This is a great video. I had a hard time getting out the bad bearing. It came out in pieces because it had been in there for two decades in New England weather but i finally got it all out.

[@evolvan1]

Awesome, it only took this guy 20 minutes. I'm new to this so I'm going to give myself half hour since I don't have a lift or any of those specialized tools.

[@Ken-1]

LOL half a day maybe

[@VJrRocksTuneUpGears]

I work on 2000 GMC Sierra 2500 6.0 liter , same differential orientation, the difference on this is the size of pin bolt, mine is 10mm, and the filler plug of 6 liter is on front not on cover ,, nice video bud.. thanks for the bolts torque specs save me time for searching. stay safe.. keep rockin'.

[@inhocsigno9151]

Excellent video. My 2006 Sierra 4WD RR seal is leaking, not obvious externally yet, but brake shoes are soaked. It has rear drum brakes and posi-rear end. The video looks easy when a knowledgeable person does it.

[@officialpoa3171]

*It would have been PERFECT/ COMPLETE, if you were to show us what it sounds like when the bearings are bad ETC and then illustrate the difference from what you took and the new unit.*

[@TRQ]

+Official Poa Thanks for the feedback! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@carlton2913]

Just seeing this vid One question I have A 2012 gmc yukon So the rear end does not have a complete hub assembly like the front? Just the bearings ?

[@user-de9tf8rp6i]

have watched 3 videos on the same subject. in each one, they only remove the passenger side rear axle. is there a separate pin/clip for the drivers side axle?

[@eddie2dope1]

Working on a 2003 trailblazer and went to put the new bearings in and they just slid right into place... I thought I would have to hammer them in? Am I missing something?

[@armageddonak8395]

Is it the same process for the left bearing?i love your videos thank you for your help brother

[@Eddiesin]

Thank you for this video, couldn’t find one for a hummer h2 but all parts are very similar

[@st.schochko9822]

Is this the same process for an 05 escalade with AWD? Thanks

[@samsam4640]

Thanks for the info. I'm working on 2011 GMC Yukon Denali XL 1500 6.2 L. And i was wondering what tools do i need to remove rear wheel bearing and you stock ؟ thanks again !

[@LuisTheCarGuy]

Would this be same with 2001 gmc Yukon xl 2wd

[@azulmarx9904]

Good work thanks for video very good for all steps to get it done

[@fernesal]

How much do they charge for rear bearings and differential service?

[@elkskiutah8204]

Man that's some rust. Rust falling raining when taking out sway bar bolt. I dont feel so bad on my 04 yukon

[@TRQ]

+elkski Utah Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@disabledvet5127]

I just don't understand why car engineers do not use bolt on hub assembly's on these cars nowadays.

[@philippe94416]

I would be more careful with the dust around 9 minutes, the bearing is already in, some little bit of dust goes in. Better to clean it hard before or during removal when there are no new parts to contaminate. Steel brushes and high pressure are your friends before opening. I learned it in a more extreme case : battle tanks coming so filthy that they weren't allowed in until pressure cleaned. Then brush and so on..... And now I am the guy pressure cleaning the mechanical parts of the car to be worked on before taking it to the mechanic. Do it for the brakes to remove brake dust, it's not asbestos anymore, still not the best thing to ingest.

[@kcroc44]

Any advice for removing a repair bearing, the slide hammer is not budging

[@lmwarw9]

When I took out the pin the two gears fell out and a washer came off one of them do I need to replace the gears? Or can I just put everything back together

[@challenger3967]

Dang, you need to replace the whole vehicle! It's all corroded out!

[@officialpoa3171]

*I love the sound of that gun!*

[@mooseknuckle_4474]

Nicely done video. Very informative with good angles. I’m curious. My 01 Tahoe 2wd has a mid to high pitch whirring sound about 15 mph that only happens when l’m on the throttle. Goes away once l completely lift. Replaced my rear diff fluid, which was about 6-8 oz low, but that noise is still there on acceleration or simply maintaining speed. Truck has 190k miles on it and was always well maintained. Think my problemis the bearings?

[@smiley3303]

I would guess pinion bearing as best case but likely need a rebuild once gears get noisy replacement Is the only way to get rid of the sound.

[@Oliver0200]

I'm having the same exact issue. The noise only comes on during throttle but it only seems to be coming from the driver side. Did you figure out the solution?

[@ronejaxx]

H great video, is it just one bearing? for the rear or do you have to do this on both rear axle sides?

[@camermanful]

Would this work for 2013 yukon/denali

[@user-Army11Bro]

Tomorrow I get to replace an alternator on a 2003 yukon xl.😮😊

[@shadowhawk3790]

(Bearing) magnetic side is facing inside or outside?

[@sirajmagboul3608]

Thanks for the informative videos like always! I am having an issue with my 07 Yukon xl and o am sure one of the rear bearings is shot as it makes squeaking sounds at low speed and the wheel wobbles as well. I thought this type of bearings goes only with new axle shaft. I was about to order these but they’re not available on your website. The only type available is the axle repair bearing which is a bearing and seal in one piece. What’s the difference between the one piece and the bearing and seal you used on the video? Which application is best for the one piece axle shaft repair bearings? Thanks

[@NorthStar420]

Which bearings are suppose to be packed with grease?

[@halfassed0047]

Taper bearings on the front but those are pretty much obsolete nowadays

[@alfonsogarcia3626]

Is it the same for 2015 2wd Silverado?

[@johns7496]

Awesome job, will help me a lot with my 2002 Trailblazer.

[@Sleep_Apnea]

What about the driver side?

[@user-tk6ji5gs5v]

Thank you!

[@bellingsen]

Does it not get dry after a while since you use oil and not not bearing grease on the bearing?

[@halfassed0047]

Its lubricated by the differential oil

[@chasedeheart4123]

There’s a way easier way to pull that axle seal, small flathead screwdriver, and a hammer and fold the outside edge of it over loosen it right up and it falls out without the possibility of damaging your housing

[@lawrencebernal8872]

What would cause the axle bearings to go bad and what are the symptoms ?

[@tonykarata9398]

Loud humming and sound coming from it ..... or seal going bad .... uasualy go bad with wheels that are not for the right aplicatio.n

[@rlwright110]

Great video!

[@jmorris508]

Video helped.

[@tweker69]

Seals are very cheap, so if you need 4 seals order 8 of them. Cause there's always one of them that will go in wrong.

[@TRQ]

+Tweek Thanks for the tip!

[@quentinrogers3624]

So i have no driveshaft or trans in right now. I need to rotate the yoke/driveshaft to get to that nut and pin, when i got to that step i couldnt get the diff to rotate. How easy is it supposed to rotate by hand?

[@Mopedtobi84]

how do i know if my denali has limited slip or not?

[@nismogizmo]

RPO codes

[@manjitkaka7601]

Thanks bro

[@kandydripp1799]

The front is eqsy y does the back gots be so hard im fd lol

[@jimbo8981]

Lube the seal?

[@bluecollarwanderer21]

🤟🇺🇸

[@Tenorman1100]

Change your gloves or cover your parking brake shoes so you won't get differential oil on them.

[@garyclark1135]

Definitely a rust belt vehicle.

[@wolfsmane]

Is this the same for RPO code GU6 G80 ?

[@challenger3967]

Dang, you need to replace the whole vehicle! It's all corroded out!
