Hey man I never would've had the confidence to cut this bearing off without watching your video. I did it today and it went way better than I had anticipated. I cut within about a 1/16" of the axle with a grinder and a couple taps with a coal chisel cracked it right open! Much appreciation for you!!

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Im glad it helped!

Back in the old days they used to have one spline that was bigger , that way you couldn’t put them together wrong , that was a great idea , if they stopped doing that , that’s just crazy. But mine is bad now and I was just seeing if it was anything like the old days and been a long time since I’ve done one , just needed a refresher. It’s all coming back to me now , along with all of the bad language I used to use while doing this. 👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️

[@theusedprevail]

Thanks for showing us DIYers that it can be done without fancy presses. You made it look really easy and I now feel more confident about cutting it off.

Your video was awesome. Exactly what I needed for my 2002 1500HD. I tried pulling the old bearing with a bearing puller. After an hour of fighting it I gave up. Attacked it with my grinder. Worked like a charm. The bearing set with the 1 3/4 pipe was perfect. THANKS

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Glad it helped!

Never replaced a carriage bearing before, followed this video, worked like a champ. Thamk you for this video

It was so refreshing to see a tutorial without air tools!!! But I wish like hell I could move that fast!

[@taylorshiver3284]

Thumbs up. I am handy and was disappointed that I was going to have this done at a shop due to the lack of a press, but this video was great!

Thank you for the video, it helped a great deal, especially cutting off the center support bearing, mine was totally trashed - first time using a grinder - thank you also to DE Walt - great tool.

[@datadude1819]

Bro, Get a guard for the angle grinder Before you wear the disc in your face & eat soup for rest of your life. Face guard too, PPE…all of it Cheers, Rob

[@dylanvedia6705]

Worked flawlessly thank you bro

[@JonnyBlazeTCB]

Thanks for the video. Literally just got done doing this. I even bought the exhaust pipe but the 12". Worked like a charm. My truck had been making a squealing noise for a year and was able to narrow it down to either u joints or the support bearing. So I bought all 3 u joints and the center support bearing. Pulled driveshaft and all my u joints were good. Bearing rubber was deteriorated and bearing itself felt a little wonky but not gritty like a typical bad bearing. But I replaced it and no more squealing so far. :)

[@frank-vy2pp]

Nice job!! Im glad theres an alternate when u dont have a press and puller.

Thank u sir u was helpful but i forgot to mark mine hopefully all works when i put it back together

[@brandonbarrientos7252]

Did it work even though you didnt mark it

[@xxsethxx8499]

I took mine apart and did the same thing forgot to mark, we need to know if it still worked!!!!

[@JamieBHADA]

Thank you! I did just what you showed me and it went perfect. TY TY

[@derekm2684]

Even 3years later ur video is helping however after I finished I realized I forgot to install this ring that goes on after you install the bearing mine was different and didn't have that cup

[@espinozadjroberto2281]

Good job taking the time to experiment and share your video, one thing I don't recommend is taking the guard off the grinder, when you do that you're putting your self at risk, you could cut yourself with the exposed area of the cut off wheel that goes toward your hands. Especially for those who aren't familiar with grinders, it's better and safer to use a dremel with a cut off wheel its safer and smaller, It will not cut your drive line and or your fingers.. Good job tough.

[@doorguru168888]

[@dmrocha86]

Thanks for the video. Helped out tremendously.

[@ramondhunter8191]

I wish the shop I paid to have this done would have watched your video.. they mangled the new one and forgot to reinstall the cup when they installed it. Ended up doing this myself a few months later.

[@derekm2684]

Why is the purpose of the cup?

This video was very helpful, I liked your camera angles and visually detailed steps. I thought you could work on your monologue, articulating some of the 'hows' and 'whys' of what you're doing need a bit of work. Thanks for the helpful video.

[@missiletm]

When you cut into the race it heated it up and allowed it to come free easier.

[@garyqualls7094]

Hellyeah man definitely helped me out for sure thank you

[@user-vt5dg4vc6u]

Great video!

[@canamcartel9694]

No need to mark the driveshaft, it only goes on one way. It has a double spline on it to line it back up

[@coltwinchester6124]

You convinced me to take it to a shop where the have the correct tools to do the job.

[@darrintriplett6265]

Dumbest comment ever! 😂😂😂😂 he did a perfect job they have the same shit except having a press but he did the same out come! Sorry your stupid and can't do it yourself

[@JuanReyes-eb2fg]

Can you provide the part# you used for the carrier bearing need the correct size

[@nitrojunki4249]

seems like all auto parts are calling for the smaller diameter by default. Chances are if you have the 2500 you probably have the 40mm

I have 94 chevy silverado , extended cab, with a 3 part drive shaft, that's 7 feet long, the carrier barron is bad, need to see how you would install that one, so far ,every video I've watched , usa little different than mine, i haven't actually found my exact year stuck, only 91, 92, , the previous owner put posit traction in it!, And I believe that's what caused my carrier barron to come apart, so please help!!

[@DanielJEarp]

Wish i had seen this video before i replaced mine. I ended up cutting it off as you did.

Cutting the race is a trick I have had to do on spindles that had welded races. An air powered cut off tool allows for a bit more precision. I'm about to rebuild the whole shaft on my 08 3500HD

[@gravedipper]

I'm In the process of getting the rest of the parts to do this and all new unoints on my 05 duramax, on top of the rear differential assembley torn between swapping the internal from the new assembly to the existing or just putting the whole new assembly in

@@gravedipper Duramax store also offers a 1 piece shaft that eliminates the 2 piece design. I may do that in the future after my SAS

Sometimes not aligned right. Do you feel a wobble after the new bearing

If you accelerate from a stop and go do you feel a vibration. Also was the vibration there before replacing the u-joints
