What a fantastic job of explaining what to do. MY 2003 Chevy Tahoe parking brake pad holding clip bolts broke off from both cases. The only way to drill them out and replace them is to remove both axles to get a drill in there. This video will help immensely to ultimately replace those parking brake retention clips on both sides. Ugh! I am 80 years old and dread the job, but have to do it. No repair place wants to do it for me. Thanks for this video!
Helpful and intriguing. In August 1990 I purchased a K3500 Silverado. As I began to read about the mechanics of my new truck I soon came to learn that the 1 Ton Chevrolet and GMC trucks had "floating axles" which, if I'm remembering it correctly, simplified the process of replacing a wheel bearing. Has anyone reading this ever done a bearing replacement on a vehicle with floating axles? I never had an issue with the K3500 Silverado in the five years I owned it.
The c-clip, is tht the only one...when you said same procedure on other side..is their another pin and c_clip..or it's only one for both bearings?? Lmk thanks. Great video .great 411.. thanks
Very helpful video, thanks! I have a 99 chevy express 3500 I'm getting ready to open up the differential.(having some ugly sounds coming from it). It has drum brakes in the rear. Any idea if the rear axle shafts are locked in the same as this. Everything else looks the same to me except the disc brakes..
Hello, Just always had question...how does Axle locks to Differential ? I see it is free and no where locked. I saw you pulling it freely.. even that C clip in the differential may not lock it right ? I wonder how wheel is always stay inside differential.why not it slips horizontally outward.
no but you need to check for scoring, discoloration, and warpage, although if you had a bent axle you'd feel it as wheel vibration that won't go away regardless of how much you balance it

This guy has the icewater in his veins of a hall of famer field goal kicker. I love it.
Well done! I need to do this on a SAAB 9-7x. Very helpful. Thank you!

+Blake Browning Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
Thank you, nice video. I think I would've got that sway bar out of the way...I hate working around stuff if I don't have to.
Do you have a video on replacing the rear hub assembly on a 2002 Suburban. I imagine it is quite different but cannot find the tutorial.
Hello,
Just always had question...how does Axle locks to Differential ? I see it is free and no where locked. I saw you pulling it freely.. even that C clip in the differential may not lock it right ?
I wonder how wheel is always stay inside differential.why not it slips horizontally outward.
My rear axle shaft is bent it’s been rubbing making a scraping noise .just bought a new axle shaft today with Bearings
Forgot to put locktite on the cross shaft bolt.
Thanks , awesome how clear you explain.
What would you do if the 8mm bolt broke??
Its a 5/16
Are both passenger and driver the same length?
Would this work for my 05 yukon
About how long would it take you to do this with no prior experience? Doesn’t look too hard
+Man Man The normal repair time is about one hour.
Thats pretty quick
Great video!... just wondering what causes a axel to bent?
I bent my axle by sliding sideways and hitting a pole
I bent mine sliding sideways and hitting a curb 🤦🏽♂️
I bent mine sliding sideways into a curb on a rainy day 😔
I could not get the pin out, what would cause this pin not to come out
What happens if you can get the axle to go in far I
Enough to remove the c clip what causes that issue ?
What is the piece behind the bearing in the axle called?
Excellent!
Does anyone know how you install this bearing?
how do
a 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe Rear Axle Shaft Repair Bearing
Do you have to replace the axle? Or is it okay to just do the bearing and the seal??
I'd say that you could keep the axle if nothing was wrong with it.
no but you need to check for scoring, discoloration, and warpage, although if you had a bent axle you'd feel it as wheel vibration that won't go away regardless of how much you balance it
great video.. thanks.
What if it has drum brakes???
I've been smacking the axles and I can't get the retainer clip out far enough to grab
OMG I thought the brake router was going to land on your foot. It was suspenseful at that moment
Or at the very least...the brake *ROTOR!*
