30 minute video saved me from a $400 repair bill. $85 in parts and a few hours of my time and it's as good as new! Thanks guys, always good videos.

[@balconio1172]

I like that you work on vehicles that are as rusty as the ones I work on. It's helpful to see tips on handling corrosion.

[@elbiewatson]

Very professional video. Thorough and well-paced. Great camera angles and the mechanic speaks very well and gave great additional information that many mechanics would gloss over.

[@robertmoore6284]

I really appreciate all the great advice in these videos. Especially the heads up on not turning the drive shaft after removing the pin, or else all of the spider gears will fall out. Oh wait! HE DIDN'T 😢

[@jaxnaturals]

One of the best tutorials on here. Great detailed information without the nonsense and watching someone remove bolts for half the video and wasting time. Sub'd

[@flyurway]

Nice job, clear and concise. 2 things, you didn't prelude the seal and, really, RTV around the seal? I see no point in that except to make the seal harder to remove next time.

[@bunky021543]

Great video! I had my left rear axle seal replaced about 6 months ago and after it was done shortly after I started hearing a grinding sound. I changed my pads, rotors, and calipers because it was time for them to be changed but shortly after that it started grinding even more. I guy I know said it sounds like my bearings were bad and it's possible but it's amazing that I had no grinding before I took it to the repair shop. They didn't replace the bearings and I believe they were old and probably damaged during reinstallation. I'm going to inspect them myself and this video was the perfect tutorial. Thank you!

How did that bearing come out so easy. I have a 2015 silverado 1500 4x4 and the rear wheel bearing will not budge. I broke the puller trying to get it out and damaged the reluctor ring as well. Im to the point of cutting the bearing out. Any advice would be helpful so I do not do anymore damage ha.

Ls diff fluid on these non-clutch type diffs isn't required as there are no clutches in the mechanism.

[@Dinglot68]

No LS additive is spec'd for g80 rear diff. It is a locking diff, not a limited a limited-slip diff. Just synthetic 75W-90 gear oil is all you need.

[@vadimsmolenskiy1965]

This is one of the most informative DIY vids I've watched. I wish all were like this. Very well done.

[@strongblackman7862]

Dude, you rock..! You absolutely rock!. Well spoken, very explicit, detail information.. you are one awesome mechanic, I mean that dude. Thank you so much, been having problems with my 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.. going to change the front wheel bearing and the rear right wheel bearing.. thanks so much dude

[@fashionrider712istunthi9]

great video, i was able to do everything myself for the first time changing bearings on a rear end. only problem is the a1 auto bearings trq was to small. still working with customer care to resolve the issue. what sucks is, if they get me the correct bearings i will have to buy new gasket seals and oil all over again also.

[@racerxxracer3033]

Great vid ,man my issue is cannot get the driver side axle to go into the diff to remove C clamp,what's going on with this?anybody out there😤

[@Accumulator1]

Messed up using that brand of oil. It has friction additive. Must use 75w-90 full synthetic gear oil, no friction additive for Eaton lockers. It is a mechanical locker. The additive is for LS locks w friction discs.

[@athomevideos]

Some tips on very rusty vehicles. The differential bolts m8 x 1.25 x 25mm long were so rusty a few almost didnt have enough flats left to grip with a socket. I found pounding on them with a big hammer to mash the top a bit gave me enough to get the bolts to crack loose. Only had to use the torch on one of them. The driver side bearing was beyond stuck. Had to use the torch to get it extremely hot before my slide hammer would get it to finally come out. Getting the new bearing back in on the side it didn't want to come out is going to be a pain until it's started real good. Wood is likely only going to dent as you pound on it. A pc of aluminum works better to start it. When turning the gears, use the driveshaft as mentioned, do not turn the axle shafts without the pin in since it will make everything misaligned. If it does turn a bit you can cautiously turn it the other way till it aligns. I found I could leave the pin in for most of the turning you just have to keep a finger on it incase it wants to slide out than you can slide it out upwards then remove the c clips and small bolt. Use a socket for the bolt, it grips better than my wrench. Check your break lines on the axle and be prepared to replace them. Make sure you can get the axle shaft seals if you are going to a parts store for them, none of the chain stores in my area had any and I finally found a small store 25 minutes away that had some. Claw side of a claw hammer works better than a pry bar to remove the seal.

[@garymurawski1476]

WOW...what a process...well explained and excellent video I might add. Watching this I am not sure who to take my truck to and make sure its done right.

[@stever7638]

Great video, well explained!. What about the ABS tone ring? If your rear axle has this, will this puller and adapter fit between them or do you need to remove the tone ring also if you don't have the special GM tool?

[@chadnordstrom1428]

This is a great video. Clear and concise. Thank you for making it.

[@atrueamerican2218]

Is there a reason you didn't do both sides?

[@bruceking440]

Will this fix excessive in/out play?

[@Ka_Gg]

When installing the bearing, you can put it in the freezer before. Will make it go in even easier. Also, with the seal, I've heard some people say that rtv isn't needed with rubber seals, but I have always put it on as an extra insurance. Just seems odd to not add that extra little insurance.

