How to Seat Inboard Bearings in a Car

Video Transcript

Hi my name is Nate McCullough on behalf of Expert Village. In the following clips we're going to talk about the proper way to repack, grease, and adjust your vehicle's wheel bearings. In this clip we're going to talk about the proper way to seat your inboard bearing and the grease seal. Your inboard bearing sits on the inside of the brake rotor. The opposite edge of where your wheel studs are at, it pretty much just sits down inside the hole. Give it a little wiggle, make sure its seated flush. It's a good idea to spin it just a little bit to help work that grease around where it should be. Once you have it seated in place you take your grease seal. This is it. It's your typical flange style seal, you can see the flange here. Insert it into the brake rotor. They won't push down in place your going to have to take a small hammer and tap around in a small circle. Once it bottoms out you'll hear the distinctive sound of solid medal. You can hear how the sound changed, that means the seal is properly seated and ready for re-installation.
