How to replace a wheel bearing with a cheap 6 ton press

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!

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 :)

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.

"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 👍

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$

Amazing job, very good tutorial.

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

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.

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.

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!

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

Excellent video. Thank you!

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

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

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

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