- In this one I freshen up the bearings in my junkyard Sterling 10.5 Superduty axle that's part of my Toyota FJ Cruiser solid axle swap project! Enjoy this Thursday update!
Great job Ken!! You struck a nerve with everyone on the grease your bearings thing but your right , they get lubed from the diff oil. Every time you crawl over a Boulder the opposite bearings will get lubed. Lol
I appreciate that everyone wants to help! But yes, the way I did it is good.
The balancing act continues as Ken records two videos at once leaving the crowds wondering if he actually packed the wheel bearings with grease. An experienced mechanic and sculpture king always remembers! Thanks for the details.
Ken, if you ever break one of those axles then it’s time to question why you haven’t installed five point safety belts.
Thanks Jey! No grease!! 😀
@@offroadhub.official intentionally?
@@jeytex3161 Yes. The entire axle housing and the hubs are flooded with gear oil. That's what lubricates the bearings. No grease for these.
Nothing to say other than YESSSS!!! We are getting rediculously close to seeing this awesome rig on the trail!! 😎 ...and of coarse, more🍿🧈 and some 🥨🧂too!!
Hmmm! Pretzels! 😄
love full floating axles, super strong
The sound of the grease..LOL! I laughed at the slide hammer action too! Wow Hahaa!
I was gonna comment about the added sound affect too 😂 what is this a Tim and Eric Awesome Show skit? 😂
@@FJX2000_Productions Lol! Thank god I wasn’t the only one! Love Ken’s hidden humor!
😄😄😄😄
Looks great Ken. Ken from Oregon.
Ken...I know those bearings use the gear oil in the axle housing for lubrication, but I have found its good the soak them in an oil bath for a couple hours to overnight before install. Metal is slightly porous at the microscopic level and believe it or not, the oil does impregnate the surface a little.
Now that's not to say you won't be fine as is. After all, you're not loading this thing up with a 20K lb skid steer on a 10K lb trailer and doing 80 down the freeway, but...
Err on the side of caution, I say.
With all that nonsense said...great series man. I have been a avid watching subscriber since you began the swap. Look forward to every installment. Good onya🤠👍
Thanks Heath! You're not wrong, but the way I did it is how it is commonly done and how I've done it many times before. As soon as I fill the axle with oil, the bearings will be half submerged in it. And it'll probably sit over night before I drive it. Thanks for following the build!
@@offroadhub.official ford procedure actually calls to pack with a "premium long life grease"
@@lockgessner that's odd. They are bathing in oil from the differential housing. And they are working great.
@@offroadhub.official don't disagree at all but the ford dealer printed the procedure out for me... my guess is they want a bit of initial guaranteed lubrication while oil works its way back out
The proper seal driver for that seal has a groove machined into it so you don’t smash the inner portion of the seal into the housing. Not much different than this but doing it with a standard drive can create problems
Look forward to seeing what your plans are for the brake lines and E-brake
Goodnight on the fiddy dollar seal! 💵
Yeah... Even the guy at Napa was shocked... 😬
Axle is the assembly aka the 10.5 Axle assembly. You were referring to the axle shafts.
Lol, my dogs picked up on the phone tracker app sound.
Oh wow my dogs do the same! 😄
I was # 100! Man I know you left another 14 Min. on the cutting room floor just like seeds you'll find one or two more if you look....Peace
👍☕
Great and all but I did not see you pack the bearing with the proper grease. Hope it was packed with proper grease?
full floating axles are lubricated by the pumpkin gear oil not packed with grease
They are lubricated in an oil bath. 👍
Interesting... I have to learn more about different types of axles. Thanks for the info. As always, enjoyable vids.
No gasket. That -o-ring is the seal.
There's the oring yes, but there's also a gasket with 8 holes in it that goes on the flange.

On that KD 3195 ratchet lock nut / spindle nut socket KD us made was bought out by non us made danaher, then apex and is now under the non us made Gearwrench name. I find old ones on ebay and the new gearwrench ones and they all say for the 10.25 and dana 80 instead of the 10.50 so i dont know how you found that tool but it does work on the sterling 10.5 huh ?
Tool company conglomerations are always changing. Danaher used to own Matco, Craftsman, Gearwrench, KD, and others. I haven't kept track for several years.
As for the tool working on a 10.25/10.5, the hub setup is unchanged, so the same tool works on either. At least within the 99-11 year range for sure, not sure after that.
@@offroadhub.official Matco was the only true made in USA left out of those but is sadly selling china made that if you look can get the same tool for 1/2 price. Sad that matco has sold out. Thanks for the 3195 socket info.
You should have packed the roller bearings with grease.
The bearings are lubricated in an oil bath in this axle. As soon as the housing is filled with oil, the bearings are swimming in oil. 👍
Sorry Ken but Gregory is right. You never put a tapered bearing in dry. It will affect your torque.
@@donnietorrey1703 it wasn't exactly dry. The bearings had oil on them. But you definitely don't pack these with grease, that would contaminate the gear oil in the whole axle.
I hope you greased those new bearings. They looked dry.
They won't be dry once the axle is filled with oil. The ones don't get greased, they bathe in the oil that is in the axle housing.
What’s about the grease for the bearings?
They are lubricated by oil bath in the axle housing instead of grease.
What size is that larger race driver? Having a hard time finding that info out for some reason.
I'll have to look on Monday.
so that seal stuck on the axle is no longer needed with the new seal?
I'm not sure which one you're referring to. I replaced everything that was necessary.
@offroadhub.official the one you said you weren't sure if it was part of the axle then nocked it off
@@offroadhub.officialat 6:23 in the video
@offroadhub.official o nevermind I see now that I bought it its a peice of the old seal
Grease is the word I hear., but I did not see.
I've heard that a lot so far. But, these bearings are lubricated in the oil bath of the axle housing, not with grease. 👍
@@offroadhub.official I agree that the back are lubricated by the axle lubricant but are you absolutely sure with the front? How would lubricant from the front axle housing get out to the hub?
@@robertgoldbecker6689 the entire axle housing and hub is flooded with gear oil. The seals on the hub, inner and outer, are holding the gear oil in the axle housing.
that race set should??... work for a sterling 10.25 race inner and outer??
