Thanks for the detailed videos! Doing our wheel replacement today got 6 seasons on the T4S tracks before a couple bearings blew out. Followed the Camso recommendation and adding 80w oil under the wheel caps before each season helped extend the bearing life.
Great video. Camoplast is awesome. I flat spotted a few bogies on the front and they shipped a complete new set of wheels and included the puller. They didn't charge me a cent for the wheels, puller, or freight to Alaska. I've been hesitant to start the job but your video explained everything. Thank you.
They are a press-on fit. That is where the 1" socket is utilized with the mallet to drive the wheel and bearing back on the stub axle. The factory puller is the correct tool to remove the wheels and bearings.
I watched all your videos on this. My question is can the bearings be changed with out changing the wheels. Use set on my area for a decent price. I know it needs some bearings what to see if its worth it or not.
From what I've seen on other videos the caps are nearly airtight. It takes some persistence (patience) to get them to stay on while the compressed air bleeds out from under the cap but, once set, they'll hold themselves in nicely. Just hold the cap in place for a while (less than a minute) to give the air a chance to escape.

Thanks for a great video. I'm looking forward to tackling this job.

I thought I was doing something wrong and there must be some sort of trick to get them on. Nope, its just difficult. thx for the video!
Why not use lithium grease instead of oil?
What holds the wheels on that don't have a bolt to hold it ? How do you release those ?

Do you use a silicone to hold the bogie wheel caps back on?
