Nik from bad obession motorsport has mentioned this being one of his pet peeves, really expensive bearing, coilovers, alloy wheels capped with the cheapest set of Ditchfinder tires to totally negate any benefit from all of the above.
A trick on a stuck race like that. Just weld a little on the face on one side. It will heat it up and shrink the other side and make it very very easy to pull out
Yup, that works just about all of the time. A stuck outer race WILL shrink when you lay a bead on the ball groove with a welder. Either stick or wire feed will work, sparkle a quarter inch of bead in 2 spots, she'll almost fall out. Done that for years as a mechanic. Sure, cutting a groove out with a flame wrench works too, but, is messy. (fire and stuff)
Juanita fits the ol' girl perfectly. The word, gentle, and old truck don't belong together. Love you, God bless, David.💖 p.s. God has put you in my prayers, trust Him, and everything will turn out good.
Friend Andy, Please tell me I am wrong and should know better BUT no matter how closely I looked for a jack stand or anything to take a stand's place except maybe a 5 gallon plastic pail when you were underneath Juanita or yanking the crap out of the bearing and race. I would be beyond sad at losing you and your channel's content but not nearly as much as your family would be. Keep it funky, my fellow bohemian.
I don't know much about cars or trucks or how to work on them, but I sure do love how you do a play by play of how to work on them, for those that do work on them. Juanita fits her, I think, too. Hopefully, she does a good job for you. I guess we'll see. Good job, Andy. God bless.😊❤
Can't wait for the update on Stacey! The video about the old farmer tricks, and the ones where you put the plow on her was my introduction to your channel. To many years of reliable service from Juanita! 🍻
I hate to be that guy but the reason they're called 12 bolt axles is because there are 12 bolts holding the ring gear to the differential. Great video as always, Andy.
I just did this on my truck. Had a bent axle. Guess you shouldn't haul 1 ton of dirt in a half ton truck. Replaced the axle and bearings and seals on both sides as long as I got the pinion out figured I would do both sides. Next is u joints.
Andy i know safety is 3rd, but please use something other than just a jack to hold the truck up. Axle stands, wood whatever just a jack is really asking for trouble!!
For sure. Except wood. At least, not 2x4s. My h.s. autoshop got a V8 'cause the previous owner was under his car when the stack of 2x4s toppled, crushing him.
@SpaceAgeCastaway guy who lived across the road from the me, died when his jack failed and crushed him about 5 years ago. He worked on cars every weekend since those houses were built 25 years ago, his time was up and that Jack failed, blew a seal and came down on him.
Love the videos. Especially when I can see what the shop does to repair worn out parts on my SUVs. I gave up doing my own repairs & maintenance when they put computers in cars. Love that electric motor, thats my kind of motor!🤣
Sweet old truck for sure. Only thing I can say is I love watching your videos and enjoy them so I’m going to say I would really like to continue watching your content if you would throw a crib block or anything under that axle. Lost some good people who trusted their life to an o-ring. Keep up the good work my friend!
I'll keep my eyes peeled for it on the road. If you see a white 02 Tundra or a brown 14 Chevy being driven by a guy that's waving like an idiot, that's me lol. Keep up the good work!
Also, if you're interested in any cedar logs for your mill, let me know. I have a cedar job in Atlanta and I live in Gaylord. I could probably give you a pretty good deal on some this winter, when I get back into the woods
I like that truck, Wish I had more truck fixing skills.I sorta wish you had a stump under that frame and not just a jack. The last 10 sec was worth the wait.🤣🤣🤣🤣
So I’m my experience I’ve always taped the race in with out the bearing in it first to get it seated then grease the bearing and insert it but I was also watching time lapse could be not seeing it all lol
You got me all upset Andy. I never knew I could have put cheap electrons in the fuel tank of my '76 Chevy 3/4 ton with the 350 electric engine. Can I sue GM for not putting that in the owner's manual? I would trust you to give legal advice on this thought to help a distraught soul.
“ $2000 rims running some Long Longs” 😂😂😂😂

Ol boy gonna have a plow truck for each of the kids to drive lol
yeah.
Homestead Snow Removal.
A Family Buisness
Its his buisness plan.
I think that box and rack look great on that truck. Plow truck and fire wood truck all in one.

YES!!! Juanita. I can’t believe you with my name suggestion
You look ALOT healthier than when I used to watch you when you first started this channel. That's always good!
You're the only content creator that i automatically hit the like button before I even watch the video. 😆
Keep it up Andy, we appreciate it!!! 🙏
Me 2
Yep... but there is another one for me, Derek Bieri gets an automatic like from me too... but Andy is my fave
Me 3😊
Andy I wish I was your neighbor. Been watching you on Facebook for years. Hope ole girl does the job for ya.
I had a 1968 ford f250 that I got for free in front of a church and after fixing the front axle it was the best plow truck I ever had
Juanita fits the ol' girl perfectly. The word, gentle, and old truck don't belong together. Love you, God bless, David.💖
p.s. God has put you in my prayers, trust Him, and everything will turn out good.
A little piece of Pex cut and slipped over the door latch pin will make those doors close way easier 👍
Friend Andy,

Keep it funky, my fellow bohemian.
She's beautiful!! I like the old square body style!
i had one of those in 1992, automatic with no reverse and drank 1 qt. of oil every 500 miles. full time 4x4 6mpg. it was a beast.
My 81 c3500 has the same mpg. BEST I can get is 10 while cruising.
4.56

