Scotty I know what you mean about the old wheel bearings. I used to watch my dad repack them without any fancy repacking devices. He would get a blob of wheel bearing grease and put it in the palm of his hand then take one side of the wheel bearing the side you could see the ball bearings and push it down against the grease in the palm of his hand and dragging it across the grease so it will be forced into the wheel bearing. Then it would rotate to wheel bearing and do the same thing again and again until he got all the way around the bearing. He didn't have a torque wrench... he couldn't afford one so he did it all by feel and he never had one go bad on him. That was old school poor way of doing things.

Yeah we never owned a torque wrench growing up either. I had three setting for "hand tight": 1) reasonable that my girlfriend could probably get it loose. 2) tight enough that my hand started to hurt. 3) King Kong tight when you stripped the bolt, bent the wrench and/or felt the gear in the ratchet about to give way. And the thing is, it worked when the job was done, but you don't quite know for sure if long term is was done right. I think a lot of so-called professional mechanics worked this way too, as my cousin had a trucking yard and they had every kind of tool imaginable, but I never saw them get out the torque wrench or go to a shop manual for a torque spec.

I priced up a complete wheel bearing hub assembly for my Saturn Aura and since it was less than $50 and the car had 150K miles on it I decided to do both sides even though one was fine. Simple job, had both done in less than 2 hours taking my sweet time. Was shocked to hear that on some cars this is an expensive and labor intensive job. I'll make certain to avoid those cars when I need a new one.

My dad was a Timken bearing QA Inspector in Ohio for a few years after we returned from Saudi. The Saudi Airlines (and I believe airlines in general) bought the Timken bearing because it was able to withstand the hashness of the desert sand/heat and gulf salt water. Nothing like a 70 mph shamal picking up salt water and desert floor to sand blast your airplane. Dad got to see the real world use of Timken bearings for a couple decades in the desert and then later test them at the factory. He swears by them and I won't use anything else other than Timken.

Chase Baker it is tough to identify a fake part. Laser etchings, and factory embossed identifiers help. Too many get fooled into thinking it is authentic because it comes in the brands box. I have even seen people swap out one brand for another and sell it!! O2 sensors are a mess because sometimes brands use different suppliers for the part with strict quality control guidelines, so how will we know if a certain manufacturers part is under certain specifications!!

Great video Scotty. I worked at a chain shop and watched guys hammer on those axle nuts with an impact wrench. Also a good idea: say you pull out the CV axle at 120,000miles for whatever reason. Change the seal on the back of the hub while it's out! (If there is one.) You can get another 40,000 out of your bearing by doing that, you've probably disturbed the seal by taking the axle out or some times the spring pops off the seal. Also SKF is a good company, probably only aftermarket bearings I would trust even if they are made in China.

Scotty, being a woman I love watching and LEARNING from you. The problem is, it's going to be tough for me not to stand over the next mechanic that works on my car to make sure he's doing things EXACTLY like Scotty says it's suppose to be done!! And you KNOW I'll be asking LOTS of questions about how they intend to do the job BEFORE they touch my car! See what you've done! They're gonna hate to see me coming now and I'm going to worry they'll piss in my gas tank when I'm not looking.

Torque wrench is a necessary tool for all mechanic and DIY people

@ryannrjohnson 5 жыл бұрын

I already have a torque wrench, but everyone needs to see this video. Absolutely the best information. Torque them correctly every time you replace them. Through the years I've learned about going cheap on the hub assembly. AutoZone Duralast Hub assembly lasted around 30,000 miles each replacement on my Chevy Trailblazer. The OEM Timken lasts around 100,000 miles. Also the Moog brand (if you're not gonna purchase OEM) lasted 100,000 miles. Yes, I do a lot of driving. So spending 99 dollars on a Duralast that has to be replaced at 30,000 miles doesn't make sense when the Moog is only 65 more dollars and will last 3 times longer than Duralast or another cheap brand. I replaced my Lexus LS 460 at 100,000 miles and I'll have to see how long they last first. I'm at 160,000 now, but they are bolted from the rear. I still torque them but the pressure isn't on the bearing itself.

Alex Bogard same, even a little bump in the rim... bought a set with 3 good rims and one which was a tiny bit of so next MOT check they told me the rear bearings were worn and should be replaced, actually was just a matter of tightening the nut and it was approved 😂 but still need to replace them sooner or later (lucky for me i have a toyota which is easy to replace)

Replaced my wheel bearings on my 03 X5. 20 bucks on Amazon each and bought the 20 ton press for $150 from Harbor Freight. Total job less than $250 plus some elbow grease. Huge difference! ABS lights no longer come on because they're not over heating anymore.

Crossing my fingers to win a new torque wrench! The lock collar on my Craftsmen one broke. I’ve had it since 1980. Took it back to Sears because Craftsmen tools have a lifetime warranty, right? Well, the tool department manager informed me that this particular torque wrench was made in China, and that Craftsmen tools made in China had a one-year warranty. Nowhere on the torque wrench does it say “made in China” - it doesn’t say “made” in anywhere. Funny how he’s certain where it was made. Said they’d be glad to sell me a new torque wrench. Told him I’d buy almost any other brand BUT Craftsmen!

Torque wrench is important tool for rebuilding the engines and other items along with timing belt rollers and head gasket as the auto engineers knew the important of the ratio of the tightness/weight for the whole thing to operate more smoother!
