(I'm sure that 1.5" diameter would work too) - 1.5" - 1.75" OD washers (I used four thick ones) - Small piece of 1/8" thick steel to use as a spacer. I used a thick washer. - 21mm socket for caliper bolts - 35mm socket for the axle nut - 12 point 13mm closed end wrench - Torque wrench - might need a pickle fork - A small box that's strong enough to support the weight of the brake disk and caliper (8" - 12" tall) - All other required tools are fairly common. Here's the order of events. (not very useful when taking it apart, but will most likely save some frustration when putting it back together) Removal: 1. Remove wheel and clean the working area.

2003 Mazda Front Wheel Bearing Replacement (Press In Type Bearing)
Wheel bearing replacement in a 2003 Mazda Protege 5. Press in style bearings done without using a shop press. Specific for Mazda Protege, but many of the techniques will apply to vehicles with pres-in-style wheel bearings. It's a good idea to try to use the bearing-press-kit the way it was intended. If the bearing doesn't budge, BE CAREFUL using a breaker bar. The bolt supplied with the press-kit is not very strong...it with probably shear off the head. Try to give the bearin a few hits with a sledge hammer as seen in the vid..it will get the bearing moving. Then you can use the press-kit, and it should finish pressing out the bearing. Pressing in the bearing with the kit should be no problem.

Oops, Axle and Ball Joint Replacement - EricTheCarGuy
Oops, Axle and Ball Joint Replacement Sorry I missed you last week, I had this video half done and didn't get a chance to finish. Well we have our 1990 Accord again, I'm getting some mileage out of this one but I don't mind cause there are still quite a few of these on the road and a few of you have claimed ownership to one of these 4th generation Accords, so enjoy. A couple of things to note, I could do a video on taking out the wishbone bolt alone, I've run into a few problems here such as a rusted bolt that won't come out of it's bushing as one example, perhaps future videos will show how to overcome this problem. I thought this one went together well despite the fact that you might be getting sick of Honda Accords, I still have more from other makes that I haven't edited or posted yet. I have more to this video as well that may show up in DVD form at one point, YouTube only gives me 10min to work with but I think that is enough to get you started and not lose interest. Perhaps you could help by submitting questions in the form of text responses or what I would really like is a video response to something I've put out there, that would be great.
