Great video I just replaced the rear wheel bearings on my 97 RM125 I followed along step by step the only difference is I had 2 snap rings instead of a retainer nut. I also like that its not 20 minutes long its just what you need to know and that's perfect
Great video. I finally broke down and bought a bearing driver kit love it!! Was only $70 works so nice and drives straight as an arrow for working on bikes and sleds.
I do have some feed back that would be helpful in your future videos. Your verbal explanations and written step by step are spot on but you could deffly show more video to what you are doing in each step. For us visual learning types, when you fast forward the visual just isnt there. Not trying to hate on your video just wanted to give some feed back that I had after watching it. Like I'm still confused on how to beat out the bearings. If you use a socket that is the size of the bearing to beat out the bearings and there are bearings on both sides of the hub, how will the socket fit through the side that has 2 bearings in the way to beat out the single side bearing?
just got a new wheel and the bearings inside don't fit my old rear axle that I have, and I was thinking that I could buy a new axle that fits my new wheel but if I buy that then I think their would be too much play when I put it threw the swing arms since I need a tiny bit smaller axle, so I don't know if I should change out the bearings inside the new wheel to fit the axle.
Don't change the axle size. If you can find a bearing set that fits the inside diameter of the hub and outside diameter of your stock axle, that's the way to go. You might have to do some extra work to find the exact size bearings, but I'm sure you can email manufacturers your dimensions and find bearings that work.
i have just bought a Yamaha rt100, someone has botched the rear axle, the collars, bearings, pretty much the whole thing - can someone link me to a complete kit for the bike, would appreciate it :)
You said to remove the brake side bearing first by using a socket on the sprocket side. But how do you use a socket with the sprocket side bearings still in. Picture 9!
@@Fixyourdirtbike unless you're throwing hand grenades in the horseshoe pit. Or throwing horseshoes at the machine gun nest. They're drastically different things. *shrug* the whole point of not applying heat to the bearing is to limit how much you expand the BEARING in relation to the HUB. You want the hub to expand and not the bearing. But you were applying DIRECT to the bearing moreso than the hub. Counterproductive.
Yes I changed my bearing/seals and spacers and I got side to side play. I have to say that my hub was loose on the double bearing side so I punched some little holes in the hole to make my bearings grip as a temporaly solution. With my side to side play, I will add washers equelly on both side. Wath do you think and wath do you suggest me for when I will have to fix it the right way? Sorry for my english im french canadian
Its wasnt really that easy for me to navigate through it i couldnt really find what i was looking for bc the list and things i was looking at i just couldnt navigate it no suggestions more of just feedback for you to improve i love what your doing and usually dont get responds keep it ip

Oh yeah, that's always a good time.
Was wondering how to get the spacer between the 2 bearings in on my pit bike a bit different process but video helped a lot thanks man

I'd assume this is the same thing or close enough for minibikes. Hopefully this helps me out🔥🤙
Very good brother thanks from Dhule Maharashtra India
So my rear bearing blew apart taking apart rear ball bearings everywhere can I rebuild?

Thanks mate although I think I'll use a bearing puller
Can you do this without using heat?
No, the bearings are an interference fit, so the bearing needs to be smaller than the hub or the hub bigger than the bearing when removing/installing.
Hey man. I got a 2008 kx250f. And I’m looking for the bearing tool. And I have no idea what to look for, idk if there is a specific one. Can you help
Your bike has a snap ring, so you don't need a bearing retainer tool. All you need are snap ring pliers and you're good to go!
@@Fixyourdirtbike DUDE, big help and you posted this vid 3 years ago! Holy crap thank you thank you
What size of bearing is Mostly used in dirt bike
i have just bought a Yamaha rt100, someone has botched the rear axle, the collars, bearings, pretty much the whole thing - can someone link me to a complete kit for the bike, would appreciate it :)
Checkout the oem parts finder on Rockymountainatvmc.com
@@Fixyourdirtbike just tried, that link is a dead link?
What do I need for a old Chinese put bike a 2005 kainuo..? I don't know where to buy them
What is the distance collar @ 1:58?
Do you have to start wth the brake side and end with the brake side bearing for every model bike?
Marcus Bevzyuk I'm sure some bikes will vary, but yes.
start and end with the side that has the retainer is what I have always done. This is usually the brake side but not always.
Can I use a screwdriver to carefully remove the barring retainer?
I think you have a circlip, not a bearing retainer.
Fix Your Dirt Bike ya I just pulled it apart, there's just 1 clip on the brake side.
Sweet!
Question....... I have a drz 125 with disc breaks.... is this the same
Your bearing retainer might be different, but the procces is the same.
Are bearings the same size for the front and back
Depends on the bike. What bike are you working on?
Where can I get them from
You said to remove the brake side bearing first by using a socket on the sprocket side. But how do you use a socket with the sprocket side bearings still in. Picture 9!
Tap directly on the sprocket side bearing race.
My bearing retainer is stuck I can’t get it off any suggestions
Pack it with dry ice for 15-30 minutes. Heat the out side of hub after. The try. Ice may work also
Thanks will try
Very nice, well said.
Thanks!
So bearing fix if the wheel wobbles
Yes
Fix Your Dirt Bike ok thanks
"Heat the hub and not the bearing" as heat is being directly applied to the bearing......
Well, they're pretty close to each other.
Fix Your Dirt Bike Except one can heat the hub simply without putting the torch right on the bearing. 🤷🏼♂️
Horseshoes and hand grenades.

Well, you know the old saying, "It's hard to mustard on a hot dog without getting some on the bun".
I have a question: is it normal to have a left and right gap between the swingarm and the wheel hub, spacers, bracket?
No, there should be no spaces. Does your wheel slide side to side on the axle?
Yes I changed my bearing/seals and spacers and I got side to side play. I have to say that my hub was loose on the double bearing side so I punched some little holes in the hole to make my bearings grip as a temporaly solution.

Sorry for my english im french canadian
Sorry for the late reply. Is your bearing loose in the hub?
Size of the bearing?
What year
Pretty much all I need is a Leatherman
Where can I find the torque spec for the barring retainer?
What bike do you have?
