Come along with me as I swap out a customer front wheel bearing on his 2017 Colorado 4x4. The bearing was still ok but the ABS and stability light was on because of a failed magnet on the back of the bearing.

Well watch out there. Kitty Let's see we got this Chevy What year is this thing? 17. Calerano says Okay So the DBS traction later I think we did a video on this thing years ago, got 50k on it. Now it's way back here.
Okay, this thing maybe that's attraction. he is correct. They're propped up here so we can see what's going on. Let her do a auto scan here.
Looks like left front circuit and of course power steering because it's invalid data Received our history codes in here and they'll data received. Okay, let's go back out of here. We'll go right into the ABS control unit which our wheel speeds as we drive if. I remember right way back when it was a wiring issue there in the right rear.
if I remember correctly I have to look back to that video. pull up all these I'll get them all grafted out. We'll go for a ride. Okay, here we go folks.
Yeah, a few classic broken magnet. see how it's real jiggery on that left front. All right here. I'll pull over up here I'll show you it's got broken magnet.
we'll zoom in on that a little better and we'll go real slow and you'll see the pattern. Let's see, it'll go zero. Zero ten will probably be good enough. Okay, all right, let's see.
I'll go nice and slow here. So I'm just coasting ahead every time it comes to that broken spot. going to get that dip? I'm only going about three miles an hour here. Oh I guess you can see that on the other one.
Oh better move so we don't hit a mailbox. Let's see, we'll just coast along here. All right, So that's easy fix. That's your classic.
Ride it out. DM Magnum Go back. Usually visual inspection you can see these things. Half magnet falls off.
don't think I'll be able to show you. It's quite difficult to see up in there. but I can try but I see the section missing right there all the way? Oh gosh, it's missing almost half of it. Let me see if I can show you here some cameras right here.
So we're going to be looking right underneath the CV axle. right in this little crack. right up in. Let me try one finger here.
right up in that area and that little crack there where you see that? Okay, so let's see there. we have a magnet. Okay, might get spin around. there's a magnet.
It's all good. Everybody's happy, everybody's still happy. Boom. Now it's missing.
You can see where it's missing in it. Missing missing, missing both magnet. Okay, so we're missing that section right through there. I Don't know how this is focusing or not, but uh, y'all trust me folks.
trust me. So I called the Phillies saying you're done. That's what we're gonna do. Hopefully wrong.
What's this guy's first thing? Yeah? I got it. I am done I Quit. Oh yeah for sure. Thank you.
Yeah, it's a little stuck. This wasn't just screw. Come by Yeah mother lover, let's loosen things up here a little bit. Rattling the axle foreign.
Loosen up our screw a little bit. Hopefully it'll snap off or any other. Either way, it's coming out. Loosen her up. Very nice. Oh what do we have here folks? The 18 probably. let's break 18. Yes sir.
it's so bright I Need more power? We get back here with the half inch. Uganda Yes Ma'am Oh easy easy. anyway. Thor she don't play to push this caliper back on, but let's see if you can't get up in here.
let's go far. We just want to squeeze them a little. It's not enough. please.
There we go. Take that off. let her hang right by the hose. I'm kidding.
Come on. take the rotor off what holds this bearing on bolts probably. Yep. Oh, look at the CV axle might be right smacking away.
Again, let's have a look back here. Well, we have to give them a handy I'm gonna put something on here to keep the axle pushed in, see if we have enough room to get these out without pulling the whole spindle off or the whole knuckling. Anyways, and we're just going to use this to push on the axle here a little. Thank you.
Keep your held in. Oh fella. Hey now we're talking Now we have lots of room or at least more room you get a 13 threads stick through. makes it kind of a pain.
so there's that one. There's that one. How about this? Not a lot of clearance here. Wondering that'll probably work better than a regular impact swivel.
Plus it's super dangerous. You're playing with fire here. boy. you're gonna end up missing some teeth I think I can't talk now.
All right I Came right out. Oh my kid. No danger at all. foreign.
Get the ones on the other side. We'll push the axle back in. As far as we're there, there's that. Get the old swivel line in here.
