Wheel Barrow Flat Free Bearing Replacement and Retrofit

Making a Wheel Barrow assembly made for a 3/4" axle work with a 5/8 axle and making it an upgrade at a very low cost. New wheel assembly hub required spacers so we made some from an old gazebo.

Thanks for the video, working on a mini bike, and can use the bearing replacement idea, improving some cheap utility wheels, thanks for posting.

Drat, I watched to specifically see how you got the old bearings off.

[@greasytimbers9978]

I pushed a rod from the other side through the center of the other axel and pounded the old bearings out. They were not in there very tight at all and since I didn't want those cheap bearings I really didn't care if I destroyed them. Alternatively on some I have done I have been able to take a flat head scredriver and pound up on the lip of the bearing to remove them.

I did that a few years ago. But those spacers rubbed the bearing and destroyed them. Then the hub moved side to side, then the metal flange broke away from the hub of the wheel.

I was just going to mention to put a washer between the spacer and bearings but I'm 2 yr's to late.

I cant figure out why some of my bearings feel rough after i put them in but some dont literally 3 out of 6 feel rough the others feel perfect all are brand new

[@emotionalstate2804]

Thanks a lot sir

[@bloodwingspro]

So how did you take it out? Was hoping to see how you popped it out.

[@greasytimbers9978]

If you are referring to taking out the old bearing since I didn't care about the bearings I was taking out I used the axle pushed it through one bearing and when it touched the other bearing on the edge i gave the axle a wack with the hammer and out the bearing came. Same thing for the other side just didn't need to thread it through a bearing as that bearing was already removed

[@user-wq4we5kt1f]

didn't show how to REMOVE the old bearing

[@MangoSlade.]

U skipped the most important part, so now I have to find another video

[@um8440]

Put a screw driver on 1 side and knock it out the other bearing.

[@jaimemoreno7792]

The reason i am watching the video is to learn how to remove the bushing and that was not shown on the video

[@greasytimbers9978]

What will usually work is to take a rod from the opposite side and a hammer and pound it out

[@jaimemoreno7792]

Thanks

You forgot to grease your new bearings. Most cheap bearing come with little to no grease.

[@greasytimbers9978]

I didn't want to break the seal to add more grease for the amount this is going to be used I don't think I'll ever see that bearing fail.

[@cadman311]

@@greasytimbers9978 They make grease needle or pull one side up to add grease.

[@yumpinyiminy963]

Not it's hard to find a 3/4". Almost all replacements come with 5/8".

Waste of time
