Pro tip if you put the new bearing in the freezer before you start doing the job. Then when it comes to putting it in heat up the surface where it sits with a blow torch then grab the new bearing out the freezer and it should just slide right in there if not it will still be a whole lot easyer to get it in like that! :D but awesome video man!

And if the top rubber bushing is that bad you can just remove it and put the entire upright in the owen...

If you don't have a press and are going to hammer the new bearing in, I recommend you freezing the bearing first. The freezing will reduce the size of the bearing and it will seat in place easier and thus reducing the propensity of damaging your bearing.

Thanks for all the great videos, they've been a huge help not only doing the work, but having the confidence to try. Love that you try to keep everything as simple with tools as possible for us with tiny tool boxes!

THANKS for this video man! Only one on the internet worth watching! HELPED A LOT. For what it's worth, the factory workshop manual states torque on the axle nut is 205 ft lbs. +/-30.

Thanks for the videos, they're meticulous and easy to understand. Love the channel much like all your other subs. keep up the great work!

I don't even own a Miata (yet) and watch all of your videos. Just wanted to tell you that I love them! Very clean, concise, and easy for a novice like me to understand. Learning a ton, thank you so much!

Great video. As said before, freezing the bearing will make it easier to install. I don't like the idea of belting it on with a hammer but if you have limited tools it can work for you. Great video. Thanks

Very informative! What an excellent DIY video! Kudos man! 👍🏻

Thank you for another great video. One thing I would add is that the rim of the hub nut should be dented have so it protrudes into the spindle keyway. This prevents the nut from i threading off.

I don't own a Miata yet, but I will soon. I love watching these videos because I know next to nothing about working on cars. I plan on learning on my Miata when that day comes. Thanks for the videos!

i did this job just now and man it was TOUGH you made it look easy but im exausted bruised and wiped out! i did it though thanks to this video i only spent 50$ on a new bearing and hub!

Why is Greg's content just the best Miata stuff on KZread 👌

Worked like a charm. I built a jig sandwiching two 24" x6s and a piece of USB between them with a 3" hole drilled into the center about 2" deep. It made removal and installation a breeze. I put a spare hub into a subzero freezer for a couple days before doing the jobm and it nearly slid in with hand pressure.

DUDE!!! Your the best....thank you. I'm now ready to tackle mine.

You made this look really easy with simple hand tools. I had all the fancy stuff like hydrolic press and other stuff to make the job easier and it wasn't. All that stuff had been on my car since 93 so it was a pain

I'm doing rear wheel bearing on my is300. Good to see other mechanics doing their thing

Thanks man. Another great video

9:45 is a big no no. The wheel hub presses into the bearings inner race. You need to support that inner race before pushing it in. In the video you were supporting the outer race so all that pounding went directly into the ball bearings which could ruin the bearing. Hopefully it's still running good after all this time.

No need to be concerned about the videos being too long, when it comes to thorough and complete instruction long and detailed is the way to go, even longer would be fine for sure.

Great job! Nice example of using hand tools to get this job done.

Just had my rear driver bearing fail on my 90. I had more luck hitting the socket (to remove bearing) with the hammer part of the slide hammer. Easy to hold and the large flat surface area made for hard, even, hits.

that was awesome! thanks I wish I had sern this before I wimped out and paid a mechanic to change my wheel bearing the exact same one btw.

great video, this looks like the same exact process i need to do on my Fd3s . thankfully mazda keeps the designs similar across platforms

Excellent very help full.

Awesome video! Waiting for the timing belt video here ;)

yay timing belt!:) Looking forward to that,because I'm thinking about changing it too ^.^

The slide hammer kit has a threaded rod/bolt for the small puller. The bolt can be used on the hub attachment and just ratchet the hub off.

Thank you this job i need too do on my mk2.5

Thank you man!

Next time be careful when hammering in the new bearings. One of the inner rings fell out for us once. (and then you have to clean it up a bit) since then we always bolt the 2 inner parts together with big washers (just like your axle would hold them together). If you use the old bearing to push/hammer in the new one it's a good idea to grind it down just a tiny bit so it won't get stuck if you have to push it in further (usually its a deeper hole on other cars at the front wheel) Also be careful when putting in the spindle. The inner ring can fall out that time, too. We usually rest said ring on a metal tube that holds up the whole assembly and tap in the spindle that way.

