    If I'm not mistaken the small holes in the rotor are so you can take the caliper pin bolts and screw them in to pop the rotor off the hub, eliminating the need for the mallet. That's how my Toyota is

    I had a bearing noise in a car of mine that I could quite tell which wheel it was because the bodies of this newer vehicles its just hard while driving, I don't have a lift so I shop around for mechanics they all charge 140 dls standard diagnosis fee to tell me which one it was which is more expensive that the hub itself so what did I do? Bought a rear and a front bearing and I changed the one I suspected it was and lucky enough that one fixed the noise. Returned the other and with the 140 dls I saved I bought more tools and a six pack of beer 🍺 🍺 🍻 🍺 🍻

    I too had a wheel noise and mechanic told me I needed a hub assembly cost me $500 dollars. And did not fix the issue. Took it back three more times and said they could not hear a noise. It was only when I had to replace worn tires did the noise stop. So point is I paid for something I did not need and it was a bad tire or tires. Geezzz.

    Great !

    My world everything gets shined up dust plate and all spray paint . I LIVE IN RUST BELT!

    This had to be the quietest you have ever been in your videos. Hope you are doing ok. Remember to have a GREAT day! You deserve it

    Can’t keep posting on Ray’s site but just have to say “Blooming brilliant mate”.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Andy Ellis says:

    How much did the whole hub cost in comparison to just replacing the bearings. Would it have been cheaper

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David M says:

    I would use never-seize on the axle spline.

    "Click" 😎

    It went pretty smoothly!

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Thomas Beatty says:

    Love your new intro. Thanks for your videos. I'm to old to work on cars anymore (and probably not smart enough), but I really enjoy watching your work and I learn a lot.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars wades623 says:

    It doesn't look like you get a lot of vws, I know the Jettas have just a bearing and in the back you have to cut the inner race and crack it so it comes out

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Speakman says:

    I did a all-wheel drive . On the back right side. It was odd it had like a body filler a round the bearing with the 4 bolts.
    O it came out lol. I never seen that before.

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Speakman says:

    Customer is always right. Even if they're wrong it's there money.

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ted Mazzotta says:

    What's your go-to brand in tools ?

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars A Mascia says:

    🖒🤠

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Keith Pelkey Sr says:

    Are you working at a different shop? Bare concrete floors and different lifts

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nicholas Bourne says:

    Last time a changed a bearing like that I needed a 40ton press and a oxy torch to get it out. New one just slipped back in. FML.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bowhunters says:

    I thought that I heard the wheel bearing clicking on the first one you rotated but not the second one.

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Charles Shope says:

    Wtf

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars broderp says:

    Looks like you forgot to to reinstall the screw holding the rotor.

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dan Geiger says:

    Thought you replaced bearing hubs in pairs?

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars larry mcdaniels says:

    When do you know to use locktite or not ?

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ray Vandegrift says:

    Did you ping the axle nut ?

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Wayne Jones says:

    Didn’t hear you mention if the wheel bearing was actually faulty, or you changed just because the customer asked.

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Cli Bat says:

    Raking the brake rotor across the new wheel studs was painful. The resulting flat spot was plain to see.

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stewpid says:

    Seeing that hub fall out that easily makes me want to move south!! We have to beat the snot out of those to get them out!

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Don says:

    I did not see you tighten the nut on the CV axle. I guess you did but I didn't see it.

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars christopher conrad says:

    Up here in salty Canada we persuade them off with a 3 lb sledge 36 in handle. Still takes a couple good cracks sometimes🤬

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars barry seeley says:

    I found driving over newer and older pavement helped with tire noise assessment, good work Ray

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Old Nightrun says:

    Did not see you tighten the hub nut.

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mikeske says:

    The actual name for the impact driver on the end of a air chisel is called a Lester tool with impact bits. Good luck finding the Lester tool unless you are a aviation mechanic or you have a really good truck dealer. I have a Lester tool I use quite often as it is super handy. I am a retired aviation mechanic and have had mine for well over 35 years.

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Forever Computing says:

    Fun fact, you can repair a mushroomed axle stub. I was sent a good used axle and a bad used axle with said mushroomed end… That nut spun on there nicely by the time I finished repairing it.

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Wayne Holland says:

    Wish you work on rear ends

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mickey Morgan says:

    My bench looks like Ray's bench. Just shove the old stuff to the back.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars richardwernst says:

    I know it's much easier for you and probably actually cheaper for the customer to have the whole hub/lug assembly replaced as a unit but bummer that just the bearing isn't available for DIY folks to save some bucks. Or is it?

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Unlike Flex says:

    Question if there’s like squealing what could it be not brakes nor rotors!

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Randall Simmons says:

    For the love of all things mechanical, PLEASE start using anti-seize compound on mating surfaces! Fine work, Ray. Always a pleasure watching you work. You definitely aid in my trouble shooting issues.

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Russ Romito says:

    Should of wire brushed the splines on the shaft lightly and dabbed some grease on it before installation of the wheel bearing.

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William Gaglione says:

    Watching the new hub assembly be installed without having to remove an absurd amount of rust makes me super jealous. Good old north east salt destroys everything.

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard Pedroza says:

    No torquing?

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William Winsor says:

    I had a Honda make wheel bearing noise so I changed the rear one and problem solved. It didn’t feel bad or look bad but it was and it happened to a friend too same exact thing.

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 7Spot says:

    Click!

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars thorlo6 says:

    You make these repairs look so easy, yet I know they are not. When I was younger and needed new brake pads or the rear brake cylinder needed replacing, I would get the parts and do it my self. Now, any, and I mean any mechanical work needs done, I have to take to a mechanic. I can't because of lung disease killing me as well as primary liver cancer. Old age ain't what it is cracked up to be!

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Johan Bouwer says:

    No grease??

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Fun Havin says:

    Just think of the time you'd spend if you could use two hands! There must be a head mount for the camera!

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jt H says:

    You said the wheel bearings were good, yet you changed the LF wheel bearing. Did that solve the problem? Was customer right, or you? Confused.
