Bro put up a how to on something he knows nothing about 😂 holy hell

100 dollar no way . Wheel seal is like $40 and oil is like $12 and gasket . Plus brake cleaner.

No es necesario poner silicon por que cuando tira aceite no lo tira por ahi

So what size socket is he using to remove the bearing nut

[MrAdoh]

The STEMCO spindle nut comes with instructions for torquing. 200 lb-ft, 3 spins. Loosen then torque to 100 lb-ft, 3 spins. Then loosen 1 face mark on the nut and install the keeper.

45 minutes for a wheel seal? PFFFF!!!! i can tell that you have zero mechanical experience
just taking a seized drum off will be over 45 minutes

Big shops take longer beacause the do it right like torquing the nut to seat the Wheel bearing. A 3 step process

You have no idea what your talking about huh

[albycortez]

You did absolutely everything wrong here

[TreeGliz]

First, you didnt clean anything (sould fully inspect clean bearings, races and spindle), Second you put silicone on a sealing surface (with the wheel seal) completely unnecessary and takes way more time for the next guy since hes gotta remove all that silicone, Third you didnt even torque the spindle nut down properly, hack job here

It 100% wouldn’t take hours for that axle to cool off after welding. Maybe 20 minutes

[staffordshires]

Never washed the bearings? And packed them with grease before installation? There is always dirt that gets into the inner bearing when removing the old axle seal.. I’d be cautious if these mechanics that take shortcuts like this.

[albycortez]

So many things wrong within first 5 minutes 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[JuanPerez-whsb]

100 dollars for the wheel seal including parts . Very low price

[miken]

Horrible job!!! Hammering the spindle like that is a no no!!! And then adding rtv silicone to spindle….i cant believe this guy…..did he torque it???

[joeball]

Grease packed wheels are a bitch to work on

[stevenmarcy]

45 minutes if you don't give a dam

[midwfreig]

Whole process was informative and easy to understand the only comment/sugestion I have please clean that old oil and maybe even repaint whole back part of it so it does look "properly" done, plus if you leave like that your driver will have hard time convincing DOT officer that the seal has no leak and has been replaced recently. Good luck, drive safe.

No need to put silicone on spindle where seal sits on. First time see somebody doing that with silicone.

I use grease and oil ;) grease on the bearings real nice
