    I've looked at a dozen boat trailer vids for this simple job. Yours is by far the best filmed for visibility and lighting. The best for start to finish parts. Not just verbal instructions which aggravate the crap out of me when I'm looking at hey a VIDEO?? THAT MEANS VISUAL. lol thanks for showing each step!! I did mine and actually split the metal hub bearing chamber right down the middle knocking the race out w a flat screw driver. I knew I should have used a brass punch but I didn't have one so I tried to use the screwdriver. But to have actually split that cast metal I figured I might better just go for new hubs so I bought new hubs and bearings all the way around. Thank you so much for your great video

    Not sure if you're aware that those bearing race drivers are designed to be used with the taper facing the finished surface to help "self center" the driver in the race while installing them. The taper never touches the finished surface but is supposed to guide at the very top of the race and then taper "away" as the diameter decreases. Otherwise, there would be no lip or taper on the driver, it would just be a piece of round stock with squared ends and a hole in the middle. As machinist, I have custom machined these drivers for many years and are invaluable when installing bearing races, especially large ones using a hydraulic press. Really loved the video, you covered all the important aspects in a detailed fashion which seems rare these days on CZcams videos. Well done!

    • @EasyFixShaun
      @EasyFixShaun  Před 2 lety +8

      Thanks! You are correct. Over the years i have had trouble with the correct fitment like you are suggesting. I have had them not sit flush and rock on me when installing like intended. The default position is to flip them over and use the flat side. I am so used to it i forgot to even try it or mention it. Autopilot haha. My bad. Im glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the nice comment😀🔧

      Do you think he packs to much grease in hub? Most videos I see use far less. They definitely put it everywhere, but if this is how it's done then I haven't been using enough in fear of "too much is as bad as too little."

    This video is fantastic. Ten days ago I was pulling my 21’ Bayliner Bowrider on a single axle Escort trailer out of her garage and backing her up to wash and prep her for the seventy mile drive to the lake. While backing up my wife screams your right wheel is falling off. I thought she meant my wheel was off in the grass. I got out to see that my right wheel was indeed coming off the the axle. I admit I haven’t serviced my bearings for over twenty years. I had no idea because I only put my my trailer in fresh water twice a year. Got two bearing kits from my local marine shop and in the process of rebuilding both wheels. Interesting, because I’m figuring out that I’m on my own. Don’t have anything like AAA for trailers with a 3000 pounds boat on it. Good thing is that this happened right in my driveway and not on the road. Thanks for this video. I also have a six stud hub.

    • @EasyFixShaun
      @EasyFixShaun  Před 19 dny +1

      Thank you!! I really appreciate that and I hope you are able to get it all fixed up! Trailers are really simple, basic, and last a long time if maintained. I have seen the bearings outlast the trailer many times when they have been checked, adjusted, and greased periodically. It is easy forget about maintaining them for everyone. Happens to me sometimes too. If they break on the road it can be an extreme hassle. Trailers do a lot of good work hauling all sorts of loads 😃😃

    A good video.
    I learned bearing replacement and field repair from my Dad.
    He was a tool and diemaker and machine tool maker for 50 years.
    He made more tools than He bought. I even watched him weld, field braize and grind round spindles and tractor PTO shafts and re-temper them.
    I often use a brass punch, block of wood and wood dowel. Unless the races and seals are stubborn, it prevents me from damaging my work.
    I have always done the 1/4 turn method.
    For my trailers, I re- adjust after the first use. Every stop while pulling, we check the temperature of the rims.
    You should be able to touch without burning your hand.
    I more recently keep my work laser thermometer In my driver door pouch.

    Great job man, as a mechanic for over 20yrs watching a video on tapered roller bearing checking, cleaning, replacement, seating and bearing adjustment is only out of curiosity to see other ways of doing it than I do.
    But you covered to 2 only ways to do it properly with excepting to actually measuring bearing clearance.
    It’s simple you use a magnetic or vice grip style dial indicator base and a indicator that reads less than one thousands of an inch.
    That is the only real way to measure zero bearing endplay, the typically most bearing manufactures have a spec of 0.000” - 0.002” for long bearing life and operation!
    By the way cotter keys don’t get bent over the case nut, I’m every class, recertification or training course they are bent one to the left and right going around the castle but.
    The cotter key is more likely to shear if it is bent over the nut versus around the nut, I’ve seen it and it’s easy to tell which way the cotter key was bent after it failed!

