Driveshaft 103 - Replacing carrier bearings 

nothing like hearing a crunching sound, then seeing the very first hit on RU-vid for replacing carrier bearings .... is yours ! great video, thanks so much for that!

We have been manufacturing Drive Shaft rebuilding equipment for 30 years. You guys produced a top video.

Hands down...THE best tutorial I have seen thus far when it comes to automotive repair and knowledge thereof. Damn near perfection. We could intersperse 3d modeling and graphics minimally and make it ridic, but time is better spent making another! I thank you so much for putting this together!

Finally a DIY video on how to r and r a center support bearing that actually shows how it's done. Too many on here show everything but the trip they took to have it pressed on or how they screwed up the first time and had to buy another.

This is the best guide to removing a carrier bearing. Thanks guy! If only more videos were like this . To many talk bullshit for 10 mins at the start.

Lots of info and visual assist. Perfect! Appreciate speeding through the dead air.

Great, Tanks for getting right to the point and no bullshit!

Yea i can see your point I did this same rebuild a couple years ago and used silicon and had no problems.

This is an excellently produced video. Thank you for this!

Good afternoon 4g63justin, That is a very good point. The downside to this method is keeping the driveshaft centered in the rubber boot that the bearing rides in while the window weld dries. If the shaft is off centered when the window weld cures, the vibration could become much worse. I found cases of the instance mentioned above while doing some research on filling the carrier bearings. I am not saying that it will not work, just pointing out a flaw that needs to be addressed.

great video, and for those who don't know, a millipeter is a unit of the petric system.

Hey this helped my husband fix some carrier bearings on a Ford truck. Didn't fix the problem but the video you guys did helped him do this. He commented that the production values on this video were great. Now if he can just figure out what's causing the whining/scraping sound while the truck is in gear...

Thank you for making this to the point, and not wasting any time. Unfortunately that's not the right drive video for me. 🤦‍♂️

Very cool, thanks for speeding through the repetitive parts!

The DSS piece only replaces the front two sections of the shaft and you must reuse/rebuild the last section. The DSS piece cost 800 bucks and you still have to rebuild the third piece. This includes one carrier bearing and at least one ujoint (not sure if the middle joint is included). The shear price and my goals are the reasons I went with the stock shaft. Depending on what needs to be replaced on your shaft and your goals should be the overall decision maker. Hope this helps.

Nice tip on the hammer shock, to the side, insted of inline... I'm usaully incline to double wrenching rather than putting a hammer to the wrench, unless its a slugging wrench, which I haven't seen since I left the yards...LOL... I also enjoy watching the whole or at least most of the project in the same day, lets face it, it beats the boob tube!

I'm a mechanic and I and don't sub TV's channels but you guys did an amazing job with the commentary did Did great job with vid thanks and I subed made it very easy to send this vid to a customer

I didn't realize the carriers were empty like that. I can see where filling it with rtv can help stabilize it as bandaid as some have done.

My driveshaft is alot different and since you have so much fun you could help alot of people there aren't any videos on 96 camaro v6 driveshafts

Really a fantastic video (and a great camera, btw, way better than the junk I'm using) but I only want to take issue with one thing, but it's kind of major. I know the vice has the V's in it for grabbing round objects, but they're NOT FOR DRIVESHAFTS. Those are called PIPE vices, and driveshafts are not made out of pipe! The tubing, especially on light vehicle shafts like this is remarkably thin and very susceptible to denting, and grabbing them wrong in a vice plays hell with driveline runout and can cause vibrations that are un-correctable without re-tubing the shaft. The only acceptable place to grab a driveshaft in a vice is with the regular jaws and on the weld that joints the tube yoke to the tubing. I didn't see where you guys did any noticeable damage (I've seen another guy's video where the driveshaft was CLEARLY egg shaped by the time he got done squeezing it in the vice and pounding on it, all while he's extolling his virtues as an 'expert' mechanic...) and everything else you demonstrated was spot and and very well done, but it's one of the things I see done wrong over and over, and it really causes a lot of serious and expensive damage to otherwise good shafts. It's always disappointing to create more problems while repairing another.

Good thing he had millipeter tools. I have to replace a carrier bearing on my Titan. Where can I get tools in millipeter?

Amazing video, 👏 you sir are truly a Legend and a shining beacon of information for those of us in the DSM community. Was there ever a follow-up video for lobro and U-joint replacement?

You guys a so legit! I would most definitely let you guys work on my own car! Thanks for the video!

Your videos are very detailed and extremely helpful thank you for taking the time to make these!!!

Nice and easy setup

Looks easy with them tools lol I have 2000 Gmc Sonoma and center carrier rubber brushing worn out I don't think bearing broke yet.

great video, I don't know if I will attempt to do this on my own, but great video. I have a 98 Volvo s90 and that (what looks like a carrier bearing)-rubber part is torn on mine, and when I hit bumps in makes thump sounds under the back seat of the car.

wow looks so easy when see a PRO doing it.

What exactly is a millipeter?

I would buy that place on the strength of it having an impressive workshop..LOL - my wife however would probably think differently. All I know is, you'd make a great neighbour for me!..ha ha :) Keep up the good and the great, have a nice day... ;-)

I like the Millipeter tools !

Awesome video guys yall do great work. Wanna come to Leesburg and fix my front drive shaft on my 05 dodge ram 1500?? Haha

Good video guys

Hey Guys, replacing my carrier bearings very soon and I was wondering if you guys knew the part number of those 27mm nuts, and washers. Ive been looking all over but cant find a pair. thanks.

