This guy is an obvious pro... But I'd recommend an inch torque to check the preload before and then using that inch torque when going back on, maybe adding five extra inch pounds for drag. He obviously doesn't need to, just saying for those of us who aren't that experience.
Great video that is still helping people 4 years later but you say that the outer pinion bearing is an interference fit. I was hoping to take out the outer pinion bearing on my 8.8 rear end (94 Lincoln Town car) and inspect it for pitting after removing the seal. There is one other video on youtube that shows the guy simply removing the bearing with a pick or the blade of a knife (no real effort) on a Ford F150. I guess some of the 8.8 rear ends might be slightly different. Thanks, if you can respond.
Mat makes it look easy FYI wrenching is tough , but I bust tires mostly but the mechanic at my shop let’s me swap parts when he’s busy so my point is experience is key! Ps love this channel
Is it just me? Or did anyone else notice the “play” between the pinion flange and wheel movement? Go back to minute 2:00. Seems like there was too much free play.
There is pinion to ring gear, pin to carrier, spider gear to carrier pin and spider gear spline to axle spline play. Add all that together and you have to turn the yoke quite a few degrees to get wheel movement. Plus it will be amplified the higher the mileage 🙂
The outer bearing has a slight interference fit on the pinion shaft and in most cases can't be separated unless the pinion gear is smacked out. So if the rear end isn't making noise then I don't inspect.
using a kent-moore tool on a ford, rotunda is gonna be mad.....lol, and mark, well mark is one heck of a guy, i consult him allot, everyone should, good video RCW,
Yea, Mark has never let me down. It's Murphy you have to watch out for, seems like he's always around. Karma can be a real jerk sometimes. Haven't seen it yet but was told the main shop has a new "powertrain lift" for the mustang mach-e batteries. Ford makes dealers buy it before they can sell them. Think it's a big scissor lift with a table on top. I suspect rotunda makes that also or is the middleman.
@@raincitywrench117 we have one of those lifts at my Chevy dealership, had to have it for doing the battery packs in our Volt's, also makes life easier when you're dropping complete cradle, engine and transmission assemblies all at once
No. Can't remember the last time I have been on facebook. Turned all my notifications off. I dedicate all my time to TH-cam. Just may get on and check it out this week. Thanks for the tip
man you can service my vehicle any day. shame all mechanics don't work with such skill...thumbs up!! it's a pleasure to watch you work...
Those are kind words. Thanks for watching!

How's it going Ro Ro? Been a while. Keep grinding away & someday you will be the guy with all the experience.
Thank you for sharing your video. Very helpful! 👍
Learned a lot, good job
Good quality work 👍
Great Video

I would still use an inch pound to get a reading to compare
Very very good video,mmechanic told me its a four hour job! BS eh?
Why not pull out slinger and bearing inspect for pitting

@@kevinavery2518 Yep, same here. The dealer has an otc scissor lift but I think this new one is the size of a pool table.
@@raincitywrench117 dayum.....lol
