Astro great video, thanks for being quick and concise. Don I think your being to critical, I've changed dozens of bearings this way and have never had any problems, not everyone has a press.
Careful when you torque your nut at the same original position. If the new bearing is slightly longer by a few mils you will over torque to reach the same position. Otherwise good vid, thanks for sharing
lol bro im reading all these haters trying to pick apart your methods. hell you do better work than the largeeee majority. spending time cleaning and greasing. tutut
i agree greg im about to do this same on my grizzly 700, dude does a pretty slick job! you can't pay a man to give a shit, if you do your own work then you know it's done right, and if it is wrong you can't blame anyone but yourself.
Did he just hit the axle thread with a hammer without a nut to protect the thread? Tut , tut! I would also use a press rather than hit the bearings out. Also one good hit rather than many little ones does less damage. Many methods he uses were big no , nos in my training as a mechanic.
Most the time I put the nut back on and hit that but like I said, sometimes the engineers make it easy on us by providing a cut with no threads on the edge
Any bearing puller will work. I used one from this kit but you can buy just a puller for $15. www.amazon.com/GearWrench-41690-Front-End-Service/dp/B000TDCCHW/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1509639020&sr=1-1-fkmr1&keywords=gearwrench+3916d+universal+ball+joint+separator
These are sealed bearings but you still can pack them with a tool made by machined integrations. Very cool actually! After doing some research on my end, you really want to add more grease to the bearing out of the box.
