D-Rays bearing videos are the most comprehensive with no BS. Don't waste your time watching any others, these are the only ones you'll need! Thanks, D-Ray!

That was THE CLEANEST bearing replacement I have ever seen!! Nice job!

[DanA-ixms]

Best bearing replacement tutorial out there hands down.

[avaldes]

Thanks for showing all of the details. I guess it would be wise to have a prepacked replacement hum as a spare if I need to do a middle of nowhere fix.

I was taught the same palm pack process when i was 14 when i was assisting on annual aircraft inspections. its good to see the old ways still being taught today. Nice Going D-Ray

It's been 8 years (only used the boat for 4 seasons though). Time for new tires and new bearings! I really don't want any nasty roadside surprises. Great refresher, thanks!

D-Ray, like so many have said already: great tutorial! You covered all the steps, even the little tips that make a big difference down the road, and explained everything. Thank you!

With your help, I got my trailer fixed and saved my weekend boat trip.

I could listen to you all day Long! Getting ready to fully restore a trailer for a whitewater dory I'm going to build. The trailer is one my Dad used in the 1960s for the first boat he built. Going to be a special project! Thanks for the lesson.

Great video series! I really liked you showing how to remove and replace the bearing races. Also liked the old-school bearing packing method. That's the same way I was taught in high school years and years ago. Thanks again!!

Sir, you are the best, learned so much more, now I see the advancement in HUB for boats, was going to buy a used boat and trailer, and the scariest part was when I saw the hub missing covers etc and told easy to get. I ran away and still looking for a boat. I will get one and using your video will know how to really go about inspecting it. THANK YOU. JP Malette, Calgary Alberta, 3 Jan 2016

One of the best how-to's I've seen! Thanks...

I have a boat trailer that I converted to a combo flat bed- utility trailer & can easily convert back to a boat trailer. I usually take it off the road after December, plate expires then plus the snow & try to get my maintenance done before I put it back on. I have packed bearings before but did not have to change the race. Your video has very clear directions, is easy to follow & enjoyable to watch. Even if one never pulled a wheel off before he or she should be able to do this after watching. Stay well, Joe Z

Fantastic video. No BS, just a smart man helping others! Cheers

At first glance, this guy may not look like the most knowledgeable guy, but don't judge a book by its cover. This guy knows what he is talking about and I am glad I watched his videos. Great tutorial!

[jamesbb]

You know a how to video was put together and explained well when it’s 6 years old and still getting great comments. Glad I found it! Just bought my bearing kits today and replacing them in the morning. Excellent video. Thanks D-Ray! FISH ON!

P.S. I’m pretty sure the dislikes were guys/ or gals who didn’t get to go fishing because they watched the wrong how to video.

Well done! Photography, sound, technique-- everything. I also appreciate the good vocabulary while describing the tools, parts, and procedures.

[jonpemberton]

D-Ray well done sir. Im a jack of all trades master of none sorta speak. I just redid all my bearings and brakes today. I was youtubing bearings and found a BUNCH of jack legs not explaining thing and not doing it properly. I watched Pt 1 and Pt 2 and like i said before well done sir, well done.

I've packed and replaced a million bearings in my day, but it's always good to refresh the memory when you ain't done it in a while. That tip about removing that little burr before putting the hub back on was a great tip for me. I have an old Roadrunner dual axle trailer that crapped out an inner bearing on me this weekend, and it made that little burr. I'd never seen it do that before, so I thought it was some kind of lip or flare from the factory, . Thanks, brother !!

[nelsonfernandez]

Mister you would make a hell of a teacher, hands down the best video out there, thank you, you are truly old school
