I have been hearing impaired for almost all of my almost 60 years. I guess it has some benefits.

I was operating a Bobcat skid steer the other day, I heard a very loud squeal, a nasty metal on metal squeal. I was wondering what I had broken. I looked around and saw a train shunting on the rail road tracks across the road. I am glad I did not have to REPAIR the machine I was using.

Other machines I have used have complained and I never heard it. I briefly had a Ford Ranger with a 5 speed. I drove on the highway at high speed in 3rd gear. The Ranger did not have a tach and I could not hear the motor complain until it broke.

Dave, you do crack me up..Your hearing got this one right..I fortunately have the resources to do these jobs and it's not a problem for me so that's why I did it. In my heart of hearts I knew it was the tire, road, or tread...but now I know for sure.

Nice video but it ended very abruptly. I wanted to see the wheel installed and a test ride 8)
Is the tire mounted in the correct direction?

I focused this DIY video only on the wheel bearing removal process and installation. The wheel installation is in reverse of the removal and the test ride would be difficult to film as there would be a lot of wind, road, engine noise to cope with on a microphone. Hope the video gives insight into what could be expected when contemplating this job. My focus was to keep it as short and succinct as possible leaving out the minutia. Some obvious aspects were left out as I thought they were self explanatory such as cleaning the hub and greasing the new bearing to help it slide in the hub, torquing, etc etc. I had to do the job so why not film it so others could have an idea of what this entails..

Yes, I remember you telling me about Jones Beach cool guy! :P thus my video.
I thought I'd bring you (us) back in time for a "few" minutes (oh to go back longer....sigh).

Back to bizz, Tell me Please what to re-title your thread and I will do so. It's your baby. Afterwards it will be moved to the "how-to" board where others will appreciate your efforts.

Btw, We're still waiting for warmer weather here, but you knew that already :lol: Jones Beach will have to wait
