I'm in the middle of this exact job on a 75 K20 I am redoing. This video was a lifesaver!!!

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

glad I could help!

[@richieschmidt6225]

Working on a 2007.5 1 ton and this video is very helpful, thanks!

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

My pleasure!

[@BigDog50001]

Those Snap-On pliers are awesome, great video and instruction Mike!

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

Thanks Dave!

[@mattw7690]

Thanks for the video I was sure I messed up driving the inner race in to far good to know I just had to tap it back against the clip saved me from handing it over to a shop who I'm sure would've charged me for my ignorance.

[@sirsweetness8332]

Get to do all of this and more on my 2006 Duramax. Have a pile of new parts and tools. Backing plates, E-brake actuators and all new shoes, pads, rotors and bearings and seals. E-brake imploded a few years ago. Timken SET38, 382A, 387AS.

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

Yes sir mine got all that and new ebrake cables. Good luck!

[@dieseldonny8874]

Thanks for the Video !

[@mikemargiotta2671]

Thank you so much needed this video

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

my pleasure!

[@chasedavis2358]

That tool you used to remove the outer bearing can be used to install the races if you have the right adapter, for the inner race you use the cone end

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Great video Mike brother

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

Thanks!

[@wyattoneable]

Nice camera angles. We could see pretty much everything. And as we know, when you have thousands of dollars in tools, you have to do your own work to justify having them. :)

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

Yes my new Steve Rob endorsed camera stand makes it all possible!

[@gerardomalacara4450]

Love doing wheel bearings gives me the opertunity to get greasy and hand pack bearings

[@txsviking]

Great tip about getting the fluid to go both ways and check it again. She'll be good for another 18 years if the rust doesn't get something else.

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

Thanks Terry!

[@james37603]

Hi Can I please have the number for the Snap on pliers and the axle nut socket? I saw a snap ring pliars. I don’t think you used them. I have 2 sets of snap ring pliers. One from Mac. Also a few lose ones I never have the correct ones. Good explanation. Thank you.

[@allcureman3403]

Good job Mike! Now i know how to do it.

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

Thanks Clint!

[@shawn9297]

Doing mine right now is supposed to be a space between the seal and the wheel bearing in the inside of the hub?

[@ericmartinez5633]

doing both mine this weekend. should be easy enough with this video. isnt there a trick to get the fluid to the bearing by doin circles?

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

After filling with fluid just jack 1 side up at time higher than other so fluid runs to each axle bearing.

[@pabloso8403]

Do you know the seal part number?

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Nothing to it but to do it Brother

[@tylerdfoust6071]

Put the hub in the freezer, take a propane blowtorch to the bearings or just the race's like I did and give just a few love taps with a block of wood.. Like my dad always said, "just remember KISS, keep it simple stupid.

[@jrm163]

Do you mean the hub shrinks less than the bearing race when frozen? Or the hub expands more than the race when heated? Thanks

[@jayinmi3706]

What socket is that for the internal "nut" with the keeper and Circlip? I find a lot of different sizes. I found one that says it fits 6 lug, aam 11.5...ours is 8 lug.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Nice camera shots Mike. When you put the axel back it is there a fibe gasket or do you use RTV to seal the end from oil leaks .

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

I use the gaskets like were on from factory but guys do use the rtv seal.

[@CPthetooladdict]

That's a nasty job bet your happy to have that done great video!!

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

All in a days work! but yes glad it is now done!

[@joeo1352]

There’s that green hammer again, The best snap on tool they make, most you can live with out. But they are nice hand tools

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

I could live without them but I prefer not to. Ha!

[@jeffboccuzzio7892]

Great video! Are the 2 bearings and races the same for that assembly?

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

no they are not. This is the kit I bought on ebay---- www.ebay.com/itm/Rear-Wheel-Bearing-Seal-Set-FOR-2001-2010-CHEVROLET-SILVERADO-2500-HD/161339948589?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

[@jeffboccuzzio7892]

Thanks for the info! Great channel. Keep the HD stuff coming.

[@jonsmith3723]

Thanks, you make it possible for me to do my own work.

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

Glad to hear that

[@Edward-m7l]

The outer bearing is the bitch, but I also put my race in the freezer which helps a little on install.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

I would of packed the bearing with grease first before driving the race would make it go alot smoother and keep the bearing protected... oh wait these are Full Float Axle Hubs Huh? Oil Lubed Races and Bearings

[@jayinmi3706]

I was about to ask, then I thought about it. lol

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Them clips are a pain

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

Yeah you can go through a few sets of pliers before finding the ones that work!