Keep your face out of the way. Not bad, not bad. Foreign literally just popped out. Wow.
Wow. I Must be living right because that doesn't happen too often. It's almost like we're gonna carrying. Florida Take the bolts off and boom out she comes.
Okay, we'll give her a spin, take her out the rest of the way so it's pushing out kind of hard. foreign because that is full of grease in here and it slid right out. I Mean, look at that. but you see the magnet now so you feel it's missing from.
you know here to here that'll do I don't do donkey I'll do wow I got about three half cans of stuff kicking around. come on. Josh There always blame the other guy in the shop right from Chevrolet People's Republic of Korea that's how you know it's genuine. America apple pie, baseball and Chevrolet and Korea Well here we are.
See what we have now. I Did look at the service data because I was kind of surprised to see Greece in there and I'll be jiggered that that's what they do right from the factory. even talking on Thursday to put grease in there inside the knuckle I Can't believe it. First manufacturer I've ever seen do that.
I'm a Chevy guy now kidding I'm kidding, not a Chevy guy. So we're gonna do in coordinates with service data. We're gonna smear some wheel bearing grease in there all over the inside knuckle. They get one thing right and 500 other things wrong. but hey, whatever. We'll give them the points for this because that's really good. That's a really good job. Chevy The engineer should give himself a raise.
That baby started on there. come on baby. There we go guys. Sorry, we gotta get a bolt now I Put white plate on all these.
we'll get her, but wiggle that bearing back on that thing here. Kind of see what I'm doing here, but it'd be a little easier if the wheel wasn't turned foreign. I Tell you what, let's snug up the one we got. That way we can push that axle back in instead of all the rest of them in here.
We can do this without getting hurt. Oh I've seen that coming at me. high speed I Want it too tight? All right now. pick up that put some more lock tight on that one and then we'll put this little guy back on there.
Oh, we can give it a push, get the rest of our bolts in, hopefully because I'm gonna grab a different bolt here I Don't think it'll fit with the axle in the way. Negative: it does not. It hits I Know you can't see it. We have to trust me so we'll push it in.
hits a clamp on the CV boot. We probably should have put the bolts in before we put the bearing in. That would allow us some room almost there. There's that one lines up perfectly.
We'll get our third one here. I'll put that one in Maybe There we go. There's our third one. That one should light up and get started.
All right. Let me go put my plate on the one. I Dropped in the water here and there's that one. so all of them are started now.
I'll zip this one in a little bit. Almost gonna get it I Better put that on one duck. Okay, there's that one. snug this one just very lightly.
okay. Buick Beautiful. I Don't know if we'll be able to turn it. Oh, we kind of.
even with the axle push in. look at that. Let me snug these two up over here. I'll do it where you can't see it because that's always helpful if you're trying to learn something.
Okay, let's go get a torque wrench and fat inspectors maybe I'm not so sure we're gonna be able to get in there. Uh I don't know about this. Mr O Maybe a little extension? Oh yes sir. 96 I Think it said that's where we're going with it.
Anyways, there's one. I wonder if we can turn it a little bit more? So far as it goes, fella and we need a little less extension? All right, Little Guy Perfect. Boom. Oh stop.
Perfect. Perfect. All right. Rotator Around there it is boys foreign back or back office.
Give it a little Spritz of fluid film. make sure the inside of your rotor is clean. Wrong. Two different holes.
see. this one's on the Outer Edge this one's in the middle. Okay, let's be a couple applications. There is a torque spec on this about that finger tight angle anywhere. Take the caliper that you left dangling by the hose. Slide that little guy up in there baby. A little like tight on your bolts here. 59 ish.
All right Now we can crank them down all right. We're gonna go 38 degrees this time just for that low back mother. A pearl would say it ended up being two thousand 721 inch. Oh man, down there it is 190 something in here.
191. All right there it is, we're done. Foreign dash lights are out. Got all four wheels up here graphing I Don't be able to see a glare, but get out here on the big road.
