[@grantlafleur2965]

Just wanted to thank you so much for your video with all the details. I was able to follow your detailed instructions step by step. I was able to change my son's axle yesterday in 4 hours. Not bad for never doing that before. Grant

[@jodirt7501]

Very detailed work done with professional step by step care. I especially like the last part about tipping of the axle at the end assuring the fluid made it to the bearings . The bearing removal looked a bit brutal having to use a slide hammer and all . That was a lot of work . Thank You for the training.

@7:02....I've never heard that before, and as long as you open the fill cap on top of the master cylinder to allow room for the fluid to expand from the cylinder being pushed, you're fine....even on ABS systems.

[@johnrsherwood]

[@badgerwaxer1]

@@dwayneholbrook4056 Ya, same here. used a C-clamp on the piston with the old pad or a thin strip of metal, nothing fancy.

[@AnthonySvt_]

Personally I’ve never had issues with out removing the cap nor loosening the bleeder screw. I just push in the calipers slowly.

There’s no manufacturers that tell you to open it. Just open the master cylinder cap

Is it safe to just use the slide hammer to remove the seal and bearing at the same time if they're both coming out anyway? Or is there a reason to remove them separately?

[@nahnahidc4280]

I took them both out with the slide hammer a lot quicker and no difference

great video. Hope I never have to replace the seal on my 89 f150. Good tip about tipping the truck to let the fluid run to each bearing

[@miahcollins4945]

Definitely an awesome video great job of explaining everything down to the T

[@BigAlWillis]

nice detail & informative video. only things I'd do a lil different is RTV on the inside of the cover bolt holes because if on the outside it still could seep through those openings, The way it is applied in the video the fluid would reach the bolts before the gasket seal. The other would be the scraper could gouge the rear end housing or cover resulting in a leak. I like to use a gasket remover wheel or razorblade. just my opinion. excellent video, thumbs up

[@mikeashford9240]

I so love it when people use the correct tools not something I see much on you tube thank you so much great video .....

[@martinscanlon9423]

A bit late to the party here, but I have to say, that was another excellent video. I hope my technicians are as thorough as you are, and I feel better now about being charged for "shop supplies". Being ignorant, I looked it up and for anyone else like me, RTV is an abbreviation for, "Room Temperature Vulcanizing", Vulcanizing being the hardening of rubber, and Vulcan being the ancient Roman god of fire and other hot things.

[@robertwriley]

Good knowledge Sue. Your verbal skills and the camera work are much appreciated. I subscribed. Thanks

[@mehnlo]

Your RTV around the bolt holes should go in the inner surrounding the hole not the outside, this will risk fluid leaving through the bolt holes.

[@douglasphillips24]

Definitely need the right tools & replace both bearing & seal while your in deep into that job. Good easy to understand instructions including mentioning the ABS module can be damaged by not bleeding the piston. Thanks . Now I get to do both of my 8.8 rear axle seal & bearings even though only one is leaking because I'd hate myself if I only did one side only later to have a bearing failure at highway speeds.

[@ilovemyevo556]

they don't really fail though.. they just get noisy

[@BenG78]

Did a great job on the one side you did, still I wonder if there's a different for the other side because of the big ring gear you have so how you take the axel out ? Help please... I know you say just do the same process for the other side but is there anything I should know before I try to pull the axel on the other side

[@chrischery2733]

When you are sitting in this F150 you make it look gorgeous.

[@roylintz5130]

How do you remove the one that has the bearing and seal in one unit. The big 2inch bearing.

