One last thing to add is if you have the stock retainer, you will need to slip that onto the axle shaft before you install the new bearing kit. If you have an aftermarket retainer, then you can put it on later down the road. Best of luck to those who try to tackle this!
Thanks for this video !
Thanks Mitch!
Most of the whining noise in my car come from the passenger seat where my wife is sitting!
Nice job Mitch keep the video’s coming hope to see you guys at super celebration west my bronco and I have been out of action for a couple years cancer treatment can’t wait to get back out there say hi to your dad hope to see you on the trails.
Thanks, Tim! As long as the world doesn't end before Super Cel West, we will definitely be out there!
Mine sounded like popcorn when they went! 😜😏😎
I think that's a good thing haha
@@wildhorses4x4 they pressed off and on pretty easy of coarse I had a full blown machine shop at my disposal at the time! 😏
Do you have to remove a race from the axle housing now that you are not using tapered bearings? How does that work?
No, but unless you know for a fact they're set20 Timkens, mixing and matching is probably not a good idea. Just leave the race off the new bearings. Often though they have a different style. You can definitely rent the tool to pull the races at parts stores like O'Reilly's and Autozon
It’s also important to note the early roller bearings (not tapered rollers) the seal is in the housing, not on the axle.
I have the tapered bearings. I had to take them back to the shop twice because they’re leaking. Now, I have to do it again. Is there anything a specific I need to look for on the axle. Pulled the axle, and race is stuck in the axle tube which I think is fine. I just need this to stop leaking.
@@chriscoffey6667 if you have a habitual leaker, you need to check if that housing is straight.
Sadly, most are somewhat bent from being 40+ years old.
@@welndmn thanks for the reply man.
Dis the new one a tapered bearing
It's really a sad world we live in when CZcamsr's have to add a disclaimer to their videos.
😂Yeaaahh, it is what it is. We would just rather warn people that it might not go as planned. That's with anything Bronco related haha
@@wildhorses4x4 They don't have to, as anything on CZcams is 'entertainment'. Kinda like Fox New's defense.
