I really like the extra detail you put in your work. In this video for example cleaning the bearing surface before installing the new bearing. I'm suprised how many channels you find where they just press the new bearing in without cleaning the bearing surface. It drives me crazy when I see guys not cleaning a bearing surface, reusing cotter pins, not removing grease from brake pads, and other things. Nice work Eric !

Based upon this and a couple other reviews of the OTC 6575 kit, I ordered this kit and 4 bearing assemblies and DIY on my Altima. I managed to break the first forcing screw by omitting the necessary lube AND forgetting to remove the bearing snap ring. Got a 2nd forcing screw ($55) and applied lube liberally before utilizing it. The rear bearings were super easy while the front ones were nothing short of a pain in the buttocks. Now my personal conveyance drives much quieter than it has in a few months. Its difficult to tell when it began, The bearing noise gradually sneaks up on ya. Overall the OTC 6575 kit was a great investment in my ever growing collection of tools. Thanks Eric!

For the guys who only have a cut-off tool... slice a groove across the face of the race 3/4s deep and hit it with a wide chisel. Will usually crack the race so you can slide it right off. Works great on Diff carrier bearings after the cage is removed. Be careful not to cut too deep

@charlesdickerson8260 4 ай бұрын

I just put the hub in a vise and use an air hammer and chisel between the race and hub. Gives me enough space to use a puller... Or more realistically continue using the air hammer to push it off. Takes like 3 minutes. Easy peazy

We got a Grappler at our shop about a year ago. Very handy! Used to take the knuckle off and take it to the machine shop to press the bearings. Depending how busy they were, could have a car torn apart on the lift all day. Just did a Kia Sedona last week and it only took an hour or so. Of course, between phone calls. :)

Hi Eric. I use a small cut wheel & grind side ways on the race. Once you get most of the way through just put a chisel in the cut & hit it with a hammer & she splits enough to slid off. Just another way to approach it. Love your videos. Watch them a lot. You are very good with electrical issues. Keep up the good work

Thanks Eric for your videos - especially on brake hardware. I just recently did front brakes last summer on my Honda CR-V and with your advice, also worked on the rear discs this past weekend. Wow, what a difference. It stops better, very little or no noise and lasts longer. The tip of using Permetex Purple Ceramic Brake Caliper Grease and cleaning and sanding off rust on contact points on the caliper, caliper bracket, and the backings of the brake pads. I now do my own brakes and not going to friends and shops due to the fact that they just throw the pads on and ship them out without doing the "detail" work that makes the brakes work better and last longer. Again, Many Thanks!!!!!

The 314305 was to large. It was on the body of the knuckle meaning it couldn’t press the bearing out . Needed to use a larger receiving cup and a smaller adapter.

I just replaced my front left wheel bearing today. Had the same problem with part of the bearing being stuck on the hub spindle. Used an angle grinder to make a diagonal channel on the bearing, then used my air chisel on the channel to get it rotating and it moved slightly outwards. Changing chisels, I was able to get it off without damaging the spindle. Need to be very careful not to grind into the spindle. Was a very difficult job, factory bearing and hub from 2010, lots of corrosion due to Canadian winters and roadsalt. My first time doing a bearing replacement, and it was a success.

I tighten it, spray some good ole go quickly spray on shaft, go answer the persistent phone.When I get back it I usually can tighten more or a strike on the bolt head of the tool and it's away. Even with an acme thread have found rattle guns hammer action can bind threads whereas a smooth crank on it doesn't. But there is always the exception to every rule, but as you say, we have the solution!

I like your ingenuity you used to remove the race from the hub.

I see one improvement to make to the grappler, replace those set screws with thumb screws.

I was thinking of putting some wing bolts in there actually! Good call.

Then take a soldering iron to the box so it will fit and the lid will shut

nice to see a proper mechanic, if that was taken to most garages in the UK they would have wanted a new hub and stub axle, there are not many mechanics left anymore only 'Fitters' ,well done

My tip for those snap rings is to always plan on replacing it. Run around the old one with the torch will take the springy-ness out of it making it less of a missile. For one heavily rusted in the groove it will loosen it up there also. Tapping it with a punch while heating and cooling will loosen it up also. The stubborn ones may require a couple applications of fire but they always give up.

I was surprised they used ball bearings in that hub. I enjoy your vids. You are funny when things don’t work quite right.

@garysgarage3669 7 жыл бұрын

Your video's are the best on the internet. I have a Harbor Freight bearing puller. First time using it, the bearing moved maybe a 1/4 inch and the threads pealed off the forcing screw. Harbor Freight sold me a new one at thier cost. Again, same thing the first time using it. Last week I did wheel bearings and I put the new bearing in the freezer for a while. They pressed it like butter. Thanks

Oh man bummer about the HF kit. Makes you wonder how any one even uses them!?

@ghavila1766 7 жыл бұрын

Replace that threaded bolt with a piece of grade 8 threaded rod and nuts from www.mcmaster.com and you will not have to worry about it again, also use a thrust bearing instead of just washers. Never had a problem after that.

did you see my video I did on adding the bearing?

@Acc0919mc 7 жыл бұрын

I used a knockoff pitman arm puller and it did the exact same thing. I had more metal shavings then progress

@garysgarage3669 7 жыл бұрын

Yes I did, I did add a thrust bearing to both and I lubed them well.

Sorry haven't watched all vid but why not just a cut off wheel across the bearing inner race & crack it with a chisel to get it off the hub ?

Trust me, it's a lot more fun without the rust. First being from Pittsburgh and now living in Arizona. RUST SUCKS!!! My pal Max is from Montreal and now lives here in Phoenix too. He's a professional Lexus mechanic and thanks God everyday that he no longer needs to deal with rust.
