Thanks for taking the time to video this. I managed to change my hub bearings today because of your video. The only thing missing is how to change the bearing races. That was fun 😂
When your wheel rocks like you did at the start is not always a sign that your bearings are worn/damaged. When you inspect the bearings and you see no damage then you can bet the bearings were not bedded in properly with axle nut on last assembly. A very common issue when unqualified personnel are servicing your van. A great and informative video.
Hi Fred. I think that is exactly what happened to me. Lucky we caught it before andy damage was done. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching 👍
Hey mate, great video.. Was your inner bearing and outer bearing same size/numbers?? I've got a 19.61-3 journey outback and Jayco provided me with only 1 set of number which is L68149. Hoping that's the case then I won't have to disassemble hub to find bearing numbers. Cheers
Thanks for watching. I didn't have to replace the bearings they were still in good condition. Just a clean and repack. Van had only done less than 10000km.
After cleaning, i always also closely inspect the bearings, bearing outer cones, and axle seal for any damage or wear etc....first time i services wheel bearings on my Jayco outback Hawke, i found one of the bearing seals spring was broken, so i replaced it and brought some spares, which always go into the boot of the van...

Hey mate, thanks 👍. Yes, they were the same from memory. Cheers for watching 🍻
Great video mate .... did you get the replacement bearings from repco or did you have to go to jayco ?

Thanks mate for the informative video. Im about to do the same.
👍 no worries.

Great idea to carry some spares. It's always great to be able to look after your own gear.
Great video mate.
Why you selling the van ?
Getting a new one ?
Hey mate. Yeah we have gone larger for full time travel.
@@FamilyEscapeAustralia congrats mate. I’ll no doubt see it on your channel.
We’re they new bearings or did you just clean and repack ?
Can't wait to get it. When I cleaned them up there was no issues so just a repack. Would have replaced if they were damaged or had evidence of wear.
Do jayco use Holden or Ford bearings? Thanks
Hey Steve, I am not 100% sure, sorry. Maybe give one of the service centres a buzz they may be able to help out.
Awesome mate. Are you a mechanic? I note you said aviation, so an aviation mechanic?
Thanks, mate👍. Yeah, I have worked in aviation for the past 12 years. My trade is avionics, but I have done some mechanical as well.
👍
Using a soft hammer...........good to see. Amazing how many so called mechcanic's and techs wont use soft or nylon mallets.
Definatly not a mechanic just trying to pass on the things I have learnt that may help others if they need it. Always good to check over your gear.
Wow mate don't take it back to the same place... I'll stop short of calling him a mechanic
