Good comment and I was thinking the same thing. As a kid , on one of my first cars a late 60’s Plymouth development serious problems. In the seventies, information was hard to find, the Haynes manuals helped but these jobs were a challenge. We figured it out because we had to, and the boys all helped each other, but it was a shit show sometimes. Rays Ytube vids are a great help for people who want to learn.

[@lvlndco]

I was told to never try working on the inner workings inside the pumpkin because it takes special tools and gauges. When Ray worked on the Jeeps they didn't seem all that terrible. This pickup not so spooky either, which is good because I have a 67 Mustang I'll be doing a lot of work on and I won't be so worried about looking into the rear end that was badly abused by some crazy teenager many moons ago. 😁

[@QuantumStellar]

I'm an engineer at a bearing manufacturer. Never, ever use the rolling elements to press in the ring! Too much pressure will "brinnel" the raceway. Brinnel is when the rollers dent the raceway and the bearing will fail. I'm glad you changed your setup to the right way!

Would you mind explaining in more layman’s terms? This information could help a junior automotive technician in a shop somewhere. I manage an automotive repair shop. I have some young bucks that spend way too much time on YT looking for short cuts. They’re educated in the automotive industry but want a fast results because it means “less work for more money”

[@wallace3953]

Stop. Thank you so much for, dmonat, this information.....PLEASE state, if you can, what a DIYer should do at home, or in a simple shop, to do the install CORRECTLY. You obviously understand these matters.....Most guys really have a fear of bearings, and most guys use sockets, etc. Hope you can respond and EXPAND. There is nothing better than hearing from people who really Understand, Know, and are willing to point others in the right direction. Bearings really matter. Thank you....very much.

[@MonkeyJedi99]

@@jamram9924 I think brinel is like when you try to roll out a flat pie crust with a rolling pin that has protrusions. You end up with a not-flat pie crust. In the bearing race, this would likely result in high and low sports that can wear the bearings, or even, if deep enough, stop them from spinning and doing their job.

Yep, Dave's auto taught us that one!

[@randallscott4094]

I was completely mesmerized watching. I'm trying to restore the differential for a 1958 Chevy Apache Pickup and couldn't believe how the design hasn't changed much over all these years. The challenge I'm dealing with is replacement carriers are very hard to find. I couldn't find a local machine shop who would weld and lathe the damaged and missing metal the bearing rides on. So, now I'm experimenting with an expensive Loctite metal epoxy to see if that will work.

[@merlepatterson]

The crush washer looked pretty crushed. A good trick is to grind out a bit of the inner race on the old bearing that sits against the pinion gear so it slides on and off with your hands and then set your pinion depth by shimming it with the original shim and then putting it in and checking your backlash until your backlash is proper when the pinion is tightened down moderately with the old nut. Then you can put the new bearing on with the appropriate shims and new crush washer and nut. It saves you from having to pull the new bearing back off the pinion if your shim pack is wrong.

Similar thing happened to my Durango a few years back. Had a Pinion seal leak. The mechanic just tightened the Pinion nut with an impact after changing the seal. Didn't check the preload and had it way too tight. Within a few months the Pinion bearing broke. I took it to the junkyard and had them swap in a low mileage used rear from another Durango for $400. Drove it another 75k miles before I sold it.

My dad has a 2006 F150 4wd w/ 4.6, he purchased it used but also got the extended warranty through Ford but the rear end went out not long after he bought the truck which was covered under warranty. I don't know the specifics but something about that Ford didn't get the hardness right on the pinion. We found out later the previous owner had it repaired at least once before and then traded the truck in. The only other major issue we've had with the truck was that sometimes it would trying to engage 4wd when you were driving down the highway. The dealer couldn't figure it out so we ended up leaving it with them as it wasn't really driveable, I think the technician drove it for about 2 days when it finally did it.

FIND A QUALIFIED REPAIR GARAGE TO FIX YOUR VEHICLE"*such as Rays. Thing is... theres also a LIABILITY concern if a repair(even by the car owner) fails and damages/hurts someone in any way.(at least in Canada) so .. .yeah... its better to take it to people like RAY who can guarantee vehicle repairs and make it STICK for insurance reasons if needed too.

@@FireGodSpeed No - races should never be pressed in using the bearing surface. An anvil of the correct size to fit the outer rim if the race should be used.

@@timgillespie1081 but if you press on the outer surface won't you mushroom that area and push material into the bearing surface? (If you know what I mean)

@@FireGodSpeed That's not likely. The race is *very* hard, much harder than press anvils. So if anything gets deformed during pressing, it would be the anvil, not the race.

The venerable 9" ford diff is Soooo much nicer to setup--right on the bench mount. We'd use an old pinion nut with the "friction crimp" cut off, sometimes set bearing preload on a crush sleeve "thinned down" on the lathe, then remove it, measure it, and replace it with a solid shim kit--But we were building 3rd members for high HP Desert Trucks, not grocery getters...A side benefit was we could swap a pinion seal with an impact and not worry about changing preload.

[@robellis9378]

When using a press, always place the puller 'jaws at 90 degrees to the base plates so the pressure is equally applied to both jaws so the downward pressure is not carried by the adjusting bolts as you can bend them and that is not pretty. I agree with the prvious comment about pressing in a new cage, Put it in the feezer or better still use nitrogen to shrink the bearing and push it in. ( be sure to wear gloves to save your fingers)