[@dwej9080]

You can't really use that bearing tool on newer (2010+) because there is a ABS reluctor ring behind the bearing preventing the tool from opening to use it. (There is about 1/4" gap.) The smaller bearing tool will open, but it is not wide enough to catch the entire bearing race wall so it fails.

+Kaise Paulson Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@fernesal]

How much play should be on the gears or drive shaft to be ok? I mean when moving it back and forth? To know if something is worn out.

[@samsam4640]

hello and thank you for the info. does this procedure works the same for 2011 GMC yukonn denali xl 1500 ? thanks

[@ygdagreat91]

I have a question even for the driver side do i have to do the same procedure? Bcuz every video i see they always changing the passenger side bearings

[@TRQ]

+@djsodhkwjdhsj4298 The install should be the same or similar for the driver side. Buy this part on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@grantmontgomery9955]

Will this be the same for a 2014 Silverado LT 4wd 1500

[@freaknleak69]

What about the other drivers side axle?

[@cat-master_pimp7146]

I’m wondering the same thing

[@beerman8325]

Ya.. i wonder why 2nd video i seen that does not show the Drivers side... wonder whats different.

[@badrynogaming2133]

good video but what happens when you can't get bearing out all that happen for me is bearing blew apart and still in. Been at it for 2 days with puller and slide hammer no results

[@STBRetired1]

Interesting that you used Red threadlocker on the caliper mounting bolts. Isn't that too strong? After all, someday you'll want to pull off that caliper again. Or, is it okay because those are big bolts and you will be using big wrenches with big leverage to get them off?

[@bruceking440]

Yes, but a torch to warm them up breaks down the red. I would use blue or really don’t need any.

[@luis-andresfranco6013]

My rear wheel hub moves in and out a good bit is that just because the axle has room to move or is that a bad bearing?

[@double5bbq]

What would you have done if the bearing had blown apart like you expected it to do? That would have been more complicated I assume.

[@aneyesky]

3:01 “needs to be recycled” by this he means use the oil as raw material for coating lumber, fire starter, insect repellant, and other great ideas.

[@snakeyes7711]

This is a great video, but what they don't show is the fact you have to beat the axles in, and out to do this job.

[@MrRmga420]

Never add brake fluid. If it’s low, that’s because either the pads are worn, or there is a leak in the system that needs to be fixed.

[@brucelewis1017]

What does brake fluid have to do with changing axle bearings

[@gosetto69]

FYI interference fit generally causes enough of a seal to not need any extra sealant

[@emmanuellopez6431]

17:40 when you tug can there be little play or is it supposed to be stiff ??

[@rogerwaters4248]

So about the bonking and the "BINK". Does it actually bonk n bink??

[@zerogrim822]

Why do you have to go super with the differential in order to replace the bearing?

[@420flying6]

Would this cause a ABS sensor stable track light come on? Replaced speed sensor but still have lights

[@محمدالوشلي-غ2ث]

Can I use high temperature grease for the bearing instead of gear oil ??

[@bruceking440]

No, use correct oil, same as you refill with, its all in the same cavity.

[@jamesfarmer2748]

Down here on the gulf of Mexico, trucks that are that rusted out usually belong to shrimpers and sportsman who launch frequently in salt water.

[@schowers]

My wheel bearing won't go in straight. Y'all make everything look so easy 😂 Good video tho

[@petecoots]

During the slide hammer phase ended up off center a bit 😮 and have score marks on the inside portion of the axle and on the bearing race 😢. Flippin’ idiot!! Hoping the RTV on the seal will keep it sealed up!

[@gaelb6099]

Great, pro and very well explained video, thank you very much 👍

[@danieljones8587]

I'm sure every mechanic has a jar of Vaseline in his toolbox just in case he runs out of Red & Tacky.

[@coreyhawkins25]

Is this the same for 2016 Colorado?

[@97JoMiller]

I just did this job because I was having a leak on my drivers side rear wheel where it's leaking gear oil onto the rotor making a nasty smell... I replaced the seal and put everything back together. I made sure the spring was still on the seal and that the axle looked ok. It is still leaking though. What else could causing it. The leak really looked like it was from that seal. Could I have missed something? if so, what?

[@trusolider1670]

The actual metal the seal goes into can rust or get worn out over time causing a bad seal therefore it leaks take the seal off and take some sand paper very light sand paper and sand just the end where the seal sits wipe it clean with brake cleaner and the put a new seal in and that should fix your problem permanently

[@variableshark5488]

*rear wheel bearings* begins taking apart the differential… 😒

[@xcal7777]

Great video. Details were awesome.

[@GunsngearExtreme]

Good video aside from adding brake fluid. Those pads look like they were pretty low

[@tenmil1]

Anyone know if there's anywhere to rent the bearing driver and the slide hammer?

[@Kuebix]

Mann.. I got this 2003 Silverado. And my passenger rear brake started grinding metal to metal. (I did a brake job less than a year ago) also noticed mid tread wear on both my rear tires. And they’re not over inflated. Now I’m noticing that my passenger rear wheel is getting real hot, so now I’m here. Could this cause all this wreckage? 😢
