    Great idea, cutting the old race, and using it to hammer the new race in place. Worked great! Thank you

    Anybody posting videos on RUclips should watch this video. Take notes people he doesn’t bore you to death with telling you what he is going to do or how he is going to do it. Excellent video. I’ve done bearings once before years ago. I will do them again with much more confidence in what I’m doing. Thank you.

    I like to clean the spindle and hub out with brake cleaner. He used gas on a rag at least, but you don't get the blasting action like you do using a spray cleaner, especially after you've sanded and used scotchbrite. You want all those little sand and scotchbrite particles out of there that you won't get with just using a rag.

  • @talktolee

    when putting in the race, does it only go in one way / direction? or is the direction they face universal?

    • @TimeToEatTheBait
      @TimeToEatTheBait Год назад

      They only go in one way, the cone should face the the bearing. You can see the set up before you remove the old race.

  • @NJ-sk2gr
    @NJ-sk2gr 3 месяца назад

    Never have problems with grease leaking past the rear seal on the axle? Im having that problem. When adding grease or using the trailer some grease leaks past the rubber seal on the axle. Tried adjusting the castle nut tighter for a better seal but didn’t help. Its a pretty straightforward procedure so im wondering how its so finicky. Don’t want to keep changing seals when the issue might just be the nut adjustment

    • @TimeToEatTheBait
      @TimeToEatTheBait 3 месяца назад

      The nut mainly just adjusts for the preload on the bearings, Seems like more of a seal quality issue.

    • @SRadigFishing
      @SRadigFishing  2 года назад +1

      The hubs have a machined lip for the race position. You will be able to tell when the race is against it by how the hammer responds, it will feel different once against the lip and also by the sound.

      Not sure exactly what your question is, Bearing kits have both inner and outer bearing and races with seals and both trailer sides are the same.

    The Bearing Buddys were invented so you shouldn't have to do this. If installed and greased periodically, the bearings should last for many, many years without any problems.
