Closed (for now): Group Buy: IEDLS Polyurethane Carrier Bearing

So where does the pressing of the bearing come from as mentioned in other posts?

 

I BELIEVE the bearing needs ti be pressed in. As it shouldn't just be floating around in the shaft as easily to just install it.

Of course, I didn't do that part so don't take my word as gospel.

 

Here is a good how to for 1st gens on how to do the carrier bearing @Unchained 5150

It appears the bearing goes in easy like, so there is no need to press it in as I previously thought. Your U joint on the other hand may be difficult to remove without destroying so tread carefully if you plan on removing it and doing the work yourself.

 

Please add me to the list.

 

Got it!

 

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so I guess I will have to pay to have it done okay thanks.

 

Subbed. I just replaced mine literally last week. Depending on final price it might be worth it to get One and just hang on to it till I need it

 

And just to clarify the only special tools needed to do this job are a 2 jaw puller and a torque wrench. You have to take the ujoint apart which can me done with two sockets and a vice (or two peices of pipe. One to fit inside to push the joint out and on larger to accept the ujoint). Then remove the nut and use the puller to remove the yoke and old bearing. Then put the new bearing on and the yoke. Torque to 153ft/lbs to set the bearing then back off and set the final torque to 55 ft/lbs. then use the vice and sockets to reassemble the ujoint. It's a very easy process

 

So for someone like me that is zero handy what would something like this cost to do???

 

And now we wait...

 

Here is the update. I was just emailed back by a man named Jeff from IEDLS. This is what he had to say about it:

73.00 from 125.00 now that's a discount.

 

This is the link I was just about to post as the above steps are how I am going to replace mine AND I will also be using a plate on top so as it doesn't vibrate up/out.

Also, this is the email I received last week from IEDLS referencing part number 211590-1XS:

Benjamin,

This bearing has the same bearing I.D. as the Toyota but the way it bolts in is different. It my work you my have to modify the way it bolt in.

Thank You

The hardest parts for me when I changed my CB out was that I had 2 u-joints actually bent and the 20 ton hydraulic press was struggling. Otherwise a 4x4 and a socket and hammer and you can replace the U-joints on your own. The bearing literally just pulled off by hand and the new one slipped right on.

 

Awesome price

 

How did you bolt the carrier bearing up? Got any pics of the install???

 

I may be in for 2.

 

Originally I was just using the stock location. My angles were all messed up due to shitty fab work. I have the pillow block one. (Blue in the first pics)

Then I had the actual mount reworked.

 

Can you sign me up? And when is this happening?

 

Will you install mine for me????
