Awesome video! Way better than diyer vids. I am a mechanic myself and approve. It was a bearing puller kit I am using not a press but principles will be same push outer bearing race when pushing bearing into knuckle, push inner bearing race when pushing knuckle and bearing back onto hub, circlip orientation and bearing orientation for wheel speed sensor(it is a wheel speed sensor right? not abs sensor? as the ASC/DSC systems use it as well? and reports speed to the ECU?) all good stuff though

My only question, i have a wheel bearing adapter kit somewhat like hub grabber but less expensive. On my bmw with lug bolts I am able to put a bearing seperator behind the hub, and press the hub out by reinstalling the lugs into wheel hub pushing aginst bearing seperator behind it to pull hub out of bad bearing, leaving the knuckle and the bad bearing race still on the vehicle. Then use the kit to remove bad bearing race in knuckle while knuckle is still on(sometimes must remove have shaft from diff on rear or remove knuckle from strut on front to get spindle end of axle shaft out of bearing to make room for kit though), use kit to press new bearing in, and kit to press hub back in all with knuckle still on vehicle or if front bearing mostly still on vehicle. 

On cars with lug nuts instead of lug bolts however i have not yet found a good way to remove the hub from the bad bearing first with knuckle still on car, and therefor am required to take knuckle off. On the bmw with lug bolts, using the kit and leaving knuckle on the car saves A LOT of time over having to pull the knuckle and I am wondering if you know of any way to pull the hub from knuckle with it all still on car for cars with lug nuts instead of bolts. Thanks!

This is definitely the best, most comprehensive video on how to r/r wheel bearings and pressed-in hubs.

@williamhoward7121

Amazing! Accurate yet concise, very rare on the net!  I'm sure you just saved me a headache with the paperclip tip.  Thanks!!

@eartotheground121

Great presentation and great tip on the 12 o clock position for abs sensor...Thanks

@davidrobinson4797

Thank you so much!! I do my own work and rely on Google and Youtube to assist me. Being able to determine which orientation the bearing goes in with a paper clip is something I haven't been able to find out until today. Additionally, the note on the circlip placement is something I would have fell victim to, not realizing the sensor will utilize that space. Thanks alot. If I find out the bearing I have won't hold a paper clip on either side, I won't have to have ruined a bearing when took it out.

@garydavison5291

I've just puchased a front bearing for my ford mondeo, couldn't decide which way round to fit it as both sides were the same. The paper clip trick was very useful to ID the abs ring. Thanks.

@tam1381

Hey always remember ABS sensor never come out that easy...
Always remember.

@customcruiserroy

Thank you for the video! Auto place down the street wants $560 to do one side.  The car is only worth about $500.  LOL!!  I found an auto shop that will press on and off bearing for $30.  Thanks for saving me money and saving this car!!

@hansiwattis3975

I really need to learn how to press in the new wheel bearing correctly. I work as a "student" at a workshop and i allways mess up this part big time. Could you show in dept?

@KR9970-k5f

Hi,
On my toyota sienna we just replaced the front bearing. After the replacement my car steering wheel vibrates if I go over 60. 
Please note that the mechanic reused the old nuts.
Any idea what could be the problem?

@Nards_1997

I am a newer tech, never had to do one of these yet, but when I encounter one I will know how. Thanks.

@clarkie005

Always wondered does it matter which way you press out the bearing from the knuckle? I.e. Inboard to outboard or vice versa.

@gerglmuff

can you press to hard? i finally bought all the stuff to do this, and my first two attempts both the replacement bearings are dead. i pushed from the outside ring on the bearing -> knuckle press, and i pressed only on the inside race when pushing the hub -> bearing. 

the only thing i can think of is pushing to hard on the hub -> bearing press and getting one of the inside races wrong.

@tightgame9769

What size press are you using? Also, i would have loved to see how that bearing seperator worked in conjunction with the press. There aren't any videos that address this.

@salescow4946

Hi. Do SKF front-wheel hub bearing assemblies come with the bearing already on the hub or is it two separate pieces in the box? I have a 2005 Volvo V50 2.41, front wheel drive. So far, all the information I've found regarding installation shows the bearing and hub as two separate installations. When I look at  the sales material on front-wheel SKF assemblies for my car, the bearing is already on the hub so I'm wondering how that would be installed.

@6527662

Great video! Im just wondering what size bearing splitter/ in race seperator is most common one? cuz there are loads of them. starting at 30-50mm and ending with 105-150mm? how do you know which one is the best pick?

@GarageFit60

Good video! How far in does the hub get pressed? Does it get pressed in until it stops?

@isaalb33

Hi thank you for this video but I was wondering, where I can buy those bearing and race drivers?

@kennextechnical8561

What if the press in bearing is not magnetic. The one i'm installing (not a SKF part, sorry) has a metal seal on one side and a black rubber seal on the other. I'm trying to determine which side goes into the outside of the steering knuckle.

@GusMahn

Is there any reason why a bolt in drive hub bearing (rear) can't be used on a non-drive axle (front) if the mount face to hub face dimensions and bolting patterns are identical?  The car in question is an '05 CTS-V.
