    I really enjoy watching your videos, you do a great job and aren't big headed at all. All the best to you

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars O.G. Navations says:

    I am a fan of pulling the spindle and using the press to get them out and put back in………usually the fastest way i have found

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Phillip Lopez says:

    A knife edged bearing puller plate is in order.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William Morris says:

    Idda used a grinder wheel and tried to cut a notch in the race. But I’ve split those with grinder wheels then used a chisel to bust it on the split

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Keeping Up says:

    A slide hammer? That would be Toy Story 5.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars FireoftheGreeks says:

    Honestly you should have bent the shit out of the backing plate just for old times sake LOL.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 1mantisco says:

    This can all be yours for the low low price of $571 😃 yeah… 👍

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Melanie Branton D.V.M. says:

    Sorry, just saw the glasses around 16 min

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Melanie Branton D.V.M. says:

    No safety glasses and fingers too close to cut off wheel!

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William Mason says:

    I got the older one just got the new one for the tool to get the hubs off and the update pieces my older one doesn’t have

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William Kiĺl says:

    I’d be able to remove ten of those outer races off the hub by the time you gave up with pullers
    Slice a groove I. The fuckin thing with a cut off wheel
    Large cold chisel in the slot
    Hit chisel with mini sledge and it splits the race
    Pull off hub with fingers

    NEXT

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nearly Normal says:

    Great tool only $597.00 get yours today!

    Excellant job.

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sergeant Masson says:

    Don't need no stinking OTC hub puller. While this guy is doing his, mine would already be back on the vehicle done.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Scotty O says:

    Do yourself a favor and just remove the steering knuckle and get it pressed out. It's a 20 minutes job. You'll save a ton of grief

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jason says:

    very nice tool

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Martin says:

    Snap ring install and no safety glasses? You saw what happened when it goes flying. They dont make replacement eyeballs……. 👁👁 But great video!

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Castleberry says:

    Replace the whole thing

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Corsairforu says:

    Before you found the screw I went toward the start and saw it wasn't in its spot, l wonder if anyone else did.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bruce Sarnowitz says:

    I think your videos are awesome but please wear eye and ear protection.

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Christopher Kolb says:

    I've seen a video of a guy using a torch to heat the race wile spinning the hub on the vice and the race expanse and falls rite off id like to try it some day seems ezey but it could have been movie magic .

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sonic 7 says:

    I would drive 10 hours from Queens to have this guy work on my car.

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Norm Sebby says:

    Not even using a vice to hold work or a hyd press to reinstall….sheesh….

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Norm Sebby says:

    Respectfully, once again you are warping the brain of viewers expecting good methods…..where is your bearing puller and your hydraulic press….??

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ** says:

    Man, using the angle grinder right next to your fingers made me really nervous, reminds me of all the safety videos where they slice, cut, and electrocute wieners. Use a vice, be careful with your wieners!

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nick Malone says:

    No grease new bearing ?

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill Bird says:

    Ppe

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars fentonport says:

    Can that be done without unhooking the ball joints ?

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars NorCal says:

    Was there a snapping on the other side of the bearing also?

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars G W says:

    GOOD JOB!! GOOD ATTITUDE !

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ExtremeRecluse says:

    I bought a Lexus from an old lady in Los Angeles. Not a bit of corrosion. Got a one way $50 ticket to Vegas from Detroit. Planned on driving home in a 2003 Camry. Got a 2007 ES350 instead. Smooth ride.

    In the UK, we have 40 words for rust.

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dogday says:

    Glad my 08 charger was so easy to change the front bearings

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars allyg2510 says:

    nice to see a proper mechanic, if that was taken to most garages in the UK they would have wanted a new hub and stub axle, there are not many mechanics left anymore only 'Fitters' ,well done

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Leslie Horwinkle says:

    See it? I felt it.
