How to change a press in wheel bearing without a press. In this video I'm going to show you how to change a very common type of automotive wheel bearing. The press in type. These bearings are used in a lot of front wheel drive vehicles, small cars, minivans, and SUVs. These bearings are common across all different brands of cars and the procedure to change them is pretty similar.
You need to remove the wheel and tire, the CV shaft from the wheel hub. Remove the brake caliper and the brake rotor. Next, install the wheel hub adapter onto the wheel hub and use the slide hammer to remove the wheel hub. Remove the snap ring holding in the bearing, using the press kit press out the old wheel bearing, and press in the new wheel bearing. Using the wheel bearing press it press in the hub. Reassemble the brakes and install the wheel and enjoy!
Tools that I used in this video to change this wheel bearing:
Astro Wheel Bearing Press Kit: amzn.to/3t2POLQ
Side Hammer: amzn.to/3tX6yDM
Snap Ring Pliers: amzn.to/3t1Tvl6

This is by far the best instruction video on replacing a FWD front wheel bearing. I’m a Honda tech by trade, and I can say that every steps, tips, and cautions are all spot on. Only thing I might say is that by using the impact gun you may damage the threads on the tool prematurely, especially if it’s a cheaper quality installation tool.

I finished doing my daughter's 2018 Buick. I bought the press tool although it was a different brand. I followed this video and everything worked great. I do not have an impact, but a cheater bar worked. A couple of things were different on this Buick. I had to take the tie rod loose. The snap ring was on the back side. After removing it, the bearing had to be pressed out the back and installed from the back. Was still able to do it on the car. I really appreciate this video. I probably would not have tried diy without it. There are a lot of videos on this subject, but this was the best.

You so right, the bearing and new hub are quite inexpensive. I can get both for less than $100! And the pre-pressed full kuckle would have cost me $900 for both!

First time I replaced front bearings I ended up taking the knuckles off as the slide hammer wasn't able to get the hub out of them and made a huge racket that my neighbors probably weren't too happy with as I work on the street. I got one hub out with a small sledgehammer pounding a large impact socket that I used as a drift, but the other one just wouldn't budge so I took it to a shop to be pressed out. I got the rest done using this Astro Pneumatic tool, which was pretty straightforward. I can verify that getting wheel speed sensors out of old and rusty knuckles is almost impossible to do without breaking them, because I tried this on a 30 year old car last year and broke both of the rear ones. Each costs around $350 so I now have to either do without and put up with that annoying ABS light (or just pull the fuse) and of course no ABS, shell out $700 for new ones, or try to jerry-rig ones out of the old sensor cables which are fine and a hall effect sensor (or whatever sensor they use) with the right voltage output and a rod that fits just right in the hole. I'm going to try the latter first. Also, you should grease or lube that forcing bolt before using this tool, to make things go easier and protect the threads. And, different cars have different pressed-in bearing setups, with some coming out the outboard side and some coming out the inboard side. It's basically wherever that snap ring goes. Btw snap rings are well-named because when you remove them they snap at you, so wear eye protection folks or put something solid in front of them when you remove them.

I always thought you needed to use the outside of the bearing to push it in, not the inside. I do them just like bushings, I would have used a larger plate to cover the entire bearing and push it in by the outer race, if you push it in using the inner race you can damage the bearings.

@chadcramer4024 10 ай бұрын

If you watch going in he pushed on the outside!

@kay-zed4407 10 ай бұрын

He did use the inner bearing to press in the hub. That is the correct way to install the hub as it does not put pressure on the bearings and keeps both halves of the inner race together. If you are pressing on just the outer race there is a good probability that the inner race opposite the hub will get pushed out of the bearing destroying it. *Depending on what kind of tool is used obviously.

@patadegrillo007 10 ай бұрын

The inside bearing is supported with this tool configuration so no damage is done
