As mentioned in the video the guide tube was so tightly pinned in the middle moving it would have damaged it and I had no access to the inner race edge. This is probably down to the rear axle but being over torqued. Not all bearing come out the same. I have changed a ton of bearings in the mechanical boat work I do time to time for a company. Sometimes they just come out other times they fight you all the way haha.
Great tip to weld. I just spent HOURS today trying to get front wheel bearings out. Have a blind bearing extractor kit that is crap. Can't get enough of inner race lip to drive out bearing (old school). I have a gasless mig and I'll weld in a long bolt tomorrow and bate the beech out.
@@spicy110 hey! I picked up a few m10x130mm bolts after work today. Welded one into the bearing, let it cool and it came out. Like yours, no sign of rust or crap on the outer race. Spacer out and the opposite bearing drifted out without needing to weld. Thanks to your video i had both bearings out in 20minutes.
I just changed the (shimmed, taper roller for extra frustration) bearing on my R65. The Nielson version of this puller works fine. You can also use it with the supplied bridge to pull and as a pusher to get the new ones in. It isn't as good as a 4lb lump hammer via wood onto concrete though. Sledgy and Saab wheel bearing AND heat didn't work and 20T press did! I did use a heatgun on the bike hub to get it sizzling first as it wasn't going anywhere to start with like yours!
Thinking maybe it was due to the double bearing ?? I borrowed one of those from a guy thats into his bikes and has one.. worked for when i replaced the fronts, but maybe mine was just easier. Derek you naughty Beefy bike.. haha. Great vid as always
Looks like you had more trouble than I did! At least I didnt have to resort to a welder... holey moley! At 11:38 I can see that the sleeve has slop, so you should have been able to drive the bearing out. Those double bearings are a beech though!
I feel your pain about waiting for parts when I was doing my RC51 Brembo Brake upgrade I had almost all the parts except for a few I had to order just as the Covid thing was beginning. I had 1 supplier sneak into their store (they are located in LA that had a full lock down) to send me some of the part I needed. Another sent the stuff from the UK right away and it sat in Canada Customs for 4 weeks before it was handed off to Canada post who took a week to deliver it 60 miles to my house..
There is, a decent kit will do it with the tool he used or a bridge puller. Saying that, save your money and use a drift from each side and the old bearings to drift the new ones in, that's how I'm about to do mine.
@@spicy110 Yea I guess that was to do with the quality of the product? I'm sure you tightened it as much as you could. I also noticed that you didn't take off the sprocket carrier, are the rears on the DR's set up differently to most bikes? They usually need removing to remove the bearing that side, and the sprocket carrier bearing itself. Doing mine when I can be bothered, I'll just use a hammer/rubber mallet and a big old screwdriver, and the old bearings to drift the new ones in.
@@spicy110 Oh right, maybe it was over tightened, should be able to move it quite easily with the drift or screwdriver. So the sprocket just fits to the wheel does it?
Guessing your a younger rider (that's why you can only go for A2 Not an expert but viewed many of Spicy's videos as well as other youtubers... Most would suggest get a "smaller" A2 equivalent secondhand bike "to learn your craft" (gain real experience) then a year or two later pass full access then sell it and buy whatever you fancy.... IIRC
@@spicy110 i have seen many people use that tool and it worked I've never seen the tool come undone from the bearing itself. I have a front wheel bearing to come out of my bike I hope it's not stuck in like that 😬😬
As I say in this video and show in the previous video it was not possible due the the guide tube being wedged hard in place. Was possible on the front but not the back.

Always nice to be ahead of the game👍
Just did my rear DRZ bearings took 10 mins punching out the single side out 🤷🏻♂️ you really made a mountain out of this job mate.

And i did apply heat to the hub with a butane torch.
Best of luck, I have done quite a few bearings and none stuck like this. The weld really does the trick!