[@bernhard8540]

I've changed an absolute crap ton of breaks on newer and older vehicles of all types and never have i ever hurt the ABS system by using my caliper compressor tool while not touching the bleeder... maybe if you were superman and could seriously smash the caliper piston back in the whole way with a flick of your finger than yesh but as long as you go nice and easy and allow the system to take the fluid back in its fine.. not hating on your video its a good video just stating that it doesn't hurt anything when you press your brake pedal its pushes fluid towards the caliper when you release the pedal it goe the opposite direction just like when you compress the caliper piston back in with the proper tool and go nice and slow....if most people are watching this video to do this job themselves then they are probably newer to being a mechanic which means they probably don't have the correct wrenches or sockets to loosen the bleeder properly so unless you absolutely have to don't touch the bleeder and cause yourself a bigger headache... just make sure to pump the brake pedal before starting the vehicle when the job is done and together until it becomes pretty stiff and won't go to the floor and then start it and pump it a little more but go slow while doing all of this and bam your ready to go...

Personally I would have put the carrier pin back in before putting the brakes back together to prevent pushing the axle back in and having the c clip fall out or worse the spider gears. Other than that excellent video.

[@ironhorsevinnie]

Very good video . Not many put their heart and soul in to their work . ( A plus for you ) What's sad on my part - I payed 700 $ for a used rear end for a 2004 ford 1/2 ton 4x4 . A 90 day warranty . All that hell taking old one out and used one back in , and gave the pickup a 8 mile ride , to find next day a axel seal leaking down on tire .I not have some of your tools you used for seal and new bearing . So I guess I well call the out fit in Denver up and see if they give me a different rear end . SAD! Not happy as it was a pickup given to me and the used axel was for the pickup to have one less worry ! And now the 90 day warranty I hope they keep up to . All so makes me wonder when the back 10 bolt cover was taken off to inspect if all they did was half ass drain the dam fluid .

[@StormLaker]

You guys don't happen to have a video on this same truck on how to do the same with the FRONT differential would you? The videos on replacing my CV's and Wheel Hubs really helped a lot. I'm still having a humming noise from my driver's side, I swapped out a wheel hub on that side just on the off chance that I had gotten a bad hub from the store (sorry....should have gone to you guys, haha). Still have noise- so it's gotta be the bearing in the front diff shaft/pad that the CV connects to. There are literally no videos on how to fix the front diff on 97-03 F150's. If you guys have the parts, I'd be willing to take a shot at it.....but I need a visual guide to fall back on to do it. What parts would I need to order from you BTW???

[@rickygarcia4559]

Outstanding!! I wish you were my tech! Great job!!

[@louiegarcia7527]

[@TheRancher03]

Just ordered the bearings and seals. After re-watching the video was wondering how a rubber o-ring survives metal to metal contact in a differential and it's purpose. The o-ring is apparently only used during assembly to keep the c-clip in place.

[@Bromalear]

An excellent and very detailed and informative video. Nicely done. :) The only things I would say that kinda my attention as something I would have done different, is firstly to never let the brake caliper hang by the attached brake hose as there's a def. risk of the hose being damaged as a result, and second, I'm a big believer in using anti-seize on the bolts, including the lug bolts, (exception of course being the holding pin bolt inside the diff. def. don't want anti-seize in there XD) as it makes life so much easier should disassembly need happen again later on down the road, which anything to do with brakes and tires would require it. And lastly, I would have bled the back brakes afterward as there's always a chance of air getting into the lines once they are disconnected from the caliper. This way any air that may have gotten into the lines or any remaining air bubbles in the calipers would get purged right back out. Otherwise, fantastic video : )

[@RANGELOVBG]

Special note to the jr rank n file or shall I say newbies lol, take note what slide hammer attachment that she used ! She used the flip and washer and nut locking plate attached to the slide hammer ! Do not even waste your time with a two or three jaw puller it will just bounce and break ! Years ago all I use to use was an 8 ft steel bar and a sledge hammer, yup very old school but it worked, and as for the jaw pullers well they do not stay on the dam bearing and the hook part well that kind snaps because of the white recycled Chinese metal lol, so with that said make sure u use the right tool which is hardened steel, with a locking washer and nut assembly, yes there's home made jobbers out there but as I always told my boys when I taught them mechanical work use the right tools for the right job and it'll go faster easier and done properly with minimal head aches !
