Take it from someone who has the same work environment, this was a great video. I understand the frustration with the snap ring as I found my snap on Snap On snap ring pliers were missing and without them it's a bear. Keep up the good work. Especially on your K3500.
Hey thank you for that man. Much much appreciated 🍻

Good video ,I was wondering how that bearing came out ,iam doing aEaton HO52 which has,1,washer plus 2 nuts first nut 50lbs of tork 2nd 175 lbs ,thanks for sharing I loved it
Thanks for watching man! 🍻
Excellent video👍🏽…that’s part of my things to do on my LLY…Aloha🤙🏽
Thanks Brudda! It'll be a fun one :D
So you torqued the spindle nut to 52 lbs, and backed it off a little. I pulled off the hubs, and the seals seemed okay but the bearings were loose and could slide. I didn't have the spindle socket so just tapped it tight with a flathead. I didn't replace the seals like you did, so would the oil sleas slide on by pushing on it?
Hello! Absolutely. If your seal is still good then re installing the seal onto the hub assembly then pushing it back onto the spindle, seating it with maybe a couple taps from the dead blow should get it back in place.
Quick question man, I replaced the seal on mine not very long ago. I’m not getting any leaks right now but a very loud clicking/ticking noise. When I drove it yesterday and stoped it was so hot around the wheel it was smoking and the center cap was hot. What comes to mind on that?
Oh man, that's not good. First thing that comes to mind is there might be too much load on the bearing. You might back the axle nut off and readjust the pre load.
Was it the bearing going bad?
Hello on the out bearing how far to you put thecseal ? Just ti where the retainer goes in? Please let me know
Aren’t you suppose to spin the hub as you tighten the nut? Also you didn’t back it off then hand tighten it. You hammered it with the impact didn’t you say that would cause premature wear?
You can try to spin the hub as you tighten it... but usually that only works if you have another person helping due to the difficulty of tightening the nut (notice i used a ratchet strap at one point to help keep the socket in place). Otherwise you have to do what I did amd tighten then spin to gauge if the seal is seated and that there is enough pre load on it. It should take as much force to get the hub spinning as it does to keep it spinning. Also, not sure we watched the same video, I didn't hammer it on with a impact.. or did you skip around in the video so you didn't see me first use a socket wrench then a torque wrench then used the impact right at the end to align the key hole, using a punch and hammer for the final alignment? You can absolutely over tighten the nut to seal the hub then back off the axle nut then hand tighten the nut again by hand. When you put it back together and drive the truck the hub will pull back out to where the nut is. Not a huge problem but that back and forth on the seal has a small chance of damaging the seal. Small chance and I wouldn't worry about it too much if you go that route. I simply tighten the nut until I got a full seal and got the tolerance I was looking for and also tighten the nut until approximately the same amount of threads were sticking out as before. Best of luck.
What about oil?? How are the bearings lubricated?
2 ways. Bearings are both in an oil bath from the rear diff gear oil as well as I pack them with grease out of an abundance of caution. You don't "need" to pack them with grease because they are in an oil bath, so no worries if you skip that step.
@@KooshdaakaaGarage Okay yeah, that's what I thought. A couple things with that, when I pulled out the rear axles, they were pretty dirty, if the oil is flowing through there it's sure to get contaminated.. The innermost bearing just seems like it wouldn't get much oil, considering the diff oil has to flow out the differential through the spindle and the outer bearing.
6 views and no one likes it. I will throw you one.... Prince of Wales island 🏝
I just had to pull my front drivers side axle and replace the U-Joint , not one cap came out intact .
(..and no crabs were hurt ... not even scared). More than I wanted to know about that Dodge .
Thank you for that Angus! Those crabs will live another day... to get bigger and more tasty! Those u joints can be fun if it's been a while since they were changed. Glad you got er done 🍻
i cannot get the hub snap ring out....
Yeah that snap ring is a major pain. Are you using snap ring pliars?
@@KooshdaakaaGarage yep, a used pair, now fighting to get it back in, its amazing how the right tool can spare you stress.. this has been a four day job, wrong parts, hard to find tolls, etc....
@bradleystevens2956 oh I hear ya man. I didn't have snap ring pliars the first time I did this and it was a pain. Then I got snap ring pliars the the dang snap ring still wants to buckle and pop out!
👌🏼
I gotta pull out the outer bearing race in order to get the outer seal installed first correct?
Thank you for the question! The outer seal or gasket is the axle gasket so that comes out before you remove the hub assembly. The only other oil seal is the inner seal which comes off before you can gain access to the bearings. I hope I understood your question and answered accordingly 🍻
What size jack do you use?
Hell Chadrack, and thank you for your question. I use a 3 ton jack. A 2.5 ton works just fine as well 🍻
Where did you find the keeper clip for the outer bearing??
