  • @mikeodonnell3492
    @mikeodonnell3492 3 роки тому +1

    I've overhauled many manual transmissions (mostly Honda, Toyota and Nissan) and I have NEVER seen a 'sealed' bearing like those used inside a trans.
    The idea (usually) is to have them 'open' to be adequately and constantly lubricated with the 90# gear oil inside the trans. This type bearing is normally used for different applications and the lubrication (grease) is contained inside the plastic seals. I don't like this design and think it would be actually better to remove the seals. (No wonder they went bad)
    Great job feeling you way through this fairly complex job!

    Brilliant channel, nice to see someone who is prepared to have a go without a fully equipped garage, just a drive and a shed, your presentation and explanations are spot on (even if it`s something you are leaning yourself). Quick tip don`t assume that ebay is going to always be the cheapest, I have got some parts much cheaper from a main dealer before, especially obsolete model parts they can be reduced just to clear stock. If you have different main dealers near ring both as the parts price can sometime vary massively.

    @declanjones3714 2 роки тому

    Hello, great video!
    I am a precision fitter for a cnc spindle refurb company and work with this type of thing daily.... the easiest way to get bearings on to a shaft like that is to heat the inners of the bearing up slightly using a heat gun or a hot plate and ring. You will then find they expand enough So you don’t have to tap them down as this can sometimes knock the bearing out of track causing them to fail.
    Hope this helps👍🏻

    @phillipcleaver7063 Місяць тому

    Good video mate , Having watched all of it I think you or anyone else out there could possibly pull the bearing pack off by popping out the remaining visible seal on the left bearing , if you have a careful go at them with a very small screwdriver they will just pop out , there,s not much holding these in , having done that get hold of a suitably sized internal race puller off ebay or amazon , these have 2 legs on them that have shaped bulbs on the ends , you carefully insert each leg into the gap between the inner race & the outer ring of the bearing then turn the leg 90 degrees so that it then grips the groove for the ball bearings . Assemble the rest of the puller up above the legs & pull each bearing off a little , do this very evenly or you could easily bend things , a tip here , if you use just one puller only pull the bearing you,re working on a few thou , or you could start to bend things - terminally , either the puller or the shaft the bearing is on that you,re working on.Obviously to get the puller,s legs in you have to destroy 2 bits of the ball bearing cage in the undamaged bearing in diametrically opposite places , but you will end up changing the whole pack anyway so this does not matter . it would be very useful to know in advance the distance across the bearing,s ball tracks please , so that we out here can arm ourselves with the right sized pullers . For those that have never pulled any bearings off before , you use a stout , undamaged & well machined piece of flat steel bar across the top of the shafts to screw your puller central forcing screw down onto , with plenty of the same sort of oil that the gearbox uses on it to lube it , but still keep everything clean , no muck , grit , bits or dust must get in there .Ensure that you,re not pressing straight on the end of a fine internal caged bearing in the end of the shaft ! O.K. that,s my 2 penn,orth mate , it will be good to know the size of these bearings, please reply on here , thanks .
