Dude this video is great, I can so feel your frustration. I found this video after I was ready to stick TNT under my suburban
thanks for making it as real as it gets,w/out the old bearing being like welded in there frozen.
great work Scottie !! looks like my type of day right there nothing take 5 min like it should
Thank you glad this video Quelled my Anxiety thought the job would be more massive thank you
Glad to help.... I always say anything is possible if you have patience. I envy people with lots of it. I can barely stand my teenager. 🤣🤣 But really, if you have the patience to learn something as you go everything is possible.
Good luck on your DIY project. Keep me posted on your progress. 👍💪🤞
Thank you for showing me this!!
Glad to help brother. Good luck on your next project. 👍 🤞💪
Thanks for sharing...I'm prepared to tackle my '94 GMC...heard a lot of noise for a while but that stopped...have play at the wheel when off the ground so I'll follow the steps you did to a hopeful successful finish...good luck with your next project Scottie!
Aye!! Glad to help. Good luck on your project as well. I've done a ton to this truck, I love it. Lol. We tahe the kids light weight muddling and 4x4ing, I can't let go of the memories. I'll be uploading a lot when I get a chance to edit it all. I am also doing a complete 4l60e rubuild and upgrade to put in this or my Tahoe... Soon to be uploaded too.. Good luck and let me know how it goes.
The sound of that bearing when I drive is ungodly 😂
It's called the race
Appreciate you brother! Saved my butt!
Glad to help! Good luck getting your projects done.
Thanks for the view!
just an FYI, you should always advise wearing safety glasses when removing and installing the bearings. (this was a perfect example) on the way out they have the tendency to explode, and when your using the bearing driver, hitting the back of the metal handle, little metal burs could cut loose and fly at you. safety first
Propper PPE is a must. Especially when safty is walking around. Lol.
Tanks for your video it’s gone help me so much 🙏
Who checked the reason it leaked in the first place??? hint its small usually overlooked but very important... you do it every few seconds and your diff has to also...
Hint... the breather... and if its plugged you will always have either a pinion seal leak or axle seal leak... Always check the breather.
Great tip. 👍💪
love this video. too many edit out the frustrations and mishaps. great how-to- I learned a lot. Time to replace my seals.. ARF ARF.. lol
The most honest repair video ever!😂😂😂
Also would this be the same for a 1997 k1500?
Yep, same for the c & k.
Very good and useful video good job
Would it hurt anything if you grease the outer area of the bearing before you beat it in? I can tell this is what's going to happen to me. It never fails.
Thanks for sharing this video.... just a word of caution, use some eye protection when using that air powered wire wheel. I would hate to see you to lose an eye.
+Eden Molinar once upon a time i actually got hit in the eye with shrapnel and had to go to the doc to get it out.... thought i woulda learned. Lol. Good advise, thanks.
Got a question how did you rise the blazer to place the Jack's? Will change the seal 😅
Honestly I probably raided it from the Differential. Not the best idea. I have a 3 inch rubber cusion on my jack. But you can jack up under the shock mount.
Dude check this you got the tool to do the job right next to you,the problem is your just not swinging those hammers like you got a pair.with that tool all you really need is to hit it 3 time maybe 4 and you really shouldn't be hitting the bearing with the hammer
Very interesting, but no way! I have a 66 F-100 that has a leaky rear seal. The previous owner said that it leaks because that axle was corroded. and they are hard to find. I still wanted to check it out. I think my axles would come out easier?
I'm in norcal with a 95k2500 I'm cranking on just took off my dif cover. Good vid.
Where about in NorCal? Good job getting in there and getting the job done.
Colusa county 30 minutes north of woodland off the 5 out in the rice fields. It would be cool if I could ask some questions about this thing. Do you know what the black box is up under both my front wheel wells is?
It does not make sense to put a repair kit bearing in there when the shaft is still OK, just get the correct bearing and seal.
So just put bearings in the same spot on the shaft that was warn down so you have a instant seal leak when done, what ever you feel like doing. I personally like doing a job once but if you wanna do it twice that's ok too.
You need to tighten that nut when pulling the bearing out
I'm looking to replace the rear axle seals and bearings in my 04 Silverado it also has the G80 in the diff. Once I take the differential pin out, you need to rotate the diff to get to the c clip that holds the axle. I won't mess up the g80 locker by rotating the diff will I? I think I heard somewhere that you can possibly un-spring the g80 when you rotate the differential without the pin in, is this true?
FYI take time to pull seal out first then using bearing removal tool. Might not have ruined bearing.
Great tip! I'd honestly plan on removing the bearing if I was going to take the time to get to the seal. I'd hate to replace the seal and the bearing go bad shortly after and end up doing it again. 💪👍 keep up the great work. Hopefully you got the intel needed to get your diy project done. 👍👍
Great vid bro
I need to get a little tool magnet like that,do they make those purposely for mechanic work like this particular job or is that just some idea u came up with,I like it either way?
