- Simple way to install bearing with no need to use a press nor a hammer. If you follow my instructions you will be able to press the new bearing on by hand avoiding expending more energy than needed or risking damage with a hammer
The second you said ice and water it clicked in my brain. You are a saint sir. This is just what i was looking for
Can Put the shaft in the freezer for more thorough cooling and a hairdryer will heat the metal enough to expand. great info!!
Nah, these videos are good!
This was great thank you. I'll add that I had it in ice water and before I put the bearing on I used air in a can upside down to really freeze it. I had to wipe off the ice but the bearing pretty much just fell on there without me having to even push it, let alone hammer.
Excellent video! No extra chit chat.
I'm about to do this next week, transmission is getting done this week
Gmc c1500 421,000 miles!
Thanks again!
did it work?
@@micahl6961 yes it did! I added salt to the ice water, shaft in ice water 2 hours, I set the bearing out in full sun for 2 hours. I used a piece of pipe, 1 1/4 I'd I think. I did have to tap it on with a hammer, it was very easy to do! I hope this helps
@@stephenowen1644 thanks bro. Going to try some dry ice and a gently handled heat gun and see if i can do this job for $30. This is truly a wallet saving tip. Thanks for confirming.
@@micahl6961 if its sunny and over 80 degrees where you are ,I felt safe putting it out in the sun.
Rehears the sequence of moves first, have all tools at the ready, then go for it. Good luck!
Hey man this is awesome! You're smart, just like Grandpa.
Old School - Excellent, Thumbs Up !
Worked great! I added salt to lower the freezing temp of the ice bucket.
good tip
Salt! Did you have salt between the shaft and the bearing......now everything will rust!
Will be trying that tomorrow. Have done same on a different vehicle. Will see how she works in this c4500.
Living in Arizona desert where its 110° everyday we do the ice bucket method but take sheet metal with bearing on it out in the sun. 45mins later its ready to slide on
Well ill be trying this tomorrow
I’ve done that before with dry ice and placing the bearing in the sun to heat up.
It’s about 20-30 in NY right now all I have to do is heat the bearing then
Awesome
Spray the shaft with canned air, use a whole can .
Genius
Worked on my hd2500. Didnt have a torch so i just heated the bearing in the oven, checking it regularly to make sure it didnt get to hot.
What temperature did you have set to and about how long would you say you gave bearing to heat up?
160° in oven. Watch the rubber
Hell yea science 101 . I did with the race and bearing hub seals on 97 12V cummins . I won 500.00 on that bet LMAO !!!! THANK YOU TO THE DUMB ASS WHO BET IT COULDN'T BE DONE WITHOUT A PRESS !!!!
