Anyone who hasn't followed 1A before they are the best I have watched bar none. I have been a mechanic for nearly 50 years and when I get into something new this is where I go.

A couple of things for anybody trying this. Be careful tightening down that 10 mm bolt holding down the speed sensor because I over tightened it and broke the boat right off. Also, trying to get the old hub assembly off was one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done on a car. I’ve never sworn so much in my life. I kept hitting it with a hammer and used about half a can of PB blaster and I got her off.

Very good video. Very detailed in every step, and even gave us the torque specs.

Great video. Glad to see a video using tools home mechanics use. Excellent explanation and demonstration.

Excellent video. Just replaced front bearing on a 2012 SRX in a couple hours. Easy to follow instructions. First 1A part buyer from 1A auto. Shipping was fast and arrived without damage. Will definitely be a returning customer in the future. Keep making videos like this one.

Thank you for doing these videos. Excellent step by step processes.

I like how you show that these repairs can be done with minimal power tools. If you looking at how to do this repair, you probably don’t have a full set of shop tools, so it makes the video more useful.

Excellent vdo as usual....your vdo's can make even a 5yr old repair anything 😆

Wheel Nut Torque 150 NM or 110 ft lb from the 2013 SRX
Owner's Manual Not 140ft lb as stated in the video at 15:50.

Awesome video. Thank you!! You saved me $500 doing this myself!!

[tomgrieff]

What is the shim for, and what happens if it is missing?

[TheHamadanners]

Loosen the axle before you remove the wheel . Use the axle nut flush with the axle to prvent mushrooming add antiseeze to the back of the new baring so itz easier to remove next time

[chadriddle]

A+ video, I certainly referred to it several times !

[junkforadam]

Thank you so much! Easy DIY car project ordering the parts from 1A Auto and following this video!

[Starscreamxx]

Damn lol after watching these videos, I wish I had all the tools I need to do this myself :(. That is why I got to take my car to a shop. If only I had the madness of it all!!!! lmao Great videos keep em coming :)

[Lindenbum]

I always put a little anti-seize on the hub and some spline grease on the axle before I reassemble it. Sometimes their a bear to get off so the next guy should thank me. By the way the car looks clean enough to be a warranty job.

[darronmorse]

Great video! I had to put some heat to one of the rotor to hub screws. It would not budge but with the repeated heat it finally broke. Definitely need penetrant to get some of the hub bolts out. I could not have completed this without a slide hammer and a sledge hammer and this video.

[snap-off]

5:30 Unnecessary. The magnetic sensor sits BEHIND the reluctance ring, and cannot possibly be damaged by removing the hub or installing a new one.

BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL, SUPERB JOB. THANK YOU. I NEED TO DO THIS ON SRX 2012.
