Very Good. Thank You. I know this is difficult stuff for those of us not quite prepared. During the installation of the outer bearing, a little intense light would help the "audience" see better, and a change of camera angle would help as well. But, I'm knitpicking, It's a great instructional video, Very Very grateful. Thanks very much. Been many moons since I did any of this, but it's nice to see someone who knows and demonstrates well. Used to grease wheel bearings by hand, but things have changed a bit in 50yrs. Rubber and rawhide mallets are priceless. About ready to replace these on mine after 214k, "if" they really need it. Big operation for the driveway.

I watched this video which shows I'm not doing this lol

I tried using the *punch* method to extract the outer bearings on my k3500. My experience was that the process left gouges on the ID of the bearing housing. :(
Maybe that should'nt matter but to my way of thinking, that unless you carefully remove the raised metal from the gouges (on the housing id) the new bearing cup will ride up on those raised portions (by a vary small amount) distorting the cup. Now your cone bearing will not see a perfectly conical surface to ride on...possibly causing premature bearing failure.

Is the 05' 1500 Express basically the same?

[@brianneston8575]

Where did he get the wheel bearing hub socket and what size is it

[@ryanjeffrey8778]

What's the tool called you used to torque down the wheel bearing at the end?
