How to Change a Wheel Bearing #02 (short and fast version) Learn to replace a pressed wheel bearing in a Ford, specifically a 95 Ford Windstar, but this method will be similar for all pressed bearing vehicles. The main steps are to take off the spindle nut, tire, brake caliper, and rotor. I installed a new bearing. During the process of installation I hit the bearing several times with the hammer. Actually I hammered the hub (with a plastic hammer though) it almost in 1/3, then used press, but didn't know I need to use a lip on the bottom. The center of the bearing came off on the bottom like for 1 mm. I placed the lip and made it even again with the hammer. The hub is rotating very good, but gives a slight grinding noise, not like the other one I replaced before, which rotates with more efforts, but doesn't make any sound. Should I replace that bearing with the slight grinding sound? Probably I shouldn't hammer it that much (though with the soft hammer. Thank you for the informative film.

Well done Chris, good job. I do have a problem with my front bearing, I will be grateful if you could help me figure out its problem. I was having a problem with my front bearing, they were torn and have a scratching sound coming out of them especially the left one. I do have Skoda Rapid 2015, I changed its front bearing set for the 2 front wheels and they were not just a bearing, it is a one set contains a flange along and welded to the bearing as one whole set that is compressed to the armhole. after changing them the scratching sound is gone and the car ran smoothly. I do have an ABS sensor error alarm, this alarm is continuous just after changing them. and when getting back to the mechanic, he removed the one with the sensor error and compressed a new one again and still I have the error. What shall be the real solution to this problem from your point of experience!

Thanks for the video man. Seems that in every forum 9/10 guys will say mind as well change the whole hub you're not savingmuch money etc for whatever reason. Fact is, wheel bearings are CHEAP compared to the whole hub. It will be a couple hundred dollars saved for me doing it this way. People make this repair seem so daunting but you've shown us that with the right tools it is simple enough for us driveway mechanics to do. Thanks!

Dude I swear iv watched all your newer videos but I never seen this one until I actually needed to know how to get this bearing out and back in. Can you recommend any way to get it back in without the bearing press tool? I'm a welder and I like to make homemade tools! Would love to send you some of my tools iv made they work better then most store bought tools!

Question Chris, I have a 1998 Toyota Camry that more likely has a bad wheel bearing, and I have another 1998 Toyota Camry that I had to retire because of an accident but the front wheel hub is perfectly fine, so my question can I just remove the whole wheel hub assembly from one car and put it on the other?

im watching this now thinking to myself chrisfix in 2020 would never do half of the stuff he just did like using the wood to get the new bearing in or holding the knuckle open with a screwdriver haha love your videos man

i just have one questions. upon removal of the hub the inner race comes out along with it. Do i have to worry about the hub pushing out the inner race of the wheel bearing when i go to press in my wheel hub?
reply

first of all remove ABS sensor to prevent damage. please use some tool for car repair because using pipe tool you made yourself rediculous. dont have to bee enginier but this job is crap: ): ): )

You didnt have to take the whole spindle off could of did the job while it was on the car and you said oil it some people say put it in the freezer. Ill be doing both.
