Finally, make sure you have plenty of clean rags or paper towels handy to wipe up any mess that may occur during the repair process.

To remove the inner wheel bearing, you must first remove the rotor. The rotor should slide off easily. However, if there is corrosion on the rotor, it may be more challenging to remove.

Also, ensure you have purchased the correct new wheel bearing for your vehicle or machinery. The cost to replace a wheel bearing can vary, so be sure to shop around, but don’t compromise on quality.

Next, using pliers, remove the circlip holding the wheel bearing in place. Once the circlip is removed, you can remove the larger bearing.

Make sure to use a new cotter pin as they are designed for single use only, and when used multiple times, the weak metal can break. Install a new cotter pin by pressing it through the hole in the axle and then bending it over so that it’s sticking out on both sides.

After the head was pulled he brought it to the machinist and was told it needs resurfacing and two exhaust and one intake valves are leaking. The machinist resurfaced it and did a valve lapp job on it. Now, one month later there’s been no overheating but, the compression in the same cylinder is down to 100 psi during dry and wet test. and CEL has cylinder #3 misfire code for that cylinder. I did power balance test, coil lift for spark and spark is very good. Swapped coils, removed fuel injectors and watch the spray into a bucket..all four look good. Replaced spark plugs but, no change. I isolated the issue down as much as possible before calling the mechanic I called him and said bring it in.

While the cost of the bearing drastically diminishes (usually these run between $25.00-50.00) the labor involved to replace the bearing goes up, usually to the ...

Now it’s time to remove the outer bearing. Do this by removing the outer wheel hub components, including the dust cap, nut, cotter pin, and washer.

If your vehicle or machinery is making a cyclic chirping, squealing and /or growling noise, it’s possible you may need to replace its wheel bearings.

You may want to place some newspaper or rags down on the ground before continuing, so you don’t get any oil or other debris on the flooring.

It is vital that you never work underneath any part of the vehicle without taking all necessary precautions to make it safe. There is no reason to go underneath the vehicle when changing your wheel bearings.

Another issue I have is that if he gives that particular machinist a lot of business it would be easy to for that machinist to lie for him and say that it’s not due to leaking valves under warranty work. I told the mechanic, when we were discussing warranty work (before his wet compression test), that if he pulls the cylinder head I want to bring it a different machinist, one I used in the past. He didn’t react to that very well but, said I could but, he wouldn’t pay for it. I then told him I find the machinist’s work that he used very suspect if the valve-lapp that he supposedly did failed so early.

Today: Mechanic performed OBD2 scan and showed same cylinder #3 misfire code. He then did the same test other than fuel injectors and wet compression test that I did the day prior. He also used a camera to look into the cylinders. I told him I did my wet compression test yesterday with two tablespoons of oil. So, at this point he said that indeed cylinder #3 is low on compression and that he (under warranty and at no charge) will remove the head and bring it back to machinist. He said if the machinist doesn’t find a valve leak then any other source of compression loss fix (cylinder rings) would be at my cost. He walked away, came back 10 minutes later and then did a wet compression test. However, when he performed the wet test he poured in way more than two or three tablespoons of oil. He poured in several ounces of oil (almost 1/4 quart) and that made me suspicious. I returned home and researched..found the links below.

Question (finally, LOL): When performing a wet compression test can adding to much oil cause over inflated numbers or temporarily seal a faulty valve? Related info: http://www.waybuilder.net/sweethaven…Num=7&modNum=6 http://www.dsmtalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=140859 (copy and pasted) “Do not put too much oil into the cylinder during a wet compression test or a false reading may result. With excessive oil in the cylinder, compression readings go up even if the compression rings and cylinders are in good condition.”

Drycompression testresults

Before installing the new bearing, we need to apply some grease to lubricate the new bearing. A good lubricant will also help keep moisture and dirt out of the vehicle’s wheel bearings.

