I've been a company driver for 18 years. Now I've become an O/O, and your videos really have shown me so much on how to work and fix my own truck. Thank you very much!
I'm both diesel and gaz engine mechanic from Iran. I love my job and I plan to migrate to Canada to become a truck driver. In my opinion anyone who wants to drive heavy vehicles in harsh conditions like ice roads, logging, etc. should be at least a medicore mechanic first, then attempt driving. You can't beg bears and wolves to help you when you break down in the middle of nowhere. BTW great videos. Carry on and let us enjoy 👍💪
@@TATEXPRESSINC also: I just got my seal replaced precisely in that rear corner, yet after less than 1,000 miles that seal is leaking again. What are the possible failure points that would cause that; I mean parts and what was done incorrectly during reinstalling the assembly that would cause it to leak again? Thanks in advance.
@@psuperpsychophreak if it's leaking after 1000 miles, the seal was not installed correctly. Probably damaged in the process by using wrong installation tool, cleaning hub or not torquing the spindle nut properly.
I've learned so much from you , your vids give me the confidence and assurance at work. Love the energy you bring , its like im right there with you. KEEP IT UP !!
You truly have a gift for breaking things down to where anyone can understand thanks a lot this has been a big help to me in learning in my new role at work
Your video's have been such a great educational resource. I'm currently in college working at getting my level 1 as a Truck and transport Tech and I really enjoy your in-depth explanations and details. Thank you for being such a a great instructor. Cheers!!
Not sure of your reasoning for these videos; be it educational, monetary or just for likes, but please accept my sincere gratitude bro! Hopefully all of the pre-mentioned things are there but let me add that you are literally helping me feed and house my children and grandchildren as well! Being a mechanic kinda fell into my lap, long story short. I was in another field and life happened, as it does sometimes. I say that to say, I had next to ZERO experience doing this. Your videos gives me the tools sorely needed and I appreciate you dude! Thank you!!! P.S. Your camera person needs a raise!!! LOL
The wonders of technology ! My '97 Pete had the old style bearing system, without the spacer, and when the bearings wore a little the inner race of the inside bearing moved ever so slightly outward , allowing it to spin on the spindle. Eventually all four drive wheel spindles needed to be replaced, normally meaning new axle carriers. An other option, much less expensive, was to weld new spindles on and a specialist was available for this. The new system put that type of specialist out of business.My '07 Pete had the new stuff.
Finally a mechanic that knows not to lube the seal when installing it into the hub. So many morons on here using forms of lube. Says on the damn box not to. Also, no need to fill the hub be for you install the nut like that. On the hub as you can see in the video when you're rotating it there is a 8mm Allen nut you can remove to directly fill the hub. And also that torgue spec is 350-400 for that hub locking nut. I can gladly send you specs. But the shop you're in looks good enough to have that resource. Also enjoyed not seeing you get that last inch of when you're trying to line the shaft up in the diff lol. Video edit. Good luck and happy wrenching.
What's up, man! I hope you're doing well. First of all, thank you so much putting in the time to record this video and share your skills with us. I'm working on my Mack Master certification through my job. This last week our instructor walked us through replacing wheel seals and drum brakes. Our company bought an old Mack GU713 on auction for us to practice on before they rebuild it. Total beater, but a great truck for us to get our feet wet, especially since it's been through hell and back; every step of the way we learn from the challenges that come with working a well-"loved" truck, haha. Anyway, when I came home today I wanted to see another perspective on replacing the seals. I searched "replacing drive axle hub" on RUclips, and this was exactly what i was looking for. Man, you make it look so easy; I thought I was gonna throw my back out just trying to get the wheel back over the hub without a dolly. Thank you for all that you do and keep up the great work!! I look forward to checking out the rest of your channel. You just earned yourself a subscriber.
I'M WISH TO LEARN MORE ABOUT MECHANICAL JOBS ON SEMI TRUCKS LIKE HOW TO REPLACE BRAKES,. CHAMBERS,.AIR BAGS,SEALS,.THE JOB WHAT I DO IS ROAD SERVICE TIRE SERVICE ONLY,. I'M WANT TO LEARN ALL THIS BRO .
nice clean install, also i like how u put detail in explaining why u do some things the way u do, but not to much detail. good video, good job. oh and the sound was better in this video
Adam your very knowledgeable Smart & Etc. There’s a other you-tuber name ( Francisco Amaya ) & ( Truck Yoo ) . I watch all 3 of you guys and I learn a lot, keep up the good work. Also congratulations on the new location and & best of wishes.Keep those good video’s coming ! 🚛
TAT Express Inc. .. Yeah I seen he’s going to TX that’s gonna be a great video make shore your nice and Rested and give us a great knowledge show.. Blessings on the new location.
Awesome videos. I like the explanations of what you're doing and WHY you're doing it. Also, thumbs up to the camera person for getting great angles so we can see the process clearly. Subbed for more videos!
@@TATEXPRESSINC would be awesome if you set a link to purchase the tools or recomed the tools you use I think for every purchase made by your link you get something thanks for the awesome videos an helpful tips
Hey there! First time watching your video. Thank you for all that great information, very detailed. Keep up the great work. You got a new subscriber. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Im a new subcriber of yours, Thanks for sharing your knowledge sir adam, this instructional video is very helpful to a begginer like me. Keep up the good work and keepsafe always!
I like that big drum you used. I'll make one for work. The fun part tho is when u working on a disc brake hub where u can't put it on a drum and got to change the seal.
