Honda GL1500 Goldwing - Rear Wheel Removal and Install - Final Drive Service

1994 Honda GL1500 Aspencade. In this video I show the removal of the saddlebags and exhaust to access the final drive and axle. Removal and replacement of the rear wheel. I also flush the final drive with motor oil to get a fresh start.

My mufflers seemed to be seized onto that turtle-like part in front of them. I got the muffler clamps off with great difficulty, but I didn't have the courage to twist and shimmy the muffler off with force like you did. I didn't want to break that front part. I was able to bend them slightly down just enough to get the the axle out. Thanks very much for the video.

I've got a 1998 GL 1500 and your videos are gold!! Thank you, Sir

[@claytongerber]

Glad you like them! I am working on recording the whole process. I hope they get better

I hadn’t thought about a tow set up. I was a bit surprised how much of the bike I ended up taking apart just to get to the maintenance items.

Great video thanks 😊

[@claytongerber]

Thanks for watching!

[@marklowrey4694]

Good job! I’ve learned to be very careful with the older plastic. You keep the videos coming as I am always looking forward to your next one!

[@adrianb1655]

Boy oh boy this was a fun job! 😒
I just did this to my 88 and it had a towing frame on it so I had to take that off before I could remove the wheel and back it out. What a mess haha but fun to learn.

Thanks for your time

Not a criticism but an observation, you really should have removed the entire final drive assembly and greased the final drive internal splines since you had the rear wheel off. If you end up doing that at a later date only use Honda Moly M77 paste. Cheers.

[@kensmith3665]

On the driven gear did you use The Moly 60 or the M77 MolybPaste or regular grease?

[@claytongerber]

I used regular grease.

[@jeffanderlik7695]

Way easier to lay the bike on its side in the grass.

[@buzzard6113]

That is the complete wrong way to do it!!!!

[@claytongerber]

Thank you for your kind words.

[@camelkins9688]

Care to clarify?

Goldwing docs has a much more professional process. Removing the under panel on the trunk makes everything easier. Just swivel the mufflers down. Rinsing the rear end is a good idea.
