This was probably one of the best videos on setting up not just the BMW final drive assembly, but for gear alignment for this type of gearing such as any differential ring and pinion gear. Beautiful video, editing and narration. Also, making the custom tools was a big plus 👍🏻
Thank you so much for your kind words! It's great to hear that you found the video informative and well-made. Creating custom tools certainly makes the process smoother, and I'm glad that aspect was appreciated. Keep enjoying your DIY projects! Regards Andreas
absolutely brilliant. the play by play is clear and concise, the camerawork and editing is exceptional. the attention to detail of the rebuild and the quality of production blows my mind. this might be the best out there.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! It's quite a challenge to condense over 3 hours of video made up of 500 separate clips into a concise, informative format. My videos tend to be lengthy due to the multitude of important details that require showcasing or explanation. I try to deliver the highest quality possible with the resources available to me. Through the process of editing and video creation, I've already gained valuable insights and skills, and I'm eager to continue learning and enhancing my creativity. Your ongoing support means a lot, Steve! Best regards, Andreas.
Buenísimos los vídeos, el proceso de medición de tolerancias realmente instructivo , es de apreciarse la limpieza y sobre todo las herramientas hechas para cada paso en el proceso, la narración es agradable, y la edición impecable, de los mejores sitios en el internet para los entusiastas de las BMW,
I‘m glad you enjoyed this video, Jeff! Even though this assembly seems very intricate on video, I’m sure once the parts are in front of you, you‘ll find it easier to work on. Thanks for the support😃👍🏼
Outstanding . This BMW R60/5 was a very interesting and educative series . You are not just a maticulate and careful mechanic , but also a good teacher . I saw every episode and understood almost everything . Am i correct as to still expect a video with the finished product completely assembled and see the motorcycle result riding ? I hope so . Good job , and thanks . With respect , Erwin , Belgium .
I’m glad you enjoyed this one too!😃 The R60/5 will come together in the next few weeks and I will start to focus on the body & paint work. Once completed the final touches will need some attention😊 Thank you for your support! Regards Andreas
Great Video!! Thanks - you mention using an undersized bearing to avoid needing to heat the case during shim calculation. Did you custom grind or buy? If bought can you provide source / partnumber?
I've precision ground the old bearing! So, when you're swapping out the old bearing, keep it handy as a custom tool for future projects 😎 This is highly beneficial since both old and new bearings have identical widths, ensuring the pinion gear stays aligned for future installations. Remember, heat and extraction should only happen once because using slide hammers or other extractors on a new bearing could potentially cause damage. I hope this helps😃👍🏼 Regards Andreas
I attempted to extract the tapered pin with small slide-hammer, but the tip broke off. Later I removed it by the means of drilling it out carefully on a small drillpress. I then modified it to the later threaded style pin, because the original tapered pin is getting harder to find. Hope this helps.
Another really excellent video, Andreas. Workshops with the ability to do this stuff are now few and far between, and for the individual rider, for whom this is likely to be a one-time repair, it would be difficult to justify the expenditure on tools and the time it takes to develop the skills involved. My hope is that out of all the people watching, one or two will perhaps be inspired to get set up and look towards taking on this kind of work. On another note, when are we going to see the finished machine?
When this bike is finished I think you should put Rolls Royce badges on it. Both Rolls Royce and BMW will be honoured due to your craftmanship and engineering skills.
The vintage Rolls Royce from the same era as this bike was the epitome of luxury and elegance. It would hold great significance for me if I could make that a reality! While one continues to thrive in the world of aviation, the other has a storied legacy in that field. Maybe one day I’ll find a Rolls Royce to work on…you never know😁🔧
Hi Keith, I have a No3 arbor press and it works for both the final drive and the transmission. The No2 will probably work for the pressing force, but the No3 offers more space to work. Something I prefer especially when making custom pressing tools. I hope this helps.
@@WorkshopRebuild Thanks, that very helpful. I assume you make a lot of the special tooling you use - you should consider making and selling them. I'd love one of those engine stands.
Für den Laien auf jeden Fall, aber auch das Einmessen sollte unter normalen Druck geschehen. Das ist schon Königsklasse weil sehr genau gearbeitet werden muss damit das Getriebe auch lange hält. Es kommt wirklich auf einmal paar Hundertstel an. Normale Getriebe sind da nicht so empfindlich. Auch ein Differenzial ist wird sehr genau gefertigt. Ebenso Automatikgetriebe.

Fascinating. I hope I never have to do this but your video would be invaluable if I do.

1st Class Presentation !!!
Dziękuję za podzielenie się wielką wiedzą na ten temat.Pozdrawiam z Polski.
You're very welcome! I'm glad to share, and I appreciate your kind words. Best wishes from here 🇨🇦!
Beautiful . I learned so much . 10/10 thanks
I'm glad I could share this with you. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! Cheers Andreas

Outstanding video! Clear, detailed descriptions and video of all procedures. And this is going to be an amazing bike when completed.
Cheers, Peter.

Awesome video as always.
Great video. How did you extract the needle bearing locking pin?

I then modified it to the later threaded style pin, because the original tapered pin is getting harder to find. Hope this helps.
Outstanding great detail

I don't want to know how many time you spend on it ! Your bike will be more than brand new after all !!
How is the progress of this bike? Is it already completed?
Just a few last pieces to the puzzles and then it'll be completed. Stay tuned for upcoming videos very soon on the R60/5
Thanks for this video my friend😊
Thank you for watching this video, Sir😃👍🏼 Regards Andreas
A beer can works great to cover so lines and install seal
That is definitely an alternative and it works! I hope someone else sees this and finds your comment useful. Regards Andreas

Super wie immer!😃
Vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen, Benedikt!😎👍🏼

What size arbor press is needed to rebuild both the final drive and transmission?
Hi Keith, I have a No3 arbor press and it works for both the final drive and the transmission.
The No2 will probably work for the pressing force, but the No3 offers more space to work. Something I prefer especially when making custom pressing tools.
