When you press a bearing the goal is to never put stress on the balls or rollers. Only press the bearing race that you are trying to instal. What I mean by that is you did the first part correct when you pointed out to put the press ring on the outer ring on the bearing. You were installing the outside of the bearing into the steering knuckle. The part that was done incorrectly was when you installed the hub into the bearing. Since you're installing the hub onto the inner bearing race you want to make sure that you're only putting pressure on that inner bearing race and the hub when pressing them together. The tools from the kit that you chose relied on the bearing to apply the force to from the knuckle to the hub and could cause damage to the bearing. Does that make sense? The smaller rings in the tool kit are for that purpose. Hammering the hub to get it started into the bearing is also a no-no. I work with very small dental bearings and the same rules apply. Those are very fragile and pressing on the outer ring when you should be pressing on the inner ring will ruin those right before your eyes (as they are literally destroyed.
I know this is an old video and I'm not sure if someone else has brought this to your attention. I love your videos and have learned a lot from them.

Guys its really important and I know this from experience. If ever you only jacked up one tire with the scissor jack with the adjacent tire still on the ground, like dont steer or anything. I changed my brakes recently and I started off with a scissor jack and to have better access to the bolts on the knuckle, I steered my wheels and thank god my tire was off and underneath the car because my car collapsed after steering right onto my tire. Id be buying a new car if my tire wasnt under the car. So if your working in your 2 front tires and only have one of them in the air, dont steer cause your car will collapse to the ground

Thank you very much Chris for the long and detailed version. One won't realize how much more useful the long and detailed version is compared to the short and fast version until he/she starts doing this job! I guess the majority just watch for fun and aren't willing to get hands dirty. Hence, much more Likes on the short and fast version.

I watched this video and i watched the 5 lug nuts conversion video on the Nissan 240. The hub on the Nissan came off much easier than this van. You have to remove the whole knuckle on this van but you dont on the 240?

Was it necessary to remove the knuckle with that bearing tool? Couldnt you have just left the strut attached and done the job with the knuckle still on the car?

At 30: 25 I would have used my body weight to tighten it up standing on the other side. Not so good for worn out back like mine. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

I'm only 6-1/2 years late to the party but good job man! I noticed that this is before you mad you own penetrating fluid. The ATF and Acetone is good stuff.