A good idea to stiffen up the carrier bearing bushings is to inject silicon or polyurethane into the hole on top and bottom of the bushing their is a how-to on vfaq its under drivetrain/driveshaft/driveshaft thump fix with pictures.

2 in a row, omg this is awesome!

What's the labor time for some thing like this? I believe this is something I need to get done, I'm just wondering how long this takes start to finish.

Mark the yoke and replace in same orientation.

This is the situation I'm in with my evo right now. Typically the transfer cases are pretty fragile so I ended up replacing it with a known good one. Now I still have a humming/whining sound. Which is leading me to think it's the carrier bearings, rear diff, or a wheel bearing. It's coming from the rear end

hahahaha millipeter!

Have you ever looked at a picture and thought "there is no way that is me"..... :)

thanks for another great video jafro

Nice work!

Well done

Thanks for uploading, my cv needs changing

What vehicle does these carriers go to? I search for my vehicle. This video didn't say

I would have like to hear some Benny hill music during the speeded up parts. Lol

Hello, do you know where I can find the lobro joint boot for a 2010 Lexus RX350? Thank you!

Great video!

Y'all Rock. I'm a plumber and know what It's like to have underappreciating people thinking that you're JUST replacing a part! There are probably a thousand things that will go wrong whilst I'm trying to do this, but at least I don't have a shade tree.... but I have a beer. Btw... Does this video apply to Subaru Outback?. haha

Hi i was wondering how to get the yoke off. i have removed the nut but the yoke does not come off that easy. i've tried to heat it up and do everything i can think of.

Does a carrier bearing come with two thin washers one in front and one in back I would like to know

Can you replace the carrier bearing on my 96 camaro driveshaft and make a video.

So I have an annoying noise that comes in at 30mph, then dissipates at 35 ish, until I hit 60 and it's there again, and it's gone after 65mph. I cannot find that it's either of the four wheel bearings, could it be one of these acting up? None of the diffs run hot.

Hi Jafro, congratulations!! Is there any simple way to lubricate the driveshaft, without having to disassemble? my looks fine, I just wanted to have the zeal to lubricate it .. after all this time and really do not want to disassemble. Thanks man!!

could this make a humming sound? specially when running at 70kph up? my wheel bearings are newly replaced

Hey Jafro... Once again! Excellent video... What do you think about using the Torque Solution carrier bearing bushings? According to them, they're not made of rubber, but made of Delrin Polymer instead (whatever that is)... I'm on my way to rebuild my driveshaft, and you're opinion is important to me!

Wish my carrier bearing was that easy...unfortunately it's at the bottom of a shaft too long to reach with a socket, and no pipe I could find would fit over it to push the bearing on. I'm pretty sure I killed the bearing, but the car is driveable and it rattles a lot less....ugh.

Just couldn’t wait to say Milliepeter

Thank you

I love cleaning job!!! Same style ;)

Is the front carrier bearing the same as the rear carrier bearing does anybody know?

You said that this was a 07 to 09 ford edge what is the part # for the cerryer bear?

good video, thanks

What would cause vibration under my center console when i accelerate from a dead stop or when i have a full load of passengers?

I have a 2006 dodge charger is there a difference between the front drive shaft coupler and rear I'll appreciate your advice ty

Every video on RU-vid does not show pulling the u joint and or driveshaft from the vehicle. Why is this? Because I just cannot get the caps to move at all. I'm thinking about 5 gallons of gas and a match should do it!

The drivetrain in my '80 corona is thumping/shuddering under load at any rpm or speed, the faster the harsher and especially uphills. Would the carrier bearing be a good place to start?

Would it sound like mud tires going down the road

excellent

Are the carrier bearings the same for the Galant VR4 as well? This may be a rhetorical question for some

I call this a pro job.

Great video You just forgot to mention to what vehicle/truck does this apply to?

milipeter........legend

would you replace the driveshaft or carrier bearing due to vibration

That would be a Spline, SHAFT ! AlEX

My carrier bearing always gives out every two years getting tired of replacing it.

How do u put a rear tail shaft coupling on a Vy 2003 wagon

Does anyone know what the part number or the type of bearing I need to get to replace my bearings on my 2008 Lincoln MkZ? Need some help thanks.

nice tools.

It's a 96, I have a 95gst ecu that I want to try but I don't wanna fried it, any ideas on what to do?

are you suppose to grease the area where the inner race of the bearing is suppose to seat on the shaft? are you really suppose to hold the automotive drive shaft that way in a vice? shouldn't it be supported by the welds?

I love to learn new things. Great content. I am supporting you. @IAmACreatorBDL

millipeter...like it

What is the size no of bearing

Did he say "millipeter" instead of "millimeter"?

did he say milipeter wrench?

yup i will as well

milipeater....? Sounds like I need to update my toolkit... Hahaha.

what grease do you use when u put the yoke back on?

Idk much about drive shaft an I'm looking either to replace the carrier bearing or buying DRIVESHAFT SHOP ALUMINUM REAR SHAFT 650HP: MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE 95-99 AWD, let me now jeff what u think about it

i can buy a remanufactured drive shaft for $150 with a ten year warrantee. Why go through the headache?

Id just use the old nut with thread locker.

lolooool millipeter.

lol 17 millapeter I love your vids man

Even i understood :D Nice !!!

if you don't have a press how's the best way to remorse and install a center support bearing and also no bearing puller

Cool stuff thxs

Can you tell me which model wilton vice that is?

Is this driveline shaft from a Mitsubishi 3000gt
