You know you can bolt the tire back on after you remove the nuts that hold the drum on and use the tire as leverage to get the drum off, works every time for me
to get the bearing on do you have to hit it very hard and like beat the hell out of it or does it seem to tap in. I know its a press fit but i personally don't like the idea of hitting something hard with a hammer if you dont have to.
@@ImprovisedBuilds well i just thought about it and im going to wait until i get a press over here. i have to rebuild a whole 3rd member anyway and i for sure need a press for that.
The easy was to do this without smashing the bearing is to hold the bearing or retainer on a screwdriver and warm it with a hot air gun. Do not warm it so much that you ruin the insides of the bearing. Just needs to be warm to touch and it will slide on with minimal effort. If you want to put your shaft in the freezer, that will help.
My samurai is all gunked up with oil all behind the bearings. Other then the bearings could there be another part I need to replace? Anyone have advice or the same problem?

Thanks for the video, helpful information and was just what I was looking for
Glad it helped!
You saved my day man... thanks a lot! Keep it up
Unless there’s an inspection cover like a TLC and some GM axles all dropout units are non C-Clip.
Thank you very much for the video. I have a question is there a spacer before the bearing?
Ur the man great video
Thanks! Hope it helped
Improvised Builds yea that’s exactly how i did it
Is there a rear bearing seal? I can't find a any videos that show a seal replacement for rear wheel bearings.
Yep, go to about 5:45 in the video and you can see me pull it out of the axle
You figure it out?
Tanks man! !!!!!!
nice job
Thanks!

The bearing wasn't too hard but the retainer was.. they probably had different grade interference fits
