About the price of buying stuff like this, my attitude is, if I can buy the tools I need to fix my own vehicle, where a shop would charge 2-5 times as much, then immediately, after 1st use, it's paid for.

Hub buster works better and if you have a welder you can make one pretty quickly. Slide hammer is better for pulling axle shafts. If you wanna pull hubs step up to a 10lbs or larger slide hammer. A really easy way to remove hubs is to use a cheap bottle jack or two. Thread the rotor onto the hub with the stud nuts, minus the wheel, and then just jack from the other side of the rotor. It'll push the hub out no sweat. Bottle jack is about $20 at harbor freight.

Let me know how your job goes. Do not over tighten your axle nut when you are done. You will need to look it up the spec. on line and use an torque wrench to finish. Let me know how the job goes.

I have to replace the backing plate on the front brakes on a Toyota. If I take off the hub and the race comes with it along with the hub is it possible to just press the hub and race back onto the original bearing or is the bearing toast once the race comes off with the hub. Bearing was only replaced last year so I know it's still good.

@MegaLostOne

No, you won't harm the other bearing. After removing the CV axle nut you want to make sure the axle is not seized to the hub so the axle will slide free of the hub when the hub is removed. Generally you would remove the lower ball joint from the knuckle or if you can remove the bolts from the ball joint to the lower control arm and remove the axle from the hub then put the ball joint back in the steering knuckle or reconnect the ball joint to lower control arm (just enough to hold it firmly but not torqued down) then use the sliding hammer to remove the hub. The axle could be left in place while pulling the hub if it is free to slide but you would still have to remove the axle either way in order to remove the old bearing and install the new bearing.

Bet you wish you had an impact wrench lol Nice video sir.

Thanks Kimquy; It has been by far my most popular video.

Instead of needing a vise to hold the knuckle you could have left it all attached to the car and used the tool to remove the bearing and hub together. The use a puller to remove the bearing. I would also keep the various bearing parts to use as pushers in the futur.

Thanks, I am aware the knuckle can be left in rhe car. In this instance I removed it for visual clarity. However that is a great tip about saving the old bearings.

Puerto rico auto zone dont have that kit. Not even for sale and in the past the cost was $195.

You can order the kit on eBay for about $60 US. i originally paid $100 for mine but that was 3 years ago.

Do you have to stabilize the other side of the rod while spinning the back side?

Yes Chris, Thanks for the question. I had a wrench holding the nut in the front while I turned the rod from the back side. Evidently, I failed to mention that in the video. More than 700,000 views and you are the first to notice that. Fantastic question, thanks so much. please by all means do not be a stranger.

Hello sir I just bought a bearing peas kit and I’m pressing out of 2008 scion tc and I seen a lot of people with Scion Xb and the press from he front to back and i noticed you did from back to front I just don’t know which is the correct way to

It depends on the vehicle and how it is designed. The car in the video was a Nissan and that was the only way on that model it could be done. Other manufactures may design the component differently, so that it has to be pressed out from the front. So to answer your question both ways may be correct.

will this kit work with japanish car or korian car ? and thanks for this useful video , miguel

Thanks howard; Always a great suggestion. I made that video about 5 years ago and I thought I had mentioned that. I am going to watch it again. I was on the safety committee for my shop over a 20 year span. We where not even allowed in the building without them on. I am horrified when I see people using power tools with no protection. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching my channel. (don't be a stranger)

can this kit use impact gun to drive the nut?

@richardspaulding5035

Жыл бұрын

I have seen people do that, however I don't and I do not recommend it. I have had several complaints from users that the jack screw has worn out. This kit was not designed for every day use. I would try to protect the screw by using lubrication and turning it only by hand.

I use a mini dreemel with a reinforced disk and cut a line almost through and then give it a hit with a chisel and it pops loose.

Excuse me sir what size socket did u use for the bearing press

@richardspaulding5035

Surprisingly they are not metric. For the screw end it is a 1-1/8 socket and for the nut end it is a 1-1/4 socket. I am sorry, I must not have included that information in the video. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching my channel.

Does this only do front bearings ????

@richardspaulding5035

Thanks for your question John, As far as I know the kit is only necessary for replacing the front wheel bearings. The rear hub assembly which includes the rear bearings simply unbolts and is replaced as a unit on most front wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles. Thanks for watching my channel.

@Meat Free. If they know you work with metal they usually do an x-ray to check for metal prior to the scan. At least they did with me when I told them I was a mechanic.
