Hi Ray i really like your show Thank you Im a retired cabinet maker. And for 20 years before I retired. I had my own shop with A quite noisy large compressor Also. Needless to say I built a plywood box and lined the inside with sound deadening board. I built it with the a large front door so I could access everything easily with plenty of ventilation so there was no problem of overheating. Worked very well because it was also outside and that way I could put a nice hasp and padlock on it . Then put a nice quarter moon cut out at the top of the door. In other words it kind of looked like an old outhouse. This this might work for you. If you have time I know how it is to open your own business. All all my friends and clients thought it was great Thanks again for your great show. JF.
Way way back, when I was 17 (I think) I worked at a family owned garage & fuel/filling station. One day the owner, Mr. T. J. Futch (@ F&J Automotive) took the time to show me how to Grease Pack Bearings. Any kind of bearings & it was so simple, but very necessary to protect them while they do their work. I hope I remember his name correctly because that was 53 years ago. He & hie partner are long gone & the Garage is now a store that I think sells plants & such.
Got some bearing/race PTSD from back in the days replacing front wheel bearings in either myb69 Mustang or 73 charger with just basic tools, I was 16 or 17 broke as all get out and somehow managed to get the job done without messing up seals, bearings, and housing. I actually enjoyed watching you do the job with proper tools.
Just my 2c ain’t worth much but when I was taught at the GM dealership way back. They told me not to use grease on the gear oiled bearings as it would keep the oil from flowing to the bearings and create dry spots and premature wear . They had us lube them with gear oil and assembled. I am sure times have changed and that red grease is different 👍🏻
I totally LOVE that brake power bleeder. Such a great tool. More people should have their brake systems flushed. Most don't do anything until there is a problem. The fluid deteriorates just like all the other fluids. It had been a long time since I worked on a 3500 differential, the bearing set up brought back memories. Definitely HD! Great to show good maintenance on a truck like yours.
Brake pad "bedding". Burnishing it is not - Bedding a new set of pads is very important and you explained it well but the mechanism being employed is transfer of brake material from the brake pad to the rotor and not burnishing. The friction developed on the rotor is the result of the friction developed between the pad material and the deposited pad material on the rotot. The underlying cast iron that the rotor is made from is the supporting structure for the deposited pad material. Probably the most important feature of doing this as you emphasized is not stopping the vehicle during the process when the pads/rotor is hot. If ther rotor ia allowed to stop while hot the pad material may stick to the rotor surface and result in an uneven distribution of brake pad material and resulting pulsation in brake effectiveness. After an emergency stop it is sometimes necessary to re-bed the brake pads to even out the pad material in the event of such emergency use to regain operational smoothness.
I always use an empty plastic margarine container to cover the inner bearing when driving the studs back in. Keeps bits of metal out of the new bearings.
At my previous job, we were constantly reconditioning the same type of hubs, (10 or more at a time) so because we also had in house CNC, my boss had specific press jigs made to make repetitive work much faster.
Ray sorry to interrupt but these large bearing nuts. Tighten down until the bearing drags as you turn the hub. Then back off until it rotates freely-- then tight to next cotter key hole. We did this on huge wheels and brakes on airplane jumbo jets.
¡Claro! Pero deberías ver que un avión pesa muchas más toneladas y las ruedas giran mucho más rápido, entonces las precargas sobre los cojinetes son muy específicos, cosa que en un automóvil (cualquiera que sea) los esfuerzos no son tan enormes y NO habrá tanto riesgo. Cuando mucho, es mejor que tenga algo de "juego" (holgura) a que estén demasiado apretados. Si hasta las grasas lubricantes son diferentes. He estado allí... en coches y aeronaves.
