Awesome video thanks for showing me how to change the centre bearing mine is absolutely destroyed
No worries mate, glad my video helped you. Cheers, Andy
i work at a mech garage and this is one of the best how to videos ive seen haha
Thanks mate, I appreciate the feedback. I have many years of instruction experience, albeit with aircraft avionics but I enjoy helping people learn to do their own maintenance. I appreciate you commenting, please subscribe if you haven't already done so and check out my other videos. Cheers, Andy
@@grayzbildz yeah 2 easy dude
Mate this video is excellent, very clear explanation and great editing. On my VX the rubber gearbox to shaft coupling is completely torn, as well as the centre bearing so I'm in the process of replacing them now. This video is a huge help, thanks.
I'm glad my video helped, mate. I love getting feedback on how my videos helped. Good luck with the job. Please check out my other vids a d consider subscribing as it helps my channel grow. Cheers, Andy
@@grayzbildz I liked and subscribed :)
Like your videos mate, I'm sure you're helping plenty of guy , keep up the good work.
Thanks Steve glad you like them. I like to inspire and help where I can, amazing so many jobs aren't as difficult as people think so if I can help people save money all the better! Please share my channel to help me keep growing. Thanks again for watching and commenting, it means a lot. Cheers, Andy
Nice tutorial, another job done on the Brewtus.. 🙂👍👍
Another awesome video, thanks for putting it together 🙂
Glad it helped!
Super, nicely done. Thanks for the vid, I know what is involved now for when mine needs replacing.
Yep its not too hard at all, and mechanics seem to charge like a wounded bull for jobs like these. Thanks for watching and commenting. Andy.
Champion mate. I think our cars must have been build by the same bloke because every problem i have been having lately you seem to come out with a video for. Love your work.
How many kms has yours got? I guess it's just the age that these things start wearing out. 16 years and 217kms isn't bad for any car. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Andy
Great video mate thanks for that!
Thanks for the feedback mate, glad it helped. Cheers, Andy
Very helpful, thanks mate ✌
No worries, glad it helped. Cheers, Andy
Thank you for the tutorial very good job explaining what to do just subscribed
Cheers mate, glad it helped. Please subscribe if you haven't already done so and share my channel to help me grow the channel. Cheers, Andy
Good stuff mate
Awesome job mate 👍🇦🇺
Thanks!
I was told by auto trans specialist. The slightest noticeable perish cracks in between the bolt holes. Couplings are done. Throw away...
Theyre a flexible joint obviously and when they're under load and at rpm they flex. Their job is absorb vibrations/frequencies and they shake basically when the rubber is breaking down.
Good video anyways bud we all can learn alot from stuff like this
str8 to the point thanks mate!
Yep, I don't believe in BS. Cheers, Andy
Really good video, easy to follow and really straightforward. Thanks heaps 👍
Thanks mate, glad it helped you.
They are called COUPLINGS 😅
Great advice in this one, when I do Gloria, it will be up on a hoist. Need that hoist for sure, in the new shed, that you also need. A bit of advice when installing a new bearing, a bit of bearing fit Loctite is good to lubricate whilst assembling and stop later shaft wear.
Great vid mate
Thanks mate!
Good video mate cheerz
Cheers mate. I'll give this a go.
Good luck with it, glad my video helped. Please subscribe and check out my other vids if you haven't already done so. Cheers, Andy
You and me both hate laying on the ground to work on my 1 Tonner , I’m over sixty now and sure could do with A Hoist ✅👍👍🤣
Although a fair bit younger than you Tim, my retirement shed WILL have a hoist. Stay tuned for a virtual tour of my massive retirement shed being built this year! Cheers, Andy
them round things are called guilbos,great video and a tip if you have the sv6 vz,tail shaft seperates by just pulling apart similar to g8 pontiac,has a dust coverwhich is easy to knock off,then circlip remove,see g8 tailshaft video on here.
Doing again today 4yrs after replacement. Good video to refresh
4 years? Wow. Is that using aftermaket parts or genuine? I'm pretty sure mine was original so 16 years and 214k. Cheers and thanks for watching.
Nah was off ebay and the rubber shit itself. New one is genuine.
Just about to do the same changeout on my VU. thanks for the video!
You're very welcome mate, glad it helped. Please subscribe if you haven't already done so. Cheers, Andy
Hey was that a 15mm star socket i need to buy for the rear rubber?
