There goes the heat treatment on the bearing. Your better off putting the pinion gear in the freezer. Would you let this guy work on your car with a hammer...?
The blue and brown color of the bearing at 13:34 in the video indicate that the bearing was overheated and will damage the bearings. I didn't notice an oil slinger when installing the front pinion bearing and seal. How did you measure pinion bearing preload? The pattern wasn't too readable.
For the love of god, step away from the rear end. Just a few things I saw while I fast forwarded. It's a crush sleeve not bearing. You torched the shit out of that bearing and then ran water over it, hahaha, it's gone. How many dam shims did you put under the pinion bearing, the whole pack. Then you beat the crap out of the seal and put the side bearing caps in 180 degrees out.
I swear,some of these people making videos on how to fix things on your vehicle are either ignorant or are purposely doing it the wrong way. There's no way I'd use this axle and expect it to last for a long time. The wear pattern on the ring gear didn't look quite right. I wait for the paint to at least dry so it will give you a definitive pattern. And the bearing was heated way too hot.
You should of left the pinion bearing cool on it's own. When you cool rapidly with cold or hot water you create stress. Stress will eventually wear out the bearing. I worked in heat treating once upon a time. But it is your project not mine.
Last one I did,I went to the Goodwill and bought a smaller old cooking pot. Then I put some gear oil in it and heated it up on the pot burner on my gas grill. I heated it up till it was bubbling but not burning. I used a meat thermometer it said it was about 219F. I put the bearing in there for about 5 min. It dropped right on the pinion. I let it cool on its own. I didn't want to do it inside because of the oil smoke. That shit really stinks. It worked on the carrier also. 1 bearing on the carrier didn't go all the way,but it was close so I hammered it the rest of the way with a ball joint press adapter.
lol as soon as you hit the dishes problem i subscribed....someone who deals with the same shit i do. 6 people in a 8800 sq foot house and nobody does the god damnd dishes! 3 of them are unemployed gamers! Dont get me wrong, i do get addicted to the HTC vive but i also spend 12hrs a week in stop n go traffic after an 8 hour shift daily in a 6 speed GTO i dont want to come home to a sink fulla dishes F-That.
Fyi...you put the carrier bearing caps on wrong ..ear goes toward the axel tube...just for starters ..then there's the other 4711 other ..well , we will call em little things that make this build a guaranteed failure,,,..but we learn from our mistakes,..God knows I've made mine over 35 + years of turning wrenches...& slinging a couple too... But you're going to be learning alot in the near future !......Alot!
Mr.6 you can absolutely use an impact, you just need an inch pound dial torque wrench to measure the preload on the pinion beatings and make sure you dont over tighten it.
I am a retired GM Master tech, Don't use this video to rebuild a rear end. Really, hammer in the pinion seal and hammer pinion bearing is always a NO-NO. Pinion bearing preload is not set by feel but with special tools. Did not cover pinion depth set-up. Video should be banned from You tube!
So you didn't explain much in detail. how to shim correctly and what to look for. What about how to set the back lash on the ring and pinion?? Sorry but not that informitive. Pretty lame
He must have measured the shims that where already on there since he is using the same carrier and the same pinion size. Pretty common to reuse the same size shims. then paint and test from there.
He just showed us how NOT to do it..
HOW NOT TO REBUILD A REAR END.
Did anybody else think he was going to put it in the toilet..?
I did
Hey can you do a tutorial of how to read an engine oil dipstick?
What tool did you use to put the little springs with?
Thanks for the video! I am confident that I can put 4.10s in the housing
There goes the heat treatment on the bearing. Your better off putting the pinion gear in the freezer. Would you let this guy work on your car with a hammer...?
Has it made it a year? Did you replace the pinion races and lastly what did it cost ?
Sweet Claw hammer...bro
You skipped a very important step the shimming of the pinion how did you do that how did you come up with the proper shim

Do you know if Tahoe axles will fit in that rear end?
Yes,they won't fit.
Hey guys im new to this rear end shit, is it possible to get the pinion out without removing the driveshaft?
😅🤣😂
WOW WOW WOW!!!

He's definitely a idiot.!!
@@sahmdhude4130 pinon depth? Preload?

I bet that thing howled like a cat in heat
I thought I was a hack...
LS1 engine on the floor. Damn!

And he should never heat the bearing with a torch 200° to 250° max.!!

Now you can wash judys dishes for her
Since you used her kitchen....lol
Nice video. If my wife caught me banging the pinion on the kitchen counter I'd be in troubbbblleee..
Atleast it wasnt marble or granite. Hahahha
Pulling the axle housing is worth the effort.
The pinion preload was too tight. I think it's sposta only be about 12-20 in/lbs.
If you didn't put stress cracks in that bearing by pouring cold water on it. I would be very surprised.
How would you have cooled it down for educational purposes
Is that a 8.5?
wouldn't let this guy work on my kids bicycle

Good video...thanks.
it does hurt the bearing meathead you are playing with the tempering of the bearing , which will weaken the hardness
Carl Palmer 200 degree is safe soon as it discolored its to hot a will indeed damage the bearing
CZcamsrs you guys are ruthless but if this video is steering me wrong for my first rebuild can someone link me in the right direction
Nicholas Moline hey man watch hagertys 12 bolt rear diff upgrade video, will walk you through it all
Bro your bearing cap on the un filed ring side is backward
another guy that should not be sharing....anything
if you plane on making a video and actually know what your doing please don't forget all the key steps please>
A better name for this video is: GM 10 bolt camaro rear end fuck up
You just detempered the fuck out of that pinion bearing.
Made my ass want to dip of snuff
Bearing caps are on backwards.... also rule 1 on every video out... do not use impact on pinion...uses impact
Mr.6 you can absolutely use an impact, you just need an inch pound dial torque wrench to measure the preload on the pinion beatings and make sure you dont over tighten it.
buy a pinion depth guage lol
This gauge?

still trying to figure out wtf i just watched.
Nnnnnnoooooooooooooo
TOTAL hack job

He must have measured the shims that where already on there since he is using the same carrier and the same pinion size. Pretty common to reuse the same size shims. then paint and test from there.
but then again, he did not assemble the pinion without the crush bearing first. He must be winging it lol.
LMAO

Your wasting your time with that 7.5 rearend, I've blown up so many of them it's not funny. These rearends were originally in V6 Monza and vegas.
They actually came in alot of V8 applications, Solid rearend @ 400HP, & below with Street Tires.
