Thank you for this awesome video. My bearing must have siezed on my 96 f250 and blew out the hanger bracket. Got a OEM ford bearing and bracket for $52 out the door. Grinder and Budweisers were my best friend on this project. Ole bessy rides again! Easy job besides fighting to get that old bearing off without damaging the shaft. I cut the bolts and clamps right off the old bracket. Didnt even bother trying to wrench. Everything is impossible to budge here in the northeast unless you replace yourself and coat with pot15 and anti-sieze. Easier to cut off and get new ones. Thanks again man! Wish i could buy you a beer!

Thanks for the video ! Just started changing all SIX of the U-Joints and 2 Carrier Bearings on my 1998 E350 25 Pass Shuttle Bus. What a freaking job. I stopped tonight on it to find out how to get the carrier bearing back on. Your video helped big time with the pipe fitting. I think I got one of those or a piece of pipe to fit around the ranch here...somewhere. Thanks Again. My bus is a 98 w/ 7.3. I also have a 95 & a 97 F350 trucks. They both got the 7.3 in them. I did a decent vid on how to quiet them down by changing the oil in the HPOP reservoir. Seems the tank likes to get clogged. Another old ranch trick to get the most miles out of any engine is to place a big strong magnet on bottom of oil pan. No metal goes through engine. I got 400K miles on my 1995. Still going strong. Good luck !!

Thanks for the video, I have to replace the carrier bearing on my 04 F350 this week. I wasn't looking forward to it but your video put me at ease.

Great video. I have a 2001 that I'm about to fix. I think I'll take care of the u-joints too while I'm at it.

[ktpowerwashing]

Great video! Will be attempting this repair in the am.
2000 F250 7.3 with 418, 000 miles Still going Strong! I see why the manufacturers stopped producing this engine. Lol. Not enough business for their repair guys.

dude this was the best explanation on youtube, cheers and great OBS!

[JeremyKonzJames]

Glad you got it on and did it yourself but after watching you I think I'll take my 85 to a drive shaft repair place.

This video was hilarious to me I'm not sure if I'm the only one but I like his persistence. 😀

[RELOADINGandSHOOTING]

Geeezzz… a lot more work than I thought! Glad I’ve seen your video!

A piece of 2.5 inch schedule 40 pipe puts it on without damage. I used the timken bearing so it might be different for others.

I have the same truck and doing that job right now, thanks for the help

[christiansotterley]

Use a jackstand to hold the driveshaft close to where u have to go.

[christiansotterley]

Hey I just did this on my truck and I have a few tips. I only cut through the bearing in two spots and got it down so there was just the races pressed onto the spindle. I then heat it up the races and they scooted right off with a chisel without nicking the the drive shaft. I used a jack when I lowered it and again when I put it back on I used the Jak 2 get the bearing up to bolt it up

Use your cutoff wheel to make a diagonal cut most of the way through the inner race , then use a cold chisel to crack it . Then it will slide off . Just did one on a class 8 this morning .

Great video! This is what I am doing tomorrow

[Doug_Narby]

good vid. air chisel is a good friend for jobs like this. for removal. using it on installation not so much

[danielholtzapple]

I did pretty much the same but I had a pipe that extended past the splines and I put a cap on that pipe. So when I tapped on it it did very little to no damage. No I have a tool to install carrier bearings. Picked it up at lowes. Had to grind down the threads on the one side with my bench grinder but that was easy.

Speaking from experience, go easy with that torch, you can warp the driveshaft. Then a week later you’re laying in a muddy junkyard pulling a good driveshaft off an old pickup because the one you have shakes like hell.
