Tuff Torq Genuine OEM 19216899490 Pump Bearing Kit for K51 Transaxle Review:


I used vise-grips to hold onto the old shaft and a screwdriver to gently pry up the old shaft since I needed a C-clip tool to remove the C-clip directly above the bearing. To see what I was working with when I inserted the replacement shaft, I did drain the oil bath. Avoid jostling internal parts out of alignment.



Timken SET5 Bearing Set Review:


I'm a sucker for genuine Timken bearings. Since these products set the industry standard for quality, I fail to understand why anyone would want to purchase any other brand. My previous set of Timken bearings had 214K miles on them and were still in good condition when the vehicle was taken out of service due to other issues.Although Timken cost around $5 more than some dubious brand, I don't want to deal with issues on a long travel because I tow my race car with the van these bearings were installed in. Why would anyone settle for inferior quality on something so crucial for so little money?I used to manage two dealer service departments and a custom performance shop, so I know good bearings from bad ones. THESE won't let you down.

ACDelco RW20-10 GM Original Equipment Rear Wheel Bearing Review:


These were purchased in a pair, and they fit perfectly on my 2005 GMC Canyon (4x4) (aka REALLY tight). Having never replaced them before, I personally watched multiple instructional videos and read several how-to manuals. Although installing them required some time and care while using a 3lb sledgehammer and the old bearing as a makeshift punch, it went fairly well overall. With a rental bearing puller, removing the old bearings was simple enough.If I were to attempt this again, I would most definitely get a bearing driver, a large socket, or a piece of PVC so that I could insert the bearing more quickly. Using the previous bearing, it was challenging to get an even hit, but I eventually succeeded. Another tip I learned was to freeze the bearings first; the cold would cause them to slightly contract, making installation easier. I pre-lubricated the bearings with gear oil after installation.After a few days of driving, I believe I feel the ride is more comfortable. My old bearings, which had 132k miles on them and were probably original, were 13 years old.

Yukon Gear 2.800 Inch AK C10 Gm 7.5/8.0/8.5/8.6 Inch Rear Axle Bearing And Seal Kit Review:


For a single rear wheel, all you need. Keep in mind that the oil slinger is a dealer part that they frequently don't have in stock and that this kit doesn't include one (none do). The bearings are the target of the oil slinger tabs. Just be sure to record the setup when you disassemble everything. There are many YouTube videos available. When installing, make sure to fully lubricate the bearings because it takes some time for the differential oil to pass through them.Some videos instruct you to install the axle seal; DO NOT. Install on the side of the wheel, then attach the axle. When I put the seal on the axle the wrong way, I had to repeat the process (diff. oil leaked).The bearings and bearing races are included in this kit, which is great because they need to be replaced simultaneously. In used races, new bearings won't survive very long.
