Installation Guide
Tools Required
- Floor jack and jack stands or an ATV/UTV lift
- Metric/SAE socket set and ratchet
- Torque wrench
- Soft-face hammer or dead-blow hammer
- Bearing driver set or appropriately sized sockets
- Snap-ring pliers (if your hub uses retaining clips)
- Punch and small chisel
- Brake cleaner or parts cleaner
- High-quality waterproof wheel bearing grease (if bearings are not fully sealed)
- Anti-seize compound (for axle splines/threads as specified by OEM manual)
Pro Tips
- Lightly heat the hub or carrier with a heat gun and chill the bearings in a freezer for 20–30 minutes to make installation easier.
- Only press or tap on the bearing’s outer race when installing into a hub; use a correct-size driver or socket that contacts only the outer race.
- Check the axle and hub surfaces for scoring or grooving; deep damage may require axle or hub replacement to avoid rapid new bearing wear.
- After installation, spin the axle/hub by hand; it should feel smooth and quiet with no roughness or tight spots.
- Re-check axle nut torque and wheel fasteners after the first short ride, as components can settle slightly.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Driving new bearings in by hammering on the inner race, which can damage the bearing
- Reusing old or damaged seals instead of installing the new seals from the kit
- Not cleaning out old grease, rust, and debris from the hub/axle bore before installing new parts
- Failing to torque axle nut and hub fasteners to OEM spec, leading to premature bearing failure or axle play
- Installing seals backwards (spring/lip oriented the wrong way relative to contaminants)
Comparison vs Stock/OEM
Designed as an aftermarket replacement for OEM rear axle bearings and seals, providing comparable or sometimes improved sealing and durability when properly installed and maintained.
Improvements
- Fresh matched bearings and seals restore tight axle support and reduce play.
- New seals help keep out water, sand, and mud better than aged or cracked OEM seals.
- Convenient kit packaging ensures you have the correct matching bearings and seals for the covered applications.
Considerations
- Always verify the Shindy part number 11-503 against the exact year/make/model and any sub-model or axle/carrier changes.
- Quality and lifespan will depend heavily on correct installation, torque, and ongoing maintenance in harsh riding conditions.
