One thing to note. Put in neutral with the truck off. There is a panel that pops off to the bottom of driver side dash. Use a flathead to release latch and pull handle. You will then be able to rotate gears.

Do the bearings make a whining noise when they are going bad I have a 09 ram

[@keeganbrosseau1092]

A good thing to do is cleaning up your axle shafts with emery cloth fine grit, old seals will make a groove that if not debarred with completely destroy that new seal right away. And you back into the same job

Is this the same procedure with with the limited slip diff?

[@ralphnetzel3461]

Sehr gutes Video .

[@Human_OU812]

Is the passenger side any different as the only side you ever show is the driver side in all the videos regarding the removal of the rear axles?

[@goonkieeyeracing1138]

So does the differental pin and that bolt what prevents the c clips from falling off when assembled

[@roadrunnerskvlogs7073]

Hi there, do you recommend doing the both bearings so only one time changing the gear oil??

[@1AAuto]

+@roadrunnerskvlogs7073 You do not need to replace the bearings in pairs and you only need to replace the side that has failed.

[@antman5959]

Good job I appreciate it

[@BrockBelcher]

On your website it says it doesn’t fit 2016 and up ?

[@budreimer233]

It started with disk brakes in the back then went to drum brakes

[@michael184272]

[@dalton534]

What RTV are you using?

[@donaldrippetoe5246]

Another really informative video! This is a really great channel! Super helpful! I had the same question as @chrisholmes2888? I have a harmonic/whining noise in my truck that I am having trouble figuring out?
