HUB SHOCKER Hub Busters | REMOVE STUCK WHEEL BEARINGS EASILY!

an old rotor put on backwards and a big pipe wrench works good also.

more gooder ?

Are the holes in the tool egged out enough that this tool will fit larger vehicles, such as a one ton eight lug?

You think this would get the bearings off my 2004 outback?

Great videos! 3:45 in the morning, I should be asleep ....definitely have saved your channel and subscribed.

This tool works great !!!!

How can the axle nut be reused if you just stacked it?

could have used that tool couple of years ago when I did my forester, It was so rusted in that it took hours to separate it.

Wow that's a tool

I paid 54 dollars for mine , brand new !

Waiting for it to arrive wish me luck

Wheel studs are 12mm x 1.25. I found it easier at floor level with a jack stand under the control arm so that the suspension isn't absorbing the force of the hammer. 10 lb. sledge did the job with one swat most of the time.

It probably would have come off quicker had you hit up and down instead of one direction.

What 14mm socket do you use to get those bolts out??

Yeah, it’s a typical Subaru. Bad wheel bearing.

Why not use a hub puller? This looks less efficient

This tool has two surfaces to be hit on. I am assuming that if you strike on only one side the hub casting surface could be wallered out? Why not keep keep the strikes "even" by rotating the mounted assembly 180 degrees instead of stressing it all on one side?

Some anti-seize on the new part means that when you change that bearing, it comes out without a hammer and Hub Shocker.

Ended up buying one of these but it was no match for a Pennsylvania Subaru wheel hub assembly.

What if you hit it half-hard and then rotate down to 6oclock

Шняга

Subaru recomands (at leasft for gd chasis), to remove the nufle completly and to press is from behind.

Just completed this job on a 2013 Impreza. I needed a 10 pound sledgehammer to get the bearing off with this device. It worked but I can see why people complain about rear wheel bearings with Subaru. Pain in the butt but saved 500$ so all is good. Good video.

Short, sweet and right to the point. Excellent video!

Thanks for showing how to use that thing. I was wondering when I saw it advertised!

I bought one of these hub busters and it didn’t do crap. I beat on it for hours even using the end of my splitting maul. Useless tool. Save your money. It’s junk.

If that came off so easy, it wasn't stuck there good enough.
Most bearings wont come off with anything! You can try removal tool, prying screws, lump hammer, chisels, anything, and they wont come off. The only thing that helps is to take off the whole assembly and put it under a heavy press.

Took me 45 mins to do both my rear wheel bearings on my car. Just happens to also be an Sti lol.

love mine. couldnt live without it in the rust belt. just uhhh dont swing a 15 lb sledge at it for prolonged periods. it will break.

Took mine off with a pipe wrench and a hammer big hammer ...07 avalanche

Hit the damm thing

Oh I really like that tool!

I used the same tool on the rear of my Subaru forester, attached it snugly with OEM lug nuts, hammered it with all of my might with a 4lb hammer over 200 times and it didn't budge. My feeling is if this guy can remove his hub with a couple of taps from a ball peen hammer that he probably could have gotten it off some other way anyhow. This obviously works for some people but it is no magic solution to this age-old problem.

Yup just ripped the front of my bearing off.

A cheap harbor freight pipe wrench and a sledgehammer works just as well. Air hammer wasn't working on my 03 yukon denali. But the pipe wrench on the flange and giving it a half dozen good wacks did the trick.

Wow awesome video made my life easier 😁😁😂😂

This is awesome. I bought an old 1999 Ford Explorer last year and plan on taking it up to Oregon (I currently live in Arizona). I took it to a mechanic to get a full inspection on it and they said that the wheel bearings were loose. I'll get those replaced before taking it on that long of a trip. I'm sure this tool will help a lot!

So after 3 days of hell getting a rear wheel hub off... after this video I made one in a hr... and off in 2 min... so fuckin great.... big time to save... 4 thumbs up

Thanks

subbed!

Where do you live because some of the stuff I see you working on is super rusty?

Does that work on a bigger vehicle, like an '05 Lincoln Aviator?

Very... suggestive.
I replaced my bearing today. borrowed a slide hammer free at auto parts store and used the whipping towel trick. Came off in 2 swings. I must be lucky. Twist the towel at the half way point around the slide hammer handle and whip it!

I've used this on two vehicles in the last two weeks. It saved me hours of frustration and sweat.

Made my own hub buster in 2 hours that is actually beefier then that and it was FREE

Will this tool work on my 2005 Taurus front driver side wheel bearing?,, we've tried literally everything🤦‍♀️

This works for everything for hub bearings expect the rear of a 12 + ford explorer... That also requires tears, blood, sweat, swearing, and luck....if you don't hate life by the time you're done you did it wrong.... 99% of the rest of the bearings are done after a swing or two with this tool

Rotors are frequently rust-welded at the seam of the lip of the hub assembly, an abrasive pad around the lip of it helps. I hit it with PB blaster too. If i'm replacing the rotor and other components I am not shy about using a min-sledge hammer.

Yea sealed bearings 'reluctor' bearings, those are sealed bearings, but don't put wd-40 on em cause it deteriorates the plastic.
