The peace u keep calling a spacer it's not a Install tool it part of the assembly u put the carrier bearing on backwards the big rubber is a bump for the grease cal on the shaft the bounce off of when u up it on the right direction that (spacer) will be pressed on the shaft just like the carrier bearing did it's a locking ring th keep the bearing from working itself lose from the grease sliding yoke bumping it from the truck's ability to flex in motion to not have stress on the driveshaft other wises it would just have a single drive shaft witch would be a horrible design it would break and tear bunch of stuff up hins the reason it is designed with the two peace drive shaft hope this info helps the people that has watched your video to do it the correct way but u did give alot of good info other then the mistakes I pointed out good job

Thanks Brother doin a 02 2500 today. These things are balanced tightly enough I believe that those gouges could be killing carriers now. Effin shaft w bearing and good joints from u pull would be best with that damage considered. We have those yards everywhere with everything in Phx. Thanks again

i had a 70 chevy that someone used a torch to cut the bearing off and they warped the shaft, they must of had it really hot, i have done them no problem, now i just use an angle grinder and put a good nick in the race, a little hit with an air chisel and they split.
@57bagre3 жыл бұрын
sometimes it's hard to get to the inner race with a grinder, that's why I go for the torch most of the time, also I am pretty comfortable with a torch and welding equipment, more so than most mechanics.

If the bearing is somewhat close fit, put it in boiling water a few minutes and be kwick, it will slip on it easily 😉

I tried to do the same job on my Nisan 2018. truly frightening grit grat sound from the center bearing support .. . Just passed 80,000 miles ( 134,000 km)😫 . . .I checked for parts ! ! ? ? ? ? Nothing availlable, all sealed parts. all there is is a complete drive shaft that costs $1680.can.😧😤😡 . . . My Rogue has become front wheel drive for a while 🤕