Make sure you pump your brakes up, otherwise you're gonna get a little some good folks looking good foreign Chevy Colorado Wheel speed sensor issue there broken magnet super common on your GMS and your Chryslers and anything that uses that magnet where it's exposed to the elements. I'm really, uh, frothing in the mouth today trying to speak. We'll get it figured out. We always do the speech anyways.
Oddly enough, if I talk like a robot I can actually talk pretty well, so it's kind of funny. I guess I could default to that I won't show you right now because it's kind of comical. We'll save it for another time. Anyhow, take your time in that comment section.
Questions, comments, concerns, insty the Facebook Just my viewers I can do it. You can do it. Thanks for watching.
Caliper "hose"?!? I always thought that was the manufacturers rubber caliper hanger! Who knew?! 😂 😂
Feels like im in middle school again lol
It was genuinely YouTube comment sections that taught me never to let the calipers hang by the hose. First brake job I ever did on my car, I would have let it hang if it wasn't for the comments.
Love what looks to be "U0124" written on the back of your hand 😂
FYI: the "People's Republic of Korea" is North Korea.
On average how many cases of brake kleen do you typically go thru in a year, Probably should own stock in the company.
Wassup
It's weird you quoted the movie shrek but that's not whats weird. My kids call me daddy shrek(I'm 6ft 2) great video thanks for all that you do, keep it up 👍😁
Eric sound like he has a dental retainer or something.
Grease is great, but knowing GM, it was probably a mistake they tried to cover up.🤔
Perfect video to wind down the evening. Mentally cleansing to watch Eric figure something out. Especially since I'm about to replace the original hub assemblies on my 2001 Durango 2wd. I'm just now hearing the roar. Parts already here, just waiting on a nice day.
Whenever your customer uses the words "Only" and "Just" … you can count on that it's never only and just
"I'll do so you can't see it because that's always helpful when you're trying to learn something"
😂🤣😂🤣
Hey wait! You're Not a Chevy guy!? 🤣 Haha Just playin! Great job gettin this rig back Rollin quick! Thanks for sharing! 😎
Was nice 😃to see Luna 😺 again, she is an auto-cat🐱 of the SMA clan !!!! Keeping the rif rats 🐀out of the shop !!! That was an easy bearing removal 🛒and a quick 🕑install….didn't even finish my Krups cup of cherry chocolate flavored coffee !!! Easy and quick ones (jobs) are good to get now and then !!! I'll bet the SMA garage has a lot of loyal 👩👩👧👦👨👨👧👧customers who know great service when they get it !!!! Do you give out magnets, SMA little calendars, imprinted finger nail files, or business cards with "" 10% 💸💸Off On Next Service "" imprinted on the back of it – that will bring the customers🏎 back for sure !!!!!!! Good quality 🏆work on this and testing 🩺to boot !!!! Off to the next 🛻one – see Mrs. O. for the work 📑order !!!!!!!
Love ur Snap-Off torque wrench
I have a husky 3/8". Love it.
You poor guy that suffering succotash from the cartoons I feel sorry for you I'm starting to get used to it I like it
33k views in 4 hrs.
I've been watching your videos for awhile (they are awesome) I'm a diy as much as possible. I saw you own a Tundra in one of your videos awhile back, I'm going to be upgrading trucks. I've always been a Silverado guy but been looking at the 2010-13 tundras. I know they all break eventually…do you think the tundra has less issues?
Love that you use a torque wrench on brake and steering suspension components. I would too if I had the great business you have!
Eric, what did we do? Why do you treat us so disdainfully. For several videos now you have not started out by saying "Welcome viewers!"
Nice to see that Chevy improved the hub/rotor combo on the newer Colorados. In the older generation 4WD's, you have to pull the hub just to replace the rotor. Stupidest design I have ever seen. Also that gen seemed to wear hubs out super fast.
The serpentine sequence seems suspect.
Now you say it. 😂
What are you looking for from Instacart?
Thank you for this, Eric! I own a 2016 Colorado and it's nice to see how the front wheel bearings are replaced as I'm certain I will have to do mine someday. Love this truck. Thanks again! P.S. I hope your mouth doesn't hurt too much.