The guy that showed me how to do this didn't lean the axle up against the truck where it wouldn't fall. And for some reason he got his creeper out and was under the truck when he kicked over the axle causing it to fall across his shins. He was limping around the shop for like 2 months. Same guy when throwing drums away in the scrap bin gets his finger caught which causes him to do a 360 flip and land on the gravel parking lot. I helped him find his glasses and didn't give him too much of a hard time but when he went back in the shop the boss said why are you covered in gravel? and I lost it!🤣
Brother I watch all your videos ❤ I like the way you explain step by step but im missing one thing what size is the seal number I know every truck has different sizes but on Volvo what is the number would you please let me know thanks ❤
Thanks, if you have cups on the axle studs, my advice is to get new split cups if they were not split cups before, you will save yourself a lot of work getting them off the next time around :).
Hi I was wondering if you did a video on how to replace those bearing races. Also we’re can I get a socket like that , or is it homemade? Lastly how can I look up torque specs on any make or model of truck/ is there a specific web sit or is it out of a service manual? Thank you
Great video Adam greetings from the United states virgin islands in the carribbean st.thomas us territory I am new to your channel and I am a journeyman heavy equipment Mechanic my dad was a diesel technician he taught me most of what I know so far he passed away last year I like the content what size is the axle nut socket are you hiring in Texas send a link to the application thanks for the videos already subbed God bless and be safe out there
It would be good to mention to the upcoming mechanics that before you back off the breaks you must make sure the truck builds up to around 120psi. You learn after a couple skinned knuckles lol

So it uses oil in the hub bearing from differential to lub bearings ??
Aye great video man, can you do one of the scam bushings and replacement. Great channel man💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Great explanation 👌 👍
Great video, you’re a real pro brother, keep them videos coming 👏🏼👏🏼
Have you ever used breakfree or is WD your go to?
If I'm not mistaken, that's a conmet preset hub?
I have the same wheel nut what size socket did you use?
Thank you my good man, for sharing the knowledge.
Giving the people what they want! Thanks Adam!!
Thanks for watching.
making it look easy dude. Great video. keep up the great content. much appreciated. i hadn’t tried my adjustable prybar. I will now.
Great, video very detailed!
Thank you!
Great video man, what size is that big socket for the locking nut, I got volvo and want to get one to do seals. Thanks
Brother I watch all your videos ❤ I like the way you explain step by step but im missing one thing what size is the seal number I know every truck has different sizes but on Volvo what is the number would you please let me know thanks ❤
I love this channel. Thanks guys!
Hey boss I have a question, do you the torque that goes on a 1996 Kenworth T600 for the hubs?
Thanks, if you have cups on the axle studs, my advice is to get new split cups if they were not split cups before, you will save yourself a lot of work getting them off the next time around :).
Thanks for sharing
Thanks I have 2 wet seals not leaking yet will get split cups. To replace.thanks
Can you do a video on how to place jack stands
Great video! Can you tell us which year did Volvo start using the newer style spacer?
Thanks watching
thanks for the information. great content youre producing keep it up!
Thanks for watching!
Experience. Trabajo. Tec. Una pregunta cuato torke le. Diste al. Wheel bearing i
i think i would have put the sandpaper to that tone ring & cleaned the windows as much as possible, the rest looks good, thank you.
Excellent demonstration and thanks
Love your videos. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.
Love doing axle,brakes,hub and tire jobs
Would the turbo considered lubricanted part when it comes to talking warranty
What size socket and was it a 6-point to remove axle nut? Thanks
100% content.Loved
I appreciate the support
will you be my mechanic fantastic video thanks for sharing knowledge..🙏
What size you use for removing the nut
Very Very good step by step video Thanks I needed that
I have fluid stain on the bottom outer side of the hub only. Does this indicate a leaking gasket only? Or seal also?
Are standard fasteners more common than metric on semis
Awesome vid Bro!
Great video how about one on the different locking nuts
can the tone ring be replaced or do you have to replace hub?
What size is the socket to remove the axle seal 😊 👍
1 1/8”
The axle flange most likely 15/16" and spindle nut a 4" six point.
great content step by step thanks for sharing this
Hi I was wondering if you did a video on how to replace those bearing races. Also we’re can I get a socket like that , or is it homemade? Lastly how can I look up torque specs on any make or model of truck/ is there a specific web sit or is it out of a service manual? Thank you
New subscriber.
Excellent tutorial. 😎👍
When your finished with the job Is topping off the axle fluid necessary ❓
Good video but I'd suggest a hub without a bearing shim the bearing preload is tricky for people that don't know how
I subscribed. Hey, TAT for TAT.
If the flange seal gasket is the only part leaking is it fine just to change that only?
Do we need to check differential Oil due to oil lose or what you did is enough?
The oil for bearing coming from differential or it's putting separate? On a hub there is a cap, or oil putted there?
Yeah….
How did you fill the hub with gear oil?
What is the oil frequency change to the rear diff, please?
I work for a leasing company and we change the diff and transmission oil every 500K miles.
Thanks for making this video
It's my pleasure
Great video Adam greetings from the United states virgin islands in the carribbean st.thomas us territory I am new to your channel and I am a journeyman heavy equipment Mechanic my dad was a diesel technician he taught me most of what I know so far he passed away last year I like the content what size is the axle nut socket are you hiring in Texas send a link to the application thanks for the videos already subbed God bless and be safe out there
I think you should wear safety glasses for security purposes sir. Just saying.
Great idéa dude
Thank you for your time and videos love them!!!!
Putting Lucas on the inner bearing and seal helps a little too
I generally pack both inner and outer bearings to ensure lubrication while the gear oil works its way back to the hub valley.
It would be good to mention to the upcoming mechanics that before you back off the breaks you must make sure the truck builds up to around 120psi. You learn after a couple skinned knuckles lol
How much did that drum weigh? You made it look light?
Where do we check to see if we have a seal leak on a pre trip? It’s deep in the hub
Great Video!!!!!
