Tip: If you are going to reuse your bearing, keep the same sets matched together, if you send your drums out for machining, make sure the same bearing goes into the same race when you reinstall. Quickest way to get a bearing failure is to swap races!
Great video thank you, just a safety thing to note if you are doing this with just a jack is always have the van hitched to a vehicle so that it cannot twist and roll off the jack, and never get under a van thats on a jack, by the way I really like the adjustable ride height system you have.
Hi Michael I had the stabilizer legs down on the van and the jockey wheel. Wasn’t going anywhere. But that is a very handy tip. The airbag system was awesome makes leveling up at camp a breeze.
Thanks for the video but when you removed your inner seal the screwdriver thing you did is not the way to go flip the drum over and just tap it out with the flat screwdriver from the other side much easier
Sure did. As the brake pads and drums have been changed. The brakes need adjusting to suit this. There is a slot in the back of the brake backing plate and can be adjusted through that. Hope it helps
@@twinsepicadventures4006 I have a dual axle caravan and looking at changing only the rear RH backing plate and brake hub. Keeps getting hot brake hub, repacked bearings 4 times and got a good mechanic to adjust brakes and repack bearings. So I’m just going to replace the lot. Is it ok just to replace one and leave the other 3? Brake linings, hubs and bearings are fine on the other 3, they don’t get hot. It’s could be a few things wrong to explain why it gets hot but I’ll start with new gear rather than stuff around with old.
Good job! Very helpful. Thanks!
I really enjoy your videos, you seem to be doing all the things i have to do. Very informative and appreciated. Thank you
Thank you for the kind words.

Great
I can't imagine why you would go to that time and expense and not replace the seals.
How much wa the assembly with magnet?

Kinda hard with the bearing in the way
Did you do a brake adjustment out of curiosity?
Sure did. As the brake pads and drums have been changed. The brakes need adjusting to suit this. There is a slot in the back of the brake backing plate and can be adjusted through that.

Why didn’t you just replace the brake pads
Doing it barefoot...wow 😊