Expanding Rawl bolt is good for bearing removal
All the companies supporting you are coming in strong
I am loving this series
Wow, clever bearing removal! I’ve never seen that technique, just heard about it. Sorry your bearing puller didn’t work out.
Ebay , "Bearing remover tool" used once !
great video how it is , well done
Best Regards Shaun
ignore all the trolls , great job your doing .
its expensive but the full sealey blind bearing puller kit works spot on, you'd have those bearings out in minute's.
Well done on getting it done
Great video fantastic job looking forward to next one stay safe 🇬🇧👍🏻

Sadly the tube was pinned in there so hard trying to move it aside was damaging it.
you remove those bearings using a bridge pulling tool not a slide hammer
Wow, what a frustrating process! I feel like, if that's a Harbor Freight-equivalent bearing puller, it's probably junk, lol
Great job look forward to next one 🏍👍
Never seen bearings taken out like that you may have found it easier if you’d gone to next size tool up but fair play a1 for initiative
The next size was way too big sadly.
Had this exact problem with my apache bearing its the most frustrating thing

I reeeeeallly home it's not 4 weeks lol
@@spicy110 I know, I had to ride my RC51 without bar ends it felt just wrong riding a incomplete bike ;-p
Spicy can do it ......👍
The harder it goes..the happyer the reward is ...
I also have a tool, but it doesn't make things simple. It makes things difficult.
My wearing needs doing but the out ring metal bit is stool so u think could weld it that way
Just use torch next time before using bearing remover tool.
There is no easy way to get them out but good to see them out
There is, a decent kit will do it with the tool he used or a bridge puller. Saying that, save your money and use a drift from each side and the old bearings to drift the new ones in, that's how I'm about to do mine.
Couldn't get to the inside edge that's the issue, as discussed in this and the last video. 🙂👍

I was talking about the drifting out. The inside edge was not accessible as the guide tube in the middle was pinned hard, also no carrier.
@@spicy110 Oh right, maybe it was over tightened, should be able to move it quite easily with the drift or screwdriver. So the sprocket just fits to the wheel does it?
Maybe a heat gun and heat the hub then slide hammer?
hey spicy!
going to soon do my A2 License - wanted to ask you for good 4 cylinder bikes that’s restrictable? thank you!
If you can afford it the CBR650R is a 4 cylinder and it has a restricted map set onto it by dealership
Guessing your a younger rider (that's why you can only go for A2

yamaha fazer, suzuki bandit, honda cb400sf, yamaha xj6. i'm on a yamaha xjr400 and it's good fun but they're quite rare as they're imports.
Have you considered going with an oversized disc?
For the rear?
spicy110 nah the front. I use a 310mm on my drz400
A job well done :-)
Spicy did you make sure the lip of the tool was behind the bearing ??
Of course
@@spicy110 i have seen many people use that tool and it worked I've never seen the tool come undone from the bearing itself. I have a front wheel bearing to come out of my bike I hope it's not stuck in like that 😬😬
It's possible if the bearing was smaller it wouldn't have been able to slide out, however it's the only size in the kit that would fit.
Delboys garage has a good vidow of using something similar he got from wemoto his bearings were severely stuck like yours and he got it out no problem
Does this wheel have cush drive? Or has it been a few videos and I've missed it again?
No it's directly bolted on.
You did your time as a bike mechanic ?
No, I'm self-taught but I have done some paid boat mechanic work for a company.
I had that same puller, returned it the day I got it because it was worse than useless
I can't decide if it's the puller or just a really hard job, but that last one should have come out with it.
@@spicy110 yeah, I can see it working for some tasks but I don't think iv ever taken a bearing out of a bike that wasn't horrendously stuck.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Watch sparks fly as Spicy beats one out with his home made glory hole!
Recyclable glory hole! 🤣
"Ball's - bearing . Got there . No Rush ., Think ahead .. Ya got Nothing to Prove . By the way ... Those's tyres ? 😉
Excuse my ignorance but can you not just hit it on the inner race from the other side?
As I say in this video and show in the previous video it was not possible due the the guide tube being wedged hard in place. Was possible on the front but not the back.
Should have left it outside in a bowl of rice
Bearings are a bitch to do, especially if you dont have many tools like myself XD
So basically I should take this to a shop 😂 they want to charge 200 bucks for it, I don't think I'd be saving any money if I did it myself /:
Depends on if they want to come out or not, as you may have seen in the last ep the front wheel was a breeze.
.
Those slide hanmer tools are shite.. the three legged puller is better
Yer had issues finding one that went down to 17mm ID.
Mistake number 1 was buying a cheap tool which is basically throwing money away
Not really as it is going back, many tool I have a on the cheaper side and work perfectly. Worth a punt haha
