I like how you show how things can go wrong. Only a couple RU-vidrs show the good and the bad in a video.

@petermead7510 3 года назад

Thank you. I'm not s skilled mechanic but I did my front cv axles last summer and figured I could tackle the rear no problem. I didn't know what I was in for and ended up having to purchase an H-frame press from harbor freight but it was only $140. I still saved a ton of money doing them both myself and this was the only video I found on RU-vid with the answers I needed. Very appreciated.

@URMyTorment 6 лет назад

oven set to 100 deg C for a couple of hours would grow that collar and bearing enough to just drop it on.

@jeeper2371 3 года назад

Its prepacked with grease , A proper press would work fine.

@MCarberry89 8 лет назад

I had to do the same process to replace a seal in my 1988 YJ with a Dana 35 rear axle the axle was leaking gear oil and it smells bad when it's heated up. BleepinJeeps is awesome, keep up the good work Matt

@marlow7502 8 лет назад

just a tip from an experience of mine doing similar job on a Ford 9inch axle. I had the pleasure of doing it twice because of seal leaks. When putting the seal on the shaft put some lube of some kind on the part of the seal that mates up to the shaft. When I put my seals on dry it damage the seal and created a leak. Not a job I enjoyed doing twice since you have to destroy all the parts to remove them. Just my opinion and experience with this. Good video though.

@kristiancastillothegreenje1395 3 года назад

Glad to find this tip, about to do mines soon these days, since I ran into a leak on my rear dif 🔧

@fordfalcon85 7 лет назад

Hey man, I'm currently replacing the axle bearings on my Holden (GM) Kingswood HZ and this is EXACTLY the video I needed. Thank you from Australia.

@mjallenuk 8 лет назад

That chain job was fun to watch... I'd like to see that plate drilled to accept a slide hammer and see how it compares...

@mrblanche 4 года назад

I have used a slide hammer with just a hook to grab the race on one side.

@timfee8020 6 лет назад

Thanks , I don't have a welder or a deep freezer big enough to put an axle in it. Good common sense and effort will work on most repairs. I echo the comment below I like to see things that went wrong and how you work through them. Good job!!

@jahazielavitia2371 7 лет назад

Thank you bro for all your hard work... We learn a lot from your videos...I hope you get compensation some how. Keep up the good work. Keep them videos coming.

@SGWalker961 8 лет назад

amazing timing I've got all new parts for my 44 coming, this vid will help with my first build!

@RaisingAwesome 4 года назад

Great video. Thanks for posting. I find it best to press the old bearing on separately from it's retainer. Doing them separately, a pipe works with several smacks. I use the old cut off retainer as a free floating collar to protect the bearing from the pipe as it is driven down.

@LBlast1 7 лет назад

Ha I did learn something and I like that you included everything you tried - not just what ended up working the best. Thanks!

@TheDuck8679 3 года назад

Thanks so much for this video, I have a 76 cutlass dirt track car and my axle slipped out on me during a race. I have searched 8.5 10 bolt GM all over the Internet and this is the only video showing how it all goes together.

@ericfaley9019 8 лет назад

Tip press the bearing on first then the collar. Much easier. Use a slide hammer with a hook end. Snap on tools has a set up. Also the pipe can work if it is the right diameter and if it threaded pipe you can put a cap on the end and use a hammer if you don't have a press. Press is preferred.

@xMikeLynchx 6 лет назад

You can take your pipe and a floor jack find something low to pin it under and jack it up. I use my front porch.

@randymears1378 3 года назад

Very helpful and appreciated. I used a slide hammer to easily pull the race out. Thanks again.

@ColinDies Год назад

The pipe method absolutely works, however, it is a long and tiring process (just went through this yesterday for the 2nd time in a couple of weeks). You'll need a pipe longer than the axle, and slightly wider in inside diameter. Oh... and a 5lb sledge hammer. Count on it taking anywhere from 10-20 minutes per side. One last thing.... Make sure that seal retaining plate has the inside ridge/lip pointing TOWARDS the seal (towards the inside/differential). Or you'll be doing it a second time like I did. :)

@juanmendoza7648 3 года назад

Did very well in explaining the steps, your video helped me so much !!

@joelafleur6423 6 лет назад

Good video, some times the race gets left behind in the tube. I got a whole new set up axle shaft all assembled. New bearing looks different then when the old one is pulled out.

@jamesdecanteur4485 Год назад

Tip: grind a cut into the old race to make it able to slide into the axle tube easily and then use it to hammer on to install the new race.

@Russworld1 6 лет назад

Very good video. Keeping it simple. I love it 👍

@nathanielmarcum7093 8 лет назад

slide hammers work great. I had to replace the seal on my wife's 04 Cherokee and bought a slide hammer from harbor freight for cheap!

@solonis1 8 лет назад

@78dwk 8 лет назад

some great tips matt, for those that dont have alot of tools,godbless

@mrblanche 4 года назад

Just a hot tip (and don't ask how I know this). When you're pressing the collar/bearing package on, be sure that the steel pieces pushing the collar on are NOT QUITE against the axle shaft. If not, you will damage the axle shaft where they press against the axle. Leave a little clearance so that they will still clear the shaft when they reach the part that is larger.

@stuckinmygarage6220 3 года назад

I appreciate the garage ingenuity! :-)

@MarinerAtHeart92 6 лет назад

Hey Matt, All your videos are awesome. Appreciate the humors, hats, and disclaimers. Question though. Why are the Bearing/seal/collar still attached to the axel when you pull it out? All other videos I've seen shows the axel sliding out and your left to slide hammer the small bits. Is it your year/model?

