@paulsjunkcars Well, i didnt notice any metal that had been shaved, scraped or grooved where the bearing sits. it was shiney and clean. Also didnt really notice any spine damage. Whenever, the wieght of the van in on that side it will pop, but fine when flat and straight. I was pretty zoned in on the seal and bearing so maybe i just overlooked it. I mean these vans dont really have to many componets that operate the rear.
@paulsjunkcars No, it showed up a few days after, im 100% positive its coming from the same side. Its only when im turning right. More so at slower speeds.
@scheufele44 what i would do is pull the wheel and drum back off and grab a hold of the axel and pull it up, down,left,right,back and fourth to see if there could be any play any where.
great vid man ...I just want to be sure on a couple of things #1 Im guessing there would be a stop or lip inside the axle housing that the bearings and seals must be seated on and #2 should you put any grease on the axle or bearings before you put the axle back in thanks again for posting sir
This is the best video I have seen (believe me I watched a bunch of bunk vid's to get here) I like your straightforward approach, I had intended to replace the whole thing housing and all (didn't work out) so I have the whole original out and on the bench, so replacing axle bearings, seals and the spider gears, should be pretty easy, everything else seems tight. You saved Me a lot of aggravation, thank you from the deep south deer woods !
@paulsjunkcars thanks man I also saw the seats when you were cleaning the housing dont know how I missed it......also I watched some of your other vids anyone who likes cars guns and fishing is ok in my book sub and friend sent
@knottyrich you might want to check the fliuds in your master cylinder and the fliud in you rear end to see if either one is low on fliud. you may want to get some brake cleaner and clean the whole area where the leak is taking place. then check back soon after driving the vehicle and see if you can tell where the leak is coming from. thanks for watching.
Thanks for taking the time to make a video for us folks. I always feared the the axle bearing replacement job but it went pretty smooth after watching.
@scheufele44 your welcome. im glad everything worked out. yes those 2 gears are a pain but once you figure out how to do it then its pretty easy. im glad i could help. thank you for watching. :D
@XMSTARSHIP2 yes there is a spot on the axel that the bearing and seal goes on, look at the video at minute 2 thru 2:23, the worn area is where the bearing and seal seats. yeah it would be a good idea to put some rear end oil on the axel and bearing. great questions, thanks for watching.
how do i know if its the axle shaft seal and bearing..or the brake cylinder leaking? i think its the bearings/seal cause its making a howling squeaking sound. do i have to replace both? can i just do one side at a time. is that a good idea? thanks man. great vid
I borrowed the puller, the seal drivers were between 20 and 30 dollars (cant remember exactly) at my local auto parts store. I do know some auto parts stores do tool rental. Even if you use the tool one time would it save you enough money by doing it your self rather then paying some one else. Thanks for watching.
Hello again. I would like to ask your opinion. I only replaced my bearing and seal and reinstalled the same axel. now, I hear a poping, knocking sound when i turn right. Is this a sign of a worn axel shaft. It all started with gear oil leaking thru the seal so i figuerd that would be it but maybe it got to the point where the axel got worn. Is this a good assumption?
Not sure what the going labor rate/price of parts is in your area. You may want to call around to a few repair shops and they can get you a quote. Good luck.
@XMSTARSHIP2 thank you. is there any way to unlock a combination lock with out the code? i watched a few of your videos and they were very interesting. i used to pick my own locks with a tool called a "quick pick. i never could master a combination lock. thanks
Thanks for the great video Paul. I plan to do this to my 95 Chevy g20! One question is did you change that "bad" axle? The one you reinstalled looked to be the same axle.
thanks for showing how to do this.my seal just went out on my 85 chevy truck and i had no idea how to do it.now i do...lol thanks

One suggestion: After you slide the axles out, slide the pin back into the diff so those spider gears dont fall out on ya

@scheufele44 i would not think it would be the axel unless the popping sound was there before you did this work.

Thanks for the info/video. I was always told if that gear falls out its a major pain to get back in etc etc. You made it look simple.

try and change axle oil first when the fluid gets old it will cause this sound to happen to you good luck i had the same problem

Thanks Bro. Im sure you saved me alot of $. Those 2 gears are a ass pain when you try to reinstall the pin but it all worked out for me thatks again.
Hello again. I would like to ask your opinion. I only replaced my bearing and seal and reinstalled the same axel. now, I hear a poping, knocking sound when i turn right. Is this a sign of a worn axel shaft. It all started with gear oil leaking thru the seal so i figuerd that would be it but maybe it got to the point where the axel got worn. Is this a good assumption?
@scheufele44 did you take a look at the wear area on the axels? how did the wear areas look?
this video help to check correct problem in machine
Your welcome. Yeah that gear is not as bad as some people make it out to be. Glad I could help. Thank you :D
Yes I did. For some reason I did not put that part in the video.
i never worked on a 84 before but they should pretty much be the same. :D good luck
Thanks Paul! This made it go pretty easy, really appreciate the vid!
MrMuench You're welcome.
this video to help me to plug a new bearing and seal, many thanks)
You're welcome
how did you get the ring gear to turn? My wouldn't turn.
Put the car in neutral
Your welcome. I am glad The video help you out. :D
Great video, thanks for sharing. I had to view this when my gear fell out.
Not sure what the going labor rate/price of parts is in your area. You may want to call around to a few repair shops and they can get you a quote. Good luck.
I have another video that might help. It's called "remove rear axel on a 1993 chevy g20" Thank's for watching.
@RCMANX your welcome :D
@XMSTARSHIP2 thank you. is there any way to unlock a combination lock with out the code? i watched a few of your videos and they were very interesting. i used to pick my own locks with a tool called a "quick pick.
i never could master a combination lock. thanks
How can you take out the horse shoe clip???? im doing mine but i cant remove the horse shoe clip?!
Your welcome.
@mrhyde0420 LOL thanks and your welcome :D
Thanks for the great video Paul. I plan to do this to my 95 Chevy g20! One question is did you change that "bad" axle? The one you reinstalled looked to be the same axle.
MadMat You're welcome. I did replace the axle with another use one I had. Good luck.
what did the bearing puller and the seal driver cost you is it worth buying if somebody like me is going to do the job one time?
What does it typically cost to have this done for one rear wheel?
Thanks
Aint the same way i would do it but everybody has there own way right!
great job
Thank you.
thanks for posting!
my question is how the hell to you get the axle out?
I have a link in the description to another video on how to remove axle.
Did you grease the bearing?
jak penn don't need to. the rear end 80-90 does
any body that uses a carpenters hammer is not a mechanic
I bet the black guy did it thinking he saw a bucket of KFC under it! Hahaha
HAHAHA....Those dudes are some shit talkers
thanks for showing how to do this.my seal just went out on my 85 chevy truck and i had no idea how to do it.now i do...lol thanks
