HOW TO REPLACE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS without PRESS

HOW TO REPLACE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS without PRESS

The video is meant for entertainment purposes only. Do not Attempt!

Hey guys, in this video we demonstrated how we removed and replace the front wheel bearings on Honda Odyssey. It takes some serious work but we did not have a press. It is much easier with a press. This will work for many Makes and Models especially front wheel drive cars. Even some rear or 4 wheel drive will use the same concept. Make sure that you use good quality front wheel bearings so you do not have to do the job again in the near future.

For anyone doing this themselves please make sure you put it in the right way. The bearing comes with a plastic cover protecting the magnetic strip for the ABS( the ABS is usually a brown or black plastic ring on the one side. The non ABS side is just metal and usually has the brand on it). The ABS side needs to face towards the car otherwise your abs won't work! Also please do not hit the bearing with a hammer use a vice and the old bearing to push it in or use the old bearing on top of the old one and hit the outer ring of the old bearing with a hammer if you must. When you attach the hub also make sure that you use the old bearing to bush a force back from the other side otherwise you risk damaging the bearing. I hope my mistakes pay off for someone.

As an experienced mechanic I admire those guys. Never mind if that bearing could have been handled better. They did very well as that it was “doing so much with so little”. Imagine what they could do to a car in a well equipped workshop. Well done.

This is How you remove the front wheel bearings in the Stone Age after the Zombie apocalypse!

[ricardosom]

I’ve read a lot of people criticizing these guys for their method. I have seen a lot of videos from them specially that guy that’s talking, and this must have been his very first video or something because the rest I’ve seen him nowadays tools. I think this is a great video to give you an idea of what to if you need to get this kind of jobs done and you don’t have the rights tools on hand. Let’s say you’re out of town or somewhere you can’t get to your press or something like that. This is very useful video.

Super video, on replacing the front bearing. If a person is watching carefully, you may b able to also learn to replace the ball joints & possibly tie-rods. Highly educational & entertaining. Have been following you guys for a long time. Many thanx for helping DIY guys like us !!

I rented $420 press and removal tool with no instruction - wasted 2 hours, willing to pay $100 for auto shop to remove and press the bearing and hub and all the auto shops were too busy, spent over $300 on miscellaneous tools and failed miserably; and here you are with brute force. Dude, you are the man!

[Askyfullofeyes]

I can't thank you guys enough. You are thorough and fast teachers. Your channel is one of the most valuable resources I've had from the internet for sure

[jimmydrakopoulos]

You Guys are the best. Thank you for explaining this with limited amount of tools. I will wear safety glasses for the snap ring for sure. I think I can get the job done. Kudos to you!

[Dewey-wzny]

This reminds me of when I was young, knew a little, had lots of time and no money to buy the correct tools. I fixed my cars because I couldn't afford $75 hour shop rate or the dealer rates and I needed transportation for work. So I learned. I always wanted tools. Hats off to these guys for having the guts to show how to do it without the wallet to buy a tool that'll sit around collecting dust for a decade.

Respect to these guys. I removed my hub yesterday but paid a garage to remove and press hub and bearing.

[richarddesimone]

Hello, your bearing surfaces should be completely dry when installing. The oil you are applying will eventually cause it to slip inside the hub or vise versa, i learned this the hard way. Please dont make the same mistakes. INSTALL YOUR BEARINGS DRY!
Side note. Do not hit your bearing in with a hammer. You are rolling the edges and seperating the glue from the ruberseal holding the bearings inside the track this is making small holes for sand and moisture to accumulate in... use a press and bearing press install tool kit.
This will work for a few years. But be prepaired to do it again after all the shock caused to the bearing by banging and tapping..

[philmacdonald]

I felt like I needed to wear safety glasses while watching your video

[HackTM]

As soon as I saw that big ass hammer I already knew what was going on here LMFAO

[chancetolbert]

Thanks! I never thought about using the old bearing pieces to press the new one. Worked great and made my life easier

[johnmariano]

Thanks for this vid. Can't beat old school, it just simply works. When you're in the zone and in your flow state, nothing can get in your way. It takes creativity, guts, and experience for some things to get accomplished our way. These guys are pros in what they do and how they do it. Please do this with caution if you must. Well done!

[PurpleHelmet]

God this brings back memories - good job guys, getting shit done no matter what, with basic tools, love it!

[shwndh]

After watching this video, I bought a 12 ton press from Harbor Freight for $130. Thanx for the warning

[stevenwolfe]

I did this very same job a few days ago on a 2014 Ford transit connect. I have torches, 20 ton press, and bearing tools. It took me 3 hours start to finish, 45 mins just to get the piece of the bearing off of the spindle. I use a combination of torch, pullers, and eventually cut it with the wheel. I couldn't imagine tackling this job with hammers. Hats off for getting this done so quickly with basic tools. I feel useless now.

[kennymelton]

Man these guys have it going on. This job worked just as they showed. I had no issues. Did the job by myself. Followed all their steps. I used a vice and supported the piece a little better since I didn’t have anyone holding the parts. I did wear safety glasses since I can’t see without glasses. Nothing “blew apart” as I used my big hammer as some of the comments of others suggested. I did get my shoes dirt though! Thanks guys!
