Just used this technique today to replace a wheel bearing, it worked great and saved my body from a beating. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks! I think I may need x-rays for my wrist after the weekend but I was STILL able to get it done after I used this tip!

This is a super good video! I have never used one but I am glad you posted it! I know I will use one eventually. Any tips to take it easier on our bodies is appreciated

Used these for many years. Never seen this. Helped me remove a stubborn hub. 🍻 Thank you

Thanks for the tip... I used a rag and I had a10 times more power... so it eventually worked!!

I know this is an old video, but I’m trying to help my mom, so I just gotta ask. Will this work on most cars? I just replaced brakes/rotors, and axles on my mom’s 2011 Toyota Camry SE with the 2AR 4cyl. At this point I’m sure the noise at 50mph+ are the wheel bearings. I just don’t want to disassemble everything, because I don’t have a press to remove the bearing. Would it be hard to insert the new ones with the knuckle still on?

Amazing idea!! Great video, right to the point.

A simple tip like that, makes me reassess my ability to think outside the box... seems that I stay in the box most of the time! =)

[SWMARTINA]

Wow, are those the ball bearings actually falling out at the end of the video ?

[darwindropmazda]

Your a genius bro! I would have never thought of that lol

[robertortega]

Thank you so much for this info
Your the man

[jerryrog]

Great video! Quick and to the point. Great idea too! Wished I'd seen it before I broke my hand off and cussed out my wheels!

[katchupoy]

Oh man. Too late... I can't feel my arm now hahaha

[Hahehhwgajshah..]

You need to take up knitting.Much gentler on the hands.Or toughen up.Good tip for those with fragile/delicate hands.😂