@@jimmylulfnin normal sockets work fine. For memory yes I think 15mm.
thanks for the video was help full in changing the center baring on the wifes car
You're very welcome. And thank you for your support! Please share my channel to help me grow. Cheers, Andy
Great stuff mate..well done...we all wish we had a hoist😁
It has been a game changer for me, much easier on my knees and back in my old(er) age . Thanks for watching and commenting . Cheers, Andy
Great tutorial, Andy. Looks like that rubber coupling is pretty close to the exhaust. Tony
Yeah not the best design. I had to clearance it a little, but at least being independent rear suspension there is no vertical movement of the differential. Cheers, Andy
Thanks champ.
Good one mate nice job! Really like your vids! Here’s a tip if you’re like me and loathe the idea of striking axles/splines/stub axle ends with a drift of any sort - use an air chisel on the old bearing outer race and it’ll pop off in a jiffy!
Thanks mate, really appreciate that. And yes that is a great suggestion! I will be using that. Thanks for watching and commenting and check out my FriBaT series, new video drops every Friday arvo. Cheers, Andy
I have this job coming up on my '07 VZ V6 Wagon. Could I use a set of bearing pullers and a rattle gun to get the old bearing off?
I don't know of any bearing pullers that would work, but worth a shot I guess. Have fun! Cheers, Andy
Great video thanks, still seems a bit risky but at least I have a good idea of what I'm in for. I'm gonna go for it. You gotta have faith in yourself right.
Great. Glad my video helped! Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it! Cheers, Andy
Awesome mate thank you. I have a knock when i change gears or on deceleration. Unsure if it is the tailshaft or an engine/gearbox mount. I need to drop the tailshaft on my blue ss ute like yours and check it out. And i dont have a hoist either. Will use your video for guidance!
Great mate glad I could help. Engine mounts are also common at this age/kms as well. Thanks for commenting and good luck on the job. Cheers, Andy
Good job mate. Followed your.lead and just did my VZ SS ute centre bearing, I have.a hoist in my shed, just get one, life’s easy then. U ex army? See you roll ya socks over them g.p’s, it’s practical & looks neat. My ute is throwing “reduced performance mode” constantly, will change bcm today see if it fixes her. Keep up the good work!!
Hey Bryan. Thanks for commenting. Yep cant wait for a hoist! Not not ex army, but you're close. Not GPs, steel caps. Think techo. Anyway, that's no good your ute is having problems. Do you have a scanner to read codes? Cheers and thanks for joining the GRAYZBILDZ family. Andy.
Worked well ! Just the 1 Q is why not replace the uni joint whilst apart. I heard they are a non-replacable unit unless been modified.
Yep non replaceable. Had no play in it so back into the car it went. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Andy
Use a pipe over the inner race to press the bearing on evenly.
Good job. Surely some random company can sponsor you a hoist
Who knows mate. If I can keep building my subscriber numbers, maybe someone will sponsor me a hoist in my retirement shed! Cheers
Awesome vid!
What size is the bigger drift you used and what size smaller drift will I need for putting the new bearing on?
Hi Alexandra. Sorry just saw your comment. My brass drift is about 20 to 25mm (1') and the smaller one to reinstall was about 10mm. Hope that helps! Cheers, Andy
Hi mate, such a great vid thanks for uploading. Quick question, the 15mm star bolts you mentioned, will a normal socket get them out or is it a special one? Cheers and subbed!
Normal socket mate. Thanks for watching and subscribing! Cheers, Andy
Great video helped me out but mine wouldn't budge on the bearing so I'm still sitting here watching lol
I had those parts replaced about a year ago and since then the whining from the transmission box and the vibrations disappeared. At first, I was was dumbfounded as to what the problem was until a fellow holden owner suggested those parts.
Hey joe. Just a question you didn’t think it had anything to do with the diff or anything. I think my shaft is making a racket under there as well.
Did you do urself. Cheers.
The diffs in these cars are renowned for input bearing and carrier bearing wear causing whining, especially in higher km vehicles. Cheers, Andy.
My center bearing was perished after 240k km's . Got it replaced by a mechanic , and after the replacement I could feel vibrations . He said it is normal , and after 2000 km's The bearing rubber is perished again - I think because of the vibrations . Probably he didn't put the spline where it was originally , and got the shaft out of balance . I should have done it myself then , now I have to replace the bearing and to get the shaft balanced probably , as I don't know how the spline was connected originally . I am not going through the pain of proving , that it was his fault . Might be easier to do it myself .
