Just installed the roller bearings and the truck feels completely different. Lot of noise and vibration disapear. Thanks for the video. Everything went like shown on the video. Im not a mechanic and did it.

Mr Wood says:

I’m in the UK we have this same truck with front wheel bearing issues that’s had a disc conversion…. Any chance you could help? If you reply I will forward the questions I need to ask, thank you.

Eric Ruiz says:

Just bought the bearings, thanks for sharing this video…
Its a 54 chev 3100 from Puerto Rico.

Mark McDermott says:

Greetings. Does anyone know if the bearings for my 1948 chevy 1 ton, 8 lug, are the same size as the the 3100 1/2 ton, 6 lug version? My front bearing is making the classic sounds of wanting upgraded and this is the first time doing "huck brakes". My 5 window gets so much attention and everyone loves the "rusty look"! Ha ha!
Take care!

Ruben Rangel says:

Can you do that to a 1950 Chevy truck 3600 series on the rear

Bamps-2021 says:

Excellent series of videos

Gary Helms says:

ONE question- After you installed the front and rear race, bearings and seal you proceeded to put the hub back on the spindle,
but what exactly holds that round plate (about 3 inches in diameter on the spindle) in place after assembled. It that was left in place the whole video.
It seems it would be loose and rub the brake plate or the hub when the wheel is spinning.
Good video overall and THANKS for the videos. I just purchased a 54 chevy truck and already have placed an order with Brothers truck parts.

Clyde Millhaven says:

Just replaced the bearings in my 1951 Chevy pickup. This video was very helpful and did a great job breaking it down step by step. Also very valuable tips for getting stubborn bearing races out. Thanks for posting!

It's much easier to install new races if you put your new ones in the freezer over night.

Stephanie George says:

Hi David . I’m about to do a disc brake conversion with the Brothers Deluxe conversion kit and I also purchased the inner and outer ball bearing upgrade. I’m having a problem removing what seem to be the bearing . What do you suggest I’ve tried everything and it seems to be stuck on the wheel itself. I’d like to send a photo but don’t see where I can attach it.

The time change Sunday was more of a strain on me than hand packing doing this same change out on my 48 survivor this morning. Nice job explaining.

Joe Sheppard says:

Thank you. Great information!