Its a telescope magnet. You can buy them at the auto parts store.
This is the way it is but i have never seen nor used a steel hammer on a bearing (24:00 area). Other wise this is how they come out!
Hammer isn't the best but it works. The hardened casing of a bearing is verry unlikely to get pitted. But to eliminate the possibility use a press. This one was a pain in the ass. What could have gone wrong did.
How long does it take to come out ya think? Should I post a update vid for you? Ive only put about 40k since.
you should not Hammer a bearing in like that before you inserted that bearing you should have lubed it up to make it slide in easier and you should use a flat piece of metal or a piece of two by four you have only cause more damage.
By your statement is true. When hitting your bearing with a hammer you are more likely and prone to do damage when you use a hardened steel hammer. When the steal of the hammer is harder than the steal of the bearing race that is when you get damaged. Have you ever seen Damage Done by hitting a race with hammer? Please point it out to me. If you had something on hands or had time to prep you could buy a bearing race installer as well. I used to have one I'm not quite sure where it went.
Would it work if you use canned air upside down to freeze bearing before installing??
You have to change the brake shoes if it was leaking.
You don't have to. It is highly recommended if you want to keep the braking power.
@@ScottiesHobbies That's exactly my point. Your front brakes will go out fast.
@@fjgrg2033 that is a awsome point.
good job scott sh ....t happens nothing we can do about it is pain in the but
Right? Lol. I haven't not finished a job yet. Roll with the punch and we can always find a way.
You can tell why those bearings went out, the big tires and wheels. remember when using those big tires and wheels, other things go wrong!
Devo Dar great point bro . Safe or not I will never hit a bearing with even a baby sledge. ( BEATER ). Just because..... not a good idea to potentially damage a new part . But awesome video , and just like my luck ! I love it .
No mechanical problem cannot be fixed with the proper application of violence ,
Vulgarity and high RPM .
For sure. They think those bigazz tires look cool but, never think of what their gears and bearings are made to handle.
One shop didn’t tell me nothing about a saver bearing and told me whole rear end🤔😒instead for like3500 ,thankfully I went down the road to another shop and they told me about a 400 fix called a SAVER BEARING which may do the trick so we shall see,money does funny things to people’s minds.
Freeze bearings install faster!
+Rev Big D I've heard of that. Maybe I'll give that a tru when I do my tahoe bearings.
RevBiker Big D you are so right. Eight hours in the freezer will save a lot of frustration and you don't have to be so hard on the bearing
My axle won't go in all the way so the c clip won't come out. Any advice?
+adrian if it was mine I would think I would have two choices. The first choice would to be to hit the axle shaft with a hammer to try to get it to push in so I can get the C-clamp out. My second option would be to just find another where in and replace it with a known good rear end. In my Tahoe I did the bearings but ended up having a bit shaft and found a better rear end than what was in there for about a hundred and fifty bucks on Craigslist. Good luck and let me know what you come up with and how the repair turns out thanks for the view.
Scotties Hobbies I tried hitting it with a rubber mallet but it wouldn't go in any further. The rear end is fairly new, it only has 23k miles so I wouldn't want to replace it.
+adrian man.. did you try putting a little down force on the axle shaft wile pushing it in? Maybe it is stuck on a lip?
+adrian did you take the center pin out too? Probably did but just covering the basics.
Scotties Hobbies I took the pin out it gave it a little play just not enough.
Of course it's easy with better tools.
I need to get mine out without them cool slide hammer tools.
And its melted into the axel tube.
Good luck to me I guess.
Good luck. I know the feeling bro. Do you have a as auto zone or o'Reilly near? You can rent tools there. You just leave a deposit.
Bubbas garage, messy, greasy, just lets oil drain on the ground...don't think I'll take any ideas from this one. Pretty clueless
+Devo Dar got it done, rite? I bet you can imagine what my 24's did to my tahoe. Both trucks have all new front suspension from bushings to pitman arms.. i heard a old sayin one day, it was: it costs to floss. Lol. Shit goes bad but stock is not mile style. I get the people that buy and want to just keep it simple but thats no fun. :).
I appreciate the view time and th feed back. Ive grown a lot lately. We have way more space now. Much easier to keep apropriate space clean and tidey. Still working on that tho.
stfu
But you watched it didn't you? 😂😂
Your efforts are appreciated, but providing no specs at all (bolt torques, oil type and quantity) made watching this vid mostly pointless. Doesn't ANYBODY believe in torque specs???
Only German torque specs... gewd en tight.
I haven't used torque specs in about 15 years, and never had the same car or truck in the shop twice.
thanks for making it as real as it gets,w/out the old bearing being like welded in there frozen.
