Wow! I bought a wrecked Katana 750 and have been struggling for the past 5 hours to remove a stuck bearing in exactly the same way you showed. Thanks to your informative video, I’ve decided to give up and just buy a complete swingarm in better condition to save time.Thaks a lot,
Woody, there is always an escalation of force when dealing with stuck things: Finesse, pressure, heat, more pressure, small hammer, BFH, and finally extreme violence that may result in the full replacement of the item and your shop is on fire. Looks like you can still use your swing arm so great job!🎉
THANKS! I couldn't listen to music or podcasts while working. I knew if I was distracted I would make BIG mistakes. Luckily BFH's and extreme violence weren't needed!!!!
Id never want a camera seeing the things ive tried alone in the garage. A cheap hydraulic press is a life saver. I decided to get one after beating my 1st car wheel bearing out.
HAHAHA! I choose to show y'all what really happens. So if I were to screw something, y'all would now know hat not to do. I like the idea of a cheap hydraulic press. Have any issues with it pressing the bearing in even when it wasn't perfectly set in and being 'off'?
Hey take your blind bearing puller and forget the slide hammer just use the attachment that grabs the bearing and take a pipe over the threads that go into the slide hammer and then put washers and a nut on the threads and as you tighten the nut it hits the pipe and will pull them out with way more force than the slide hammer that’s how I did mine it works so good I used this method on an old harleys cam bearings
Wait until august. Put a AC in your garage. Re-grease when its too dang hot to ride in TX! Been there... done that. Also, do that now. I have some linkage bearings to replace. Will be doing my new GG300 during the summer! To much muck and water local. When I raced and lived mostly in West TX it was really not a huge deal and you could really go longer. I hope my adventure goes better than yours. I have a both torches and the yellow bottle gets the nod most times. Also, a bit of anti-sieze on the "press" will help things along as well. Also, when pressing using a bolt. Reach for that grade 8 stuff. Will take a bit more before breaking.
When doing stuff ourselves we always run into some crap like that but I found that a local machine shop will have them out in about ten minutes for $20 bill then I'm on with my day.
Does not matter where riden dirt or beach , everyone's trained to water last heck out of every joint that should be left with tiny protective grease on seal , but dad brought bike and the new ones coming so who cares right

Glad I could help, I think! It took a lot of work, and a grinder, to get that bearing removed. It wasn't my finest moment.

He woke up in the morning and didn't choose violence.... until the next day!

Interesting, and great idea! Stored in the memory bank.

Grade 8 in the future FOR SURE!

OH, that’s a good idea!!!
How long did that take to happen?
How long did it take me to get new bearings in or how long did it take for these bearings to get this bad?
@@SeatTime How many hrs for them to get that bad?
Oh my Woody an abused Sherco? You don't own any spray rust breaker, or WD40?
I tried some rust penetrant, but it didn't seem to get in there as it needed to.
