Nice, he actually shows how to do the bearing, not just the hub like all the other videos. This guy explains everything very well. 😀

Thank you so much you saved my butt by you making this video. I was on my way from Texas to Florida. In about 5:30 in the morning when it's still dark on the freeway my bearing went out my wheel was wobbling and I pulled over immediately and I knew I couldn't sit on the side of the highway so I was able to drive 8 Miles at about 10 mph until I got to O'Reilly's. I watch this video it took me about 3 hours to do and I was done back on the road. Thank you so much.

I'm working on a friend's truck and his flex hose went bad so his fron't left brakes locked up but he just kept driving it anyway, getting it dang near red hot. I replaced the hose, caliper, rotor, brake pads, (all shot) but I'm not sure if I need to repair or replace the wheel bearings. How likely is that?

@davidmclain1875 Жыл бұрын

Hey Falcon, I enjoy your videos. I've done this job on a Ford Sport Trac, 2001. 2 questions for you. 1. Would the torque values be sufficiently similar to my vehicle? I've done it the old fashioned way, but would prefer to use a torque wrench. 2. When the job is complete and I've driven it for a week or so, should there be ANY movement at all when you push/pull on the tire at the 12 and 6 position with the truck off the ground?

Nice video. Only suggestion, while this vehicle didn't need to replace the bushings, on these videos wouldn't it be better to show everything? Even if it is redundant it would only cost you a few minutes in time . . . no extra money . . . just a thought. Helpful though. maybe mention too that if you do need a socket for the spindle nut, its 30mm or 1 1/8 inch.

@jgc113 Жыл бұрын

I have question on the last torque spec you did a half of turn on the nut then you when back a 1/4 ?