It would seem like a nobrainer with the grease,I always grease major components when replacing them Cheeres Eric. Hey by the way your speech is getting better.
Hey Eric I got a ? For you could you use the Astro rotor/drum puller to remove a hub? Or would it not go in far enough
you missing teeth already lol kidding
It's like what Ray gets every day. Why would the magnet rot away on a '17, yet have the hub come off that easy?
The brake hose end at caliper is damn scary. 5 years and 50k miles and it is that rusted!!! I know they use salt on the roads but so does GM. I guess Ford and Dodge probably rust at the same rate as they likely use same hose supplier.
The Numbers on the back your hand reminded me of when I was in high school. 👌
That brake hose see better days, that is a safety item that crimp is rusted out and looks weak.. I guess you will catch it the next inspection.
Best line ever. "This guys got a half-million dollars in his shop and he's using a crescent wrench."
I don't think the brake line fitting would have survived hanging the caliper. Man, the salt eats everything. I did see it was hanging on the "S" hook.
U0124
Hi, Mr. O. No detective work needed on this one. I like that torque wrench. Modern tech designed properly, unlike all the fasteners that break when used. Thanks for sharing! Stay healthy!
Don't worry. Chevy probably charged additional $750 for the grease in there.
I love my Crescent wrench. When my mechanic rotated the air in my tires, he talked me into buying a Metric Crescent wrench. Now I'm covered for domestic and foreign cars! 😉
Loving all your videos!
Chevy must've had issues with those failing during the warranty period to justify putting a tenth of a penny's worth of grease in there
Comment
Made my life easier. My Colorado is a 2017 Duramax 2.8 Eventually, I will find myself changing a front hub/bearing.
I deal with a lotta hinos down state, in there infinite wisdom they use rotor as the tone rings, so between the salt on the road, salt from ocean air and the high heat cycle from being overloaded constantly, the tone rings casted in no longer look like tone rings after a year or 2. If it even goes thru a set of pads before they need rotors again, it’s impressive.
Chevy ⚡️.
I kinda miss the old style pressed-in bearings. There's nothing like watching a guy swear when his mouth hurts and he talks funny.
Great job as usual. 90% of time on Chevys you don't have to take the bearing bolts all the way out, just turn the unit right and left to get the bolts lose. Just as easy with a Car Lift, but shade tree mechanic style it's the best way I found out. Awesome videos bro!
After watching several of your wheel bearing replacement videos, that was the easiest one your ever had to replace. Usually you're on the verge of some fanciful words to aid in removing a bearing that refuses to cooperate.
Your speech is also getting better, or you've decided to use fewer 'S' words.
Keep your videos coming, they are informative and a delight to watch.
It's sad the parts that can't be made in the U.S.A. and are chosen to be made in Korea or China or Taiwan or wherever.
I'm in Ca. And I fought a set of rear subaru bearing seized in the knuckle over a hour each side. Slide puller air hammer and PB Blaster and had ca. Plates
Seeing this Chevy/Dodge repair channel posting videos week after week brings me joy.
Always love watching an SMA video! There's a guy in Florida that's been putting up some very boring one's lately
Eric, how do you like that Challenger lift? Been looking at them to replace an old outdated and broken 1 that was in my shed when I bought my house couple years ago.
first time every t—, never mind where's my glasses.
You did that one to fast . Didn’t get to spend much time with Mr. O”.
ughhh bro? (best weed voice)
do you like ever get mad fun of for using air tools in 2023? those are like pretty old fashioned bruh
Always enjoy SMA videos. Educational and entertaining. More importantly is to see an ethical man demonstrate his skills with humor and dignity. Keep them coming Mr. O.
I like your hi tech caliper compression tool. I remember going with my dad to sears back in 1970 to buy one very similar. I still own it.
Hi Eric I love the vids you're so thorough and complete and it's really inspiring, even though I'm retired for years now. I wanted to let you know a mispronunciation you have going on and it's on nuclear check it out
Another great … and entertaining … video. Thanks Eric. The appearance of a crescent wrench helps us DIYers relate … a little anyway. I checked out the Pakistani Truck Repair YT recently. Now those guys know how to get a job done with the tools they have. Dressed in sandals and “togas” . Please keep your vides coming.