Glad my video helped mate.
Thanks mate for the reassurance. Im gonna give it a try. Do these holdens typically have a U joint at the very front coming out of the transmission to driveshaft? Or is it just the rubber coupling at the front .
Rubber coupling mate. Glad I could help. Please subscribe if you haven't already done so, and please check out my other videos including my weekly #FriBaT Friday Beers and Tools every Friday Arvo. Cheers, Andy
@@grayzbildz thanks, have subscribed 🤌
thanks for taking the time to make a video about it mate. now I'm considering giving it a shot on my VT
No worries! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! If you haven't already done so, please subscribe to the channel and check out my other videos. Cheers, Andy
Excellent..Thank you.
Great vids mate, would you have a Vid on VT Auto Trans removal and replacement please?
Negative sorry mate.
Thanx mate, top job great video. I’ve got a ve Ute and reasonable mech skill but not sure if I’m up to this job. What would be a fair price to expect to pay at a mechanic shop? Cheers. Col WA
Hi Col. Prob 2 to 3 hours I would think. Most mechanics now charge $120-$140/hr..... so not cheap.
what if my vice isn't big enough to grip the bearing I cant seem to get the old centre bearing off the shaft
I guess you might need to get a bigger vice mate, or take it to someone who does have one. Sorry can't help you out mate.
hey mate wondering if you have any tips
for separateing the tail shaft into 2. ive used heat and smashed it with a hammer and it won’t budge… cheers
Hey mate. What model ? Perhaps yours is one of those its easier to take to a mechanic to get apart?
Have you tried the air chisel suggestion below?
@@grayzbildz it’s a VU LS1 Manual
6:39 putting the shaft back together straight is my main worry, do you have any tips? Allso does that small ring around the small shaft bit on the inside get in the way when putting the bearing and shaft back on?
It will align itself. 7:55 shows what you need to do with the C clip, it has to be oriented so it sits into the groove.
I have just tried this but my bearing must be stuck on there realy good because it is not budging at all LOL, might have to try with a bearing splitter or something even hitting it from side on with a chisel isn't moving it either
Wow, it really must be jambed on. I guess these vehicles are getting older so that may be a factor. Good luck with it, sorry my method didn't work for you.
This has been something I've grappling with constantly on a vy as ute @ t56. Once again ready to take on this annoying job. Thanks for the comprehensive dialogue, twin X force run straight down the drive train which doesn't assist with the heat that you mention. It surely compromises there integrity of the drivetrain....
Pardon the typos, helpful I hope nevertheless. Any tips on those pesky right rear double exhaust pipe hangers?
Thanks for the comment. Yes the hangers can be a pain especially as they get older, again heat-cycled they don't stretch the same as new. My recommendation is get some new ones and cut the old ones off. They aren't very expensive. Hope all goes well mate and glad the video helped you. Cheers, Andy
@@grayzbildz hi again, upon removal of exhaust then tailshaft... it was in generally good condition, however, front doughnut/coupling was completely compromised. Summary, very good how to, learnt a few tips and tricks along the way thanks to your tips and detailed explanations and footage. Exhaust replacement was the most time consuming no thanks to doing it on axle stands with limited access. Once again, thankyou for the inspiration, feedback and info. Great channel you've got, will look into some more of your diy stuff in coming weeks, all the best for a bumper 2021 🎉👍
Glad it helped. Please share my channel to help me get to 1000 subs please mate. I wish you all the best for 2021. Cheers, Andy
@@grayzbildz for sure brother, about to watch the diy re-tint windows and short shifter installation
How do u take tail shaft out of gearbox Coupling
Thanks for the question. I found that you can only get the tailshaft out if you drop the centre bearing. Hope that helps. Cheers, Andy
Hey mate,
My tailshaft bearing needs replacing but this seems like a lot of effort to do. Can any steps be left out?
The part cost me only $28 but mechanics quote is nearly $500 ... but I'm beginning to see why
A lot of effort that's why it's $500 to do. No there isn't any short cuts sorry.
@@grayzbildz I figured. Cheers
Where I can pay the Parts?
I need a online website with international shipping please...
