I’m doing mine but. How much oil do I put in and were.

Good to hear! Good luck 👍

[@gamerjenkins2053]

Nice, very awesome tutorial with good explanations. Thanks!

[@wreckingcrew5172]

Now I have to give credit where credit is due. I don’t know if anyone else picked up on the fact that you felt 100lbs of torque. And realized you didn’t set your wrench. But we’re dead on when you did. Love it my man god bless you in your business. I hope to have you look at my trucks in the near future. Where are you based out of.

[@teddyrivas1082]

I like your style attention to detail, most people don't take the time to explain the right way to do things like you do! Your a great teacher, if I ever decide to get a truck, will you help me if I run into a situation?

Well done. 👍👏 He had invested in the proper tools to do the job, pay for themselves. 😎💪

[@SOPHIAFLYGIRL]

I like to pack my wheel bearings with red high performance grease when re-assembling the assembly. Sometimes the oil doesn’t get up on the top 1/2 of the bearings right away so packing them adds an extra level of protection during the initial drive period after installation. I think it helps extend bearing life since it has good lubrication.

[@SOPHIAFLYGIRL]

@@sidthesloth128 I've been doing both for close to 20 years, haven't had a bearing fail yet.

[@user-rs1990]

9:46 - That part on the hub is commonly called a 'Tone Ring'.

[@andyg817]

We got a 7.5 tonne iveco, the seal had gone, i put gentle pressure on the bearing with the Press, the other side, pushed out easy peasy... The hub nut locates on the washer holes, , tapered bearing.. Good video 😊

[@krisbarnes1223]

Sweet, I just got my CDL and truck last week. Ran 2 loads and noticed a wheel seal leak. Looks like I'll be getting some new tools. Thanks for the video.

[@rogerbartels5223]

Put High Temperature Wheel Bearing Grease on your Gaskets. It works very well and the Gasket comes off much more easily the next time that you disassemble the parts.

[@MymaJyma]

For the seals that are really stuck you can throw the hub in the drum to help hold the hub in place.

[@coreygreenidge6271]

[@terryj-londonontariocanada4605]

Smart to change them out when doing all your brakes.

[@truckingandfixing]

Yes, the seals are only an extra $35 each, and takes an extra 20 minutes to swap them out while the brake hardware is off, so its a no-brainer to me. The last wheel seal I had to get replaced on the road, out at the TA in Ontario, California, cost me over $500, for one wheel!

Thought you were gonna use the 2x4 to hit the seal from the other in to make it come out . I’ve done it that way too .

So you don't need to add any oil to the hub port ??

[@fathieljali2058]

Good job

[@teddyrivas1082]

It seems so easy when you do it. Cool

[@class8garage308]

proper steps need be followed never put lube on the lip of seal with the scottseal classic install dry, hammder in with special tool untill seated must be done straight

[@Madanchhetri12]

Do you think a 3 ton jack is good enough to lift the axle for a 2012 Volvo VNL ? So i can remove the tires etc

Every how often do you recommend doing them.

[@oglaredo9565]

Gang here learning the game

[@craigjames6504]

Thanks for the detailed vid. You didn't put any oil back in?

[@truckingandfixing]

My seals were not leaking when I changed them out, the reason of changing them was that I already have them apart, It made sense to change them, in case of leaking while I am on the road. After changin the seal, I checked the oil level, it was full.

[@dwaynemcfall3187]

Wondering why you didn’t grease the bearings, very meticulous on the foot pounds, really like your electric torque wrench…….

[@allenwojtasik4843]

I think my wheel seal bearing is going out on my driver side drive axles (front or the back) can’t tell if the sound is coming from the front axle or the back one.. only makes the humming/whining sound when I’m loaded can barely faintly hear it when empty also nothing is leaking.. or could this also be my differential going out? Thanks for your insight

[@truckingandfixing]

did you check the oil in the differential?

[@nickfehrenbach382]

Hoping you actually have at least one jack stand under that chassis that I just can't see. Always better to be extra safe than sorry if that hydraulic jack fails or if the truck somehow shifts itself off of the jack at any point. Love your knowledge your sharing and love the great content you put out. Just dont want to see an avoidable accident happen and you getting yourself hurt

[@localfreight4222]

Do u think is possible to put a semi tire out with a 9 gallon gas power air compressor

[@davidaltrogge]

How do you put the oil back in the hub????

[@mikeschmidt3810]

What are your thoughts on the 6x2 axle configuration?

[@truckingandfixing]

The 6x2 would be great for a Line haul operation where you are on the same predictable routes. It will reduce weight. Giving you a little more load capacity, and in some cases you can raise that dead axle to save on tire wear when its not needed. If you are running over the mountains, in snow, or off road anywhere it would probably not be recommended, that's probably why the 6x4 is more industry standard.

