2000 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 rear bearings and seals

How to replace the rear bearings and seals on a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4
Sorry for some of the wide angle lens in the video. Hard to see screen when filming and unknowingly had the edge of the lens in the shot.

[@sleepysilversmith5339]

[@bykeryduh7237]

This video is so damn useful to me I thank you 🙏🏾. My dodge van was smoking I thought it was the brakes but it was the bearing

[@RobKingRC]

Quick tip.. Leave 1 bolt in at the top of the diff cover when separating.

[@JoseLopez-ti1dx]

Pretty good tutorial thanks

[@johnoatman6487]

Thanks man Thats what I have on my truck Same tire Now I know i can do that

[@asanoen1777]

You fellows have way much damn fun!!!!!

[@HighSierraBob]

Great video! How difficult is it to realign the planetary gear if it gets knocked out of place?

[@BackForMore666]

Keep in mind that the guy with the gas station sunglasses on made sure the vehicle was in neutral before spinning the driveshaft

[@theredneckwizard8738]

You got something against gas station sunglasses?

[@andygore1028]

This guys GOLD

[@adrianlozano4694]

Thanks!

[@GLJ3838]

Great video. Hoping this is why my truck been making noise for while. Hoping the differential isn't fucked cuz I've not had $ to Jack it up and try and work on it till recently. 97 dodge ram 1500 4x4 auto 5.2

[@phitness2429]

Nice job champ!

[@CCROSS5882]

what about the oil on the brake pad, did you change those or does it not matter? great video

[@kymspicks2763]

"This is earl after all"😂

[@nicknogalo1535]

Next time you take drums off, pull the little plug off the backer plate and back of the adjuster screw with a philips head.. it will disengage the pads.. you had a hard time because you were fighting the pads pressing against the drum the whole way off....

[@battleshipnewjerseysailor4738]

Let's get the names of parts correct, shall we? PADS go on disk brakes, SHOES go on drum brakes; plus you are totally wrong to suggest a PHILLIPS screwdriver, you need a flat screw driver

[@dshifter3745]

Hey buddy where did you get the part and what number if youve got it please. Just got some replacement bearings from centric but they are way to small

[@cowdough94]

My question is should t there be some .000 thousanths of play in the axle? Hardly any but a little bit? Or shoukd there be none at all?

[@harleydriverpdtnm3996]

Spiny like and tap a roo! By God boy you got er son! 😂

[@SethLikesToEat]

The fine ones are fine

[@blakebabin4961]

Would my bearings be going bad if i feel clicking at low speed turning? I have a 98 ram 3500 dually i feel it in the rear and just replaced u joints and its not them.

[@scottmcdaniels756]

Your spider gears could be going out in the diff, I have an 03 ram mine started as a clicking while turning. It progressively got worse until the gears stripped and the truck wouldn't move.

[@briantruck2284]

Check the fluid level

[@donaldbageant4647]

Glad you didn't get a lot Earl all over the driveway lol

[@raulpezzat5462]

Cardboard and gloves

[@ttburke5885]

Anyone used a brake conversion kit on one yet??? If so what kit worked?

[@TheCthtoNicfLy]

yup that threres yr truck nuts .. you need to adjust your truck nuts

[@joseparamo3119]

What if it doesn’t slide right out ?

[@micmike]

Why didn't you grease up that bearing before you put it in? Was it pre-greased?

[@theredneckwizard8738]

I greased it up off camera before I put it in.

[@mikerodgers7052]

Why would you put grease on the bearings? Now you have grease and oil mix in the rear end. You wanna soak the bearings in clean rear end oil then install them.

[@goodheart2004]

If bearing is like weld in how to get out

[@briantruck2284]

Good thing I just changed my gear fluid 2 1/2 quarts

[@thetruthmatters7]

Thank you, God bless you, and Jesus is the Way!

[@rigvalle6742]

Is it the same on a rwd 98?

[@theredneckwizard8738]

Yes, exact same.

[@mpcoley1]

That seal will never seal again. Next time use a small drill bit and put a two holes in the edge across from each other, then put wood screws in it and pull both at the same time with two pliers, or by putting a little piece of metal between the screws and it'll come out without scratching up the surface for the seal like driving a screw driver in there does.

[@metalmaniaxx]

Is this the same setup for a ram 1500 2002 ,4x4?

[@metalmaniaxx]

@Desmond Emberheart I really hope so..this is the same as my Ford 1997 van.super easy.if it's like a jeep 02 axle setup,it's bullshit..thanks

[@metalmaniaxx]

@Desmond Emberheart oh,forgot to say,mine has disc brakes,not drums..still same?

[@metalmaniaxx]

@Desmond Emberheart thanks..I've got hope..good luck with your project too

[@eyglo89]

where are you guys from :) some strong accent going on

[@theredneckwizard8738]

Eygló Kristjánsdóttir, We're from East Texas and though we do have pretty strong accents, the more we drink, the thicker it gets.

[@PelvisCashley]

Y'all sound fine to me...course I'm also from East Texas.

[@JeffreyStrader]

Why didn't you MIC the axles to see if those bearings might have dug a groove into the axle shaft.

[@JeffreyStrader]

@@dropndeal Oh....hahahaha

[@pcguysoffgridcabin]

Didn't clean off the cover, no prelube on bearings and seal. Asking for problems

[@theredneckwizard8738]

pcguys-off-grid-cabin I ♥️ asking for problems.

[@mopar2ya165]

So why didnt you clean out the axle tube? There is bearing debris floating in that axle tube. Just pull the carrier and brake clean and shove a rag through the tube. Half assed job.

[@theredneckwizard8738]

mopar 2ya cause I didn’t want to! Thanks for the compliment fuck face.

[@stevemaccollum4688]

Didn’t replace the shoes or drums?

[@theredneckwizard8738]

Nope. Sure didn’t.

[@leroygreen1877]

There not called planetary gears (there's no Sun gear) there called spider gears in the differential carrier.

[@leroygreen1877]

​@@dropndeal I learned my A'B'D's and 1,2,4's in So Cal English is a second language down there.

[@Ashroyer86]

Use a sledge hammer not a mallet

[@theredneckwizard8738]

Ashroyer86 sound advise! We learn from our mistakes.

[@hunterguzman6232]

Any one got a parts list for this

[@patrickhamilton1617]

2 rear bearing and 2 seal you can find that bearing puller on Amazon

[@alexanderraymond4634]

Forgot to pack the bearings with grease there bo

[@theredneckwizard8738]

No I didn’t there bo. Just did it off camera.

[@dropndeal]

Those bearings use gear oil, not grease.

[@joelgardner3352]

Watched a 4 minute video to learn what took 17 minutes in this one.

[@rodneylong9632]

Dr. Sasserzac SXSW is sa

[@toddweimer7976]

It makes me mad seeing how rust free a 17 year old truck 😑

[@briantruck2284]

My 31 years old fresh body panels South Texas

[@adriananoelle4699]

Okay, now the fake accent is annoying. I can’t watch any further.

[@theredneckwizard8738]

It’s not fake, and, thank you for not watching any further. The Kardashians are missing your views.

[@briantruck2284]

Good work wizard

[@ToastedOats420]

backyard mechanic.... beware of these guys. yeah, you get the job done, but not correctly. so many future problems arise because of your shoddy work

[@theredneckwizard8738]

I didn’t charge anyone to do anything. It was my truck. Not to mention, it’s a dear lease truck. But, I’m glad there’s assholes out there like you that know it all to warn everyone about people like me. Keep up the good work SJW
