Master Zig with another fine repair , thanks for sharing and showing how you use as marker to help with reassembly task. To many times one will just jump into taking it apart; then new stuff comes it and your "How did that come apart" ??? Due to yours years of experience you make it look so easy. After you retire you should work part time at a trade school sharing your years of experience.
Thanks for the video. I have a 2012 Territory Titanium with 145,000 kms. Centre bearing just gave out. Symptoms were shuddering at low speed and checked underneath to see centre bearing is shot. Helpful video. Thanks again.
Done mine last weekend on my 1995 triton ute and replace centre bearing and reuse old Uni joint by using the right tools is a copper hammer and 20 mm solid brass rod in 2 hours. With rattle gun No steel hammer puts too much damage on yolk and tail shaft ...Running prefect
Thanks for the video, just having a break before I put the tailshaft back in. I had those pressed in uni joints so I left them and just undid the nut with. I’d like to say 15/16 but a dremel and a cold chisel, couldn’t budge it. New nut with the new centre bearing luckily.
Well, I will never do that, but I sure learned a lot watching this anyway. That looks like an earth cable going to that bearing. I wonder why. Thanks a lot Ziggy. Enjoyed the lessons.
Thanks Bruce...That cable is very stout and I'm not exactly sure why it's there unless these vehicles have a tenancy to break the center bearing bracket mounts and the shaft falls down...Cheers mate.
Good on ya great job...!!!! I like the way to change a uni joint all the old boys need is a 5 pound hammer and a vice if you took it to ford they would have a “technician” who would have special clamps special in-house designed tools specific for that job..... then charge double if you took him out of that dealership into your workshop he wouldn’t know what to do...!!! old school is the best school......!!!
ZIGgassedUP I Reckon the reason why the dealerships train them that way is to lock them in and keep them on as staff in the longer term because it makes them feel as though they could never work anywhere else....... bloody cruel really
I'm gunna guess you didn't get the two shafts back exactly as they were (clocked) ..It must go back exactly (that's why we make reference marks) or the shaft is "Out of phase" and you'll get that vibration...You either went 1 spline back or 1 spline forward...
Thank you for the information video. I have a 2008 Ford Ranger 3.0 TDCI hightrail supercab (WEAT motor). I need to replace my center bearing after my propshaft entangled a gumtree branch. The previous person that worked on the center bearing did not replace one of the washers and as a result the nut did not have enough surface area for a solid connection thus it was knocked out of alignment. I can't find any mention of the overhaul procedure in any of the manuals I have. Does anyone know if the the center bearing on this variant can be dismantled and reassembled without the use of a press? Also what are the torque specs on the yoke nut? I am assuming around 110Nm.
Great video. Unfortunately my territory has the universal joint stacked. Do you know if there is a universal joint I could put in place of it? I don't think there will be a place to put the lock clip.
I would like to have seen the removal of the shaft.. I want to do this to my own territory.. Im pretty mechanical and do a lot of things myself, but this is one of the ones I haven't yet done so would be good to see.
is that cable on there to keep the drive shaft from hitting the ground in case something breaks? I'v never worked on one of those, that bearing assembly looks like thing they used on trucks .
what year is this ford territory please i have a 2011 SZ RWD 6 spd petrol the centre bearing is gone but the rubber behind the ball joint in my tail shaft is good, i was told to get a good second had shaft would be easier so i bought one of another car 2013 with good solid centre bearing but the rubber behind that ball joint is not so good that is on the next section just up past the centre bearing mine also doesn't look to have uni joint i dont think, can they be split and changed please
@@ziggassedup thankyou Ziggy the second hand one has a good centrebearing the rubber is a bit warm though just past the centre bearing see how we go thankyou Ziggy I appreciate it
Great video thanks. Got mine to do, got a replacement centre bearing assembly ok but haven’t got a new uni. Would you have a part number for the Uni and where you got it from?
