Definitely some good info in this video. Also the reason you have that little bit of play in the bearings is to allow for expansion when the bearings and races heat up.

This is a perfect video on how to service bearings best one I've seen on KZbin so many of these people have no idea how to set preload on bearings that finger tight method was taught to me in the early 80s from Toyota motor Company. Great job at least one of these videos is done properly.

Great video! So much crazy information out there. It was great to have someone who was knowledgeable, experienced and professional. It was very helpful.

You need to tighten the nut with the hub spinning. Backing off allows the outer bearing to push out slightly and unseat from the race. Finger strength will not overcome the weight of the hub and fully seat the bearing. Spin the hub in the same direction as tightening. Never let go of the nut while the hub is spinning as sometimes the bearing will grab it and over tighten it. This will allow the bearing to pull in against the race and fully seat without excessive preload. The tighter end play this creates will be much much more forgiving if you need to back off to install whatever locking method the nut has.

this is by far the best and most accurate video on youtube on how to adjust Dexter axle wheel bearings, thank you for this!!!

[@donatellitreeservices]

Thank you for posting this, just what I was looking for to replace a wheel stud.

[@whitegorilla2835]

Very informative, clear and concise and to the point. Great video.

Noticed some wear on the rear axle tires of my travel trailer. There was lots of slop in the rear driver side. Figured it was stupid easy to adjust, but wanted to be sure. Thanks for the video!

[@mali540]

Thanks a lot kid! You answered many questions I had. Bravo!

[@robertvoigt1034]

Thanks for the trailer video. I would like to see a video from you on how to properly secure a Jeep on a trailer.

[@doubleq1223]

Thank you for this. Bearings getting a little hot so now I am sure on how to adjust them

[@sudd2685]

Great information, thank you for your video

[@DaveKerwin77]

Great video!

[@bonez6349]

This is a great video... I'll be doing service on mine today

[@kentuckianahunter7194]

Thank you. I was concerned with the little bit of play I have on my wheels. This eased my fears. I do have a question though. Sometimes I have a good amount of bounce back and sometimes I don't do you think it is load distribution, torsion axles going bad or hitch connection not right?

[@Abc-kn5wj]

Great vid, doing my dexter now

[@mikeb4375]

Thanks for the advice. dexter is the axle i have.

[@salvor1]

just checked the Rockwell/dexter service manual for light axles. As i suspected, the bearing adjustment is 1/6 turn loose and more to align the cotter or keeper.

[@bryantjones8039]

Job well done. Thank you. Do you have any older trailers with videos of greasing? If so please send a link. My utility trailer is like a 2000 8x16.
