. Your video helps a lot!

I'm happy I could help, but remember that the 2014 is the third generation (3G) and not a second generation (2G) like mine.

Great job Richard 😊👏👏👏

You're welcome. I've got some more videos to come, but I've ran into a little snag that has delayed me. Stay tuned.

Well explained and with all torque specs. Not that easy to replace a hub bearing of a car running in the rust belt as it would likely require using a sliding hammer. Great video nevertheless. Very helpful. Many thanks.

Nice explanation, Richard. Did you happen to notice while the old bearing was failing if it made more noise while driving on a highway, if you turn the wheel slightly to change lanes? My 2010 Mazda does this when I turn the steering wheel slightly to the right on the highway, but the sound minimizes when the steering wheel is kept straight, or turned to the left. Thanks

That's more a sign of the front wheel bearing going bad. As you turn the steering wheel, the road wheel loads up (lateral forces) and this causes more friction. This increased friction on the bad bearing causes more noise. The rear wheels don't load up the same way when you turn. I recently had a bad front bearing that behaved the same way (noise when turning), but it didn't hum like the rear. It actually made a grinding sound. Thanks for the kind words. Thanks for watching. Stay tuned, more videos to come!

Hi! Thanks for the video. Do you have any update? Is the moog branded wheel bearing still working fine?

Nice video. I was thinking that the bearing wasn't pressed in. And it isn't. Still can't get the bearing of. I tried removing the knuckle, threatening the bolts in a bit and smacking the ever living shit out of it from the backside. Still doesn't work 😅😂 I just don't know what do do

The first thing you need to do is to make sure all the bolts are removed. You might be surprised what you miss. If all are out, soak the living heck out of it with penetrating oil like WD40. Let it sit for a few hours or so, then try again. If that doesn't work, you may want to get yourself a propane torch and put some heat on it. It will come off.

But what if you used a lot of wd40, and you deside to heat it? Wd40 is very flammable. How long does it take when the wd40 is completely dry?

@@ravegten Since you're going to heat it, I highly doubt it matters how flammable WD40 is. But if you have any concern about the WD40 burning away, wash it off with dishwashing liquid.
