HUB SHOCKER Hub Busters | REMOVE STUCK WHEEL BEARINGS EASILY!
Рет қаралды 1,181,271
Күн бұрын✅ THIS TOOL WILL REMOVE ANY STUCK MODERN DAY BOLT-IN WHEEL BEARING/HUB ASSEMBLY, FRONT OR REAR. It will make short work of stubborn wheel bearings that won't separate from the knuckle. Subaru rear bearings are crazy hard to remove with out this tool. Now I give a bearing a few hard strikes with a hammer. If it doesn't budge, I just attach the Hub Shocker! This tool makes bearing removal so easy! The tool is Universal and there are several companies that make it. You can even make you own. It is for bolt-style hub and wheel bearing style assemblies only. Most modern vehicles now use these exclusively.

2.0 Video SOLVES tool mounting problems and bearing separation problems!!!---- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7GhjNd-ydK0iaM.html ---I USE Grade-8 Bolts for mounting now, and a Cv-Axle TRICK to keep the bearing in one piece during removal or even pull the bearing back together if it separated during the removal process. I use a 8lb sledge only on the tool now. Stubborn bearings always need backup options to remove. My Favorite is the HubShocker by far. I love this thing! Another option is this NEW CHEAP $29 ASTRO TOOLS "LAST CHANCE" WHEEL BEARING REMOVAL KIT is great to supplement the Hub Shocker. I keep both in my box ready to go at all times so I never need to replace a suspension knuckle. It uses a different method to apply pressure.

As a suggestion on the axle nuts if changing both sides. I just switch the nuts to opposite side. And for me if one side goes out I just replace both sides, but that's just me. I realize you may not have the money to do that. I also recommend OEM hub assembly for replacement. I stopped buying cheap press in or hub assemblies type wheel bearings

I used the same tool on the rear of my Subaru forester, attached it snugly with OEM lug nuts, hammered it with all of my might with a 4lb hammer over 200 times and it didn't budge. My feeling is if this guy can remove his hub with a couple of taps from a ball peen hammer that he probably could have gotten it off some other way anyhow. This obviously works for some people but it is no magic solution to this age-old problem.

I have a cv axle nut trick to keep the bearing in one piece if it starts to separate. You can even use it to pull it back together during the process. Sorry you had trouble. It isn't so much the tool that is the problem. It is Subaru's INSANE bearings. They stick beyond anything I have seen.

If that came off so easy, it wasn't stuck there good enough. Most bearings wont come off with anything! You can try removal tool, prying screws, lump hammer, chisels, anything, and they wont come off. The only thing that helps is to take off the whole assembly and put it under a heavy press.
@EasyFixShaun Жыл бұрын
I feel ya. I still love the the tool though. My attempt is always use the easy methods and progress to the more intrusive ones. Removing the knuckle and pressing "bolt-in" style bearings will work- i completely agree. It is also the most intrusive method and requires an alignment afterwards. This wasn't the worst removal in the video. But it was difficult. Subaru rear bearings are amongst the the most difficult models to remove. The explorer rears are probably the worst. The Hubshocker 2.0 video i made was a good demonstration on a massively stuck bearing if you want to see it. I do recommend it over this video. I also solved two issues with the tool 😀🔧

The axle is just along for the ride, it should be fine - but it's probably not ideal for the integrity of the knuckle, the centering ring of which will be spread violently by the use of this tool.
@EasyFixShaun 3 жыл бұрын
@@davidkuehne476 The tool sends a shock to through the bearing and breaks the weakest link. The weakest link is the rust bond holding the bearing in the knuckle.. I have inspected all knuckles after bearing removal and have found no problems. The good news also is that the knuckle is stronger than the rust bond and the bearing. So it seems brutal, but for severely stuck wheel bearings it works quite well. Check out the hub shocker 2.0 video and let me know what you think?!? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7GhjNd-ydK0iaM.html

Sorry about that. It is a tool of last resort at times. With a lot of corroded bearings it has been a life saver for me. There are some bearings it can not handle and heavy duty trucks are some and I have heard it will not remove the rear of a new explorer generation. I haven't had the chance to try the explorer. On heavy duty I usually use the hydraulic power steering and socket combo method to push on the mount bolts. I agree, the torch removes all wheel bearings! haha.

This fellow says the CV axle is what holds the 2 halves of the wheel bearing together. I just replaced a rear wheel bearing on a ford explorer and the cv axle does NOT hold the bearing halves together. The CV axle splines and the wheel hub splines are tapered slightly such that the hub nut tightens them when the nut is tightened. However, the hub is only pressed into the inner bearing halves. I bought a cheap bearing and hub and the inner race rear half separated. I purchased an expensive bearing and no more problems.
@EasyFixShaun 3 жыл бұрын
The CV shaft has three jobs. Transmit power to the wheels. Transmit power while allowing suspension and steering movement. Hold the bearing together as a failsafe. That is how it works. There are some bearings that do not use a cv axle to hold everything together on some FWD and RWD vehicles. Those bearings are built differently to make ensure the bearing doesn't come apart. I am glad you got your ride working with some good parts 😃
