Thank you! Finally, a real mechanic!! I've pounded outer races in and out of the hubs on my 1961 Greyhound bus with a chisel just like you did here. Everyone says you have to have a press. I'm sure glad your's wasn't working for this video. Now I'm going to back what I learned years ago. Thanks for a good instructional video.
That's what they just sold me at O'Reilly's too I was wondering the same damn thing cuz I was looking for tapered too. it says tapered on the national but they're flat as can be
I did thos job on a 2001 cherokee. Dana 35. Afterwards I noticed that the axle has some play, in and out. Is that a bad axle retainer? Is it OK to have a little play? It's about 1/16 inch or less
@@Mr383chevyboy I normally press them off and on, but not everyone has a press in their garage like we do at the auto repair shop. I was showing that it can be done.
Inferior OEM parts that did not hold up very well....Chinese bearings and seals from the factory! Who makes these corporate decisions to save a few pennies on parts, and cause all the pain to the consumer in the future?

I'm old school. I appreciate the feedback.
I'm so surprised to see you using hand tools when everybody else has to have a press you make it look easy
Many people don't have a press or a shop full of tools. I wanted to show how it's done with a basic set of tools
Explain how a dana 35 or 44a aka 44hd use tapered wheel bearings, I have both in my yard and they use the cheap axle wear out flat rollers
I'm not sure what you are asking.

It's not uncommon, but that could be a sign of other worn components. Not ideal for bearings longevity either. Good luck.
Id rather press them on way faster and not gonna chew the bearing or retainer up

Great job, maybe i can get the time to do this on mine

I'm not sure what you are getting at. I hope the video helped you with your project though
This video REALLY helped me out, I didnt have a press. Thanks
Excellent.
