I think I would have put a paper towel in the bearing while air hammering in the wheel lugs, lots of debris flying around !

Got some bearing/race PTSD from back in the days replacing front wheel bearings in either myb69 Mustang or 73 charger with just basic tools, I was 16 or 17 broke as all get out and somehow managed to get the job done without messing up seals, bearings, and housing.
I actually enjoyed watching you do the job with proper tools.

Hi Ray i really like your show Thank you
Im a retired cabinet maker. And for 20 years before I retired. I had my own shop with A quite noisy large compressor Also.
Needless to say I built a plywood box and lined the inside with sound deadening board. I built it with the a large front door so I could access everything easily with plenty of ventilation so there was no problem of overheating. Worked very well because it was also outside and that way I could put a nice hasp and padlock on it . Then put a nice quarter moon cut out at the top of the door. In other words it kind of looked like an old outhouse. This
this might work for you. If you have time I know how it is to open your own business.
All all my friends and clients thought it was great
Thanks again for your great show. JF.

Nice to see the Dirty Max receiving some much needed love.

Way way back, when I was 17 (I think) I worked at a family owned garage & fuel/filling station. One day the owner, Mr. T. J. Futch (@ F&J Automotive) took the time to show me how to Grease Pack Bearings. Any kind of bearings & it was so simple, but very necessary to protect them while they do their work. I hope I remember his name correctly because that was 53 years ago. He & hie partner are long gone & the Garage is now a store that I think sells plants & such.

Rock on, Ray! Good to see you servicing your own truck.

[sheerwillsurvival]

Just my 2c ain’t worth much but when I was taught at the GM dealership way back. They told me not to use grease on the gear oiled bearings as it would keep the oil from flowing to the bearings and create dry spots and premature wear . They had us lube them with gear oil and assembled. I am sure times have changed and that red grease is different 👍🏻

This dude besides being a great mechanic, his camera skills and the hability to upload a video daily it's just outstanding 👌

[golfradioman]

I totally LOVE that brake power bleeder. Such a great tool. More people should have their brake systems flushed. Most don't do anything until there is a problem. The fluid deteriorates just like all the other fluids. It had been a long time since I worked on a 3500 differential, the bearing set up brought back memories. Definitely HD! Great to show good maintenance on a truck like yours.

No cardboard boxes were beaten to death in this production. 😇 Good job.

Hello Ray! This episode reminded me of the only time I ever had to press bearings and / or seals. It wasn't boring, it was terrifying! One slip and I ruin $$$$ worth of equipment. And at the time, being young and stupid, and having a master machinist come by and scream about what I did or didn't do every five minutes made the whole process worthy of PTSD. Thanks again Ray for the wonderful video content! And Ray, I have a great day because more often than not YOU made it a great day! 😁😁😁 Thank you!!!

[derekhobbs]

At my previous job, we were constantly reconditioning the same type of hubs, (10 or more at a time) so because we also had in house CNC, my boss had specific press jigs made to make repetitive work much faster.

[asdfxxp]

I knew it! Seeing Ray put off tightening that banjo fitting yesterday made me nervous. At least he caught it before getting on the road. A late win is still a win.

[darrylg]

I always use an empty plastic margarine container to cover the inner bearing when driving the studs back in. Keeps bits of metal out of the new bearings.

[ericmuller]

you actually moved the press to a place where we could see you work, thanks for that! good lighting!! Quite impressive for your diligence to the integrity of your work...

[dannylinc]

At the chev garage, in the old days, we used to jack up each end of the rear axle housing during the filling procedure.
It saves time, really.
It prevents bearing failure.
Our shop foreman/team leader would ask us to do these things and speed us up.

I am so glad you got your Chitvolet Fixed that was amazing..

[michaellicitra]

Brake pad "bedding". Burnishing it is not - Bedding a new set of pads is very important and you explained it well but the mechanism being employed is transfer of brake material from the brake pad to the rotor and not burnishing. The friction developed on the rotor is the result of the friction developed between the pad material and the deposited pad material on the rotot. The underlying cast iron that the rotor is made from is the supporting structure for the deposited pad material.
Probably the most important feature of doing this as you emphasized is not stopping the vehicle during the process when the pads/rotor is hot. If ther rotor ia allowed to stop while hot the pad material may stick to the rotor surface and result in an uneven distribution of brake pad material and resulting pulsation in brake effectiveness.

After an emergency stop it is sometimes necessary to re-bed the brake pads to even out the pad material in the event of such emergency use to regain operational smoothness.

I am am truly in awe to see that we now have an amazing tool such as a ratcheting line wrench!!! Got to be at least one of the greatest inventions known to man.😮😊

Tremendo trabajo, no hay muchos mecánicos que lo hacen tan bien. Lo mejor de lo mejor
