*Works perfectly for my use as a heated press **MyBest.Tools** Space between the ram jack and the base is a little tight. Make sure you set the ram jack arm so that it's in a position for you to get maximum leverage on whatever you're pressing. You may have to unbolt the front plate of the press and realign the ram in the teeth so that the arm is not at an awkward angle when fully cranked down.Other than aligning the ram in the teeth with the crank arm this .5 ton arbor press comes out of the box pretty much ready to use.*

Great video. One little point 1:35 don't break a ball joint by hitting the nut like this. Thread damage will easily occur. Strike the side of the cast at the hole.

Due for some new wood blocks. Great seeing capable people getting real work done.

Liked it because this legit shows what happens with sometimes underpowered equipment, good job!

Good job, I really liked how you secured the knuckle at start of the video, simple but ingenious. I'd only recommend not to use chrome style sockets on the press as they can shatter and even at 6 tons the shrapnel can kill you. Keep them all impact type as you used on the top. Great job!

i bought me a 20 ton hydraulic press from harbor freight it cost me about 2 hundred dollars. and let me tell you im so happy it solved all my wheel bearing removal.the hardest thing is to do is to set up on the press to push out the bearings other than that i think if you are going to attemp to work on a wheel bearing you must have a 20 ton press it makes it so much easier.

Use a torch, use some Kano Kroil, use the bolt that comes with that cup to push the bearing out square so it doesn't bind. Lot of hard work there gotta give it to you, you don't quit! Good video, love the nice close shots, I took notes, will be doing 4 of these soon, looking forward to it and scared at the same time :)

"The BOOSH is removed" Great show of the press. Im getting one of these for some gearbox bearings and the bushes on my track car. Thanks 👍

I had this debate with one of my viewers who thought he could press a bearing with a 6-ton press. I maintain you need at minimum a 20-ton press. You made my point as it also required smashing it with a hammer which is likely why the old hub was found to be running out.

Very well done video. Thank you for making it. I usually grind around the old outer race so it wont get stuck in the housing when using it to press in the old bearing. It looked like you may have pressed on the inner race at the end to get the bearing assembly in the last little bit and that must be avoided at all cost.

Amazing job, very good tutorial.

Excellent. I must make my press soon. Will be putting in some hood time with my everlast welder.

Actuate the lever ,and press the shaft deep inside until bottoming out on the people with negative comments...........good tutorial

The reason why i came to this video was to know if i could get away with buying a cheaper 6T press. And your video has helped me with that question. Thanks a lot!

I have been shopping for a hydraulic press and this video confirms I need one bigger than a 6 ton.

Nice video. Very helpful. Thanks for showing every step.

He spent days changing that bearing, it is fascinating to see someone buy all that tools and hustled all that time to change 1 bearing, he could saved his time and money by buying a pre installed one for 50$

Nice instructional video, I ejoy learning ways to do repairs that are cost friendly even if there are a few mishaps along the way. Job gets done is all that matters!

Best visual explanation of what to do on UKposts...

That's a good description. Only reason pros don't often use this approach is because it takes longer and you need an alignment after, because bolts holding the upper knuckle affect camber.

Excellent video. Thank you!

I needed 18T to get the bearing out of my Suzuki :D 6T is to weak for the most tasks, it need to be at least 10T or more ,..Very nice video and work ;)

thats one hell of a hammer swing considering you found it to be more effective than a SIX TON PRESS lol. In all seriousness, thanks! this vid really helps

"How to do a job without any of the correct tools"

correct me if I am wrong. I was taught not to lube bearing external surfaces because you can invite bearing spin out. I have seen bearings spin in their carriers I believe you call them. Just clean and press bearing in.

man I really appreciate yours because yours teaching about the mechanic really good thankyou man's

Good video, just shows you need the right tools. I didn't think that press was big enough, I've got something 3 times the size and used it to remove wheel bearings from a Mercedes rear wheel carrier a few years back.

Here in the USA, we just buy a whole new car every time the tires need air

Very good video, just subscribed for more of the same , No messing straight to the point.

All this video has done is stopped me buying from a 6T press

Love the extraordinary work bench !

I enjoyed every minute of that Thankyou 😀

Great clip!!! Been there, done that, but I used to take the damn part to the machine shop!!!

Such an informative and good video. For me a Peugeot Boxer 2.0BlueHDi coming up next week. Just broke the bearing on the 120 miles round trip, so has to be done. “Luckily” Xmas is here so no races for me in the next couple of weeks. Greg

The 6 ton press was saying I think I can, I think I can, then farts 🤣

Was going to buy one of these just for this aplication....I see a front-drive bearing replacement on a 20 year old car in my future. So, this demonstrated that I would be better with a 12T press. However, this little press was adequate to carefully remount the new bearing and hub. Removal doesn't have to be that carefully done so long as you don't damage the knuckle.

Good that video shows the press struggling, it can often be difficult to keep the workpiece steady while an even force is applied.

Need to push out the subframe bushings on my bmw and push new ones in. Got this press so I hope it works! Wooden blocks are a life-saver for things like this.

A more apt title for the video would be "How To Confirm That You Bought The Wrong Press For The Job."

By the way,using the impact gun does damage the Axle arm, search it or ask an experienced mechanic guy

I did the same job on a 2010 cx7, wasn't budging with a 12ton.. This guy got lucky with this 6ton

thanks....great job.....getting ready to do my toyota echo bearing.....bob

You made it look so easy, what kind of lube? Any normal sticky red grease? Marine grease ect would work right? Even assembly lube or plain oil would work if its all u had right?

