Chevy Silverado center support bearing 

Hey man I never would've had the confidence to cut this bearing off without watching your video. I did it today and it went way better than I had anticipated. I cut within about a 1/16" of the axle with a grinder and a couple taps with a coal chisel cracked it right open! Much appreciation for you!!

This video helped me and my husband, 05 GMC Sierra. Thanks a lot!

Thank you for the video, it helped a great deal, especially cutting off the center support bearing, mine was totally trashed - first time using a grinder - thank you also to DE Walt - great tool.

The sound of speeded up tools is oddly satisfying

Never replaced a carriage bearing before, followed this video, worked like a champ. Thamk you for this video

GOOD TO SEE TECH'S WHO KNOW HOW TO IMPROVISE . I DO THE SAME WHEN CERTAIN EQUIPMENT IS NOT AVAILABLE . GOOD JOB BUDDY 👍

Thanks for showing us DIYers that it can be done without fancy presses. You made it look really easy and I now feel more confident about cutting it off.

It was so refreshing to see a tutorial without air tools!!! But I wish like hell I could move that fast!

I always appreciate when people don't waste time in RU-vid videos... "Here's the garage my dad built in 1963..." Thanks man

Thanks for sharing this. It answered all my questions

Thumbs up. I am handy and was disappointed that I was going to have this done at a shop due to the lack of a press, but this video was great!

Thank you for your time young man.

Great video! Enjoy listening to the birds in the background, better than music!

Thank you! I did just what you showed me and it went perfect. TY TY

Your video was awesome. Exactly what I needed for my 2002 1500HD. I tried pulling the old bearing with a bearing puller. After an hour of fighting it I gave up. Attacked it with my grinder. Worked like a charm. The bearing set with the 1 3/4 pipe was perfect. THANKS

Thanks for the video. Helped out tremendously.

About to have to do this to my 01 Sierra. Good informational video. Thanks

Thanks for the video. Literally just got done doing this. I even bought the exhaust pipe but the 12". Worked like a charm. My truck had been making a squealing noise for a year and was able to narrow it down to either u joints or the support bearing. So I bought all 3 u joints and the center support bearing. Pulled driveshaft and all my u joints were good. Bearing rubber was deteriorated and bearing itself felt a little wonky but not gritty like a typical bad bearing. But I replaced it and no more squealing so far. :)

Nice job!! Im glad theres an alternate when u dont have a press and puller.

Hellyeah man definitely helped me out for sure thank you

Great video!

Good job my friend

Great info

Best vid on RU-vid about this bearing good job man!

Good job

Bro, Get a guard for the angle grinder Before you wear the disc in your face & eat soup for rest of your life. Face guard too, PPE…all of it Cheers, Rob

Thank u sir u was helpful but i forgot to mark mine hopefully all works when i put it back together

Thank you

Very helpful

Neat. Thanks.

Even 3years later ur video is helping however after I finished I realized I forgot to install this ring that goes on after you install the bearing mine was different and didn't have that cup

Very nice video.. got it thanks

Good job taking the time to experiment and share your video, one thing I don't recommend is taking the guard off the grinder, when you do that you're putting your self at risk, you could cut yourself with the exposed area of the cut off wheel that goes toward your hands. Especially for those who aren't familiar with grinders, it's better and safer to use a dremel with a cut off wheel its safer and smaller, It will not cut your drive line and or your fingers.. Good job tough.

this was helpful

Subbed JABO!!!

Thanks man very helpful!

This video was very helpful, I liked your camera angles and visually detailed steps. I thought you could work on your monologue, articulating some of the 'hows' and 'whys' of what you're doing need a bit of work. Thanks for the helpful video.

I wish the shop I paid to have this done would have watched your video.. they mangled the new one and forgot to reinstall the cup when they installed it. Ended up doing this myself a few months later.

Have you ever changed the bearing tbat supports the shaft on the back of the transmission

looks like you could stand to lower the mounting position of that bearing some more?

2001 Chevy Silverado 2500HD My Allison 5 speed also has bolts for the universal up front and does not have the metal plate.

Can you provide the part# you used for the carrier bearing need the correct size

Good tanks amigó

Where did you find that piece of tubing?

I have 94 chevy silverado , extended cab, with a 3 part drive shaft, that's 7 feet long, the carrier barron is bad, need to see how you would install that one, so far ,every video I've watched , usa little different than mine, i haven't actually found my exact year stuck, only 91, 92, , the previous owner put posit traction in it!, And I believe that's what caused my carrier barron to come apart, so please help!!

What Is the bearing that you use?

So mine didn't leak any tranny fluid?? Is that a bad sign?

seems like all auto parts are calling for the smaller diameter by default. Chances are if you have the 2500 you probably have the 40mm

Debes utilizar un extractor, asi dañas el Yoky.

No need to mark the driveshaft, it only goes on one way. It has a double spline on it to line it back up

I am wondering why people do not put anti-seize where the bearing race attached

Wish i had seen this video before i replaced mine. I ended up cutting it off as you did.

When you cut into the race it heated it up and allowed it to come free easier.

Cutting the race is a trick I have had to do on spindles that had welded races. An air powered cut off tool allows for a bit more precision. I'm about to rebuild the whole shaft on my 08 3500HD

I have a clunking and it seems to be coming from that center bearing. Would a bear bearing cause that or the u joints?

You convinced me to take it to a shop where the have the correct tools to do the job.

What do you do if the drive shaft wont disconnect in the middle? Ive put about a can of penetrating oil on it already and it will not budge...

what pry tools were you using

Mine didn’t come with the mounting block that goes above the center support,I’ve already been through 3 carrier bearings in a week

Good job man. ABOUT how long would u say it took you? I subscribed for you.👍

Nice video!! What year Silverado did you work on?

Hey man I just replaced all 3 u joints and center bearing on my 03 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD and I put it all back correctly (I’m pretty sure) and I’m getting a vibration around 20-40 mph what could possibly be causing it?

What Brand is that support bro?

Where did you buy the exhaust?

Is it the same as a 4x4?

Theres a master spline the 2 pieces only go on one way no point in marking them

You tube. Please stop doing so many ads. Hate comments incoming I imagine.

Really 4 ads in this video. Seriously. I hate ads. Boycott commercials.

Dude your shaft between your legs is blue.. better see a doctor 😂😭

Slow down speedy lol

Too many damn ads

1. Get a guard on that grinder. 2. Wear a face shield AND safety glasses. Ever seen a cutoff wheel come apart? It's not pretty.

What year Chevy?

This is not a do it yourself job. Great video tho.

Um Zip tie....WRONG!!!! If you are going to post an instructional video you should do it right.

I payed 280$ for the same problem