Love seeing you over here and on Facebook. Hope they leave you alone and that you make some money from them. Best of luck man.
IDK what you are talking about, your install was flawless.
coming from a 15 year hobby mechanic.
Nice mate 👌 I reckon leave the ladder rack, put tin or something in it so you can keep all your gear dry over winter, tools n stuff.
Can't wait for the update on Stacey! The video about the old farmer tricks, and the ones where you put the plow on her was my introduction to your channel.
To many years of reliable service from Juanita! 🍻
Well done sir, thanks for the lesson and laughs. God bless
Can't wait to see what's next
Sounds like something my hubby would do! Nice looking truck!
I hate to be that guy but the reason they're called 12 bolt axles is because there are 12 bolts holding the ring gear to the differential. Great video as always, Andy.
That HF puller is the vain of my existence 😂
Hey Andy! I hope youre ready for that northern Michigan winter brother, Lord knows it's coming quick! God bless, stay safe out there.

Ready for that Stacy bit
J.I.T. capital investment.
Ol' Sam Walton would be proud. You got a plow truck just as the flurries flew.
We always used a socket to drive bearings
I must have missed something. What happened to Mary the Ford? I can't help but think 4k would have fixed any issues, heck even made it street legal.
Great work truck for shure.
Sweet old truck for sure. Only thing I can say is I love watching your videos and enjoy them so I’m going to say I would really like to continue watching your content if you would throw a crib block or anything under that axle. Lost some good people who trusted their life to an o-ring. Keep up the good work my friend!
If you took apart all of Andy's trucks, you might have enough parts to make one working truck!
Nice plow truck Andy. A 45 year old, sounds about right for the plowing you do! As always I love you and you still need a Skid Steer!
❤ them old Squarebodys
I love Juanita!
See that fkn snow!
Ya
That’s why I moved to Arkansas 🤠🤠🤠
Good stuff, man!
I'll keep my eyes peeled for it on the road. If you see a white 02 Tundra or a brown 14 Chevy being driven by a guy that's waving like an idiot, that's me lol. Keep up the good work!

Man, makes me wanna work on my squarebody.
I love everything about this!! Maybe, just maybe, when I get my Mustang, I’ll be able to work on her!
Quick tip for bearings. You can weld the old bearing to shrink it out. Nice Ute btw
I like that truck, Wish I had more truck fixing skills.I sorta wish you had a stump under that frame and not just a jack. The last 10 sec was worth the wait.🤣🤣🤣🤣
You WHAT? You used a new gasket instead of RTV silicone? Oh Andy, ya disappointed me. (I'm kidding. Love you and your vids)
Great video!
Have a 78 ford just waiting for. Most reliable rig on the farm. Also. Dont heat the race, heat around it.
Thank You !!!
Good to know that technology has finally come to design a V8 electric engine! I want one
Should have been Sheneda . Sheneda set of tire, brakes, wheel bearing, etc etc etc.😆😆😆
So I’m my experience I’ve always taped the race in with out the bearing in it first to get it seated then grease the bearing and insert it but I was also watching time lapse could be not seeing it all lol
Nothing like driving an old square body
If you’re got a bearing race that you can’t move run a bead of weld along it it shrinks and comes out a bit easier!
Nice truck
Love the video!
NC boy knows!!
You can typically rent the proper pullers from an auto parts store. They refund you 100 percent when they are returned
You used bearing drivers, the correct tool for the job. -5 points for Griffendor!
What happened to the red fox farm truck? Lol
Jackstands!
Love the truck
I would have redone both bearings since I already had it all taken the other
Bearings are not injectors. Replace them as they fail, no need to replace both sides at the same time (unless they have both failed obviously)
You starting your own pull a part lot? 🤣🤣
When tracked snow truck?
Awe yeah!
I hope you catch a break soon and make your millions…. You need a good working truck in Michigan
Did you pack the bearing with grease before pressing it in the tube?
Weld a bead on the the race and it'll contract. Helps get them out
Did you add oil back into the rear differential?
❤❤❤
Nice.
Heck yeah andy
How many $4,000 trucks does it take to equal one reliable running truck?
What happened to the truck you previously installed a plow on?
When do we drive it into a pole? Will the plow save us? Lol
Sad to see the Ram Dually in that condition.
What happened to the 7.3?
When ya need ya Homestead fix so ya go watch a 12 day old video... 😊...
Truck 5? If I’m counting right..
I still say you should have named it Stacy's mom😂
She got it going on.
DEBBIE. DEBBIE. DEBBIE. DEBBIE. … please fix her.
Wasn't that diesel Ford a plow truck?
Andy are you no longer on Facebook?
You're fixing a truck BEFORE it breaks down on the side of the road? I didn't even know that was an option
You got me all upset Andy. I never knew I could have put cheap electrons in the fuel tank of my '76 Chevy 3/4 ton with the 350 electric engine. Can I sue GM for not putting that in the owner's manual? I would trust you to give legal advice on this thought to help a distraught soul.
when did the youtube channel pop up?
Facebook hasnt posted anything on you in a long while
Weld a bead on the race next time.
Just as I made al pastor tacos
4K? Kidding right?
Can't be stuck if it's liquid 😅
gotta slam doors on every chevy, it's normal.
The body on the k15 and the k5 / k1500 are all the same body and
Q Are you tapping your maple trees this year?
ling longs lol!!!