молодец , мужик ! всё на отлично сделал , один минус - пыльник на шаровой повредил ...

I was scared the snap ring was gonna hit me in the face

You know that you have bought the correct car, when it has "driftshafts" from the factory :-D .

High tensile strength wood :-) But bigger circlip pliers would be handy...

Thanks for the video, very detailed and explanatory!

A&P Mechanic I was always warned when working in the auto mechanic field not to loosen or tighten the hub retaining nut with an impact gun because it will Brinell the races of the constant velocity joints and shortens the joints life. I could not be sure, but I hope you pressed the wheel hub in supporting the inner bearing race when pressing the hub in or there is the danger of Brinelling the bearing race as well. This really shortens the bearings life.

Great video my pops showed me how to do this a long time a go

was fun to watch and now i just bought a press for fixing those kind of things, Thanks and grats for all the hard work.

great video!

Imagine how good this guy would be with a decent workshop :-D

Very nice video. Thank you!

The axle shaft outer boot just barely missed the lower ball joint @16.22:))). Good reminder to pay attention to the near-by parts!

How to remove a ball bearing with a sledge hammer. The correct title!

Really effective,knowledge video.thank you

simple and clear instruction.

Great video....WELL DONE!

I’m glad I bought the 20 ton on sale at HF. I almost went for the 6 ton but for 20 bucks more, I think its a better deal.

Great job - not sure what kind of car was it - But, I did learn to use the jaw wrench to remove the racer from the hub - I used a grinder to cut a corner of it and the hammer it out, your method was best (next time I hope won't have to) - When taking the O-rings/ locking rings out, I used a tool / from HBFT else it was impossible with anything else on my Mercedes E430 - On the Prius I did not use a press nor any speciality tools (they come out easily with lots of hammering and it was my first job, so i was also figuring out) - One last recommendation safety wise, when torquing the hub nut, Don't pull up, it will damage your back (very easily), instead turn it 180 degrees and step on it /push it down to the ground - on opening it too - You won't feel a thing -

its a lot less stress on the transmission and drive shaft if you remove the axle nut with the brakes still attached and have some one else hold the brake down. the way they did it all the force from the impact is being transferred to the drive shaft and parking pawl.

For the lack of professional tools good job

El mejor que he visto... Thank

Good lord that's a lot work! Just get yourself a 63728 kit, you don't even need to remove knuckle to remove old and install new bearing. You just need a decent impact wrench, your tool can get this job done in a couple of mins. You'll pay the same price as a 6T press at better values, it even comes with all the adapters so you don't need to make your own as seen here.

Sweet and to the point , Thanks.

Очень хороший инструмент. Особенно внутреннию обойму подшипника снимать. Лайк!

Welcome back tuto

ONE DAY I WILL REACH THIS LEVEL, IF GOD WANTS! I ENJOYED THE CONTENT SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO. I WILL SUBSCRIBE UNTIL THE END.

Great tutorial !

คุณลุงสุดยอดมากเลย

What a great job. I'm thinking i will do it myself but i have ti buy all thise tools

Know this video is old. But hopefully someone can give me some advice. For subframe bushings or even what he is doing here. Where do you find those steel caps or cup he used? I've seen installer push pull kits on Amazon that come with the long threaded rods with washers and nuts. But where can you just get the cups for these press machines?

This is brilliant it make the job looks too easy

i have a $25 bicycle bottom bracket tool that i used more than once to fit the bearing into the hub for my 350z.. and my old g35.. and these things often press on the edge of the bearing.. you have to apply pressure on the race..otherwise, the bearings can be loose and you will use up your axle real fast.

your the boss man keep up the good work

Amazing job, Thanks

Very very interesting. SAGAR. Punalur KERALA, INDIA.

Amazing Value

One time, my snap rings was so badly sticked to the bearing, I had to take the whole thing to a mechanic, he had to use air chisel to shave the whole ring from the bearing. I suggest any DIY person change the bearings when they first hear the wobbling noise. Otherwise the immense heat will almost weld the retainer rings to the bearing.

Thank you i had issue getting it started sledgehammer worked

Thats very handy i came across 12t press on ebay for 130 euro's are they any good ?

10:48 Would it be possible to heat up the housing? The following part with the tow hammers look adventurous to me.

Its simple fantastic.well done.

Use a soft propane flame, or boiling water, to warm up carrier. It only needs to come up to about 100 degrees Celsius to release most stuck bearings

No bad, as i watching last year the same procedure in Vauxhalls workshop.

I done a toyota corolla front wheel bearing with m30 all thread using washers I always clean prior opening any part of the car you will be amazed how things dismantle after cleaning with wire brush and wd40

thanck you for all vedios

I’m going to install a double sided idler pulley bearing and put the pulley in oven. My question is when I pull the bearing to install in the hot pulley when the bearing thaws would that introduce water in the sealed bearing.

Not the worst wheel bearing job I've watched on youtube.

Nice work.

I was expecting the robot voice to say...call 911..hold pressure on wound...dont pass out.

Tighten the hub nut its easier and more healthy for you back from above pushing down (place wrench180* on nut)

good job well done just be more careful when using both hammers it's never a good practice to bang two hammer heads together they are made of hardened steel and can grenade an fly apart causing major injuries.

Nice. I like the hammers too. But the big torque wrench looks like a serious investment.

She's watching the video making it up as he's doing it. 😀🤣🤣

The lower ball joint boot is very clearly ruined - so why put it together?

no fear!!! love it!!!

Gracias por compartir.

Basically this taught me to buy the 10-12 ton press
