Replacing axle bearing and seal on a GM 10 bolt 7.5 inch differential

This is just 1 part of repairing a GM 10 bolt 7.5 inch differential. The spider gears or mini spool needs to be partly disassembled and C clips need to be removed in order to get the axles out. Then you can replace the axle bearings and seals.

Can't get any easier than that, simple and direct without a word said .
nice job thank you

[@jerryturensky]

You're welcome!

@@joepawlu9523 I found the part numbers in Rock Auto, sorry I don't have the part numbers, it was a long time ago.

[@nonyadamnbusiness9887]

You left out the part where you have to buy a kit to extract the broken retaining screw in the differential cross shaft before you can pull the C-clip and pull the axle. Nice video of the last steps. Doing it right with proper driving tools.

[@willmills1370]

Yup, mine broke too. Got the extractor kit from Summit Racing. Yukon Gear and Axle makes it but doesn't sell it to the public. I watched CVSahara his video on TH-cam on replacing that dam Pinion Retaining bolt, I bought two more from Autoplicity for my '79 Trans Am, it came in yesterday. Ain't got nothing else to do with this COVID 19 lock down.

Like your quick to the point video, having to do the same on 2000 blazer, glad to see you put wheel bearing grease to lube the bearing another video use lucas, but wheel bearing grease is the way.

[@dtuck0509]

Straight to the point, great video.

[@jerryturensky]

Thanks

[@dang_industries]

Great video! Easy job but I came here to confirm how deep the seal should end up (looks about 1/8” past flush)

[@jerryturensky]

I pressed it in til it stopped

[@MrDeepwatermarine]

I came here to find the attachment for my slide hammer you’re using

[@Bacon676]

Fantastic fucking video. Short, simple, right to it. Just what I was looking for.

[@dustyhinton7639]

Do not do that with your axle shaft the bearing puller will slide through the seal if you can pop them both out at once

[@Boz_-st4jt]

Not sure I'd let this guy touch my 01 2500 HD? Much less change the oil! Was astonished he would use the axle splines to remove the seal!

thanks man this was helpful to me in houston tx

@Marc Owens OK kid

[@mikeb6902]

would I be correct in assuming when you are driving the bearings in, when you hear a change in sound, that means the bearing is fully seated? Thank you.

[@ralfhinojosa]

Thank you for the video

[@bellingsen]

How can I tell it`s a 7.5" or 7.625 inch? I have this 1999 pontiac firebird trans am v8 convertible. I had some differential issues and ordered bearings for 7.6". Problems! I think it`s 7.5" . What is the difference and where can I find the right number 7.5" or 7.6"...?

[@oldbiker9739]

the 7.5.or 7.6 10 bolt has sharp horns on the bottom rear diff casting . the 8,5 has a square casting at rear housing .

hers how you tell , th-cam.com/video/zcYumTo9baw/w-d-xo.html

[@cheflewisanthony4685]

If that's bad will it make a loud thump noise

[@IsleOfFeldspar]

Does the gear oil lubricate that bearing too? I’m not a mechanic.

[@jerryturensky]

yes it does, that's why its important to have the right amount of gear oil in the differential.

[@wilsonwichman4847]

Does the axle just pop out ir do i need tk remove anything

what bearings did you use BC for whatever reason...I can't seem to find any for my 87 cutlass..7.5

Real helpful, much appreciated.

What tool are you using to pull the bearing...it was so quick. We've tried several brands of bearing pullers for our 1970 Chevelle and none work.
