Great video, I bought a wheel bearing greasing tool and grease my wife machine and my machine one time a year. We are old folks and ride slow and easy and we stay out of mud and deep water. Over 4,000 miles on mine and 3,800 miles on my wife's machine and we have not replaced a wheel bearing yet. I am a retired auto mechanic and do not believe that too much grease will cause heat, the only thing with over greasing is running the risk of damaging the seals. Love your videos and the fact that the entire family is involved keep them coming.
Thanks for the vid. Make me laughing the "fact" more grease make more heat possible.... 🤦♂️. I will shred and fire up all my certification's as technican since 40 years, next to my current job as engine mechanic of aeroplane jet engines here in germany. Lol
Manufacturer does not put enough grease in the bearings...we are religious on greasing them and did a video with a simple tool to do so...15 pumps on each bearing or more. we also hit a lot of water and mud holes. Good vid keep em coming
Thank you, we thought the same thing with not enough grease, we spoke with a can am dealer and they told us the bearings were designed for little grease and that over greasing them would cause them to get hot and fail. Whether that’s true or not I can’t say but since we started greasing them every 800 miles or so we haven’t had any issues. Time will tell haha.
@@TheCanAmCrew Yes we were told that as well...so many speak of that in the forums and I can appreciate both points of view, we don't ride hard or fast and with all the water and muddy trails we decided to grease regularly...so far no issues with our machines. Thanks for the informative video
@@wolfserker3179 that’s awesome man, I’m up to 7800 miles on mine in 2 years. Couldn’t be happier with it. If you have any questions at all just let me know. I’ll help anyway I can. You can check out our Facebook page too and shoot me messaged over there. Thanks for watching.
I’ve gotten heavy duty all balls bearings that came with a seal but I’ve since switched back to oem. They seem to last longer but they don’t come with a seal.
@@TheCanAmCrew I put the seal in anyways , can't believe there is no seal there is nothing stopping water from entering that bering , its a friend bike I'm working on , I have Hondas they at least try to keep water out with seals lol
Very informative !!! Lets everyone see that a bearing replacement is not a complex job.

Yep, your statement are right. And trust me, we old folks have lot of true knowledge of mechanic wise and myths. Greetz from germany.
Intro is on point!! Good informative video, it’s what you do between rides that make the ride!

"Not the most professional way" hahahaha that's how 99% of techs would do it.

@@TheCanAmCrew over greasing causes them to get hot, seems suspect to me at best lol

Hey now I put a face to all the Instagram photos. Nice work my man. 🍻
🤘🏻 haha. Thanks man. Appreciate it.
Do the new bearings have a inside or outside or can they be put in any way??
They can be put in either way.
Thanks for the video man! But, do yo now the part number? Thanks
Sorry, I do not
Should you wait until the wheel becomes wobbly before changing the wheel bearing or change after so many miles
We usually wait until there is play in the wheel before changing.
Good vid!
Thank you 👍💯
Are these known for going out?
@@6lastresort I’m not sure. I have 11000 miles on mine and it’s still good.
@@TheCanAmCrew Copy, thanks for the feedback.
Is ryobi a good drill ??
It’s worked well for us. Never had any issues with it. I have dewalt, Milwaukee and ryobi. I like them all.
Question. What size is that bearing socket? Bought a press and needing something to press in/out bearings... Thanks
It is 1 inch 360 thousandths. Just a smidge under 1-3/8th
@@TheCanAmCrew I sure do appreciate you a lot sir!!
@@davids5006 no problem. 💯🤘🏻
so a 1 3/8 will work?
How much tons is that jack?
20 tons.
What bearings did you use and where did you get em from
I’ve been using the all balls bearings and I get them from my local can am dealer here. They are 35 bucks a bearing and seem to last 1500-2000 miles.
@@TheCanAmCrew awesome thanks man. I just got a 2018 switching over from RZRs so now gotta learn all the maintenance on can am

mine bearings came with a seal ?
