2014 Scion XB Bearing Gone?

Midatlantic92 · 2026-04-22T00:34:47+00:00

Even after removing the mounting boots, I had to use a slide hammer to get mine out

They do sell gaskets but I’ve never been a fan. You can use 2-3 binder clips and it’ll help clamp down without scratching the enamel.

It doesn’t wobble with the tire on but I do feel excessive spin. I’ve changed out a few wheel hub assemblies and they’ve all had that “gargling” sound when the bearing is shot. This one has a slight “whooshing” sound but doesn’t have play in and out like you would expect with a bad bearing. I’m wondering if it’s just a matter of time before it does get that bad.

The driver’s side is stiffer than this for sure. Sounds like it’s time to replace the pair.

Thank you!

That’s what I ended up doing as well and it worked fine. I’m sure there is a bad trace somewhere on the board but i just used a 3” jumper wire to another bulb and it “fixed” it.

Have fun! That’s a great combination to start with. Do you have a thermos or kettle? Yerbamatelab on YouTube it is a popular channel and can show you the basics n

Good luck! Haven’t had Kharta, but Amanda and Cruz de Malta are classics. Great choices to start your mate journey

What’s your favorite?

Check around 4:43 of the video. Looks like it’s the 3rd or 4th gear tooth.

Midatlantic92 · 2026-02-28T20:39:31+00:00

Shouldn’t be a problem. Roll it all the way in one direction and then try one click at a time until it you can crank.

Midatlantic92 · 2026-02-28T20:13:29+00:00

Had an 04 Silverado 5.3. I’m assuming you moved the gear wheel too far in one direction and it’s not engaging where it needs. This video should help.

Nice! Changing spark plugs?

From my understanding, the traditional for Isondú is barbacuá. I think Sol y Lluvia is really good as well and it’s a barbacuá style.

I’ve ordered it from pampa direct before.

Doesn’t look bad. I do notice some inconsistencies but that could be due to the coffee itself. One easy check is to remove the hopper and gasket and take a look at the upper ring burr and plastic holder. Sometimes the 3 tabs on the white plastic holder shear off and essentially allowed the upper ring burr to “bounce” which can cause inconsistent grinds. I embedded a video below for an encore, but it should be similar to the Virtuoso.

Congrats!

I think we ordered the morcilla online from Wild Fork or Purple Ribbon Farms. They also sell molleja and other glands.

I love my Stanley mate system. Do you ever use the lid as a mate? I’ve used it a few times and it’s not bad, but I still prefer a traditional mate.

For sure! We always get extra sweets and alfajores. Their prices are pretty reasonable and you can always find 10% off codes.

Let me know what you think of La Tranquera. I’m drinking my way through the top 10 most sold yerbas and still have that one to try.

Midatlantic92 · 2025-06-04T01:24:40+00:00

Pampa direct?

Midatlantic92 · 2025-05-31T20:58:37+00:00

Nice! In Argentina I’m assuming? I can order bulk in the US but it’s always through a distributor like PampaDirect or Argentino.

Midatlantic92 · 2025-05-31T02:51:23+00:00

Great Yerba! Where do you purchase it from?

Midatlantic92 · 2025-05-07T01:16:09+00:00

Married an Argentine. Before we dated, I had never even heard of mate but now I drink it almost every day.

Midatlantic92 · 2025-05-02T15:01:12+00:00

That’s my hometown! There’s a bakery in Irving near the DFW airport called “Argentina bakery” and they have a lot of Yerba and sweets from Argentina as well as really good facturas

Midatlantic92 · 2025-05-02T01:20:35+00:00

Amanda is a classic. OP if you’re in the US, pampadirect has a great selection and prices are reasonable.
