Loved working on cars in the south when I lived there. Bolts and screws coming out nice and easy

Always nice to see the shop foreman get his hands dirty, ha ha. You should do more of these. Glad to hear your daughter is OK.

Great Video Glad your Daughter is ok. Keep up the great work Mr. Flat Rate

Such a time saver tool. Done many with a homemade tool, but the otc is so much better.

What a set of circumstances! Thanks for putting the video out anyways. Shows how things - life and auto repair - go sometimes. Glad your daughter is okay!

Great video thanks brother. Got a great process of how you do it. Looks like the otc tool works pretty good. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again brother

Found a good tool and good music. That's a win win right there

I got one of those. Love it. Had to buy it since the shop that I worked at the time would no buy one to due customer wheel bearings. Yay Portland.

Good video bud. Sorry to hear about the accident. Glad everyone is ok 👍🏻

Seems like the family jobs are always the ones that give you trouble! Love the OTC hub grappler, makes life so much easier!

That kit pays for itself for any tech but especially mobile guys like myself! NOT turing away easy money just because you don't have the tool.......those days are over with this kit! Money, money, money........money!

Wow, sorry your daughter had a wreck, hope she’s ok. Some jobs go easy and sometimes sourcing parts becomes the most difficult part of a repair. Thanks for the video, keep up the good work.

I see you use a stubby 3/8ths impact a lot like me i like the 4th drive mode a lot and the power is unbelievable definitely my favourite tool these days

The Hub Grappler is a bad beast. Had to purchase one awhile back for a press in bearing set up since carrying around a shop press in the work truck isn't practical. My only criticism is that they put it all in one case. It's a heavy son of a gun and makes me wonder how long the handle on that case is going to last. Glad nobody got hurt in the accident. That's the most important thing.

that prog jam in the background is just totally nailing it

Great video mike

Great Video Bud!

I bought a hub grappler. sure wish a wheel bearing job would come along so I can use it.

Excellent work brother

Ok that came off way too easy! And I live in Florida 😆 great video Mike!

Good work sir and glad your daughter is ok

Living in the north east. I’ve never seen a lock ring come out that easy.lol

I've always just used a press for bearings, would you say this is faster or just easier not having to deal with getting the knuckle straight

Glad everyone was ok. It's rare to see them that old with rocker panels still in them here.

I wish cars were that easy to work on up here in Iowa! Those Cotter pins would have been destroyed as would the snap ring. Great video as always, send some of that rust free gravy this way.

You always provide great videos, as a new apprentice I've learned a ton from you. Keep up the great work. Also hope your daughter is o.k. after that accident.

I need one of those, I've seen our master tech do it and never take the spindle out!

Pretty cool that Timkin is made like 10 miles away from where I live of course I’m in Vermont and that’s New Hampshire but it’s right across the river drive buy it on my way to get parts every day! I hope your daughter is ok sorry that happened

Wisconsin makes working on cars fun.😃

Man, I can't believe you got all that work done and she wrecked it within a 20 minute video 😁 Glad she's ok. It always sucks to just put money and work into something that gets wrecked. Been there.

When you get a bad bearing like that SKF in the open package, or even the one that dropped, who picks up the tab for that? Does that come out of your pocket or can the part be returned for a replacement? Thanks for the great videos.

you can actually use that drum puller that comes in the grappler kit to remove the hub from the bearing so you dont have to waste energy on the slide hammer

I use a slide hammer to remove the hub, and i only removed the spindle for filming

The Milwaukee gun is bad ass. I use mine at times to remove lugnuts from on fire trucks

You sure you didn't drop that one too .. lol jk jk .. but I just bought the Astro bearing installer and I only used it once so far but I like that tip of just using the plates not the "cup" also to get it started and moving .. very good video as always.. tho .. have a good night

Like that slide hammer tool, that’s legit.

You know it's a well loved tool when you see two forcing screws in the case.

after you get the hub out run a fast weld bead on inside let it cool shake the bearing out that's just the why i do it

Hey man, just got a question regarding imperial tools, i got a full set of wrenchs (metric and imperial), ive never used the imperials, would it be worth just selling the imperials and put the money towards other tools. Or should i just hold onto them? Cheers for Australia 🇭🇲

Great vid. Glad your daughter is ok. Sad to see a good Honda go to waste.

I like OEM Civic rear replacement hubs with pressed in bearings and replacement struts complete with assembled struts cartridges and springs. Call me lazy, but I like to keep my fingers, toes and eyes intact.

How much can a wheel bearing be from Honda? It shouldn’t be that bad price wise. Hubs are pricey for sure but the bearings couldn’t be that horrible could they? I know Toyota is like 43$ for just the bearing. I’ve always reused hubs with no trouble then again I don’t do Honda very often at all so that could be different.
