You show the patience of Job to do stuff like that without the correct tool.

First the front, now the rear-appreciate you, Sir! My Sierra 3500 6.6 only has 50k miles, but I swear your videos make me want to just start swapping out parts for the hell of it 😂 😂

You could start collecting the appropriate tools now, the special socket, the BFH ( ask me if you are stumped on that three letter designation ) , a fancy press with all the press adapters to press the bearings, the magnetic base dial indicator, the special snap ring pliers, lots of solvent and towelling, box of shop gloves and a box of band-aids might come in handy as well 😁

What you did will work great. Backing it off 50degrees is just a little more than 1/8 of a turn for future reference. Another great video, thanks!

Very good video. I like how you show things in so much detail. Maybe you won't have to do that again for another 500,000 miles.

Thanks for the video. I have a ‘18 Duramax dual with a seeping rear axle seal as next project on the list:

What happened to your bad engine? A tear down video would be cool.

I've been wanting to get it done but haven't had the time. I got really agrivated when i lost the engine swap footage and on video's like that from now on i want to have time to record the project, edit and upload it all at once to make sure it doesn't get lost. Hopefully soon

I would have been really curious to have examined the bearings up close after cleaning them. What one can't see after the non destructive examination is to cut the cages and see what the inner race ( the cone bearing ) looks like as that portion of the bearing if it never slightly walks around on the axle spindle but always stayed stationary due to a press fit ( which they are not on this type of application ) the load bearing side of the cone can wear. If you have not thrown the bearings yet, just for your own curiosity clean them up and then cut the cages and see what you find on that hidden inner surface.
@danielj3230Ай бұрын
I have an honest question. The fact that you were able to un-screw the axle nut by hand, could that have been the reason for the bearing to be loose? I would think that a bad bearing would also have a leaky seal which doesn't seem to be the case here?

not sure if i'm the only one curious. But can you maybe mention or add how much you save in labor doing this your self?