Cheers mate..Sorry but I don't know the part number...RUJ-2109 seems to come to mind so check that out...Most any spare parts place should have one in stock...Is there a Burson Auto parts near you.?...Just quote the rego number and they will know exactly what you want...Good luck.
Awesome video mate. can you please tell me if possible what size the bolts and nuts are . On the donut the cv and the Nut that holds the yolk at the centre uni cheers
My Ford territory SX 2009 petrol happen to have a pressed on center barring which every mechanic we went to refused to repair it for us, some even suggested that we need a whole new drive shaft to put in which cost around 2k for that.....that's what I heard from my husband talking to them, wish there is an easy and cheap way to go about it, we are still not getting it fix yet, just looking around if there is someone out there have a solution for us...Cheers great video by the way, thank you.
Yes there is an un-serviceable tail shaft and your only options are to have a driveshaft company alter your shaft or buy a new shaft...The last one I changed cost $1200...Labour is about $100. so $1300 Max anywhere I'd think.
@@ziggassedup thank you for your reply, I appreciated it very much sir. Hopefully we can get it fix soon, while you are so kind answering my first question, can I just please ask one more question why my car steering wheel keep pulling to the left? We changed the lower right ball joint last week. Thanks again.
@@ziggassedup made an appointment for next few weeks, but want to sort out this center barring first, we worried that might need more than steering alignment done, because there are noises that coming out from underneath the car, could be some joints come loose somehow? It is hard to find a decent mechanic around where we live, two weeks ago we've got charge 380$ for ball joint replacement (the deal was he will replace the ball joint and center barring but he could not do the center barring still charge us for the labour of removing drive shaft) he is just a backyard mechanic. Do you normally sent the part away to adjust before you put back on the car or the owner has to do it ( I meant the owner need to sent the part away for adjustment) and you just fit it in after it return. I am sorry for all these questions, but I just want to learn about car in case I need to see mechanic myself in the future. Thank you very much for you generosity.
@Wiremu Green thank you mate, we got them fixed already, by a engineering place that specializes in all kind of drive train and with a reasonable price too, it is called daniel engineering Pty Ltd in Unanderra ,NSW.
Great video Zig, what are the options for doing a centre bearing on a 08 BF XR6 with a staked uni joint. I’m being told to bin it and get a whole new shaft.
At a pinch I know a guy that pinched the nut around loose and then did the opposite after the new bearing went on...I'm not a fan if that idea...I recon you bin it and replace it with a shaft with replaceable unis...Cheers mate.
@@ziggassedup Cheers for the reply mate. I did attempt that exact thing this morning with no success. Sacrificed two of my spanners attempting it too 🤦🏼♂️ I have watched a couple of UA-cam vids of blokes replacing staked in unit’s with replacements that use the internal clips. Do you think that’s worth looking into, or just bin it? Cheers again mate.

Hey mate, I've got an 05 territory AWD. Shuddering from take-off, low speeds only. Would this be the center bearing? Great video, nice and to the point!
Yep most likely the center bearing...Easy check is to slide under and give the tail shaft a shake at the bearing...If it's crook you'll be able to move it around...Cheers Simon..
Can I be honest. I'm not a mechanic, but you do this job a bit too smack bang bang hammer on metal whack bang whack bang bang she'll be right mate. Is there not a more slightly refined way to get it done? How much does this job cost for a Territory, and what city are you in.
Yes there is a more refined method but there's nothing more pleasurable than whaling on something with a hammer...I'm in Sydney...Around $250...Cheers mate.

What sort of car do you have and when do you feel the vibration.?...At a certain speed or when you take off.?..Is it in the whole car or just in the steering wheel.?..I need to know more...
@@ziggassedup i did mine yesterday, i made my own special punch to make flairs to hold the caps in, did twice as many as factory. I will add if you come across this types the uni is extremely hard to get out but can be done. Probably wouldnt do it again though 😂
