[@lovespeed9266]

I got some good tips off your video thanks mate appreciate it

Dude my rear brake hub was seized on sooooo bad. I beat on the axel like you did and it came off! 15 pound sledge. But even putting the nut on it broke the treads :/

[@azxp]

@Evan_Schewe yeah, sounds like you got your monies worth. I had to replace practically everything. On the bright side, I haven't had to touch it since and it is still doing great. Next time I change the oil. I am going to finally replace the chain and tear the rear axle apart and regrease everything. Thanks for watching.

i have a question when i baught my carrier bearing housing yes its great you said we had to grease the nipple but why do they have that round metal casing inside that carrier case why is it so loose wouldnt that be why the axel and bearings wore?? it doesnt make sense to me how loose and how much play that that piece inside the carrier is just wiggling around in there !??? so im guessing the greese holds it tighter in there ???? 🤦

good work azxp !!!

[@azxp]

Thanks mrsmel269, It worked out great, Thanks for watching!

What kinda grease did you use for the carrier

[@azxp]

I used the red and tacky grease gun grease. Same stuff you might use on your front wheel bearings on your car or truck. I haven't had any issues with it so far, but to service it later, you need to completely take it apart, so when I do that, I may change it up to some sort of water resistant marine grease. Either way, you will be good to go, but if you plan on submerging it, I would definitely use some marine type grease. Thanks for watching. Sorry this happened to you. Let me know if you have any more questions.

[@azxp]

I am not exactly sure what you mean about the round metal casing, but I am guessing that you are referring to a spacer, possibly? Definitely grease it. I think you are correct about the skid plate, I haven't replaced it and haven't had any issues. Thanks for watching.

[@D.hobbyist]

@@azxp yea sry spacer or sleeve but yea i baught a 6000 psi grease gun to do my carrier so you need to buy the green industrial greese and its realy tight

@@azxp how’s it holding up

[@azxp]

@BroncosFan303 Still going strong, thanks for asking. I think sometime next year, I might tear it back apart and clean and relube it, but no issues whatsoever so far.

[@bobbolen57]

I'm in the same exact situation you are. How are those aftermarket parts holding up? Specifically the carrier bearings. My oem carrier is trashed. Was debating East Lake or spend the extra and go LoneStar.

[@azxp]

So a year later and they are still holding up good. One of the nice things is the carrier comes with a grease fitting, but you have to completely dissassmble to get to it. This is nice because it wasn't an option on the stock carriers. My point is it can be maintained. So far so good. Thanks for watching, I hope it helped. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

[@azxp]

2 years later still going strong. I probably should take it apart soon and regrease it, but still going strong. What did you end up doing?
