Wheel Bearing Install with Harbor Freight Universal Bearing Tool BMW 325i Rear Front

[Pdizzlecc]

Thank you for posting this, I have to do my bearings on my 330i, I know they are a different size but I'm going to give this kit a shot. I've been eyeing it for a while and did my wife's bearings the way that you did it in your older video's. Thank you for posting quality videos. Also when you push the hub back in make sure the backing plate is against the bearing, if it isn't the rear inner race can separate from the bearing and destroy your new bearing

@Pdizzlecc Thanks for the comment!

You'r rite about that Harbor Freight Bearing kit. it Also works on a lot of other stuff mine has More than paid for its self already. i got mine about 3 years ago for $79.00 >Nice Demo<

[edzgarage]

@rickboh Thanks for the comment!

[fettler56]

Some useful stuff in both videos. The reason why the first bearing you put in did not last more than 20k miles is you installed it by pulling it in against the inner race. This treatment is almost guarranteed to "rime" (that is put a small flat on them) the balls in the bearing consequently it doesn't last. You should ALWAYS install a bearing into the hud by pulling it in on the outer race

[edzgarage]

@fettler56 You could be right. Thanks for the comment!

Nice video Ed. I was thinking of adding that bearing removal kit to my tool collection. looks like it worked pretty well for you so guess I will pick one up.

[edzgarage]

@619DioFan Thanks for the comment! You'll like the bearing remover. Mine has paid for it's self on the first job.

What happens if I have a bad wheel bearing?

[edzgarage]

@xdarkdragonx01 The sound from the bearing is LOUD and obnoxious. If it get's real bad you could damage the hub. 

[ShawnCFarm]

Thats alot faster then what I do.

[edzgarage]

@ShawnCFarm I have a lot of practice lol

[IHcubcadet]

nice job. You should have good luck with that Timken bearing. I like to use them SKF, or FAG I once bought some cheep bearings for the mower deck spindles on the toro i used to have. they only lasted a year. I guess you get what you pay for.

[edzgarage]

@IHcubcadet Thanks Buddy! I hope this one lasts a lot longer.

[tilou32]

where i can buy a bearing kit like this one ?

[edzgarage]

@tilou32 Harbor Freight is where I got mine.

[Needmorehorsepower]

Nice work ed are these the 1s you did last year? you had some real slick install tool not that

this didnt work great or maybe this is the 1 im thinking of

[edzgarage]

@Needmorehorsepower Yep, this is the same bearing on the same car. I did the job last time with home made tools from the plumbing store.

[mbyr31]

Good work Ed! I don't mind some Harbor Freight tools....Especially the ones you will only use a couple times...Ever.

Hopefully you get more than 20k on that bearing!

Great vid bud

[edzgarage]

@mbyr31 I hope I do too Matt. Now I have all the correct tools so next time it should be breeze. Thanks Matt!

[michaelovitch]

Are there skf or nsk brands in your country ?

They are very good quality and mounted from factory here.

[edzgarage]

@michaelovitch I have seen those brands. I hope I don't need another one for a long time.

[mallydangerous]

Hey Ed, just went to Harbor Freight to pick up that bearing tool. And look, it's on sale now for $89.99. $10.00 savings! What recession?

[edzgarage]

@mallydangerous That's great! I need to go get $10 back lol

[mallydangerous]

@edzgarage Also, I meant to ask you if you want a link to the "BMW TIS Online Repair Manuals" website. It's been floating around BMW forums so I wasn't sure if you have it bookmarked already. The URL is tis . spaghetticoder . org (remove the spaces, of course).

[edzgarage]

@mallydangerous Thanks! I'll take a look at the site.

[chox2001]

I like the huge hex nut on the bearing tool thats easy to get the tools on it. great video very informative.

[edzgarage]

@chox2001 Yeah, that nut was a big help. Thanks for the comment!

[djverhulst]

Wel spend money for the tools, no more asking a shop to remove the barring and pay for it., how much mile did drive this BMW that the barrings are worn out ?

[edzgarage]

@djverhulst This bearing only had about 20k miles. At least now I can replace the next one easy lol

[craig1974]

i like that bearing tool

[edzgarage]

@craig1974 Thanks Craig, it works great.

[fatass721]

arent u supposed to grease up the bearing real good so it doesnt destroy itself? just asking

[edzgarage]

@fatass721 You can't grease these sealed bearings. They come greased, ready to install.

[imacutube]

Job well done on the Beemer and an even better job shooting the video. I know how difficult it is to get a decent two dimensional image when doing vehicle repair.

[edzgarage]

@imacutube Thanks for the comment! It is hard to get the camera in a place that shows everything, sounds good, and is not in the way.

[VE9REJ]

I had done the same with mine , those made in China bearing just never lasted ,untill I bought the oem parts , never yet had trouble with bearings .Nice Job Ed .

[edzgarage]

@VE9REJ Yep, no more cheap Chinese parts when it's this much of a hassle to do the job. Thanks Reg!

[krupter]

Nice one and Harbor Freight has the tool on sale for $89 right now

[edzgarage]

@krupter It is a good kit for that price.

[MagicCadillac]

That's cool that you can do that job all by your own, if I wanna do that I'll go to the garage. Great job.

[edzgarage]

@MagicCadillac Thanks Kay!

[805ROADKING]

Fine job Buddy!! Good tools pay for themselves eh!!☺

[edzgarage]

@805ROADKING Thanks Everett! Yes, good tools make these jobs "almost" enjoyable lol

[tom58c]

I need to invest in a good kit like this for our camry. Thanks for the video.

[edzgarage]

@tom58c It does a great job Tom and the kit is pretty cheap too.