Protip: Flip the driving race so that both are facing the same direction instead of each other, that way, when it's get stuck down in the hub, you have a convenient lip you can use to gently tappy tap the old one out.
@@theundergroundlairofthesqu9261 Actually, I never had that problem. Then again, I was working on class 8 trucks (semis) at the time, and those things tend to be a lot easier to work on because everything is bigger and you got way more clearance. Matter of fact, you didn't even unbolt the lugs nuts and lugs studs, just remove the axle and retaining hardware before pulling the duallie. With those, you want it to get stuck a little because that's the best way to ensure the new race is fully bottomed out in the hub. Plus, again, super easy to remove once yer done, so not a big deal.
At the chev garage, in the old days, we used to jack up each end of the rear axle housing during the filling procedure. It saves time, really. It prevents bearing failure. Our shop foreman/team leader would ask us to do these things and speed us up.
It just so happens that I am giving my vehicle some much needed love. Today is the brakes., and Monday will be a oil pan engine flush and finally but not last a harmonic balancer I am just waiting on parts to be delivered. 😅😊 After all that I can start looking into doing my drivers side window motor and drivers side and passengers side lock actuators for my fob does not work on unlocking and locking the vehicle. :( The vehicle that I am referring to is a 2000 Ford Mustang V6 manual transmission. I know it's the small motor but it has a lot of sentimental value to me.
I am am truly in awe to see that we now have an amazing tool such as a ratcheting line wrench!!! Got to be at least one of the greatest inventions known to man.😮😊
you actually moved the press to a place where we could see you work, thanks for that! good lighting!! Quite impressive for your diligence to the integrity of your work...
I knew it! Seeing Ray put off tightening that banjo fitting yesterday made me nervous. At least he caught it before getting on the road. A late win is still a win.
Alldata/GM has a very specific procedure for replacing your rear axle bearings and races that includes an initial torque specification for properly seating both new races, then loosening up the nut, and then setting a final torque setting. I sure hope you dont have to work on that on the side of the road somewhere Ray.
It shouldn't matter. As long as the outer race is firmly seated against the snap ring, it's good to go. Actually, the way he does it let's you see that it's seated correctly. Factory procedure is easier but it's done blindly.
@RJM The GM factory procedure lasted 200+K miles, I think I'll stick with that one. In 2 plus decades of GM Dealer service, I can't count the number of tow-in's or limp-in's we had to redo a "new bearings, race's and seals" job that wasn't done 100% correctly.
Hello Ray! This episode reminded me of the only time I ever had to press bearings and / or seals. It wasn't boring, it was terrifying! One slip and I ruin $$$$ worth of equipment. And at the time, being young and stupid, and having a master machinist come by and scream about what I did or didn't do every five minutes made the whole process worthy of PTSD. Thanks again Ray for the wonderful video content! And Ray, I have a great day because more often than not YOU made it a great day! 😁😁😁 Thank you!!!
Ray, I know you wanted to keep the insides of the hub clean, but when you were using the Air-Hammer @ 18:00 I couldn't help notice all the metal dust fragments flying through the air and contaminating what you tried so hard to keep clean, Is that going to be a problem later on?
On UA-cam, you can watch mechanics in Pakistan doing this kind of work on the dusty ground, or this guy doing it on a concrete floor in Florida. (I shouldn't laugh, I lived without a workbench for a long time.)
He is wearing Troy's shirt that's hilarious I have done this before it sucks but I did learn a few things from this thanks Ray keep up good videos and work
it take 's it toll when you work into the night I know when i was young i would work all night in my garage to get me car right for the next day so take care of your self you are running a garage and need your whit's about you when working with machines , thanks for the video
