Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, for the past 1day I had been trying to extract a broken bearing cone from the rear diffential of my jeep bcoz it was sitting only on the cone none of the puller worked, I watched your video used the same technique it popped out easily. God bless you buddy Mazher Khan Smithville. ON Canada

You're so welcome. I'm happy to hear this worked for you!

That was great to use the simple washers to do this job.

I basically used the same method, however the results were unsatisfactory. Rented a loaner slide hammer and bearing puller kit from Autozone (US $190 "deposit"), had the bearings and gaskets out in under five minutes (9 hits left side, 15 hits right rear axle).

Well done. Frankly, I was a bit a surprised that I was able to pull this off and I assure you it took much more than 5 minutes.

Thank you.

Ingenius idea.. Will work even better on newer axles with tone ring inside the tube sandwiched or mated to the bearing with about 1/8 inch separation between. . I dont think there is a rental for that yet and you will need a stout inner bearing puller to do that job.Your method should work.. Thanks

I'm always looking for a way to avoid buying another specialized one-job-tool.

Thanks a lot for the socket idea!!!

that blade was springy that's why it popped out like that if it was a solid bar with a hole but its nice when you have something already drilled out the way you need it, great idea.

Excelente vídeo ...... bien explicado y con herramientas sencillas... gracias por compartir sus conocimientos.... saludos y un fuerte abrazo, desde ciudad de México

Ich verstehe kein Wort englisch, aber das Video ist extrem hilfreich . Danke

nice Job!

not a bad idea, you had your nut on the threaded rod, if you put a double nut on that rod you could just cut it down with your saw, then when you back off the two nuts it will fix your threads so you can reuse.

nice trick

A lawn mover blade!

Great approach! It got me thinking it could maybe be simplified by using a single rectangular piece of 1/4" steel with a slot or elongated hole cut into the center in place of the cut washer. it could then slip through, and behind the bearing at an angle with the rod installed through it, and would snap into place behind the bearing with two points of contact when tension was applied? Nice work!!!

Sound like a good idea but I think cutting that slot in the 1/4 steel would be the hard part.

Sorta shaped like an axle bearing puller you mean? Ya that'll probably work.

Nicely done !

this will work for chevy s-10?

What about heating the rear end housing with a torch along with this method in the video...would it help the bearing come out easier?

Wouldn't hurt and certainly may help.

Why only turn the wrench an ⅛ of a turn when you got plenty of room for half turns at least? Great idea though with the threaded rod and washers. Thanks

I was probably just being myself- cautious.

This was good ... painful to watch ... but good .

I’m have this exact issue, except my bearing race is seized/rusted on. Can you use a reciprocating saw to “cut” the race out vs pulling? Conversely, any tips on what to use to release some of the rust? WD-40? Something better?

I believe I tried a reciprocating saw for that to no effect. The metal in the race is too hard to cut. As for the penetrant, I prefer PB Blaster. Good luck. You're bringing back some bad memories of how hard this job was!

Good 👍👍👍👍👍👍🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦

I mean good video but these were not common house hold items still good diy

You're right. It depends on the household. I'm a long time DIY guy who has accumulated hardware from all over the place.

Theres gott be a tool at harbor freight for this job?

I would think there is puller that could work on a job like this. I just like to find a home spun solution whenever I can.

Have you ever heard of a slide hammer?

Sure, but it's fun to improvise (MacGyverize) with what you have on hand.

You know Oreille's rents the tools with full refund upon return,lol.