    Excellent job!!! I have seen many a fishing trip canceled because some moron didn’t take care of their bearings (or fail to check tires, hubs, and pressure). You delivered an impressive amount of info.
    I always have a greased and seated spare hub with me for whatever trailer I happen to be towing. I build a spare when I am redoing the bearings. Once I seat the new bearings in the spare, I add a spare washer, castle nut, and cotter pin and vacuum seal it all together (seal-a-meal style). Bearing failures sometimes result in losing the entire wheel, as in it comes completely off of trailer… The hardware is usually lost in those instances… (sometimes a wheel lug nut is the same size and thread pattern, but that is pretty rare). Better to limp it home or continue on with the right parts (and not have to leave it on the side of the road, and then return with what you should have already had with you).

    This is the next best thing to watching a buddy who knows tons about bearings and is an excellent video to watch in preparation of doing this maintenance. Thanks.
    A couple thoughts: 1) once you get to the point of reassembling we want to be careful about keeping contaminants out of the bearing stack up. At 49:00 all the banging and wood work knocks all sorts of goobers into the grease which can eventually end up in the bearing. I think at least cover the seal with a lint free towel when banging the seal back in to prevent that. I also like to use paper towel when cleaning out the grease and then switch to lint free (blue papers) when I reassemble so as to not contaminate the grease with lint. 2) When using the zerk fitting you should continually spin the hub while pumping grease. The spinning helps the grease flow thru the return path back to the front. If you don't spin the hub there is a chance you can build up pressure at the inside bearing and blow past your grease seal into the hub area.

      @@stevetrepanier4351 Thanks Steve, all good technical info. Rtv isn't needed, seals are press fit and seal automatically. It wouldn't hurt anything to do that though. It is an extra step and not commonly done in the field.
      Clean parts and grease is also a great idea!
      Bearing adjustment is very important. Zero end play is the goal. Although with the cotter key system perfect adjustment can be hard to attain. With that in mind these bearing styles are extremely old and archaic but they work very very well 😃🔧

  • @xxlxpman
    @xxlxpman Před 20 dny +1

    Just one thing i do a little different, Dexter recommends that you spin the wheel/hub while pumping the grease in through the hole in axle so you don't blow out the rear seal.

    • @EasyFixShaun
      @EasyFixShaun  Před 20 dny

      Not a bad Idea at all! Great tip! Thank you for mentioning it for sure. This was just personal preference. I have found that pressure overcomes space and the spaces are filled by grease with or with out spinning. I haven't yet blown out a seal from greasing. I do spin sometimes also during greasing. I just have never seen any difference, the grease seems to fill the void either way 😃

  • @Oldtech51
    @Oldtech51 Před rokem +6

    Bearings are a little tight. Should be .001" - .005" end play on bearings running on grease. You can sand the washer to get a little more clearance. You must spin the wheel when adding grease to an EZ Lube system.

    • @EasyFixShaun
      @EasyFixShaun  Před rokem +1

      Good points for sure! I would add that .001.-.005 is hard to measure sometimes with a hub full of sticky grease. The hand adjustment is a viable method and solves that problem. It has been used for a 100+ years. Pressurized greasing happens everywhere inside without spinning because the seal on the inside. There is only one exit point for the grease. The hub will end up full of grease. Grease naturally goes everywhere but the spin method could be slightly better. I agree with you 100% 😀🔧

    You still ended with a little bit of preload on the bearing. That is perfectly fine. I am a aircraft mechanic for 35 years now and they use the same setup for the Landing Gear wheels, just much bigger tapered roller bearings. We torque them up to a certain amount to seat them and then back them off loose and torque the nut to much lower amount and the nut will always be more then hand tight…so some preload on the bearings in the end. The locking method for the nut is more then a cotter pin on airplanes! Good video with lots of good information for the average person with a trailer. I see plenty of trailers on the side of the road with the bearings blown out…especially BOAT trailers. I just towed my boat 1000 KM no problem because I serviced the bearings before I left…do it once a year.