Creator, "This part must be absolutely boring to you guys." Me: Watching every detail so I have a clue when I try it for the first time. Thank you for showing the process w/o cuts or editing.
I'm ocd, and after watching you over the years, you are too. I think it would drive me crazy to not do the front end as well as the back. Just a couple of things and you have a complete restore. NICE
Reee! Amazing slow motion of jackhammering the wheel studs in and the vibration of the seal, it just goes to show when your slamming one hole the other ones moving like crazy😂😂 keep that in mind next time👍
Hey Brother Ray just want to let you know you do a fantastic job on everything you put your hands on you are the best in the world love you brother keep up the good work
I'm currently doing drive line ujoints and carrier bearing on my truck. That carrier bearing is no joke, so I can totally get the struggle of seating those bearings and races! Great job Ray!
Those new ratcheting line wrenches have been around since the late seventies. I used them when I worked for a semi trailer manufacturer to mount the brake systems on the axles and bogey units for the trailers. I looked all over for years and couldn't find them for sale at the parts and tool dealers. They are great and are so simple in their engineering. Wish they built new vehicles that way.
Another well done job by Rainman Ray! It's always good to be able to clear a shop bay for revenue jobs. Now, on to another project for you and us fans!
You can take a lug nuts, put on them studs and drive in the same way. Put some sort of spacer in there to suck them up in there. That way you could take when you do not you bring a spacer out too quicker.
Hey Ray, funny how you say "the first couple of millimeters are crucial" then you almost immediately switch to "I have to go about 3/8 of an inch".... Love your videos!
Enjoyed the wheel bearing removal and installation . It's been over 35 years since I performed one of those jobs. I couldn't believe how much I had forgotten about the process. Great video!
Hint. A bell reducer from 3/8 npt to 1/4npt can have the 1/4threads drilled to the shaft size of the press jack release screw. A cut off wheel to grind a slot for the cross pin gives you a much easier knob to release jack pressure
back when i changed my jeeps rear axle shafts, those bearings came with grease in them for the same reason. they are nitro shafts, they came complete and ready to install.
Always love the content Ray!! Those wretches will definitely be on my wish list now! That's awesome someone finally came out with them, they will make all us mechanics happy with the ease of those tools 🔧 Thank you sir for bringing them to our attention. Great video sir!!
Use the AIR HAMMER. 😆😅😂🤣 The air hammer bits are alot softer than race. Seriously I've done it several times in the last 22 plus years. I just fckn around though everyone does things differently. Good video 👍🏻🇺🇲
I was watching you put in those press fit bearing races and thinking that if he had some Molykote G-n Metal assembly paste it would go in much smoother. I then remembered oh, he does have some of that because I sent it to him.
Really like the way the shop is shaping up. All that investment in effort and organization is a dramatic improvement! Going to be an excellent place to work, and ply your trade. Comfort and style.
I always love the videos of maintenance and upgrades to the Dirty Max. You can feel the love and pride in the work that you do on it, even when it’s overdue.
You fought that snap taking out, you probably should have tapped the old bearing down to allow your pliers to go into the holes in the snap ring farther.
Check your video at the point you were driving the studs through the rotorinto the hub. there were all sort of little sparklies floating around, maybe metal going into the grease of the bearing.
Thanks Ray glad it all ended well for you and you have your beast back on the road again, was great to see some new toys in action and they certainly look a great invention for brake lines. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘💖💖
Hi Ray i really like your show Thank you
Im a retired cabinet maker. And for 20 years before I retired. I had my own shop with A quite noisy large compressor Also.

