    Hind sight is 20/20. Give this guy a break, he runs his own company,operates the equipment,maintains it and provides us with knowledge and entertainment. Sometimes it may include things not to do. I think he is wise beyond his years and I appreciate his efforts to show us on You Tube. He never said he was a bearing expert nor does he claim this is a teaching video. He is learning as he goes and taking us along with him!

    A easy way to install bearings like that is to put the bearing in a freezer and get them cold and take a torch and just warm up the pulley, then just drop them in. Works like a champ and no bearing damage. Just found your channel and really enjoy it. Have a good day. !!

      Right? Like the time he lost power and brakes in his crane, it stared to roll down the hill, so he bailed, and the next day he went to retrieve it, like he's done it a million times before. And it was lying on its side, too! A crane! After he bailed, he probably said, "well, that's not good. I'll fix that tomorrow." Me on the other hand, a guy who once punched a VCR, would not have handled that with such grace and aplomb.

      I was more wondering how you are supposed to get the inner bearing out first with the spacer installed so you can actually reach the snap ring. Makes we wonder as well if the spacer is original. But if not I would actually expect two different sizes of bearings, so each can have a lip as registration surface.

      Same here, I've replaced a lot of bearings in components that were never meant to have their bearings replaced and never seen such an arrangement. In this specific arrangement the snap ring makes sense, but only an engineer would place it where it was! I wonder if the original design only had a single bearing in it and this was a '-1' factory fix?

    Been watching your videos for about a month now - I’ve been binge watching and really enjoying each and every video.
    You are all about the entertainment with complete honesty rolled in for good measure - no one knows everything about everything - although you will find the so called experts are ready to critic each and every mistake you make. (makes them feel better about themselves)
    Funny thing is experts would edit out their mistakes to give a sense of a perfectionist at work - it’s only by watching honest mistakes as they happen means we all have learnt something, which includes what not to do.
    I was once an apprentice many years ago and through my many mistakes became competent to become good at what I do.

    • @Crewsy
      @Crewsy Před 6 lety +53

      No. You only hit or press the bearing race that is open.
      For the install, Andrew should have had something large enough to press the outer race to not load up the ball bearings but some times you do press the inner race if the bearings are pressed onto a shaft.
      Generalizations like yours lead to failures. Surprising since you’re allegedly a mechanic.
      In Andrew’s case to remove the bearings you don’t have a choice since the outer race isn’t accessible.

    • @ToTheTopCrane
      @ToTheTopCrane Před 6 lety +39

      Wayne Crews, not sure if you are referring to my comment? If so, I apologize if it is vague or misleading. You are exactly correct with pressing the inner race when installing on a shaft and outer race when pressing into a housing. I'll also add that when I install sealed bearings such as the ones in this video, I try to use a press and refrain from driving them in if at all possible. One slip with a punch and the seal is ruined. Then back to the bearing store we go. A quick tip....a person can use the old bearing (after a little size alteration with a grinder) as a bearing driver to install the new bearing.

      The one set of press caps that Andrew shows at the end should work for most bearing removals and installs.

    Your old bearings were sealed type thus the red rubber shields. the type you installed are just shielded type and won't keep water out.
    I would order some replacements that are sealed type and next time your working under the hood area again, replace them with the water proof type.
    Great job of figuring it out BTW. I grew up in an electric motor repair shop that my father operated in rural MN, came across some of the most incredible tuffy's just like your situation here.

      @sickmannduane633 Před 5 lety +10

      Lohhjj Lohicv metal shields are just to keep grease in and a small amount dirt out. Rubber shields were designed to do a bit more by providing a way to keep more dirt out and somewhat water proof as well, they accomplish this by using a higher quality grease that itself is resistant to water infiltration. Will the rubber shields wear out ... yes and then the grease itself will still provide a measure of protection until it wears down from exposure as well.
      My dad learned this over years of work on motors, he eventually came to stock and install only the rubber shielded bearings because they “outright” lasted longer. In severe service motors he would actually carefully remove one of the rubber shields and repack the bearing with a very high quality water proof grease and then reinstall the shield and had great success with this process with motors that were in “wash down” areas of food processing.

He is learning every day and he knew he could run that truck without the fan and alternator. He knew that the coolant pump was separate (Nice Design) and he would not overheat. He knows a lot about bearings now. (This was over a year ago as I watch this). He has done SO much since this video. Bearings,Tracks, Welding, etc.. We all know. His equipment for excavating and his videos have matched his abilities as a mechanic, landscaper and videographer. The drone has added so much and he has used it masterfully. Hi, Andrew! You were here all the time? That's right, this is his channel. He can see this. Snowmobile season is upon us!! I am addicted to your style. :-)

    a hell of as lot of things use the 6207 bearings ,so it pays to keep a couple on the shelf. When the bearings fail like that ,the outer ring is expanded a few thousands making them tight. you can freeze them but i Just zap a blob of weld on the inside of the outer race and this shrinks the ring,they often drop straight out .

    you are a hard worker and I enjoy your videos, and those bearings will probably last a long time... but not as long as they would have lasted if you hadn't hammered on the inside race putting them back in the sheave. pressure should only ever be applied to the outer race (if that's the one that fits in the housing) or the inner race (if that's the one that rides on the shaft). pressure should never be applied across the bearing components while the bearing is stationary.

    nice job. that inside snap ring would have screwed with me too so don't feel too bad about that. when your pressing your new bearing in though you should always try to press it in from the outer race so your not side loading the bearing itself. pressing the old ones out who cares your replacing them anyway. one way to get the right outside diam. spacer to only on the outside race is to take a old outer race from the old bearing run the outside of it around the bench grinder so its a slip fit in the bore then back that with a large socket. most people probably would have spent a week or more trying to find the whole assembly rather than just replacing the bearings and spent way more money.

  • @onesadtech
    @onesadtech Před 3 lety +3

    I've done my fair share of bearings and never seen one with a snap ring in the middle either. Great video. Definitely should try to press new bearings in to place by whatever race is fighting friction, meaning in this case press the outer race into the pulley, and press the inner race onto the spindle. Pressing on one race to force the other into place puts a lot of lateral stress on the bearing and can make them wear out faster.

      Started on diesels and cats, went to helicopters and have seen many internal snap rings. Weight is everything and an internal boss or sleeves increase complexity and weight.
