Windstar Wheel Bearing

[seeya205]

Great video!  It would be more useful to know the socket sizes. You can over torque a wheel bearing. I have done it! I did not notice until the bearing started making noise a month later, took it to a shop and was told it was way to tight!

[elgiro15]

Love watching your video, I wish I had a mechanic like you around my area.. Just a request if you can ever do a video on how to change wheel bearing on Honda/Acura on any model after 1999 I think that's when they started using pressed wheel bearing on most of their model.

[mkblackmart]

What size socket is that for the big retaining nut on the outside?

[jsieao203]

Great video! Very helpful. I might add that if you are doing this on a vehicle that has spent it's life in a rust zone, things may not go as smoothly! I had a little difficulty, but got the job done with the confidence from this video. Thanks again!!

great video !!!!!!! thank you

[candy74cane]

awesome video lot of help

[googmhan]

Great video. Thanks alot

[TheBeesnutz99]

you dont have to pop the LCA out...use a extension with or without a swivel socket.. but great video



[eriklynden]

Thanks :)

Great video- glad people are willing to take the time to teach

[SCARBAND]

i dont know why you had to pop out the lower control arm. should be able to get to those bolts without all the extra work.

[waykoala7]

good video if you have a windstar with 3 bolts holding the hub on. if not, you have to take the whole assembly off. (take upper ball joint off and strut loose and bring whole assembly to machine shop)

[kevintyczka]

What an awesome video. Thank you.

[2mariebl]

Thank you for posting this video.

[scasimel]

what size is that hub nut?

[AGParadise101]

THANK YOU

[KevinMillard68]

you might want to put the ball joint and the axel ot the proper tourque settings, if you dont youll regreat it .. other wise not a bad video but tourque settings are criticial

[foxdmulder]

SHiny, chrome like finish, yummy.....

[j0angel]

Nice video, lots of information.

[mikeyvankoney]

nice vid. very informative.

[seapeddler]

How many miles on the oild bearings?

[wafrederick]

You cannot strip the thread and overtighten the axle nut.I tighten everything the German torque spec: good and tight.Most shop do not use a torque wrench since it is a waste of time and tighten the bolts with an impact.I can prove it and the warning not torqueing the axle nut is full of bs.Says you can do damage to the wheelbearing which is full of BS

[silmaur77]

good job!!!

[OHSOOOFLY]

Wow you must have stripped the shit out of the anxle and nut threads. Why not put a little copper coat in the berring to strut hole and on the axle nut threads and you can turn that nut on by hand not use an impact gun. You should also tourque all those fasters not shoot them on with the airgun.

[kingnard17]

@OHSOOOFLY so u should use a impact gun to take off the bolt, but not put it on correct??

[OHSOOOFLY]

@kingnard17 Its just that there is tourque specs for most bolts, and its the lazy guys who just use the gun. Im sure its not the right way to do it, just this guys kinda lazy that way. Also by not using the right amount of tourque you can have the improper load on the wheel berring... Just dont be lazy and you will be fine.

[seapeddler]

@OHSOOOFLY Don't the make an air ratchet that has torque adjustability?

[gordon1241]

@seapeddler There are calibrated air tools used to tighten fasteners to a specific torque setting, but they're mostly reserved for industrial assembly usage, as they are very expensive.

[jabird73]

@OHSOOOFLY

there is no compressive load on that type of wheel bearing. 

[cddragonslayer]

Great Video guys, very helpful. Does the new wheel bearing come pre-greased or do I have to do it? I have a 2001 Windstar that I was going to tackle soon. Thanks

[rabqaiser]

[kawa7900]
