  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ต.ค. 2024
  • In this episode of Tech TUElk I show the viewer how to change a rear wheel bearing on the trail with simple everyday tools. When a Jeep JK is loaded to GVM they are very susceptible to rear wheel bearing failure. Even if yours has not failed yet, you should prepare by understanding the procedure and having the parts and tools available.
    I hope this video helps you!

    The fact that youre doing it in the bush shows that you really know what youre doing. Good job.

      Yeah, I've had to do it a few times out in the sticks. Less than ideal but if you've got to do it, it's not too hard.

    Note to bearing re-installers... use the old bearing collar (now split open) as a driver to push the new collar into place, and 2 hammers is better than a hammer and a punch..... 2 hammers, one each side, blamming down on opposite sides of the old bearing collar, driving the new collar home.

    I’m about to do the rear passenger bearing. I like the drum brake slide hammer trick. I can hear the movement in the bearing at slower speeds ( getting worst now). I found movement up and down in the bearing with the wheel off. Bearing kit ordered. What brand of bearings you guys used. I ended up with a Repco brand. We see how it lasts. In my previous four wheel drive I used Timken one side and Koyo bearings on the other. Both were fine.

  • @dan400919
    @dan400919 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    How did you realize that you should change the bearing at that right time ? I mean, I am somehow in the bush but I need to run more about 500km with that bearing sound. What bad thing can happen ?

    • @theunlimitedexpedition9418
      @theunlimitedexpedition9418  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Usually the first indication is a leaking seal. If there is no noise you should get 1000km or even more before the bearing collapses. If there is a noise, failure is imminent probably within the next few hundred ks. If it fails and you continue to drive, it will most likely destroy the axle shaft, brake rotor and possibly the axle housing itself. Once the bearing seat on the axle housing is chewed out, its new axle time for you.