I'm sorry mate, no idea. Ebay? Where are you located? Cheers, Andy
Can you do a video of how to take of the evap purge solenoid on a VZ, mines Ticking and I know it's gone bad and J wanna buy a new one on eBay and replace it myself, can only take of the electrical wire but the other two can't for the life of me work it out, and zero videos on CZcams how to take it off.. SMH
I could mate if I still had a VZ. Sold Brewtus awhile back, sorry! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Andy
Is it necessary to remove exhaust?
Depends on the exhaust but it certainly makes access much easier. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Andy
Any tips on separating without a vice?
Bloody difficult without.
@@grayzbildz I figured as much might be time to invest in one hey haha thanks mate
Hey Man...nice video
Plz share the link, from where you got the parts
Thnx again
Just eBay mate, but I would try to source OEM if you can, much better quality. Cheers
Do you have to get it rebalanced?
No as long as you take note of the orientation of the two pieces of driveshaft i.e. draw a line on the shaft prior to disassbly and ensure it goes back together the same way. Cheers
are there any cur clips?
No circlips on the type I did mate.
@@grayzbildz thanks mate, got a v6 vz ute, so im going to do this, when hammering the new bearing on does it stop itself when its in place or is it possible to over shoot it?
No as far I know, it bottoms out.
@@grayzbildz ok thanks!
Hi buddy do u remember how many splines your shaft was ? I did pause the clip & counted 26 but its a dodgy way of doing it !
Hey Mic. No sorry didn't count the splines, not sure why you would need to?
is it possible to change that center u joint?
Yes they can be replaced, I don't think they're a common fail item though.
@@grayzbildz i would guess that it would have to be rebalanced ? there isnt any clips or way to kno if its center. would you kno the part number for ujoint? i dont have the old one anymore , not even sure if its available in the US. im running a one peice drive shaft and it sucks, terrible vibration With the one piece drive shaft.
need help
@@poopstickwatson not sure how to help from Australia mate. Plus I've never done the centre universal joint before.
@@poopstickwatson no I don't think it would need rebalancing.
The worst doughnut looks to be very close to the exhaust maybe throwing some heat rap around the exhaust would make a difference….would u know the uni joint part number I tryed looking but u have to buy the whole tailshaft
No mate sorry don't know a part number for the uni joint.
Is this Auto or Manual?
Manual but autos tailshaft is very similar.
Looks like your in Tom Price
No at the time of recording I was in Katherine NT.
Doing a center bearing is a pain in the arse.. I've done it before on my VX.
Question your you mate, as I trust you... Once car is warm-
Squeal sound from back end left hand side
Car jerking when going up hill
After braking and taking off, clunk from back end and jerks forward after a few seconds.
Sounds like a sticking brake piston in the brake calliper, or perhaps dragging brake drum. Haven't been doing handbrakeys have you?
@@grayzbildz Wifes car so I dont think so... lol
@@grayzbildz would say Replace brake calliper.... what a fix for dradding brake drum... And thanks you very much, Wishing you a happy New Year...
Unless you're confident, leave brakes to a specialist. As I said, it could be either. If it's a dragging hand brake, when the vehicle is making the squealing sound whilst moving, gently pull on handbrake a couple of clicks, if the symptoms change then you know it's a problem with the hand brake. Hope that helps. Happy new year to you too. Cheers, Andy
Isn't there an internal circlip on shaft... The couplings are known as spider couplings. And it's a said rule to never bash the shaft with a lump hammer. Can knock outta balance.
Technically shafts supposed to be balanced but yeah if alignment marks are made and care is taken most likely don't need to balance.
Most people charging to balance shafts probably don't even bloody do it! I had a centre bearing replaced by someone who reckons balanced shaft. It vibrated after.
So it was either the original couplings or it was outta balance from the way they realigned. God knows all I know is it sucks to have vibrational in ya, driveline.
Too bad Holden didn't manufacture enough of these to go round and too bad no one Sells properly reconditioned.
Like whole shaft uni joints replaced whole shibang and quality parts used.
Like n sub👍
Thanks!
eBay cuplings are rubbish
eBay don't make couplings! eBay is a platform to buy from various sellers, some that sell good quality stuff including genuine parts and some that sell cheap rubbish!
@@stefanoprinci5664 you are right , if they do don’t have made in Germany on them there rubbish and you will have to do the job again
