Great video. That’s how I pack bearings, too. When I see it come through the other side, I feel like it’s good. Great job explaining all the important points on not hitting the races too hard, and going in a circle. 🤙🏽
Great tutorial, thanks. Do you use anything to clean the bearings, or just wipe them clean with paper towels? Same for the other parts, just wipe clean or do you use a cleaner?
After loosening the lug nuts you take the wheel off and then what happened to the studs? They are missing but you don’t show removing them. It might sound like a stupid question but I will be doing this for the first time ever and I don’t want to mess up my wheels.
I see what you're looking at. I wasn't on backwards though. I took care of that issue with tightening. That wasn't seen because I had to change sides from the camera dying. I've done over 5,000 miles since doing this. I'll be doing it again soon and I'll try to do a better video.
Great video! I will be doing my trailer bearings soon! The hub assembly was re-installed backwards. Does the bent axle tube cause any problems? Thank you!
I'm trying to take the wheel off of a popup camper instead of lug nuts it has lug bolts that won't turn I've tried everything can't break them loose is there a trick I'm not aware of
Camera is too far away at the end. Cant see or hear parts. Did you grease the outside of the grease seal and polish the spindle before mounting the hub?
Thanks for the tutorial and video. I probably was recommended this since I was looking up utility trailer bearing videos as I am thinking about building a project tiny camper. If you dont mind my asking - what model popup is that? Growing up in the early 90s I have fond memories of my family going camping in a Starcraft popup from the 70s with that tan and brown color scheme that we used to tow all over the place with this green blue plymouth volare wagon. Then around 98 we upgraded to a new coleman popup and a buick roadmaster - both of which took care of were used by the family and my parents for camping trips till 2014. Edit- sorry plugged in my earphones and rewatched again; and was able to hear you say it was an 86 Jayco.
I’ll have to look at what you’re seeing. The bearings are tapered and only go in one way. I just finished over 4,000 miles in the last 17 days with it. I’ll probably be doing them again soon.
@@TheRoamingDad at about 4 minutes you can see where the wheel bolts to the hub. It is flat so that the whole wheel comes in contact with the hub. At about 10 minutes you are putting it back together and the hub seeks to be flipped front to back. When the wheel bolts to the hub it will only contact on the raised ridges where the bolts go through. It seems you installed the cleaned seal where the dust cap was. Check the orientation at 4 and 10 minutes. I ask because I just repacked my bearings an helped a friend do his. Mine were installed with the ridges out and his were ridges in.
This type of info is in the owners manual/and or on-line. I have seen different recommendations, depends on usage and conditions of the type of roads/trails encountered!

Thanks 👍
Thank you for this video. I'm about to do this on my 86 Jayco pop-up also.👍👍
Go for it!
Thank you so much for this! You just took the fear out of re-packing my new trailer’s wheel bearings..
Glad I could help!
Great video. Your wheel appears warped when turning. Thanks for making the video
Great tutorial, but you got some MAJOR wheel wobble at 13:00. Might wanna check that out!
Bent wheel. P.S. The wheels and tires should be balanced as well!!!
Thanks for the video tutorial. I'll be attempting to work on my pop up later this month.
How did things go?
Thank you, you’re a good teacher.
I appreciate that!
Thank you for this. I will be doing mine in a couple of days.
good video, very thorough. Much appreciated.
Thanks
Good video. I would add check your make and model specs and use a torque wrench.
I tighten the axle nut until the hub barely turns to seat the bearings. then back the nut loose and then finger tight.
Just don’t over tighten
Great tutorial, thanks. Do you use anything to clean the bearings, or just wipe them clean with paper towels? Same for the other parts, just wipe clean or do you use a cleaner?
I just wipe everything clean with paper towels.
Thank you, very helpful.
Well done good sir
Thank you for watching
Very helpful thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.

Studs were never removed.
wheels bent or something when you turn it the whole thing is wobbling you need to fix that!
Was a camera issue
DUDE! you put the hub backwards. Maybe the reason you got a wobble.
Got the idea how to do it now, thanks.

No. Camera died and had to mesh sides in the video
thanks, it was helpful.

Never had any issues. Could be where the video cut off and had to be spliced in from the other side.
I'm trying to take the wheel off of a popup camper instead of lug nuts it has lug bolts that won't turn I've tried everything can't break them loose is there a trick I'm not aware of
I used the T-9 spray. Works wonders!
Heat them up.
Great video
Thank you
Do you pack the hub with grease or just the barring
Just the bearing
How did you clean them? You mentioned half a dozen times to clean them but the entire step was skipped over right to repacking with new.
Just wipe all the excess grease off the bearings with paper towels. Get all the junk off.
7:30 min mark, what if there were gouges or marks on the metal, then what would you do?
Not an expert but I think at that point may need to consider replacing the bearings, rather than just cleaning and repacking?
Camera died. I had to blend sides
Camera is too far away at the end. Cant see or hear parts. Did you grease the outside of the grease seal and polish the spindle before mounting the hub?
Just the hub

1986
Is there a backwards/forwards on that housing. Looks like you took it off but installed it backwards.
I’ll have to look at what you’re seeing. The bearings are tapered and only go in one way. I just finished over 4,000 miles in the last 17 days with it. I’ll probably be doing them again soon.

I isolated the picture of the hub and enlarged the photo and the hub is infact on bacwards. That's why the wheel has so much runout.
So I replaced mine but when I put the grease in I pushed it in by finger until it went all through is that fine?
I would say so. The main thing is to make sure you get it thoroughly greased all the way through.
How often should this be done?
I keep mine done roughly every 5,000 miles or at the beginning of each season.

My dust cover is not coming off that easily?!!@#
Maybe a little extra love needed.
Couldn't see how you put the bearing back on. Which side goes into the assembly? What did you clean the bearing with before repacking?
super confusing, doesn't the seal go on the outside?
Back on in exact reverse
👍

You're rim is bent
It wasn’t.
