So i noticed the procedure for setting the bearing nut was not mentioned . Also I am working on a GMC c5500 with a 13,500 pound rear axle and those rotors have only 6 of those T-70 Torx head bolts holding the rotor to the hub . The hardest thing so far about my project was finding the torque procedure for those wheel bearing nuts . “ initial torque of 77 ft lbs while rotating the hub , Back off nut 90 degrees then retorque to 18 ft lbs . There are 3 known different axles used on this series of truck and as of this video at least 2 different hub and rotor combinations …..
@@tonygtv1976 ok cool. Quite a setup. I'm working on my c4500 (brakes and hubs) and wondered what that was. Appreciate the response. Your video has been very helpful.
Awesome video...thank you for doing it! When you slide the axle shaft out, do you have to pay particular attention to alignment of the axle shaft or do you simply take it out and then slide it back in when finished?
Would have been much better had it shown the job in progress, not after it is done...it never goes as easy as just “loosen this bolt and take it apart”..would like to have seen the parking brake connection....
Park brake connection should be either a line locker or on the driveshaft behind the trans if im wrong im wrong but most from what i seen on bigger c trucks
Thanks for the video Tony I was fighting the rear axle and didn't realize how to get those tapered collars out, you helped me a ton

Great comment.
You sound more knowledgeable...
Thinking of making tutorials?
It would help further to tell the torque specs on all those bolts.
Thank you for sharing.
I used NETA torque values based on bolt size
Great video, this will help me a lot, i have to do the ssme thing real soon. Thank You!!!
1:14 what is that? Air for parking brake??? Mine doesn't have that thing.
@@tonygtv1976 no no... it's the thing attached directly above the axle... right above the u bolts.

Where did you get your airbag suspension kit from?
Did you have to replace any seals, bearings, or gaskets? I have to replace the rear rotors on mine. Thanks
@@tonygtv1976 Awesome Thank You

The park brake on this truck is a drum and shoe inside rear discs..
The park brake on c6500 are on the drum on back of transmission i have one
