You deserve so many more views & subs I love the videos. In my opinion, you nail the perfect balance of information and entertainment (something I really struggle with) We seem to have very similar interests, and I hope your channel takes off soon as it deserves!
I saw you installing the seal without the bearing, I was like no!!! I love your channel because you didn’t try to hide it. You’re just like yup I did that now let’s try to fix it! Keep up the good work!
I never have to pull the right side rear hub to adjust the parking brake. You can make the adjustment through the slot but it can be frustrating at times. Also if the axle seal is stuck on the axle. Get yourself a long pry bar. Wedge the tip against the rear parking brake pad and pull it towards you. I do these all the time on school buses. Really poor engineering and design. You did great work.
Try a slide hammer to pull the seal off the spindle. I took a long flathead and bent it at a 45 about 2” from the tip. You can adjust the parking brake on the truck no problem.
Man, those look like a pain in the arse to work on. No brake adjustment, special tool required, studs through the discs, seals to replace every time. Pffftt Good job tho. Should keep it going for several more years
Hey, where's the part where you adjust the parking brake (as stated in the title)??? You ought to change the video title since you didn't actually show how it's done.
I am sorry you didn't find what you were looking for in this video. The parking brake is easy to adjust by turning the star wheel like any other car. The issue is that you cannot access it without pulling the drum/rotor. Hence, why the video is mostly centered around that nuance. I figured anyone getting this deep would know how to turn the star wheel themselves. Let me know if you have any other questions!
A wheel crisis. Great play on words. Keep up the great vids👍

The worst part is this is the second time I have done that!! But recovering from mistakes is just as important. Thanks for watching!
This would be more funny if I had seen this 30 minutes before doing the same thing instead of 30 minutes after...
Good Thorough Job. She'll be good for another 300K
Nice save on the Seal 🙂

Ill have to look again. I couldn't see a spot that would let me get into the backing plate even with a longer tool.
what is the size of the socket you used on the rear axle on the duramax
It’s a 6 prong spammer type socket. You can get them at most auto parts stores.

Perfect! You're just lazy enough to do things right the first time. 🍻 I call that a good mechanic.