I come here for the knowledge…but stay for the humour…Love the videos Mr. O.!
Taught me a ton, brother. Keep it up and hang in there!
That knuckle side CV axle housing is absolute dog turds of rusty disaster. Glad I live in the SW of the US of A. The people's republic of California, to look like that after 5.5yrs of age, it would have to been parked in the ocean. We just bake every rubber anything off the bottom of the car and the top of the car, you don't need those damn rubber hoses anyway.
I think ALL manufactures should lube metal to meatal parts. Make someone's life better
Are those caliper bolts not torque to yield like the ones on my Camaro?
Speed sensor wire connector?
Interesting. Do a lot of recent vehicles come with NASCAR studs like that? (Also, are they still called NASCAR studs now that the Next Gen car has center-locks? 🤔)
Love the vids! The uga dugas! The animation makes it so much better!
wow on all the diagnostic tools you have.
Your speech seems to be improving 🤗
For 2017, low mileage SUV, she's still pretty clean underneath. One day, this Chevy is going to be someone's cram puff of a buy. Thanks for the video!
You always make me smile, love your approach, reminds me of myself, with more human and less colourful language
Eric, your speech is much improved.
I enjoy your videos I was wondering what series of autel scanner you have I am a retired mechanic of 51 years I were thinking of getting another scanner been looking at the autels the one you use seem like what I'm looking for thanks for the videos
Fine job 👏 👌 👍 🙂
The brake hose is all rusted out. I can't believe you didn't up sell him and put on brake hoses while you were in there. You could have saved him money. Oh and I saw a ground strap that was missing. You should have replaced that too.
9:28 pm central time
Your sounding better every video Eric, you'll be good as new soon👍
Great video, Eric O. Great idea to push the axle back. Your talking is sounding better, and thanks for a great diag.👍
What’s up with that DTC U0124?
Next week they'll be back when the crimped end of that brake hose goes bad
Avoca residents must observe some strange driving on South Main.
Was it me or was the steel part of the rubber brake hose where it bolted up to the caliper pretty corroded? Only 50k and you have to change a wheel bearing? Ouch…
Ahhh cmon 5 min job. Get new magnet and gorilla glue it on lol
I got a Chivy……for sale!
Its a SHEVVVY! Wit da the big 3.8! Mother Luver Kumbya! I can't talk wit marbles in my mout lol
Clearance Clarence
BK Boom Boom!!!! Love it!!
I hope you didn’t use all your luck up on this one truck. Seeing bolts come out that easy in your area is rare.
What i love about this channel? Mr.O never gets frustrated or struggkes lkke some of them there sun belt dudes.
I watch that for comedy i like to laugh in the morning.
As i sit and narate whats gonna happen next hahahaha.
Mr.O been doing these rust buggers so ling its just another day and easy peasy.
Also im aick of doing it so i gwt my fill by watching and being retired.
The main reason to employ others in your shop is to blame them for things.
rootin tootin its gabby hays , roy rodgers side kick🤠🤣😂love you buddy, and family
ONLY IF JOSH KNEW HOW MUCH YOU BLAME HIM.
👍
Still doing undercoating at this shop?
Hey Eric Larry here I am so old school I got scars on my arms hands on my faceFrom stuff flying off hot cold high pressure blowouts even the freaking plasma burn and the hot wire burn no cuts plastic not my fault not knowing where every single cut off on a machine is they tell you to work on it you can look all day and there’s always one somewhere and the next thing you know you tripped something to bite you talk at you later buddy
I think as long as you're having a speech problem, you should close up shop and head to Florida and give Rainman a hand. He's got his hands full down there. 😉
Remember viewers…if I can say it then you can say it. Thanks for watching.
Sometimes a deep socket acts like a mini extension too
Kidding about the People’s Republic of New York is funny. Calling South Korea the DPRK is not.