Take your newly replaced wheel bearings for a test spin! Drive slowly at first to ensure the wheels have been reattached correctly.

As for your head-to-block sealing issue, the cylinder head surface is only half of the equation. The block deck has to be flat as well. It’s unusal that you have a compression issue on only one of the center cylinders. 95 times out of 100, the compression loss is shared by the two middle cylinders. Tells me that you don’t have the “classic” inline 4 compression failure. Some more inspection of #3’s sealing condition is needed. You don’t want to keep blindly and hopefully machining the head surface until the head casting is useless to you.

History: One month after swap engine overheated and obvious signs of a head gasket leak. White smoke from exhaust, loss of coolant. A day after overheating I performed a dry compression and the result was cylinder 3 was at 75 psi. and the other three cylinders were at 160 psi (normal). I then performed a wet test with two tablespoons of oil in the cylinder and the compression did not change which points to the cylinder compression rings are not the cause of compression loss and the valves or valve guides are the cause.

For information on applying grease to the bearings: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/blog/trailer-towing/replacing-trailer-wheel-bearings.htmlOnce the grease is applied, slide on the new inner wheel bearing, followed by the inner bearing outer track, brake disc, and inner track.

If you are changing the front wheel bearings, you can twist the steering wheel to provide the most working space possible.

When should awet compression testbe performed

First, gather all the equipment and materials you will need to replace your wheel bearings. This includes wheel chocks,  a wheel brace or socket, jack, and grease to lubricate the new wheel bearing. You may want to have some penetrating oil on hand to help loosen any seized bolts.

First, remove the two bolts on the back of the brake calliper and the bracket using a ratchet and socket wrench. The calliper and bracket can now be set aside.

In this blog article, we will provide a step-by-step guide of how to replace a wheel bearing on a vehicle or piece of equipment.

Thanks. I brought up to him whether or not he checked the block for level using a straight edge and a feeler gauge. His answer wasn’t very convincing .. he said he inspected it but, didn’t say he used a stright edge and feelers. He gets agitated when I question his work but, at this point I don’t give a sh!t. I’m going to have him do a wet compression test with an ounce of oil and ask him to do a leakdown test too. If, the block is warped can he be held liable for proceeding with the head gasket install without informing me about a (possible) warped block that he should have detected in the firsst place. I wouldn’t have had the head gasket and valve job done if I knew the block is (possible) warped.

Next, you’ll need to raise the vehicle by using a jack. Make sure the vehicle is raised high from the ground so that you have enough room to work.

With the vehicle raised, remove the nuts by unscrewing them with your wheel brace or socket. Then, remove the wheel and set it aside along with your nuts.

When the wheel bearing goes bad, you will notice several symptoms, including: ... bearing is noise coming from the wheel or tire area of the moving vehicle.

Once your vehicle is back on all fours, remove the jack stands and the bricks or chocks that were stabilising the wheels.

2019731 — If there's no movement seen in the ball joint or the tie-rod end, you definitely have a bad wheel bearing that needs replacement on that wheel.

Reinstall the brake rotor and calliper by sliding them over the axle, lining up the bolt holes, and tightening the bolts back on with a socket.

I brought to the mechanic that did the engine swap and told him the symptoms and compression test results. I asked him if a leak-down test would further isolate a compression ring and/or valve(s) leak before replacing the head gasket. I told him that my concern is if there is a cylinder compression ring I’ll just sell the car as a shell and not bother any further with the engine. He told me there’s no need for a leak-down test and it won’t help since the head gasket is most likely leaking compression. From my understanding if there is compression loss from a breached head gasket then it’s usually located a the portion (of the head gasket) located between two cylinders and both cylinders would have low compression. He said there’s no way to get accurate compression test with a blown head gasket. I was skeptical but, went on his word that the head gasket the issue along with the possibility of a warped cylinder and leaking valves. He stated he warranties his labor and the machinist’s labor for 12 months.
