Wheel Bearing Replacement. Learn how to replace a wheel bearing hub assembly. This is a 2007 Mercury Mountaineer, Ford Explorer but the process will be very similar for replacing any wheel bearing hub assembly with an axle running through it. I was quoted over $650 at the stealership to do the job again so save a ton of money and do it yourself and do it properly so it won’t fail again.
Here is the wheel bearing hub assembly I used: http://www.mevotech.com/product/hub-assemblies/

What brand is the bearing assembly and is it a top long lasting made in the USA

Would an impact driver work in place of a breaker bar?
Why does it seem like most car fix vids (no matter how useful) have a substantial amount of downvotes?

His face!
Excelente vídeo aula Obrigado!
I'm going to add, from experience, that on my car's the big axel nut or whatever it's called is a lock nut that becomes dysfunctional when used once.
I had one car I replaced the bearings on with (so I thought) cheap ones. I wasn't surprised when I had the symptoms a little more than a year later. But guess what? I could almost take the nuts off by hand. They had come loose. I was surprised, didn't know if til much later they were locking nuts. It might have been that the bearings weren't bad, just loose.
It happened again, different car, two years ago. Tire shop said they couldn't do a wheel alignment without replacing the bearings, which weren't that old. That's when I found out about the locking nuts. They're not readily available where I am so just used loc-,tite.
If you reuse the nuts, it is not a suggestion but a must to do something to ensure the nuts don't come loose.
I like your voice tone on your older videos A LOT more. Sounds less like you are trying to sell a Sham Wow! Love the videos either way just something I noticed.
How does one know how much torque you are using with a breaker wrench?
Maybe worth mentioning that's the easy type of front bearing, the one that just unbolts instead of needing to be pressed.
GREAT! All this time I was like he is FUGLY and has pot marks on his face probably SH*T brown eyes and handicapped. Turns out Chris has a new fan and NOW MY WIFE likes him more than me.. Damn Chris what's WRONG with you? You fix cars, the voice of a radio jockey cant see any flaws but you hide your face. FINALLY the wife set me straight, she said you hide your face so people can pay attention to the videos and not you. MISSION was accomplished, now Chris needs to FIX my wife seeing your face. Dear Diary will my wife ever love me again? And no Honey I don't know nothing about your mothers car STOP asking me to fix stuff I CANT! 50/50 Marriage, I dirty clothes she washes them. She cooks, I eat! What more can a woman want??? I know what she wants now….. CHRISFIX
If you have a gear puller laying around, it makes the spline easy and safe to push in. The hardest part about doing this job for me was getting the new hub in. I had a hard time getting the bolts at the back started. Wired wheeled the bolts on by vice and it was much easier. Thread locker is also lubricating before it dries
He looks exactly how I imagined he would
When he unscrews the screw, try the other side by pressing the key from above so that your back does not hurt
Man this makes me want to buy the tools myself. Mine are rusting and I just got my rotors and breaks done.
I saw ur face
I enjoyed watching this vid. The mechanic used correct tools, including breaker bars, torque wrenches and also used fair PPE to make sure he was protected during the job. THis was viewed without a pause
i replaced my wheel bearing but dodnt realise there was a wrong way to install them lol. IF you have an ABS.
Would this work on a rear wheel bearing too?
ok you did most of a face reveal, so why cant you do the full reveal at 10 mil subs
Hey Chris fix love your videos..I have a 97 lincoln town car my horn will not stop blowing when hooked up what can the problem be
How you use that IPad to Dianostic the car?
