What happens here

The presenter positions a new differential bearing onto the differential unit. He then uses a red shop press to apply force, pushing the bearing down onto the unit. He notes that the bearings were slightly heated prior to this step to aid installation. He encounters some initial difficulty with alignment, commenting that it's coming down crooked, and jokes about the integrity of the bearing. He emphasizes that for a less powerful vehicle, this method might be sufficient.

Goal: Install new bearings onto the limited-slip differential unit.

Tools and materials

  • Limited-Slip Differential Unit — The component receiving the new bearings
  • New Bearings Summit Racing — The components being installed
  • Shop Press — Applying force to press bearings onto the differential unit

it is time press the bearings on now when i did this before i heated these a little bit i think i had to but this one they kind of you know they don't need much persuasion plus you know uncle rob has no 2000 horsepower escalade so we're just going to send it anyway put that on there put the little smoosher plate right on here and you know just crank it until till something happens that's coming down crooked not going to work i don't know why this thing freaking sucks i did the other side just fine when the camera wasn't on and now it doesn't want to cooperate with me so maybe oh you're good you're good you're compromising the bearing integrity the the the well i'll let you know if something goes wrong here okay we're just like trying to get this done all right
