      @@Automotiveolie Olie, I need some help! I couldn't beat the bloody yoke off of the splines! They are so seized on, I tried heating and beating and all sorts, and I just can't separate the yoke off of the splines. Destroyed the old carrier while attempting so now I am really in a bind! I tried to use the bolt that holds in the horseshoe washer to lever off, then tried to hammer a thick chisel in between the bolt and the yoke to see if that would work, but instead of separating the splines it sent the bolt back into its thread but without even turning!
      The bolt I am not worried about, can somehow get it out and tap a new thread once it's apart, but I CAN'T GET IT APART AAAAH HELP ME

      Ouch. That sounds like a complete mess. Have you soaked it all in penetrating fluid? Have you tried attaching the yoke to an anchor point and yanking the prop ( almost like a slide hammer motion ) another option is to get a friend to help using two hammers beat the yoke at the same time so it evenly has force to move. It will come off. It wants to come off you just need to beat the thing into submission. I’ve had a few stubborn ones before but they always come off.

      @@Automotiveolie It was a mess! I set about it again this morning and with enough heat and about an hour of hammering she came off! Had it soaking in penetrating fluid overnight but I don't think that did anything, it was just sheer heat and impact in the end. Thank god you encouraged me to beat off!
      As a consequence of my furious beating, a new chapter has opened: I think I deformed the yoke a bit and a UJ that was already a bit stiff (probably why the carrier failed) has become too stiff to run nicely, so now there's lots of vibration! Ah, fun.

      @@innocuouspseudonym509 sounds like a complete nightmare! At least the yoke / UJ is a changeable part so not the end of the world. Have a look on eBay I’m sure there’s a cheap 2nd hand one on there. Well done for the perseverance though

    What happens if the bearing is put on the wrong way round?

    • @Automotiveolie
      @Automotiveolie  Рік тому +1

      I couldn’t say for sure but theoretically It shouldn’t cause an issue as it won’t affect its rotation. However it’s always best to fit as manufacturer specify. If it were me? I’d leave it and see how it gets on. Your decision.

    Hello! I have a 2007 transit. Every two bearings have an internal diameter of 30mm?

      Hello, this bearing was replaced on a 2007 transit the same as yours. The bearings should both be the same 👍🏻 I believe they’re 35mm from memory.

      @@alexandredomingues4475 hi. The translation is good. If you are asking about removing the bearing an easy way is to cut it off with an angle grinder.
