If you repack the old bearing use the old bearing race. If you fit a new bearing knock out the old race with a punch (a bolt woll doo), clean and replace it with the new, matching race. Fit the new bearing race using a socket that sits neatly on the bearing race and hit the socket against the race using a hammer evenly until it stops hard against the internal face. When it stops moving it has seated, no need to bash hell outa it. This is not a big deal, just take your time and get it right and you will have learnt another way to save yourself money. Thank you Chris for the video
@@chriscaliente5033 it will help him, it might take ham one or two times for him to watch the video to make sure he's doing it right but he'll get it. Your videos are very easy to understand.
If you are not confident working on your own equipment and trusting your own judgement, take it to a professional service repair shop and have them to put in new bearings, new grease, new seals and new races.
Chris, very informative. Have two questions. What is the name of the tool you used to hammer the seal down (looks like a flashlight), And What is the tool you used to tighten the castle nut. Am not an experienced mechanic, would like to know what to look for at the parts store. Thanks ::)
Any tool big enough to remove the castle nut will work. The hammer tool is called a bearing race and seal driver. www.jbtools.com/lisle-12800-bearing-race-and-seal-driver-set-1-565-to-3-180/?wi=off&Google&gclid=CjwKCAiAsNKQBhAPEiwAB-I5zZCBWplI0qbYIhoa9aFV-LIdsnCSPFZU7xqJE6pthJAqSzVGh2jLrRoC6FkQAvD_BwE

Just bought one, and watched your video before trying it. Awesome job. Thanks for the detailed video.
Good demonstration. I may look into one of these bearing greasers. I have done it the manual way the few times I have had to do it.

Job well done Chris thanks for sharing it with us
Hopefully my video will give that one viewer the confidence to pack their own bearings someday, if so than mission accomplished!

Another great detailed video Chris. Thank you.

Good video.

I've always heard that you cannot use the old race with a new bearing as they may have where and not perfectly matched
If you are not confident working on your own equipment and trusting your own judgement, take it to a professional service repair shop and have them to put in new bearings, new grease, new seals and new races.
Yes you're right. Always change the race and bearings together
Curious as to how much time it took using the tool to fill the bearings? Thanks
Grease or tomato paste ? 😂
Very good!!👍🏼

Thanks. And keep up the good work.
To be honest i will continue doing it by hand .
I’ve effectively packed bearings by hand for over 30 years but it’s too bad I didn’t have a tool like this 30 years ago!
@@chriscaliente5033 for me i am 70 years old .

As long as you pack the bearings is all that really matters!
