    This is exactly how my simple jobs go- all of a sudden I’m like did I get in over my head?…. Nice work and good video

    I try to fix problems with my 89 Dodge van. I am not a mechanic,however I like and understand mechanical things ( just enough to be dangerous ) . I watch these visions because of my limited knowledge of automotive engineering. You are the best teacher. You explain and pay attention to detail. Because of you I can now finish working on my fuel pump. It had been dismantled by a nut and left for junk along with my old ugly van with racing flames. Thank you so much. Your one smart dude, professor!$!

    This is a great video - Thanks to you I just replaced both rear axle bearings on my '99 Cherokee XJ. Trickiest bit was getting the new bearings/seals in - that took some hammering! This is a great guide for someone who hasn't done the job before, and really appreciated - thank you!

    No big deal with the spider gear as long as it's not damaged and it's got it's cupped washer on the back and kept clean...nice job man.

    • @HFG

      Thanks! There weren't any cupped washers installed behind that gear. I'm not an expert or anything, but nothing else was in the case or on the floor 🤷🏽‍♂️

    Video quality was excellent! Great video! Thank you... Later year Cherokee use a different design for wheel bearings that axle retainment, that doesn't use the C-clips on the end... Thet actually use the "bearing assembly" itself, to hold the drive axle in place...

    Great video! Did you notice that the brake adjuster wheel was installed backwards? The lever arm doesn't contact the teeth.

      I sure didn't!! Thanks! I wasn't even paying attention to those. Nice catch 👊🏼👊🏼 looks like I'll be taking it apart again.

    pull the bearing and seal at the same time. no need to do the seal first then the bearing all come out at the same time.

    See my video on this subject. I show how to use the pin to keep the gears from falling out. Also I had a similar vibration so I took my driveshaft and had it Balanced for about 50.00. Completely solved the vibration issue

    • @HFG
      @HFG  2 года назад

      Will do 👍🏼👍🏼 I'll check it out. Probably a great idea to have these shafts checked out. I didn't have the issue until I put the lift on but who knows. Thanks for the tip!

    new subscriber. Did this work out? The gears falling out would scare me. I want to attempt this myself but just want to make sure everything is pretty straight forward for putting it back together ?

    • @HFG
      @HFG  Год назад +2

      Hey! Welcome to the channel. Yup, everything worked out fine and it's been running great ever since. The job isn't too bad, but you do need the puller. The only thing that still bothers me is that the left axle didn't slide in and out smoothly afterwards while installing the C clips. Which probably means that I didn't fully seat the bearing and it's a little cocked in the housing. Not a terrible job though. 👍🏼👍🏼
