KIT: OTC 6537 Hub Tamer Elite Master Set
BEARING: India D-5 Thrust Ball Bearing
This is a video in response to another one I did using my Hub Tamer and guys were asking about the bearing I used in the kit. This something I added to the OTC kit. However it should not be used because it is dangerous and could kill you and is not endorsed or recommended by OTC. However it make a nice addition to the kit. In my opinion.

    Try frame and spring shops too, those look about like king pin bearings

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars UreaSmith says:

    They don't put them in the kit because it would drive the price up. Retail they are about 34 bucks.

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike's Channel says:

    what is the reasoning behind using the thrust bearing? Thank You

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars james ayer says:

    great tool were do u get the bearing

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Chiodetti says:

    Great Idea. Sometimes the tool manufacturer leaves out an important part during design.
    Great Video!

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hola! Terry Harvey says:

    I bought my first. Otc bearing installer in 1988 so l 've been doing this a while. Saw the vidio and ordered a thrust bearing. It works great, makes it much less of a strain on your tools. By the way, my a.c. clutch installer and my ps pump pulley installer came with a thrust bearing. Wonder why otc didn't include one as well. Great vids I do not get as much rust in Tennessee as you do, but I do get some. I feel for you. Good work ain't cheep and cheep worth ain't good. Keep up the good.

    Bro your the man you got a email

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rex Anderson says:

    Lisle has a tool VERY similar for R & R wheel studs.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Duncan Mac says:

    Extreme pressure grease might work too in place of the thrust bearing should a bearing not be available. It wouldn't hurt to lube the threads of the jacking bolt. Thanks for the video.

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kelly Okamoto says:

    Wonder if that bearing would fit/work with my strut spring tool?

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars IM MILLER says:

    Why you just don't run a weld bead on that lil bearing race and fortify it. And see how much use you get out of one.

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hard Worker says:

    The bearing you used is it single direction.

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dick Marshall says:

    Great video

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Wes InRichmond says:

    Is that D5 thrust bearing 3/4 inch ID or OD?
    thanks

    BTW, Great "teacher" .. better yet "Bearing Professor" !

    And you're still not using hearing protection and that is going to cost you later on in life. It's no joke,hearing loss is horrible and brings nothing but frustration for everybody

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris C says:

    We have the 6537 kit and I have had nothing but problems using that yoke piece to get hubs off..way more hassle than it should be, just wondering if all the various pcs in the elite kit match up with what comes in the 6575 Hub Grappler kit? Was thinking of just getting the grappler separately, since have all the various pcs for dealing with bearings in the elite kit..

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gabriel Velazquez says:

    Wouldn't it work better with a second bearing on the rear? Or is it not possible to add one on the back side?

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jim Haines says:

    The bearing manufacturer is the German company "INA" I have always used them with my Hub Shark by Ken Tool

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sean Caldwell says:

    Nice! I don't do a lot of hub bearings but it looks like this kit might work well to instill jeep d30-44 upper axle side control arm bushing. Have u ever used it for that?

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars bibodude says:

    Just a suggestion:  Tapered Roller Bearings may have better lifespan. This type of bearings are designed to withstand also the axial force.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Aaron Kimmins says:

    if I may ask, how could these kill you? Are the bearings gonna come shooting out at ya or something?

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars AnNam Viet Nam says:

    maby you can use hydrolic press ..will be better

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rick Martinez says:

    great video used this one as some of my training to do the wheel bearings on my Toyota. what is your take on when I drive hit 30+ Mph car starts vibrating and is noisy I'd really appreciate it thanks

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Eustice says:

    check out the hub grappler update kit it's way better it comes with a new hub pulling bridge new forcing screw with a cone bearing and some new adapter for the rear if the Ford explorers and u use your hub tamer adapters

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jim Schrumm says:

    What is it with you and safety glasses? Is it a love hate kinda thing?And right after you said you can turn the thrust bearing into shrapnel.

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 170324341a says:

    I recently purchased a set like this, not OTC, but an offbrand with good reviews. But didn't like the washers here, even with the idea of oiling them up a ton for a job. I'm going to purchase 4 of these thrust bearings now. Thanks! You should be getting commission from bestbuybearings. — UPDATE: To anyone considering a purchase — make sure the forcing screw included in your hub kit is 3/4" diamter. Mine was 7/8". This means the thrust bearings posting in the info of the video will not work with kits that have larger forcing screws. You'll need a d8 bearing instead.

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joe simpson says:

    Hell yea, 113 video two ok maybe three days………

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Cky says:

    why not just take the knuckle out and press the bearing with a bearing press?

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars pedro rodriguez says:

    HEY ERIC O THOSE TIS BEARING HAS TO BE A D-5 LET ME KNOW THANKS

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars JOGO says:

    That is an awesome tool. Thanks .

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars tecnaman says:

    I always liberally oiled the forcing screws each time. Used to do suspension bushes on a taxi fleet but have never used a hub tamer ( don't see them much). I very rarely used an impact gun and always used a thrust bearing off early model Holden (GM), oiled. as well . Forcing screws threads don't last long when used dry I found. Enjoy your channel Eric

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shade Tree Giants says:

    Have you ever come across a wheel bearing that could not be pressed out using this tool?  I borrowed this tool once, followed the steps exactly, and I could not remove the old bearing.  I ended up bringing the whole knuckle to a machine shop to press the bearings.  I'm trying to figure out if the tool didn't work because of corrosion (I live in NYC) or because my compressor wasn't strong enough.  I have a pretty nice air compressor, so I was shocked (26 Gallons, Chicago Pneumatic which is an American Made brand, and an IR impact).
