Do you have any videos on how to remove this axle? Thanks!
is this the same for the mustang’s ?
good job!
could i use this bearing on my skateboard
Fag, the grease mixes with the gear oil. You must be a fag, fag…Fag xD That’s your favorite word based on 90% of your Youtube comments, fag. FAGGOT
What kind of gloves are those? They look very durable
Nicely done. Helping out the DIY people
Thanks!
Here is a good video on removing the axel. That video along with this one is exactly what you need for the whole job. Search for title “Replace rear axle seal on a Dodge Ram”. It is a dodge ram but it will pretty much be the same for any rear wheel drive axle bearing replacement. These two videos together make a complete video to do what you need 🙂
If you put the bearing in your fridge freezer for a half hour the bearing will slip in without the need for the slide hammer. You can also use the same technique for the seal.
Where did you get the correct slide hammer… i went to harbor freight to get their axle bearing removal kit but it doesnt come with a slide hammer.
what is the weight of the slide hammer you are using?
Great video, retarded commentary
the grease won’t be there long, they use the gear oil in the diff to lubricate, the front bearings are what you’re thinking of, must be packed prior to install. This grease in the rear will be liquified into the diff oil going through the gears the way it will, it will be emulsified.
Thanks for posting this video!! I have to do both bearings on my 95 Lincoln and this was the first video I found that showed how that bearing comes out, I really appreciate it!
thank you for the info 😀
U should never use that red grease!!!!!! That shit does nothin 4 heat and will burn bearing right up.. [use wheel bearing grease]
Thanks for the video, I can’t find a single video of the same kind of bearing other than this. I’m about to do one on a 99 mustang and it seems pretty easy. The axle removal is probably the most difficult to what I am expecting. If someone can give a link to remove the axle, that would be excellent
Where do I get a voice like that? Sounds like a radio host.
different portion of the machined axle shaft. This saved me about $180.00 in a new axle. But everything else went well. Thanks again.
I used your techniques today to remove my bearings and seals. I had a regular seal puller and used it. Those seals can be a real pain. I borrowed a bearing puller from O’Reilly’s and along with a 5 pound slide hammer, they came right out. Using your technique, I was able to install the right axle bearing, but the left side required a bearing repair sleeve. I was not confident about it, but my parts guy explained that the repair sleeve is bearing/seal assembly that rides on a
Great tutorial thanks a million!!!!

Is there a way to tell that the bearings need to be replaced without tearing the axel apart?
