Hello, great video. I also have a Honda foreman s 500. Just changed the bearing and seals. I did everything the same way you did it. When I finished I had the same wobble With the tire. Checked everything. The bearing seemed to come out a little to easy. Could I have a bad knuckle? I torqued main nut to 58 ftp and still wobble. Can you help with advice.
Well I haven’t figured it out yet why I have the wobble but I got new bearings and seals so I’m just going to live with it a little bit of a wobble.Probably gonna wear out the seal somewhere down the line.
@@MikeRogersMusic i have this problem too. i have a lot of wobble on the left side and very little on the right side. cant hurt to replace bearings and new hub. i have a 2004 foreman S
@@MikeRogersMusic Its 100% the hub. I know this comment is old as sin, but take the hub off. The bearing will literally be loose where it seats. Driving the bearing in, you feel resistance. But its actually worn out where it bottoms out. Total PITA after buying bearings, and needing a hub. I tried 2 different brands/bearings and this was the issue. Theyre on ebay for around $45 used, or you can spend about $270 for a new OEM one. Somewhat known issue on the honda forums. Personally I'm rolling the dice on ebay and checking for the same issue when it arrives.
I dont have a press, im trying the 2x4 method to press bearing back in however it seems to be being stopped by a lip when it's about 1/2 way down leaving 3/8" sticking out any suggestions I was originally using Amazon part then decided to try OME part same issue with both please help!!!
@partzilla I noticed you have a few bearing changing videos. Sorry if I’ve missed it but have you done bearing changes on a 2016 Polaris Ranger or similar utv/atv with front struts?
@@PartzillaParts thank you for responding the front strut hub on my Polaris Ranger is part 1824180 (right side). I think it’s a little different and was wonder if just the hub is removed (decompressing the spring) or entire strut assembly (with spring) is removed to replace the bearings. I guess either way would work just wanted to see a master changing it out lol
My buddy is changing his and I'm telling him how over the phone. He's not a mechanic of any sort so he can't look at a bolt/nut and guess the size. You should say what size sockets you're using, that would help a lot of people.
John does an excellent job narrating. Great vidography!
Glad you enjoyed it
Love this Honda Rancher repair videos. Kinda reminds me of Honda CRV suspension.
Thank you very much. Clean, clear vid. No annoying music. I’m subscribed. Your Chauffeur J Bruce, Hollywood North 🇨🇦
Thanks for the sub!
Great video....a reminder of why I take mine in and pay a pro to change or service my wheel bearings.
Great job sir you a bless night..be safe
I appreciate the instructional video
John is the best

do you have a video on the rear bearings rnr for this rancher trx420 ?
Very well explained! Thank you
can you use an EPI EZ greaser tool in those bearings? I have a 30MM version of the tool.
Thanks John, awesome vid
Very informative video. Good job. Would watch all your videos.

Great Video, thank you again for the 2012 420 love!
Awesome video again also great service thanks for the parts
While you're at it you should also replace the cv-joint boot :P
Quick question, my steering wheel doesn't turn as smooth as we would like. I changed the steering upper shaft bushing. What else could it be?
Very helpful
This must be his first time doing this. Take the shock bolt off and get the cv out of the way and pull the bearing easy
Thanks. Good video
My 420 started to pull to the right after my bearing replacement, any suggestions?
You probably figured it out by now. The castle nut was probably tightened too much.
excellent job

A while back we did a wheel bearing replacement on a 2011 Ranger 800 crew: ua-cam.com/video/yrlbdD3xDOA/v-deo.html

i've got a 99' 02' and a 07' i need to do this to all :( i'm gna invest in some tools lol
Coyote love 🇨🇦
Great cideo

Honda is Japanese everything is metric. When John says "a couple of 12's" that means a 12mm socket will remove that nut.
I would definitely use sealed bearings
Do they make them for an 02?
Buen video
That’s the shit with this channel nobody answers questions. Videos are awesome but there will always be questions because no 2 situations are alike
John is live on UA-cam every Friday afternoon at 3PM eastern to answer questions.
Any chance you want to come to New Zealand and go over my bike 420fm and I'll take you for a jet boat and a hunt
Looks like this wheeler needs some new CV boots aswell.
Got that video in the hopper. Coming at you in the next day or so! Subscribe and get a notification!
Gotta change those acles
Can confirm if you don't replace it will lock up the wheel 😅
The Bering make noise
