My F-150 pickup had a whine in the rear end most likely due to the fact I did not replace the crush sleeve when I replaced the pinion seal at the front of th…

Lol. NOT 15.ft.#!!!
1.5 ft.lbs or 18 inch-lbs.
Don’t use a torque ‘wrench’ for that.
I will be doing this job soon. Did you replace pinion bearing and carrier
races? a friend told me just change bearings and don’t do races. The master
install kit I will buy comes with races.
Late night but job well done.
Oh, never pull out!
Now you know why the mechanics make the big bucks. 🙂
Cool
😀
This truck has 4:10s. From the factory they actually have beefier bearings
all around. You might look for a larriatte rear end and save yourself some
headaches.
HI UNKIE SCOTT!…love the beard. My hubby works for gm and comes home
smelling like these oils often. Can’t imagine what a fords rear smells
like….lol…just jokin’ 😉
I’m glad you posted this one, Greg. After the two axles are off, do you
reinstall that middle shaft so the spider gears don’t fall apart as you
pull the whole diff out? When they talk about spider gears falling apart,
how do you keep it together? Do you think this job could be done with only
one person? My rear axle whines, too. It is especially loud when under
power, not when coasting. Was yours like that?
That’s why I put this stuff out there… I don’t know jack beandip about a
lot of things, when I learn, I pass it on.
Yeah dude. Sulfer for days. That crap just permiates your skin. The whole
house smells like a burning tub of rotten oil.
looks like been leaking for awhile
I’m putting 4:10 gears in my truck so I will get the joy of doing this also
! 🙂
I have a Chevy ! LOL !
Wow! That was pretty impressive work.
I hope so to man… That was a lot of work. I’ll tell you though… I’m
willing to try it again if it isn’t right.
Sounds easy enough…
Does it matter??? some adapters, a few extra bolts, a new drive shaft,
modify the ABS sensor, weld on new perches, swap your springs… Piece of
cake right?
That’s good advice. In my videos I try to emphasize that you should never
rely on one source for critical info. I hope people listen. Regarding the
torque, I’ve done that too, misspeaking. You can add an annotation into the
video to clarify what you really mean so that you don’t have to leave an
error in place. Cheers!
You and Unkie Scott did a great job Greg! Great example of tackling a
project and getting it done. Problem solving 101 right here! Your golden on
the next one……….but I hope you never run across the next one!
thanks for the look inside that differential…good video!
Well Greg you are fearless, hopefully the test drive went well. You can
also check bearing pre-load (rotational drag) with a string wrapped around
the pinion shaft and fishing scale to pull the string and see how many lbs
it takes to rotate the shaft.
WOW, I would not have thought about that. Good call.
Thanks man… Gonna have to revisit it soon.
Thanks man. The seal was leaking for about 3 months before I had time to
tear into it. It got oil all over the place. I knew it was bad, so I kept
the oil topped off til I could fix it.
No doubt! Scotty is the MAN.
handle it well, your helper is handy to have around……….tony
You got that right… It stinks to high heaven back there. Glad it’s over.
LOL!!! NO.
That is a job that is nice to have help. Hope you got it this time.
I really hope that’s the last one. I wouldn’t mind doing it again for a
high performance application. I think that would be fun. For a daily driver
though… I’d like to never do this again.
Thanks, Greg.
I can smell that job from here….nasty…
Gotta get it DONE!!! That’s the only way I know how.
You got that right. I think I saved about a grand. I’ll take the bloody
knuckles every day when I can save that kind of cheese.
Yep. They seem to change the way they do everything else though… I like
the clips in the old rears better when they were at the wheel end. MUCH
easier to pull the axles that way.
I hope you meant to say inch pounds and not foot pounds of rotational drag
.the old school dial inch pound wrenches work best for this . Gear oil
stinks so bad . Can I borrow your helper sometimes ?
Thanks man. I hope I never have to see it again.
No problem… BTW, the last torque I gave should have been 15-19 in-lbs not
ft-lbs. There are some videos on setting rotational torque/bearing
pre-load. Watch them before you do this job. They show the correct tools
and what it takes to get this job done right.
Dang.looks like ya got.some busted knuckles and ya got.greased up
lol..great vid as I no nothing about rear ends..well I used to not know
anything till now..lol..great vid Greg..CJ
wow you make it looks so easy
just to much
Cant believe they still use clips to hold the axles in….
