Exactly!! That’s absolutely wrong!! Good way to screw up a bearing cage.. 40 years rebuilding I never do that crap.. You press against the inner bearing race only with a old collar or pipe the same size never ever do what this guy says..This is not how us builders build rear ends at all totally wrong.
Brings back Vietnam flashbacks of trying to get pinion depth close on a wimpy in comparison Chevy 10 bolt rear end off a gmt400, without a pinion depth gauge. And then the yellow gear paint.
Never apply force to the bearing surfaces. If you do not have the proper driver one can be fabricated from the old bearing. My tool box has a huge assortment of old bearing races which I use for drivers. Sorry I disagree with this.
First I’d never press a bearing like that, he probably F-t that bearing up. I don’t know the tonnage force required but a side lateral force like that did that bearing no good, just saying. Second if you have decent old bearings, hone them out so they slip fit on the pinion . Install new races in housing, use pinion depth gauge. Tighten everything up . Then check backlash and teeth pattern. You can get real close. Then disassemble, install new bearings. One way is to heat them up in a hot oil bath to 275 degrees then press on pinion or you can do it cold also. Then reassemble and recheck your specifications. If your building a differential from bare components the process is more difficult and you definitely need a pinion depth gauge to achieve a successful outcome.
You just installed a new bearing with a race?!? Wtf? There's nothing like flat spots on a new roller, holy christ 😳, what is that job security because that's noise fir life
, that goes for all differential you hone out the bearing bore so it just slides on and off then you in doing this you take the press fit so it slides on and off it makes setting up the differential so much easier
How do I make a setup bearing , and is it guaranteed to be the same as the actual new race I'm installing? Isn't that the purpose of the spacer shims , or are all races made to same tolerance ( by being manufactured in high strength steel) and its only the softer casings that may be cast to less accurate tolerances ?
We'll do a video on making setup bearings soon, but no, they aren't guaranteed to be exactly the same. You do have to double check once you put the final bearings in, but usually it's still good.
@@jimmykimmy5763 there are lots of them lol there stuff would show up at a shop I used to work at on tow trucks once a month. U tube is creating more back/front yard mechanics than ever before.
@@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259 it was tounge in cheek...I actually have a race driving set. Still takes some serious work to get it them seated correctly.
@@calebbitz9469 it’s normal to have an oil slinger but it’s not always used. The D60 we regeared in the Blue Jimmy didn’t have a slinger but we added one that came with the kit. It’s likely it was removed during a previous service.
@Ryan F yeah I think whoever rebuilt it didn't put shims back in right spots or the oil slinger. Also noticed my particular dana 44 for my avanti is slightly different than other dana 44s as the axle tubes are different (don't see why that would change location of oil slinger and shims vs same year dana 44s.
I wouldn't press a taper bearing on the outer race the rollers can easily mar the bearing surface, always press on the inner race of a bearing
Dude I didn’t know Rob Halford could help you set up your axel. 🤘🏻👍🏻
Best comment 🤣😂
Bro really just pressed through the rolling elements...
I’ve never pressed on a bearing using an outer race.
Same here press only on inner race
So how do you establish the roller oiling indents?
@@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259
Hahaha 😝
Use an old inner race and die grind the inner dimension a little to make a tool to easily press the new one damage free😉

Honed setup brngs are a must on shimmed new gear sets

How do you know how many shims go behind the pressed in race. What will you do, press the race out to adjust it?
Eventually you just do it without thinking. That's when you know you are good.
That’s how you grenade a rear end… complacency my friend.
Not all butchers work at the meat market … not how I would press that bearing on !
I always shim under the head bearing to avoid having to drive the race in and out

I Would Have Flipped The Oil Restrictor If It Didn't Touch.. How Wrong Would This Have Been ? *
I learned how to figure out pinion shim width before calculators. At that point I wished I'd passed Ms stinchfields math class
Wtf... never press on bearings like that...

That's what I'm doing this holiday is putting in pinion bearings out in the driveway
In Buffalo, NY, right?
@@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259 LOL Dallas when its 70 degrees
@@TejasToolMan Much better, good luck with that.
Not a do-it-yourself tutorial. 😀😀😀😀Folks, dont try this at home. I won't.

One differential that I’ve never worked on. I’ve done 10-12 bolt Chevy and Ford 9” but never a Dana 60.
Can you do this for Dana 44s? This is awesome
Did you just press the first bearing on with the outer race???
Yep he did🤫😳🙈🙊
Information nobody every talks about.
Race or cup ?
Flywheel or flex plate ?
make sure you only use Timken bearings pure guality products
Bearing cups do not all have same depth.

Is it me or are those bearing on the wrong way round?
You never put a race on to push a bearing
The set up was a little different on my 08 super duty d60 🤔
Great video and explanation but I have no idea what you are talking about.
And the professional makes a terrible mistake in the first 10 seconds. NOT A PROFESSIONAL
The turbo encabulator...
Damn, I need to do this
Lol 500 of the 1k that liked this video just f'd up there build cause the non mechanical idiots just got brave watching this 🤣👍
Do Kidding Da!
Great info for someone that knows what your saying 😂🤣. Like me . But not gonna help a clown doing it in his our hers front yard .
I mean to be honest though what clown would attempt to build a Dana 60 in their front yard 😂

Full respect for the older spartan race shirt
Umm, w.t.f? My 2 yr old has a toy,that is very similar to that..and he can stack and unstack all the pieces...umm, yah....
Very special using the race to press the bearing 😢
He didn't.
By press into the case....he means beat the crap out of it with a punch and a 16 Oz hammer.
I use a 2-lb mallet, less noise and fewer dent marks.

Ya right can you work on my car
This couldn't be more wrong if you tryed
Looks wrong
It looks better when it's actually installed in the housing. ;)
@@UintaGarage my dana 44 out of my Studebaker Avanti didn't have an oil slinger where yours is located. Is this normal or are you familiar?
