Great video, I think I'll hire this one out. One guy quoted me 1100 bucks for this job and now I'm thinking that he's being pretty reasonable. Thanks again. This video gives me the option to tackle the job myself and gives me the education to not get ripped off by a shop.
This is a pain in the ass. I just swap another same differential on my truck and is back in the road again. Sometimes swaping a differential from junk yard is cheaper. Good video 👍
excellent video, the hardest thing would be to find a mechanic as meticulous as you to fix that problem, if they weren't the problem would reappear soon...thanks
I'm just replacing the seal in a 95 8.8. The new flange and dust cover have a small space between the seal about 3 mm gap. I have some play in the flange. Could this small amount of gap cause abut .5" play and the truck drag when shifting like it I slow going into gear once clutch is let off. The parts fell out in my hand so I had no original anything to go by. I need some help lol. Tried more and less torque on the pinion nut. Runs smooth for a few hours then drags. Maybe I ruined rhe crush sleeve. I used a ratchet not a gun.
The newer 8.8s are super 8.8's. The bearings are larger, and the crush sleeve is taller and much harder to collapse. Not just a good impact is needed. A lot of muscle. You'll get irritated and tired changing the bearings on a super 8.8 with electronic locker.
The video is good enjoyed it. But the sound man y’all need somebody to even that out. Listening to it n the trk and the video needs 15 volume an the music in between segments a 2 so it blows u away every time
Wouldn't it be easier and cleaner to install the pinion flange after the pinion seal, slinger, outer pinion bearing and race and then insert the pinion bearing through the pinion flange so you don't have to hammer at everything? You really need to verify preload correctly so mentioning the best way to do it without actually doing it and showing it isn't good enough. No U-Joint check? No pinion depth check? No cleaning of rust from the flange yoke and pinion flange before reinstalling the driveshaft? No grease in the slip yoke to prevent bump and knocking?
I had a similar situation where I needed to get the inner race out of a wheel hub and no mechanics would take it out for me i was like wtf but yeah I ended up just cutting it like this guy
+Justin Leake Thanks for checking us out! If you would like to confirm the year make and model of your vehicle we can see if we offer the inner bearing and race for your application.
Being that this video was 4 years ago You should of stopped at the point where the inner race was exposed and you could of explained of the damaged - what would cause this damage - and possibly what the sound would be at that point in time. As with most of your video's they are good but like this one but explaining what the result and what might have caused it in the first place, The reason I say this is that repairs of this kind are very time consuming and expensive in repair shop for labor.

As always another great How To: by 1A Auto. Thanks guys.

Unless it's another junk differential that wasn't taken care of.
GREAT VIDEO...how long should this repair take?
Great video the shop wanted $1300 so I did it myself and saved
Great video! Explains it perfectly.
Thank you for the vid. Watched another one you guys did on this subject and it was horrible. This one is great!
Excellent video, thank you for making it.

@@1AAutowhat’s the reason for change those bearings?
very professional and no cussing +++++++
+Howard Murden Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Brilliant tutorial. Many thanks.
Did the new pinion throw everything off. This is the first time I’ve seen things not go back together using the factory shims and working.
Hello, its possible to replace a outer bearing without disassemblingthe rear end? Thanks
What was going on with the truck that led to the conclusion of a bad pinion?
excellent video, the hardest thing would be to find a mechanic as meticulous as you to fix that problem, if they weren't the problem would reappear soon...thanks
You are awesome brother
to have a shop do this what would I expect to see for billable labor time?
One shop told me 6 hours at $80 an hour. Cleanly he did it in much less than 6 hrs. (another shop told me 7 hrs at $145/hr)
Great explanation 🤔

Do you do a 2007 F150 the same way or did it change in 2009...Your videos are great!! Thanks
Great video nice work
What is the quoted time to do this job. Change out the Pinion bearing?
AllData says 7+ hours
What’s the ring gear size on that inner pinion bearing
No way am I taking that thing back out and pulling off the bearing to adjust a few thou
What size original pinion?
The newer 8.8s are super 8.8's. The bearings are larger, and the crush sleeve is taller and much harder to collapse. Not just a good impact is needed. A lot of muscle. You'll get irritated and tired changing the bearings on a super 8.8 with electronic locker.
where do you get the specs for all the bolts and torque?
Really helpful! Thanks!
Didn't explain or show how you set up dial indicator?
Whoa, definitely not for the faint of heart 😲
Is that blue loctite?
What was wrong with the old stuff? What was the customer complaints?
Could be a growling or humming noise coming from rear differential area, pinion seal leaking, driveline vibrations.
I remember my first day with a grinder
Amazing
The video is good enjoyed it.

+chuckeady1 Thanks for the feedback! We'll pass this info along to our production team.

Once I get my pinion out, could I just take it to an auto mechanic and have them remove it and install a new one?
Any transmission shop will have the proper press and adapters.

What's the part number of the inner bearing and race
+Justin Leake Thanks for checking us out! If you would like to confirm the year make and model of your vehicle we can see if we offer the inner bearing and race for your application.
So in short, get a shop to do it.
Unacceptable not to use the proper inch pound torque on the pinion ! My diff was rebuilt when someone "went by feel"... disliking this video
+Jamie Pavot Thanks for the feedback!
Someone take up a collection to get him an air impact.
When the commercials come on they are at double the volume of the rest of the video - shocking - and makes me not want to watch...
+Jamie Pavot Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.

awesome info but please, next time turn up the speaking volume, turn down the air tool volume and shut off the background music.

Ok that's a job

Hate background music on instructional videos
The music is too much!
how did my man get 8 thousandths on backlash i saw the gauge reading between 9 and 10 tick marks
No bueno 😐
Why is this guy using hand tools 😂
