Great video explaining the difference between regular and repair wheel bearing. It is very useful information about recess and diameter. My mustang can't use repair bearings. Thank you!!!

I bought some of these repair bearings to fix the noise in my rear end. I tried to install the bearing like he did in the video but it went in about halfway and refused to go any further. I had to ruin it to get it out. I measured another one carefully to assure there was nothing to bind it as I drove it in. Again the same problem. It bound up and did not want to go in.I then got a 3rd one and the only thing I did differently to get it installed was I put oil on the O-ring. It was the O-ring that was causing the binding. The installer in the video does not instruct to put oil on the O-ring. Be sure to do that.

AWESOME LESSON I'VE BEEN USING SKF PARTS FOR MOST OF MY WORK, THANKS

I see some questions that are not answered. For these axles the bearing roller actually rolls on the axle shaft vs. rolling on an inner bearing race which is not a preferred design as the axle shaft surface is not nearly as hard as a bearing race. Over time the axle bearing contact area becomes worn or pitted. The best solution is to replace the axles which are typically less than $150 each which includes the new bearings and seals. The alternate solution is to use the Axle Repair Bearings. These bearings move the rolling surface on the axle outward to a new unworn surface. The problem with these is they also protrude from the axle tube which makes it difficult at time to be able to push the axle in far enough to ore-install the axle c-clips without damaging the new seals. The repair bearings also do not last as long as the original. You may get 40,000 miles or you may get 10,000 miles out of these. If your doing your own labor it maybe cost effective but if your paying someone it is cheaper in the long run to get new axles. Also, to remove the repair bearings (which are hammered into the axle tube) the best way is to remove the seal, inner bearing retainer, slide the bearing out of the housing, then run a bead of weld n the ID of the bearing race and it will shrink the bearing enough to alloy you to easily pull out the bearing. This also does not damage the axle tube. At this point you can either install a new repair bearing or a new axle and original bearing and seal. Hope this helps someone.

How about National RP-6408 Axle Repair Bearing? I see mechanics saying this design the seal is inboard and the bearing is pre-greased, that just doesn't seem right. There is a seal on both sides of the bearing, but that axle running on just the grease they put in there doesn't sound like a great idea, guess just for people who cheap out and do not replace a worn axle... few more miles out of them?
@stevebrooks8625
almost put mine in backwards cause there is a seal on both sides. This should be addressed in video. Smaller seal that sticks out a little goes to the inside.

i installed an AxlesSaver bearing in my 53yr old rearend because of the horrific noises it was startin to make in the mornings but now i cant get past the metal detectors at the airport. is there a neoprene type bearing to replace the metal ones as it made a big difference in my rearends life and all the neighboring componets in its general. i thought The Clapper was the answer but SKF came thru thankyou AxleSaver👍
@OldSchoolNoe
Love the details!
@scottmitchellrose1732
nice work! i always have trouble determining if it's in far enough... need better measuring tools like you used.
@Traumatizering
I know this video is old already, but is it correct that the only thing holding the axle in place is the C-clip in the differential housing?
@darrylm3627
Good Stuff, Great Tips👍🏿😀
@FleetTech97
People say to be very careful with the spider gears and they may fall out when you turn it. How can you prevent that?
@racespeed1485
Curious if you might know where a person can buy a replacement axle seal for the axle repair bearing assembly? or will a stock OE axle seal work with it ? Its a 88 GMC C1500 with the 10 bolt 8.5
@jesusdanieldiazserna431
I have that problem with my bearing and they hold onto the passenger side, it has already been twice that I change the bearing and change the old axle because it had wear, what is the problem?
@JackFrost-f7v
My axle does not have a c clip what holds the axle in?
@clipsevolved3159
Nice video, the guy told me that the wheel bearing seals on the rear is causing the car to vibrate when driving 50+ MPH......so is it true that wheel bearings do cause car vibrations? Thanks!
@hp3453
Whoa..."Not corroded or have any type of imperfection" on the axle...thats why your buying this bearing because your axle is compromised and you dont want to replace it as it shifts the bearing and seal to better surface....If you r axle is fine why would you even use a repair bearing??
@flecktards3126
Hi. I recently installed one of these bearings but it has a seal on both sides. The bearing came with some grease and then I packed it even more with some of the red stuff. I didn’t know if this was suitable or not because nobody has instructions for the bearings that are sealed off from the diff. Will just grease be sufficient or does the bearing need to be filled with gear lube. I’m betting on grease, but it is a shame that I can’t find an actual answer for these bearings.
@AlexlsRulz
So these don’t sit flush?