It's not a bearing race, it's the bearing cup or cone. The race is part of the cage that contains the rollers or ball bearings.
I beg to differ. Worked at Timken for 42 years as an engineer the race is what the taper rollers run on. Race is on the cone and the cup
Average Redditor FAIL. 😂
Ray sorry to interrupt but these large bearing nuts. Tighten down until the bearing drags as you turn the hub. Then back off until it rotates freely-- then tight to next cotter key hole. We did this on huge wheels and brakes on airplane jumbo jets.

First 5! GOOD MORNING RAY AND THE WIFE UNIT! Along with the new employee TROY! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
Nice to see the Dirty Max receiving some much needed love.
This dude besides being a great mechanic, his camera skills and the hability to upload a video daily it's just outstanding 👌
his camera skills outshines mechanic skills anytime.
Don't forget the ability to ramble on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.
Protip: Flip the driving race so that both are facing the same direction instead of each other, that way, when it's get stuck down in the hub, you have a convenient lip you can use to gently tappy tap the old one out.
Or, grind the OD on the old race just a little and then it doesn't get stuck?

Dump gear lube into hub before axle. Helps no dry bearing till oil gets there
At the chev garage, in the old days, we used to jack up each end of the rear axle housing during the filling procedure.
It saves time, really.
It prevents bearing failure.
Our shop foreman/team leader would ask us to do these things and speed us up.
Ray you should invest in an arbor press for installing bearings seals and u joints. Much faster and better feel for the pressure being applied.
Rock on, Ray! Good to see you servicing your own truck.

Kept getting distracted by the reflection of the new exhaust fan on your intro shot. 😂
The ADD/OCDC is strong today
that high speed and music was very entertaining😅
Hey Ray buy the proper hub socket, torque to 52 ft. Lbs. And back off to next available slot for key way, love the content
If you have a freezer in the office you can chill the bears enough they will slide in
Wow, makes me SOOOOOO happy I got an SUV that is rear wheel drive only, and not a dually. 🙂

When replacing studs and rotors, I usually check and retorque 3 times just to be safe.
Tremendo trabajo, no hay muchos mecánicos que lo hacen tan bien. Lo mejor de lo mejor
My workout video for today, nice
I am so glad you got your Chitvolet Fixed that was amazing..
I'm pressed into exhilarating content! Word of the day. Thanks Ray!

Hey Brother Ray just want to let you know you do a fantastic job on everything you put your hands on you are the best in the world love you brother keep up the good work
always a great feeling to finish a job like thast
You know you can use an impact for that caliper mounting bolt. All you need is 87 wobblies and a buttload of patience...

I have a better understanding of how the big rigs brakes and axles are done. 👍thanks Ray.

Have a great day Ray. Always a pleasure watching you doing you
Good to see the shops going well.
Thanks!
For RIDGID replacement/repair fund.
That’s nice, now i can take this job easily after watching your video, Thanks Ray
26:00 "I don't want hair in my rear end."
Yes I use Manscaped too, Ray.
I was watching you put in those press fit bearing races and thinking that if he had some Molykote G-n Metal assembly paste it would go in much smoother. I then remembered oh, he does have some of that because I sent it to him.
goooood morning, ray
Nice to see the dirty max getting some love
And I thought rebuilding Landrover/rangerover hubs was complicated!
Really like the way the shop is shaping up. All that investment in effort and organization is a dramatic improvement!
Going to be an excellent place to work, and ply your trade. Comfort and style.
We need a brake clean spray can compilation video!
Complete refresh looks good Love the black rotors @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Loved the work and completion of the shop's Dirty Max which is now a happier and safer one!
Great show Ray. Have thought ever thought of oiling your rear leaf springs?
Always like! Wow, still a lot of work to get bearings in.. Now I know why it costs a lot of labor do get mine done.
love that brake pomp saves a lot of work and time.
I always love the videos of maintenance and upgrades to the Dirty Max. You can feel the love and pride in the work that you do on it, even when it’s overdue.
You fought that snap taking out, you probably should have tapped the old bearing down to allow your pliers to go into the holes in the snap ring farther.
The brrrt of the air hammer is very satisfying
Never in my life have I watched someone install a wheel seal like that. Wow. 😅
"I don't want any hair on my rear end" 😂😅🤣 Ray has a hairy rear end that cracked me up 😅😂🤣
Welcoming back!
Check your video at the point you were driving the studs through the rotorinto the hub. there were all sort of little sparklies floating around, maybe metal going into the grease of the bearing.
I’m definitely getting some of those line wrenches. I really liked that. 👍🏻
I have a Rigid just like the one you broke. I works great.
Thanks Ray glad it all ended well for you and you have your beast back on the road again, was great to see some new toys in action and they certainly look a great invention for brake lines.
Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘💖💖
Your press is hilarious! I love the noise.
The flatbed looks good in that color.
Another awesome brake job and rotor replacement and bearing replacement.
Impressed by your thoroughness. Nice work.
