I'm Tired of Fixing it, NO MORE 14 Wides! *Timken Bearing Upgrade*

[@johnruble3454]

Old school days miss these type of vids

[@ryan2546]

Throw back Thursday fr

[@erichartzell1338]

Little tip. Take the bolts and back them almost all the way out. Stick the socket on the bolts then fire the truck up and turn the wheel. Use the power steering to your advantage and allow the socket to hit the axle pushing the bearing out from the knuckle.

[@a10warthog75]

You know the reason why the bearing went bad is from all the weight from the little tree air fresheners you have on the rear view mirror Ryan 😅 great video keep it up. 👍

You’re right!! you know any good tree services to help? 😂😂😂

[@marrag1]

This is why i started undercoating and spray painting my undercarriage every winter. Barely much rust under my truck now since i started doing it and I live in Buffalo, NY were they salt the roads even in the rain lol. Can't wait til I can leave NY and move south.

[@paulcondie2520]

Absolutely! I'm in Pa. I used to use my old engine oil after a change, brush it on in late fall, but now I use fluid film. Much easier to spray it on.

[@dillan6134]

If you’re undercoating or painting, unless you’re stripping it every year and verifying there is ZERO corrosion, then all you’re doing is trapping moisture and corrosion in so it can eat away at the metal uninhibited. The other comment has it right: use oil or protectants like fluid film. It’s not as pretty, but it’s the best solution. It’s the same principle as any other metal storage. Think about when you buy a new bearing. Or axle shaft. Or rotor. What protects the inside of your engine from corrosion? A thin film of something petroleum based does a great job of preventing oxide layers from forming, or spreading if they’ve already formed. Also, please stay up north. We’ve had more than enough Yankees and Pacific Northwesterners and Californians move down here and completely change both our landscape with a million .25 acre lot subdivisions, and change our culture for the worse. Just a few years ago, everyone you met down here said yes sir and yes ma’am. They held the door for you. They said thank you when you did it for them. If you passed them driving down a 2 lane road, they waved at you. Now? Southern hospitality is all but dead and priced out.

That truck is bad ass.

[@country5318]

If you leave the back top bolt in hub just sticking out and put the socket on it with long extention and crank truck and turn wheel it will press hub off instantly.

[@cadilakisrodcustom]

You should look into the dodge hub removal tool, makes that job so much easier! I take my bearings out without a hammer.

[@ryan2546]

Thanks for the tip! I’ll check it out!!

[@cadilakisrodcustom]

@ryan2546 it uses the power of your hydraulics to push the bearings out, makes the job much faster.

[@bradcarroll5265]

I’m just glad I live in the south after seeing how much rust is on all those suspension components.

[@ryan2546]

I’m glad you live there too! You don’t want these problems.

[@GStreat]

Very nice informative video. How long did your previous wheel bearings last you? How much did the new ones cost you? What is your lift and wheel set up?

[@shawnwolf5831]

Same gear box and steering hub on my 3rd gen broke so i switched from 40s 15w back to 37 10w

[@ryan2546]

Yeah when you think about how small the bearing really is it’s crazy they even put up with so much weight getting thrown around!

[@johnhotard4853]

Love the repairs! hey Ryan I was curious what your thoughts are on the rust on the under carriage of the big truck if you have a good way to clean a situation like that up?

[@ryan2546]

Good news because we’re gonna be cleaning it all up soon!

[@1996ikey]

I feel you bro you want to make it more of a better daily driving we love how you daily drive it and have the same love for it you had for it 6 years ago that was your dream truck just happy you still have it

[@shawnrussell1786]

Man it’s been awhile since I seen your videos. Keep them coming.

[@stevenfoust3782]

The easy way to remove the bearing is - remove bolts except leave two opposite each other partially threaded. Place a deep socket on the bolt and turn the steering wheel as to wedge the socket on bolt against the axle housing alternately and the bearing will push right out in seconds.

[@voyles36]

That doesn’t always work either. Living in the rust is fun..

[@carsonbratanov1035]

And this is why my nice truck don't come out in ohio winters ,salt eats all the nice paint and powder coat up. Plus we oil spray ours to help protect them

[@ryan2546]

I tried to keep it out of the salt but some times it was the best vehicle for the weather unfortunately, after I re do it it’ll never see salt again

[@carsonbratanov1035]

@ryan2546 yeah that's why I hate our weather here and want to move so we can use our nice vehicles all yeah without destroying them!

[@jst2big]

Damn that Ohio salted roads are taking a toll on your power coating. Glad to see the ol gal still looking good

[@ryan2546]

Yeah I’m taking it all off and painting the axles and frame welds here soon and then it’s never seeing winter again

Man... Time flew buy.. . Remember when ryan had that clean shaven look. I well never get a truck i have in the works to this level of height amd tires.looks amazing.. but since am here have a 2003 dodge ram a quad cab.. upgrading the sests from a 2017. But is it possible to get those parts and panels well it fit? And seen a coment about the rear seats that they sadly have to come from exacly a quad cab. Or no leg room for the people in the back.. what you recommend for coils amd all that. Maybe 4-5 inch lift. Remove the weak bumper it has. And install those bumpers like you habe fromt ad rear for safely reasons..

[@OBS_Brndo]

That Midwest rust makes everything way more difficult than it should be. I’m thankful to only deal with it every once in a while on rare occasions. But the best thing I found to combat rust is (WD40 gel lube) especially on the part of the wheel bearing housing that inserts into the knuckles. Has to be the gel lube tho. The regular wd40 is shit for anything outdoors imo.

[@rodvanness3973]

Anti-seize is your best friend when replacing wheel bearings. Save you lots of time the next time you have to take it apart.

From owning dodges most of my life and replacing countless wheel bearings,the way to save them? Torque the axle nut to dodges torque spec, over or under tightening that axle nut that holds the bearing together will cause premature failure, and wides on top of that 😅

Sorry to see you use Rock Auto. I've had terrible experiences with them. Its not much more to buy local. Or at least Amazon. The issue arises on return or warranty problems. R A does not have a "human" return department. Only online and the process is daunting. Read the customer reviews on there customer service and business practices. Its good til it ain't.

[@ryan2546]

I returned tons of stuff to them! Easy process sends me the label and money comes back in 3 days! Buying local yes, but all the parts from autozone or wherever are all on rock auto with different names and 70% less money plus you get name brands like timken, ac delco, and tons of oem parts! You should give it another try! Plus their parts fitment system is unmatched!
