Going to rebuild a dana 60 and 14 bolt using these vids for assistance. Thanks for the help!

[@Offroadfarm1]

Glad to help and thanks for watching!

I have discovered that using a wrench for removing the carrier works pretty well, I used a wrench on one of the Ring Gear Bolts and turned the Carrier unit until the wrench is touching the differential housing, the I turned the pinion Yoke on the Carrier pushed itself out. Tried to remove it with two large pry bars before that and one of them slipped out of place Clunking Me Up Side My Head! 😮. No Fun!

Awesome job so far! Looking forward to the assembly process!

[@Offroadfarm1]

Thanks for watching, I'm working on the assembly video now

Great videos, keep it up. I am in the process of doing a D60 and Ford 10.5" swap to my 2500HD. Going with 4:56 and ARB F/R and your videos have been helpful.

Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching. Good luck on your project!

Man... I need a tractor 😄. Thanks for the info.

[@Offroadfarm1]

It certainly does make moving heavy things around easier! Especially if you work by yourself a lot. Thanks for watching

[@jasonmitchell4588]

Well done

[@rkd350z]

[@Offroadfarm1]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

Great videos ; I don't understand how you ruined your bearings by running hot water through them......did you drive dirt in the hot water into them or what? Excuse my ignorance in this matter, but as long as the bearings were dried & lubricated I would have thought they would be fine. Thanks for great videos. Cheers! Brian Hind

[@Offroadfarm1]

Yes the axle tubes were full of dirt. After washing the axle the bearings were full of dirt/grit and did not turn very well. Technically I didn't ruin them since I didn't run them in that condition. I could have just removed them and washed them out well and just reused them. Since I had to pull the carrier and pinion, and since I was not sure when the last time these bearings were replaced I decided to replace them. Thanks for watching!

[@rubenurquiza8200]

Great channel! More videos coming soon?

[@Offroadfarm1]

Thanks and yes, hopefully in the next few days

[@quentinraley8461]

Just take the caps off and turn the pinion and it will push the ring gear and carrier out.

[@Offroadfarm1]

Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching

[@Ry_Guy]

That does not work.

[@quentinraley8461]

It does work because I've done it many times.

[@kptheanimal6909]

[@fullforce581]

Do you have a name of the puller you purchased?

[@Offroadfarm1]

GXL Carrier & Pinion Bearing Puller Dana 30, 40, 60, 70, 80, Ford 10.25 Clamshell Design bought it off of amazon but it was sold by GXLPARTS

[@fullforce581]

@@Offroadfarm1 thanks. Do you know if it will do 14 bolt differentials as well

[@Offroadfarm1]

I have not tried it on my 14 bolt yet. But I did lend it to somebody to work on a Dana 80 and it worked for them just fine. If it works on an 80 it should work on a 14 bolt

[@fullforce581]

Alrighty. Sounds good hope it works. If not going to return thanks

[@phantomwalker8251]

you gota impact hammer.. turn diff upside down,, place decent bucket under,hit with impact. done. gravity wins..

[@Offroadfarm1]

Thanks for the tip, I may try that next time. Thanks for watching

[@Nightmare_the_xj]

What year 60 is this?

[@Offroadfarm1]

Per the VIN 87 Thanks for watching!

[@mr_mmelk2230]

What kind of lubricant is that?

[@Offroadfarm1]

That is 85w gear oil, I think it is lucas brand. Thanks for watching

[@phantomwalker8251]

if those bearings are that bad,they were bad before,,nothing to do with washing. its stationary,you can clean them in situ..hell i should do vids..

[@Offroadfarm1]

I thought about just cleaning and reusing them, but I decided to go ahead and replace them. Mostly because they are the most difficult and time consuming bearings in the axle to replace. Thanks for watching

[@adamsorell4851]

[@Offroadfarm1]
