Right on, OP, very smart. I use a 10-ton hydraulic 3-jaw puller. Works well on this application. Presses and pulls these bearings and hubs very efficiently. Tip: Cheap bearings break very easily on this job.
On the right track by cooling bearing. I mic the bearing there is. 001" of interference. The math of it for the inside of bearing size is at 1.850" for every 90 degree drop in metal temp of that size it shrinks .001" so if ambient or room temperature is about 85 degrees around your vehicle, then by using dry ice you can get the temperature of your part to -40 degrees will make where it will justabout slide on with no resistance. The dry ice temperature is about -109 degrees Fahrenheit. You can get dry ice at the big grocery stores cost about 4 bucks for this job. If it a cool day when your doing this you will need a small propane torch on the knuckle and parts to get the temperature spread of about 150degrees that give you little more than .0006" clearance
What I like about this video is that this guy doesn't spend 3/4 of the video showing his face and flapping his lips. Most people are too enamored by seeing themselves on video. This one gets right to it and no bull. Oh the music's cool too.
Just as a small side tip. Almost all parts places like Autozone, Advance etc etc in America lets you "Rent" a bearing press kit. Mine costed $160 and they give you the money back when you return it. So it's free. You just pay up front in case you decide to run off with it.
@@dinamiton I cannot get the snap ring out I've soaked it overnight in PB Blaster I hit it back and forth with a flat head screwdriver and I ended up knocking one of the ears off and I don't have access to a torch at this time
I had one of these pieces of junk in the shop and the axle spline would not come out of the splined hub. It was rusted in so bad that removing the wheel bearing and axle together as a unit, and no one even then, could press the axle out of the splined hub. So had to buy a complete wheel bearing housing assembly and another axle too. Don't buy these money pits unless you don't care about emptying your wallet. Before we were done the 2003 Ford Explorer would not go into park and you could get run over with it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Much, much easier to hang the E brake shoes on, before fitting, or hammering in the hub, to the bearing, now he'll have a hard time with the hold down springs on the shoes with the hub in the way
@@dinamiton I wrote it all down, im gonna go buy a heat gun so that I can heat up the spindle without warping it like if I were to use a torch to see if I can get it to slide right in
This has to be the most clever, and simple demonstration of doing this potentially expensive job.
Thanks Man!
@@dinamiton So
So far a 12 ton press just starts to bend. No luck so far.
@@francismotzko8487 Heat it up with the propane torch
I reused the spindle, some of the bearing was stuck on, had to cut it off with a angle grinder, thanks for posting

It's good if you have one...
it's such a smart way to put new bearing in re fridge to shrink!

thats some smooth music in your video my brother im gonna have to steal that music
Excellent Video ,A lot of us dont have big expensive presses and other tools , I can barely afford the replacement bearing .Right on ,
Thank you 👍
This is a lifesaver....thanks for sharing 😎👍
No problem! Glad to help!

Great job man
Thank you!
good job my brother with out using a press..............

BRO I NEVER WOULDA THOUGH TO PUT THE BERING AND HUB IN THE FREEZER! if I have the time im going to do that every time at work now
Just a bearing, no hub
@@dinamiton at 5:24 it said "hub also after freezer" but even still ima write this down for when I need it
@@TXpondking yes, you right
@@dinamiton I wrote it all down, im gonna go buy a heat gun so that I can heat up the spindle without warping it like if I were to use a torch to see if I can get it to slide right in
Where were the socket sizes to get the bearing out and in of the hub that you were hitting with?
Mintzz
thought it had to be pressed in
Hydraulic press.
If you have one
