Ep. 28 - Center support bearing replaced | 1991 GMC Sonoma ST 

Used your video to make sure the bearings orientation was correct. Worked like a charm. Thank you.

This was the only useful video I could find, appreciate the good explanation. same thing happened to the bearing on my 91 Sonoma

FYI, the dust protector, aka slinger, aka flinger that was loose, cut off and tossed is not available as a replacement part. It's actually part of the driveshaft, and is installed at the driveshaft factory. It's purpose is to fling off water, mud and other debri from the driveshaft and deflect flying debri like gravel and sand. It protects and extends the life of the support bearing. You can get by without it. The bearing will likely last the rest of the life of the used vehicle if it's not driven in extreme adverse conditions often.

the bearing facing the correct directing is always the hardest part, and EVERY one of these videos I've watched, they forget the "female" (the smooth metal shiny end) came out of the transmission. That is the front of the truck. The male end, or the exposed gear part is facing the rear diff. I put mine on wrong because I was only listening to what one of these videos were saying, not looking at the screen much.

Damn I just had to cut my bearing off. Glad I saw your video or I might not have had the brave to do it. Also I saved the old bearing ring incase it helps me install the new bearing. 100 stars. Otw to oreillys now.

Thanks for your video.

Very helpful . Thank you.

Excelente video tnks

I didn't know Sean Connery did mechanic work? LOL! Good job bro!

There may be a harder way to do this but im not sure what it would be.

So . . . the big rubber donut side goes which direction (spline gear or u-joint end)? There were so many "wrong" and "nope" captions that I'm not sure how it goes. My finale assessment is that the rubber donut faces the spline gear that goes inside the rear driveshaft . . . is that correct?

I know ill be doing this eventually on my 93

Everybody wants to be mechanic except the mechanics

How where you able to take that cap off that you unscrewed, I don’t want to brake it

I installed mine and it squeaks is that normal or did I install wrong or just needs braking in

Is this the same for a 1988 s10
