How To Replace Rear Axle Seals and Bearings - Ford 9 Inch

This is on a ford 9 inch , but can be appled to many different rear ends. Jeeps have the same procedures as well. I cover how to remove a pressed in axle bearing, how to remove a bearing race from an axle tube. how to use a slap slide hammer. how to press in bearings on an axle. CE-8015
Also it is a good idea to put rtv silicone on the outside of the race before you put it in the axle tube!

[@dougcormack8240]

Thank you for this ,I just took apart the 9 in. I am putting in my 1985 c10. I have never seen this type of 9in. The ones I am used to have a sealed brn and a seal by itself about 1 in to the inside.This is going to help a lot.

[@Camaro-1969]

Hey Klowning. Great video for sure. I have a question. I am using ls1 rear backing plates on a ford 9" with GM housing ends. My axles has set20 bearing as well, so you know the outer seal sticks out (like yours). My question is, what is the torque spec for the retainer plates? I am using the ls1 rear backing plate as a retainer. When I do a good snug down on the retainer bolts (ls1 backing plate), the axles doesn't want to spin easily. When I tightening the bolt down good, the axles doesn't spin at all. I am having trouble finding the balance of tightening the retainer plate bolts to secure the axles and to also have the axle spin without any problems to the bearings. Please help.

[@fordinlinestraight]

does the bearings share the same fluid as the differential do those fluids mix down the shaft to the bearings

[@davidroberts7615]

Thanks man! I like the way you explain things. It makes sense when you say it haha

[@klowny1969]

David Roberts thank u sir!

[@Fireship1]

Use a little lube, a little butter sauce. Lol. Good video Manny! You always make your vids easy to understand and follow.

[@klowny1969]

Fireship1 the butter sauce is key! ;) Thanks for watching again sir!

[@juiced71]

Nice job! I love the fact that they used the GM backing plate setup on the ford rear 👍

[@klowny1969]

Yup..this vehicle is my car

Would synthetic grease be better than gear oil?

[@gr8scott808]

Hello Ladies...LOL. Thanks for this video, it's the only one I found dealing with set 20 tapered roller bearings, which my '74 Bronco uses on aftermarket 31 spline axles.

[@klowny1969]

Thanks for watching and commenting..don't forget to subscribe!

[@magicman_metal_fab]

Is it normal when you assemble a brand new rear together to have little bit of gear oil leak past the seals? I have a curry housing with a 31 spline set up all brand new and I was told to install it with a gallon of gear oil. Sitting on jackstands a little bit of gear oil drips out of the seals. Why is that if everything is new thanks for your help

[@ethangiltnane391]

I've got the same problem neither one of mine will seal.

[@fordinlinestraight]

does the bearing share the same fluid as the differential or do these are seals at different where spline meets?

[@klowny1969]

ford 300 inline straight 6 same fluid

[@fordinlinestraight]

does the rear different fluid flow to the bearings on each end? or are the seals in the pumpkin that stop the for?

[@50foad]

yes and no.

[@fordinlinestraight]

@@50foad years ago i was clueless today ive learned from the past. We are always learning.

[@cms5241]

So it looks like you replaced the tapered with straight roller, what’s the reason or benefit? I am ready to install a 9 on my truck and the original 9 bearings are tapered but I don’t understand how to set the preload if I replace

[@klowny1969]

this came with the straight rollers

[@SuperShetz09]

Are you still using the stock style suspension? I'm getting ready to build a 9" for my 83 camaro.

[@klowny1969]

SuperShetz09 yes i am..but all spohn tubular

[@johnnymula2305]

I noticed the 9” in the video was a Currie. I have an 86 Bronco with factory 9.” Is this process the same for it as well? I have a slight axle bearing leak that needs attention.

[@klowny1969]

Should be similar..yes..also don't forget to put a little review silicone around the outside edge of the seal..

[@VROD2525]

Where do I get that bearing retainer

[@johna2019]

Great Video! Just a question that I am not seeing the answer to in the thread. Is there not a seal for the axles?

[@klowny1969]

hi..yes i showed it in the video..also make sure you put rtv on the outside of the seal..dont forget to subscribe

[@juliebronson488]

Is the replacement bearing a Timken or a ball bearing? if it is Timken how does it stay together when reinstalling?

[@klowny1969]

It's got a cage that holds the bearing rollers

[@robertclymer6948]

You make it look too damn easy Klowny! I wonder why my axle bearing has a rubber o-ring on it? I hope to replace that kind very soon when I pull my full spool out and swap in a trac-lok differential.

[@klowny1969]

Yep..they are all different..thanks for watching and commenting

[@ScottDLR]

So basically you press the retaining collar down as far as it will go?