[@mikeschmidt3810]

@@truckingandfixing What about gear ratio? I had a dealer tell me that a 3.08 with OD offered the same performance characteristics and mpg as a 2.47 Direct drive.

[@truckingandfixing]

For the lanes that I run (over the Rockies, Cascades, and Sierras), I prefer a little lower gear ratio. My T680 had 3.36 with a 13 speed(manual) and my T660 now has 3.42 with a 10 speed(manual). I do sacrifice some fuel economy, but I can move pretty easily over the big grades without running my engine too hard. The higher ratios you described are great for economy. I am averaging about 6mpg with my T660 now, with a Cummins ISX 15, about about 550hp, and that's running as fast as speed limits will allow. I may put a 13 speed in this summer to improve that a little.

[@dustingamboa5494]

Do you work on other people's truck? You need to open your own shop. You're pretty good at what you do.

[@neenoonoo2564]

How longe you can keep driving until change it when you recognize it it's leaking oil ?

[@picasso2445]

Until you loose brakes or get put in out of service

[@gasparini76]

Where did you learn this procedure? Please

[@ikstrucking3289]

Sounds like a snitch lawyer?

[@ikstrucking3289]

What is the average life expectancy for the hub bearings? On average, about what mileage to expect from them? I haul most loads pretty light, nothing dramatic Anyone who can answer, thank you, and blessings!

[@MymaJyma]

I've always heard 300k-500k if installed and cleaned properly.

[@ShainAndrews]

If they are adjusted properly, lubricated properly, and sealed properly. Long time. Upwards of 1M miles. Tapered bearings are one of the most robust bearing systems in existence.

[@class8garage308]

Most items yes I agree when your in there replace it if not much cost but wheel seals are different If not leaking and all rusted lips on the metal leave it alone, you will have more of a chance it leak when you install on truck if u just nick it slightly, plus creates a big job that should have been easy job, One exception for techs that are old enough is cast spoke wheels , ask your viewers why??

[@FaithWRanch]

Why wouldn't you replace the bearings while you have it apart?

[@ratnow7]

The bearings on these trucks almost never go bad usually if they go bad it's cost of rear end going down or contaminants in the oil or not changing the oil

[@alptugakkus3120]

I did not see that you put fresh oil in it ?

[@seanharris2081]

That thicker part of the spindle is where the seal sits… not the bearing

[@fannyngangi9178]

Hi Ryan can you fix my truck wheels seal same like you truck…. I have 2007 kenworth t2000

[@truckingandfixing]

Please give Ryan a call to make an appointment. [phone]

[@class8garage308]

Please tell your viewers not all seals are equal when removing hub you best check spindle to be sure there is no "Wedding Band left on there" that will need to be removed by hammer and chisel depending on what seal was used prior, and as far as install depends on seal your using CR SCOTTSEAL CLASSIC will require special tools and Never use oil on lip seal itself with those. totally different install steps with those and they are most common lets say a cr 47697

[@teddyrivas1082]

How much would tjey cost if you needed to purchase them for?

[@class8garage308]

seals run around 40 bucks 37 bucks for scottseal classic

[@Romans12.2Saves]

Not to sound wasteful but if your already doing all this work why not replace the bearings as well? Unless the bearings are like a $500 part then I understand

[@isaiahdaily5574]

Man I wished I worked with people like you, I got a guy from Cuba, no English, 3 from Venezuela, no English, and two from Mexico with some English but all of them have a mechanic mentality better than I’ve ever seen it’s just they don’t know the difference between “proper” and “eh, good enough”, if it drives it works, they forget the details and safety measures, I understand in their countries they had little to work with but dot doesn’t give a shit and these drivers and others lives are on the line with jobs like replacing brake shoes, king pins, wheel seals, etc. I almost had a truck fall in the shop do to improper jack placement, it’s ridiculous and I really wish I was a part of a solid crew or I could just go off on my own, but I don’t have enough resources and knowledge to go completely independent

[@teddyrivas1082]

What is that tool called?

[@Rayden440]

I'm not trying to stop anyone from DIYing, but please read the manufacturer's instruction, this is not something you should attempt after tossing out the instruction papers. Your hub may be different from what is shown in the video. If you mess up real bad, you're lucky if you prematurely wear out the bearing or seal, if you're unlucky you lose both your wheels and it kills someone on the road and you're looking at manslaughter charges.

​@@justinmason4399it is a smart post. So called pro shop screwed my stuff up. Then I learned what axle surgeons are. The shop that did the work was lucky they weren't sued by someone that got smashed by my wheel end. From now on NOBODY touches my wheel bearings but ME

Doesn't work in real world situation where seal is seized up from years of debris.
