packing wheel bearings

[greginterrupted]

Wow, I am ampressed man. At the superior technical knowledge, the southern drawl, and the expert commentary:

W:Now how are you going to get that off your hands?

M:Now, don't you worry about that yet.

Very nice. It seems that I was not tightening the nut enough. I tried it your way and it is fixed properly. Thanks....

[tse82]

is it just me or does he sound like cal naughton jr from talladega nights?

[1wicked2008]

thanks just the video i was looking for the right way

[kisscatman]

Just did my 87 chrysler 5th ave today. Just wanted to make sure I did it properly as the Haynes manual said. Looks like I'm OK!! TY

[Daminion1000]

Very helpful video, I did my front bearings on my dodge ram and it was just as easy as in the video and felt confident doing this although I am not a mechanic. Everything took me about an hour and saved a ton in labor at the local shop. Thank you

[skaaltel]

great vid. thanks for uploading

[laskt9]

the person holding the camera is more concerned about the mess. excellent video. thanks

[ultrachasersfan]

Excellent video, takes a lot of the guess work out of the job.

How did mom like the lotion???/

I've done a lot of wheel bearings and brakes too over the years. I love youtube, I've been packing the grease the hard way. My only suggestion for you would be to invest in a box of gloves. I stated using them 20 years ago. If was hard to get used to them at first, but now I won't work on anything dirty without them. Saves time, and if you change them frequently, you have a fresh hand to keep your critical parts clean. Great video, some said it was your daughter, but I am guessing son.

Your video was all over the place. I could hear him talking but the when he would say for example, "now do it like this" the camera was moving around focused on something else all the time. I tried to follow his voice, but the point of watching this video was to be able to see it! hence, a video. Not trying to mean, but I was quite disappointed. Thanks for the attempt ,

Great Video, Thanks !

[rcaston19]

Thanks

Good job! I replaced the steering bearings of my motorcycle and they are very similar to wheel bearings but they work to very low speed. For packing the grease inside of the cage, i use a syringe but i did not with you, do you think that my bearings can ruin? Or my procedure is equally valid?

Thank you very much and escuse me for my english

[rcaston19]

I believe your procedure is just fine.

[brettknoss]

@rcaston19 if it works you could put a grease nipple on a syringe needle and you would have an attachment for your grease gun.

[rcaston19]

@brettknoss I guess I could but this method is quick.

[Grannyhauenstein]

Thanks for the info, but not to pick on your daughter, but the camera work was shakey at times and hard to see what you were doing.

[mxrev134]

LOL I love the woman's commentary

[WannaBEEfarmer]

Nice Job.

Glad I found your video. Now I don't have to make one.

Thats the way my dad taught me.

Thanks

[glencraig1976]

very good video nice work

[classiccaprice2]

its time to pack the wheel bearings...

[70076NUD]

I am doing my Mazda B2200 today. I like the way you took your time with this video. I was able to follow along. I so thank you for this. In my book you are a smart fellow.Others try to be too slick (hehheh)(grease pun) but aren't as good as this video.

You have helped me for sure.

[donovanknifeman]

my dad taught me that when we did it to our truck

[cddragonslayer]

Can you tell me how to do the rear bearings on a 97 dodge ram 1500 2wd.

It has drum brakes. thanks

[rcaston19]

You need to pull the axles. Nothing to pack. Your rear bearings are lubed by the differential oil. Consult a manual.

[cddragonslayer]

@rcaston19 wow, I guess I'll leave that part to the professionals. Thank you for the information and keep up the great videos!

[scatpack440]

@rcaston19 Check a manual, you need to grease your wheel bearings, the axle seal is inside the axle housing to stop the oil from going into your brakes. The bearings need to be greased.

[cddragonslayer]

I'm not a mechanic and have never done this until the other day. I had some wobble in my front wheels of 1997 dodge ram 1500. I stayed up the night before watching youtube vids and the next day I did both front bearings with no problems with new bearings and grease. I felt really good afterwards and probably saved myself a few hundred bucks from a shop. Although it took me about 3 hours as I was taking my time making sure I didn't miss anything, the job was a piece of cake.

[Yankee10021]

THANK YOU! I have worked on my own car for years but for some reason I never packed wheel bearing Great help and I'm ready to do it.

[LupinTh2nd]

great video

[danielclack22]

Great video! Thanks.

Definitely take a look at the one expert village did. How long do you think his bearings will last??lol

[uSoBayArea]

best one that i saw on bearings. the expert village ones was annoying. they took forever not 1 video but many,,,and not even numbered. can you give me the methods on doing this on a 97 GMC yukon>?

[NiCh0li]

Good vid. about time somebody did a vid on how to pack bearings the right way.