@shansiddiqui3951 4 года назад

Do bearings usually come with collars? I bought the seal and the bearing for my wrangler tj Dana 44. Do i need to order the collar separately?

@BastardoDemonio 8 лет назад

When changing a seal/bearing I just welded a piece of scrap to the inner race and pulled from there. The heat made it a bit easier to slide as well

@frankjones5526 6 лет назад

Thanks a lot, good to see helpful Mechs.

@slowmojoe69 5 лет назад

What would you do if the tube was screwed up where the outer race was sitting?

@tomferguson4996 2 года назад

@endtimeawakening5557 Год назад

The chain idea is a good idea for removing the tube race, but a bit dangerous. Would a pry bar get the job done? Great video, thanks for sharing!

@scottcnossen6895 7 лет назад

@dheaps114 8 лет назад

next time put the retainer in the oven at 450 heat it up and it will slide right over the shaft

@oatz1878 8 лет назад

My Dana 35 was way easier. Little c-clips and it slid out. The bearing and seal was pressed into the axle tube, not on to the axle. I used a cheap bearing puller to pry the seal and bearing out and a piece of pipe and a mallet to put the new ones on. Seemed easier than that bearing setup. What model axle is that setup from?

@dryzix 7 лет назад

im not certain which axle hes got but im about to undertake this on my D35, my more knowledgable friend has told me this no c-clip setup is what they used in older D35s like my 90 yj and in D44s

@pidgeiam4979 8 лет назад

Hey Matt great tutorial and just the advice I need. One question that puzzles me and I know you mentioned it kinda, but how do you know when it safe to stop pressing the bearing on? I know you said "when it stops", but is there a chance of pressing it on to much? Thanks. -Pidge

@bleepinjeep 8 лет назад

+PiDGE IAM - you have to know your tools.... you can see it seat all the way down and you'll also feel the press giving more resistance than it was before.

@WildLifeService 4 года назад

I usually use hydraulic oil heated to 300-325 degrees soak the bearing and it will slide on. Also when removing that bearing race I normally use a blind hole pulled or just weld a small bead on the inside surface of the race and it will basically fall out of the axle tube.

@hslhunting 8 лет назад

Great tutorial, it's funny cause you show things going wrong like everyone else has. You definitely should've had at least a pair of safety glasses on at 5:30 though, something could've gone wild there haha

@brennandc 2 года назад

What keeps the axle from just slipping out of the axle housing during normal driving when turning a corner hard? The retaining collar is only really only holding the bearing that's press fit on the axle shaft right? Cause there's no "C" clips holding the axle in the differential...I don't get it

@dustinschaefer1 8 лет назад

you should make a video on removing the yellowing on a headlight with mud

@ShawnMc749 7 лет назад

Another tip for removing bearing races that are scrap, lay a bead of weld on them. They'll pop right out.

@jd8230 8 лет назад

Like a true weekend mechanic

@foxlogan6031 7 лет назад

how do you install the new race? just by tightening the axle back on the axle housing?

@deepbludude4697 6 лет назад

A little late possibly and I'm certainly no expert....after pressing my replacement bearing in backwards and having to cut the whole deal off again... but after u press the bearing (taper end facing pinion) and pressing ring (locking ring) race will slide off the end of the axle, set the race In the tube end of axle using a block and hammer with light taps, makes sure u leave the proper end out of axle tube .020 I believe. then install the axle. Use proper sealant as noted in other comments. been dealing with dyslexia for years haha....

@cleverj90 6 лет назад

When I pressed on the bearing and collar, a thin piece of metal ring shaving fell out. Is this normal or do you think it damaged and shouldn't be put in?

@bleepinjeep 6 лет назад

Hard to say from here, did you get it on crooked?

@cleverj90 6 лет назад

BleepinJeep . Turned out fine. Apparently it can happen per Revolution gear and axle.

@Dorian451 8 лет назад

is there supposed to be lube between the race and the shaft?

@bleepinjeep 8 лет назад

+Dorian Sonneman - it may help to seat it but no it doesnt need to be

@mackebest1995 8 лет назад

if you dont have a press put the axle in the freezer for a cuple of hours and the new bearing should slide on easy

@TheMetrefekseli 6 лет назад

Could also heat the bearings around 100 degree Celsius in a oil bath, metal expand and is much easier to fit.

@jacobaaron978 8 лет назад

have you tried heating the bearing and freezing the shaft?

@richardbogdanowicz3670 6 лет назад

Just a thought but if you tack weld that scrap to the race it would hold its self and also be heated. Might come out a lot easier

Or use a dremel and cut two slots in the race and use a hammer and punch and hammer it out

c-clip eliminator kit? I kept thinking that with all this work, why are you not using a c-clip eliminator kit to secure your axel?

@NickInTimeFilms 8 лет назад

+Paul Gdry Rear Dana 44s (except for aluminum zj 44s) are non c-clip. That's why he installed an axle retainer plate.

@chadgdry3938 8 лет назад

did not know that.. thanks but that plate did look really weak and flimsy for the stresses that would be involved with pulling an axel off...

@bleepinjeep 8 лет назад

+Paul Gdry no c clips involved, and retainer plates don't fail, the stresses are not in that direction.

@graken22 6 лет назад

I would have pressed the bearing on first then torched the collar, It will fall right down with ease? Just sayin...

@desertrat7162 8 лет назад

i know another way to remove the bearing cup. if you weld about 1/2 long beads at four spots on the cups face where the bearing needles ride it will make its in side smaller. it will almost fall out then when you let it cool down. :)
