If I recall correctly, the handbrake bell crank protruded enough that I couldn't easily press out the bearing without potentially putting pressure on the crank while clearing the studs. I'm sure I could have gotten creative since I have a lot of sleeves and plates. I try to balance what is easy (and safe) vs doing a multiple press sleeve/press plate stack that somebody might not have access to and if done, incorrectly could damage the part or injure the operator if they aren't experienced enough.

@@theheavymetalslug8340 thanks. Your video helped me a lot to fix my LC100

@@emil77 awesome! thanks for watching!

That's an interesting take. There is nothing destructive about this process in regard to the wheel studs if you take the proper precautions. Do you replace your wheel studs every time you rotate your tires? Because that is the level of involvement that the wheel studs have in this scenario. They're simply not engaged in any of the press process. For the record, I did suggest new studs but the person who owned these axles, didn't want to pay the extra amount to swap them. I'm not going to be willfully negligent and destroy his property. I can easily take an extra step and give it back to him with no extra headaches.

Hello, there is a link in the description.

@@theheavymetalslug8340 thanks for your response.

@@theheavymetalslug8340 would it also work with the Japanese Toyota trucks please?

@@leonardchinguri9288 yes, it would. just make sure you have the correct adapters. Message the ebay seller (I don't sell these) and he can give you pointers on what adapters are needed. An easy way to check is if the bearing part number matches across several models.

@@theheavymetalslug8340 thanks very much for your cooperation.

That's a good idea. I'm just accustomed to doing it this way and have had no issues. However, pressing out the serrated studs sounds easy enough. I'll try that next time I do a set of these axles. Cheers.

@@theheavymetalslug8340 lol. I would probably do the same and totally forget I have a press sitting across the room.

Thanks for the feedback! I totally could have. Only reason I did not is because I use that tool for other purposes and really didn't want to modify it. Definitely get it for him. I often get damaged axles in where the damage could have been prevented using this tool set.

Thank very much

hello, there is an ebay link in the description of the video. @@DinhNguyen-pg2vp

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback.

Thank you, Timmy!

happy to hear!

I recommend swapping the bearing. In the event that the bearing is good and the seal has failed, the gear oil will typically have already worked its way inside the bearing which changes the composition of the grease and compromises the integrity of the bearing. You will likely need to redo it all again in the near future. Best to do both all at once and enjoy many trouble free years/miles.

@@theheavymetalslug8340 Thanks a lot for that advice man. I'll do as you suggest.

@@theheavymetalslug8340 Hey, what do you think about NAPA bearings? Are they good or should I use OEM?

@@jla3772 have them open the box. Some brands use private labeled koyo or NSK. Either of those are prefect with Koyo being OEM. Both are Japanese. Avoid chinese bearings, if you can.

@@theheavymetalslug8340 Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the feedback! I rewatched the video and I definitely did a terrible job explaining why I used the washers. The reason was because I could not get my calipers into that area. I used the washers to then measure that spacing. Take care.

I have a link in the description. Thank you

Your link doesn’t go to that part and I couldn’t find it. what is the ebay name of the seller?

@@perrycollier2989 it is a link to that sellers ebay page. Click on any of the listings and you will see the user name on the right. Click "contact seller" and ask him about the tool you are looking for. Thank you,

You can click on the link in the video description to go to his ebay store. Then send him a message. He also commented on this video (Duane Bier). You can try sending him a message through RUclips.

sounds great!

Awesome!

Hi, I don't sell these. I just made a video using the product. Please check the video description. There is a link there.

Duane we are an import shop and have used your tool regularly for a couple of years. Works perfectly. Recently I've seen some new pieces which we were not offered when we bought our orignal set - It looks like you've made a plate to use on the top of the axle when pushing it into the new bearing and an adapter to remove the old retainer instead of cutting it? Also somehow our guys managed to misplace the adapter for pushing the bearing back in so I need to buy another one of those also. How do I go about ordering these thanks

I’d like to order one but can’t find it on ebay

Sir, I'm not sure what you are asking for.

@@theheavymetalslug8340 I mean, that piece in black, and it's got nails on it.That looks like him.

@@theheavymetalslug8340 Please show me how to make it.

@@theheavymetalslug8340 Do you have a WhatsApp number to contact you, sir, please?

@@mohamedalzpeedy6202 oh, the horseshoe shaped part. Please message the eBay seller in the link in the description. He sells them

Glad you found it helpful. I posted the link in the description. This axle was out of a 4th gen 4runner. I started the video by stating it was a 2nd gen Tacoma axle because my brain was somewhere else at the time. Same process but different bearing.

Also, I emailed Duane and he said if you send him a message on ebay, he'd be happy to make you one. He is currently only selling it to people who have already bought his tool or are buying the complete kit. again, you can message him through the ebay link.

No needle bearing in the ADD tube. Likely your bearing which is the bearing shown in this video has play and is worn out.

It was a bearing separator kit that had a 2" and 3" separator. The 3" is the one in the video

Was Duane just temporarily out? Or does another vendor have them?

@@michael184272 just message him. he won't be listing it. He will only be selling them to people that already have the kit or are buying the complete kit.

@george I just got one last week, so he's shipping them. A bit pricey compared to the bearing removal kit price, but makes race removal soooo much easier.

@@user-lv2yw8ds8g that's awesome. Glad you found it helpful

You can find it through the link in the description 🤙

Glad you liked it! Tools I got on eBay. There's a bunch of chinese knockoffs now but the original manufacturer is donaldthebonald.

I added the seller's store to the description

No problem, Tim! Thank you for the kind words.

@@theheavymetalslug8340 I will be making a video doing to job on a 2003 Tundra and your video will be helpful to consult. I watched that one as well. I've been working with Duane for several years now. I subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to other videos you publish.

@@TimmyTheToolman awesome! It's going to be identical to the 3rd gen 4runner including the polished surface measurements. Only difference is a longer axle which may require repositioning during pressing. The second gen tundra is a bit different and more similar to later gen Toyotas.

@@theheavymetalslug8340 I never did the job on that 100 Series Land Cruiser a couple years ago, but I now have someone local to me needing the job and I watched your video again. I will mention your channel in the video and also provide a link to your video in the video description. Thanks again for documenting this job. I especially like your technique of using the washers to figure out how far to press on the ABS tone ring and inner retainer. I was thinking I would measure and cut a piece of PVC pipe to use as a spacer to get the correct depth.

@@TimmyTheToolman That's a great idea! I'm excited to see your video. I need to add more videos of random fixes. Just haven't had the time. Big fan of your channel!

That is a fine suggestion and you definitely can. My initial thought is that doing that while pressing might be a bit cumbersome. It will require dismounting from the press and removal of the tool and then reinstalling the tool and back on the press to make micro-adjustments. With this technique, the correct spacing was reached as I pressed without having to stop (aside from stopping for the video).

Thank you very much!

I appreciate that! glad you liked it.

Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it, Duane.

I just finished building a shop press just to do this job on my wife’s 12 Tacoma. I don’t think it will be to tuff. I always take pictures before I remove things so I have a reference right there in hand. I have less then a hundred in the press and right at a hundred in the tools. The dealer wanted 650.00 per side. I’m retired so I have more time then money. So I’m doing it myself.