Definitely need to do this for my miata soon

Great video.... I know that the lower control arm bolt on my car is rusted into the bushing sleeves....any great tips on cutting or grinding that bolt out?

Good job!

When you installed the hub to the bearing like that with your slide hammer you should have supported the new bearing with something underneath especially in the inner surface of the new bearing beating it in like that not supported causes premature failure if you havent noticed that by now yet just advice from someone who has done this many many times before lol

Great Video. I did the front on my 99 (NB1), which was very easy. I can see that the rear is quite different. Will it be the same as yours?

Impressive methods.

you just saved me so much cash!

GREAT VIDEO! By the way, can we remove the dust shield altogether???

I've actually got a "ghetto press". Back when I had a MINI, I needed to replace my control arm bushings. But, I didn't want to drop the entire subframe on an FF car (which everybody would tell you to do). So, I cut the old one out with a reciprocating saw, and I pressed the new one in using a large ~8" bolt stud that had large washers on either side. All I did was ratchet the washers toward each other with a nut, and boom, done. The trickiest part was maneuvering in the tight space.

Damn. You're a couple weeks late. I had a bearing and hub fail a few weeks ago and had to have a shop help me (cringe). Plus I just moved and don't have tools :(. Keep up the awesome videos!

Regarding supporting the inner race from the other side are you trying to say that when pressing the hub into the installed bearing you don't want to just let the snap clip be the support (because it just supports the outer part of the bearing), you want something that support the bearing from the inside where the hub fits through?

Good video, thanks.

When you slide hammer the hub/spindle in...was that rear inner race supported? I’ve been fighting my rear bearing on my gto. I froze my hub/spindle and tried tapping lightly into the bearing but my inner race popped out.

Funny video man good job

good video loved it! i have some concerns about your grease statement. yes it will make it easier but you do not want to get grease on rubber parts it will eat them. (so i'm told) what is recommended is anti seize. (so i have been told) just what i have learned from car fanatics looking forward to the new videos. PS: grinders are really cheap get a Chicago electric grinder from HF i use it a lot with cutting and grinding when i have to fab stuff for welding.

Hey, I have a question, do you know if it would be possible to directly swap the upright piece with the dust shield with a hub from a parts car? Keeping the parts car hub in the upright piece

Cut and chisel for the win!!!

I think your bearing might've been fine. It's likely the bushing that was causing the creak and play in the tire.

I have 2 questions as I am about to do this! I am wondering about the race that you removed, if I bought a new hub with a new bearing to put in, I do not need the race from my old hub correct? Second, when I am slamming the hub back into the assembly where would the socket go to support the bearing from the back side? Thank you - Oliver from Florida. @thecarpassionchannel

Quick question do you have to remove the hub in order to take off the upright?

Dou you have to go to an alignment shop after changing the bearing or it doesn't affect it?

Hey Greg hows the bearing holding up? I have one creaking on my car

Use a bearing separator to move it away from it's seat, then use a gear puller to remove it.

I’m having trouble removing the bottom bolt, the 21mm one. I can get the nut off but after that the bolt won’t budge

I love those rims together with the fat tires.

Man do you have the link where you buy the bearing?

is there a specific way the REAR bearings need to go in to work with the ABS sensor? I saw places say to check for magnetism on one side of the bearing and point that toward the sensor, but my bearing doesn't have a magnetic side so how do I know which way to put it in?

Awesome! I did this job myself but couldn't get video of it because I had to work fast. Thanks for doing a great video on this. I did the exact same method except I had the right side inner race pop out. So I will have to redo the right rear. Lame!

Changing my wheel hub and this video was a lifesaver (as were the comments). Greg killin it, as usual, even four years ago. One thing that I ran into on my '93: there's a little indentation in the end of the axle, and the extra material on the outside end of the axle nut is actually hammered into that indentation a little bit to lock the nut in place. You have to tap it back out before the axle nut will turn at all. Wasted an EMBARRASSING amount of time wondering why that nut wasn't coming off even throwing all of my usual tricks at it.