[@bradleydunford725]

Is the 9" big ford new style torino ends

[@fordinlinestraight]

hi Klowny is there a easy way to change diff fluid in the 9 inch or do I gotta undo the 10 bolts on the diff and pull out. is this hard to do?

[@klowny1969]

ford 300 inline straight 6 u can stick an oil pump/extractor in the fill hole

[@fordinlinestraight]

klowny1969 i like the sounds of that great videos btw

[@rafalkowalski5062]

PLEASE HELP. I don't have acces to this middle pin. How i get out the axles??? Mine looks like this images90.fotosik.pl/221/516c932a6d23a96f.jpg should i remove this C clip that is marked red on the picture???

[@mlewin51]

The local shop wants $50 an axle to press on new bearings! For $100 I can get a press from Hf. I see you have the 20 ton but I think a 12 ton should work. Thoughts? And I can use it for future projects.

[@jakefriesenjake]

Absolutely

[@MrCbell57]

Good job.

[@klowny1969]

Thank you

[@1Coolbanana]

Thanks man, just what I was looking for. I assume the disc rear end would be pretty much the same? Cheers

Cool, I have an 84 Z28 I bought new. My old 7 inch Chevy diff sings a little at 45 mph. Wish they had put a stronger unit there.

[@klowny1969]

William Fowler 9 inch is the way to go..thanks for watching

[@_harbinjer]

Forgive me for asking. I have a 1971 F100 Ranger RWD. I was able to determine that it is a 9" rear axle. Anyway I showed the previous owner of the truck this video because he also had to replace the seal on the other side but he said it was nothing like what is shown in the video so I am totally confused now and can't find any other YT video's or information like this one. I really want to order the Timken set 20 U399A90012 before I take it apart since it is my daily driver and don't wish to buy parts from a local parts store, I really hate to ask, this kit should work right? thank you for response in advance.

[@klowny1969]

There are small bearing and large bearings on these axles..one thing that u can also do is wipe some grey rtv on the outside part of the axle and the race

[@_harbinjer]

Welp I ended up repairing my rear axle. It had an inner seal that went into the axle housing than the bearing and collar went onto the axle shaft. The bearing was CE-8000 or 88128. My first time repairing a rear axle bearing and watching this video gave me great confidence. Rear axle specs: 9" 28 spline WDM-W 3.50 1971 F100 Ranger RWD @@klowny1969

[@klowny1969]

Awesome..glad I was able to help

[@CoyoteCarChannel]

So there is no c-clip holding the axel to the chunk gear??

Hi, I have a 12 ton HF press. Things pressed on a little then locked up. Plenty of lube oil. Think 12 tons is enough? Bending the table. Argh!

The race in on the new bearing in the kit. He is seating it with the hammer in the video.

[@kennethprosser1729]

I gotten as far as taking the axle out. I've found a seal behind all that. I need help

[@klowny1969]

Kenneth Prosser what help do you need? The video covers everything

[@SteveRobReviews]

Another job well done. Haha did you hear the ice cream truck. HAHA

[@klowny1969]

STEVE ROB lol i have to get the ice cream truck driver down to the garage and have a sit down with him ;)

[@giuseppeverdi1253]

Lol! Crack him good, Klowny...say, one dozen Neapolitan sandwich bars!

[@GF_Burke]

Cool man. Should I drain the 9in box before pulling these out? Or does that matter.

[@klowny1969]

Jamie Burke you dont have to..thanks for watching

[@Davidajr23]

Slide the shaft into the hole....oh yea baby!! I love your videos!!!

[@klowny1969]

Davidajr23 YEAH !! LOL

[@johnhansen4550]

Last night I put the axle is the chest freezer and heated the bearing to 250F. It slid right on with no press.

Sweet

[@denniskowskie6748]

Is the penny width critical on new axles and bearings? I pressed mine on until the bearing reached the shoulder. Is this going to be a problem?

[@klowny1969]

DENNIS KOWSKIE prob not. But its a good idea to go all the way

[@denniskowskie6748]

My old and new collars measure the same.I put the end of the new shaft next to the collar of the old shaft. The new axle should go in about an 1/8 inch deeper. On the old shaft it looks like the penny depth that you showed. I don't know how many miles those bearings have on them, but they can slide back and forth between the shoulder and the collar.Do you understand what all I am saying here?

[@klowny1969]

DENNIS KOWSKIE why cant u press it more in?

[@denniskowskie6748]

The penny width is a 1/4 inch.I can't press on any more. Things would crush. I think you may be thinking I am not on far enough. I actually went on too far.

[@klowny1969]

Ita not in the video?

[@MALOX13RAIDERS]

When do put back the race?

[@klowny1969]

I showed in the video..you should also put a little rtv on the outside of the race..and u might need a race installer to hammer it in..please check the link in the description for my new tshirt link..thanks

[@g6et_wrx177]
