How to Repack Grease & Adjust Wheel Bearing in Cars : How to Adjust Wheel Bearing Nut

[pureluck30]

Check your cars service manual. Procedure do vary for adjusting/seating bearings. The last thing you want to do is repeat the job again do improper procedures. Sometimes they call for a torque specification to be applied.

For Ford trucks the final factory torque on the final setting is 17 inch pounds

Good enough for us shade tree mechanics. They wanted 500 bucks to change my rotors.

"there is no torque specification for this" last i check there was, some use a inital torque specc to set the bearings then loosen and snug it back hand tight. Some have a outright torque specc for its final lock down.

i do not no who taught him how to do wheel bearings but u need to put a slight preload on the bearing,#2 u don't need to put grease in the bearing cap just wasts it,#3 a good mechanic does not use a carpenters hammer to do mechanical work use a ball pein hammer,this man needs to be taught how to be a mechanic,i have been a mechanic for 60 odd yrs. just my nickles worth.

your the best man you show the steps and make it so anyone can understand and do these things at home thanks for saving me money on the little jobs so when the big jobs come down the road i can afford to have them done

I always use a spanner wich is the right size,instead of a PLUMBERS tool called plier

I mean damn.....it would be nice if these videos were numbered. Where is the second part?

This idiots test will not work with sandwich rotors. take your rotor off and try to wiggle the hub.

Dont you think you should tell people to clean the gress off the rotter?

@l0l0lol0l

thats in the next video

where is my coffee!

overtighten the wheel bearing to set the bearing, then back off till you have the correct tightness.

There is too a torque spec. Older chryslers for example with front drums require 90 in/lb torque when spinning the wheel forward. When the wheel stops, back off the castle nut one castleation, install the cotter pin, then you're done.

[drh4683]

He put more grease in the cap than he did on the wheel bearings!!!!  I don't like seeing mechanics use channel locks either!! Use an adjustable wrench or proper sized open end so you don't hack up the hardware with gouge marks.

[hiwayman0]

I can not believe that you are using chassis grease to do this. THIS IS WRONG!! Please people, use ONLY wheel bearing grease which usually comes in a small tub. Put the wheel bearing in the palm of your hand overfill the center and press until it comes through the outside roller cage, then spin and work it through. DO NOT skimp on grease. Put plenty in the rotor cavity between the inner and outer bearing too.

[ihatedemocrats11]

how often do you have to do this to your vehicle?

[hiwayman0]

Once a year is good, but probably a little overkill. Spin the rotors when you replace disc pads. If there is no play or rough resistance in the hub, throw a small glob of fresh grease in the dust cap and let it go.Remember, no torque on the spindle nut, just snug contact, and put in the cotter pin. This has always been a good guideline for me.

@hiwayman0 fuck you prick

Use a rubber mallet to tap dust caps into place!
