I watched a few videos of this task and you by far looked liked you knew what you were doing to me compared to the other videos you knew what you had to do to get it done, and your narration of the video definitely made you look like you were doing in my opinion

I can't tell you how much I would have loved to bust out the Air Hammer and drive this wheel bearing out... But, I hope this video helps you guys out and thanks for taking the time to check it out.

Thanks for the detailed vid. It took me about an hour of working it with a hammer and I was going to give up well before that since most videos show it coming out immediately but this video motivated me to keep going. Happy to say I am back up and running.

After doing this myself, one improvement I'd suggest is popping the center cover off the wheel and removing the spindle nut before you remove the wheel or jack it up. Also, while brand of socket might not be critical, it is important to use thick-walled impact sockets for the hard to remove bolts. I busted a Craftsman standard socket in the process of removing the three hub bolts with a breaker bar- cheap impact socket had no trouble taking the pressure.

Thank you for this tutorial, it made changing out my hub bearing assembly a no-brainer! I was done in 2 1/2 hours start to finish. 2007 explorer. 184,000 miles.

Nice work, friend. That is a job for sure....I understand the steps you took to do this, but I won't be trying it. I'm 73. Taking it to my local mechanic to do but at least I will have a good understanding of how it should be done...

Great job in explaining everything we all need to know to go ahead with doing the job the right way..another thing I wanted to say was I seen a youtuber use a 32 Inch pipe wrench to the top of the bearing hitting the end and loosening the bearing from its socket with a couple hits (worked great)...also seen a (bearing buster) tool for $100 bucks for a quick wack and off goes the bearings..I know yours is a good (dont have any extra special tools thing) but incase people run into what you and I are gonna run into messing with our bearings at home lol... there is help out there in doing the job alot easier....thanks man....

Great video!! Thanks for your patience!

THANK YOU! I'm going to do this this weekend, same wheel/vehicle. Question: Is there ANY other method I can use to remove the hub? Other than hammering and stressing for an hour?

Great video. This is about the 10th I watched. Have to do this for 02 Mountaineer. I would advise to put on some anti-seize over the axle and bearing and along the knuckle you grind down. Great job hope mines come off easier.

If we're replacing the whole wheel bearing hub assembly, we probably don't need to worry about damaging the lug nut studs ;)

Thanks so much for doing this for me. You’re the man!

Excellent video very informative thank you

I just replaced this knuckle, and had to cut off one of the three hub bolts. Three days to get the old hub off, 1 hr to put the new hub on.

I also have the 2010 Explorer and have needed to do this job three times now. I'm in Canada and the rust bond between the hub and knuckle is awful. Even using air hammers and slide hammers didn't make this an easy job. One thing that I would recommend is using anti-seize before installing the new bearing. If you need to do the job again I will be much easier.

Why not use a harmonic balancer puller

No bearing grease?

I love how my 3 bolts to take this bearing out are like a 22 size and I barley have room due to it’s the rear and an explorer 😕

Tk u sr

Isnt there a tool to remove that piece?

What about replacing the actual bearing...instead of the entire hub assembly? That was the title of this video, but NOT what is demonstrated. The price on the hub assembly is crazy high. Is it just that difficult to replace just the bearing?

How many hours did this job take total for you?

It can't always go as smooth as we want

Why can't you use an air hammer on the bolts

After doing all that work with next to no effort with no rust like at all how are you going to sit there and say that sensor is that corroded it's not going to come out lol after you break it

I alwasy get lost in these videos in these zoomed in parts. When you wen to the top of the engine i got totally lost

If you rental the tool autozone and gat you money back went you return

BTW, that was totally the wrong file!!!

Definition of a hammer mechanic. 🤦🏻

Please people please, wear eye protection when you use a wire brush attachment in a drill or a pneumatic tool!!! This guy needs to choose a new profession.....

The correct way to do that job is to remove the knuckle then press the bearing hub out. Once that's out you simply press the old bearing out and press the new one in. If you don't have the correct tools to do this, then have someone do it for you!!! This video proves this!!! Jesus Christ, one needs to choose their battles correctly!!! Also, quit smoking then you won't be running out of breath the way you are!!!
