[@bobabooie6389]

The deck screw trick is pretty cool. Thanks

[@markmeeks2135]

Your welcome! Glad it helped.

Well you could have shown us the removal and instalation of the bearing races but I get the just of it. Thank u

[@lagit2009]

Thank you you did a great job. Mine is a 3500 dodge dually. Only thin on mine is we couldn't find the right seal! we Thought! found out it is the right seal but on mine you have to take the insert and that top cap off of the seal for it to fit. Other wise the center was to small. They must have change axel spinodal sizes and made them smaller on the newer trucks so they used the same seal but with the outer cap and a reducer.

What do you call that socket from Napa and did you pack both bearings

[@markmeeks2135]

@@set1215 I don’t know what the socket is called. I took the nut to Napa and told them what I was needing and they had it. As for the bearings yes I packed both bearings liberally. You must keep grease away from the seal mounting surface going into hub and on the axel lip. Grease on those surfaces will cause a leak. Use liquid dish soap on seal surfaces and on axel tube. The nut will come off relatively easily when you remove the key. So not a problem to get off and carry to Napa. Hope that helps you.

Can I ask where did you get a manual that includes the real seal etc? The manuals from the parts store don't include this.

[@markmeeks2135]

I got a factory service manual many years ago.

[@wildalaskaadventuresandgam7106]

The bearings are lubed by gear oil on these. You’re not supposed to grease the bearings. Just wet them with gear oil.

[@markmeeks2135]

Sir you are incorrect. Read the factory service manual.

[@rsg1963]

You'll destroy the bearings if you don't use grease initially. It may seem weird, but it's industry standard.

[@PGN21]

What would happen if the seal would be put in the opposite direction its fits nice, thats how my trucks hub is assembled

[@markmeeks2135]

@@PGN21 My guess would be that it would leak and cause premature bearing failure. Proper assembly is critical for long life of the bearings

[@albarino6]

I'm having trouble removing the hub. How did you remove it?

[@markmeeks2135]

Yes the hub is sometimes hard to remove. Just takes a little force to pull off. The seal is is holding it to the axel tube. The seal is a 2 piece seal and will most likely come apart. When you remove the outer bearing it will allow you to wiggle it around as you pull on the hub.

Hi what is the part number on the wheel seal thanks

[@markmeeks2135]

There are 2 different ones. One is for single rear wheel and dual rear wheel. The dual rear wheel is (710563) from oreilly and the single rear is (710564) from Oreilly.

[@marshgonz]

Great video, but you do not pack the bearings. By doing this, you have contaminated your gear oil, specially if you have minimal slip.

[@markmeeks2135]

You are mistaken. According to the factory service manual the bearings are to be packed in grease before assembly.

[@charlescoffey3337]

Go right ahead and don’t pack the beating You will be on the side of the road With one hell of a problem Seen it a dozen times
