In the middle of restoring an old family one that we had that was going to rot, what type of grease should be used in the front, the books don't specify, they just state to lubricate it...not much to go off of.
Hey I have an 84 big red where the nut and washer fell off. Someone put a nut on it that wasn’t the right thread and lo and behold the threads are pooched. Do you by chance have an idea what thread size that axle is?
Thanks for the video, I noticed the axel grease you used was kind of red in color, do you have a link to the actual grease you used or recommend to lube the axel before we reinstall it?
Hey thanks for posting this video ! . The front wheel on mine has a squeak in it . I have the same year big red. Also thanks for the torque specs. Do you recommend any particular brand of bearings ? Or ones not to get that are notoriously bad?
I need help getting the front axle on my 84 atc 200es its so frkin stuck in there, i hammered the hell out of it and all i did was messed up the thread 😅
Heating up and quenching with cold water tends to help help loosen rusty fasteners. You'll have to grind the messed up threads off before it will turn out now.
because the bearing is not flush with the face of the hub, there is a gap for a rubber seal that the old bearing would get stuck in whereas the socket is long enough to simply pull out.
What Lazarus said and also because there is typically a little play in the bearing being replaced so if you use it as a driver it will put pressure on the center of the new bearing being installed which isn't great. I have a box full of old bearings and races to use for pressing and such but it doesn't work here.
thank you for this video... i have a 200x that has the same set up and that blind bearing puller makes it easier than using a drift punch
Right on

Good video, thanks much
Video right on time! I was looking to change my bearing on 85 big red. Thanks for your time brother
Thank you so much...
What size socket did you use to press in the bearings?
I have an 84 atc 200es and this video was a lot of help

It wasn't anything special. That grease just helps keep rust off the axle so hopefully it comes apart next time.
A marine grease would likely be the best
Love it thanks
By chance do you have anything on the rear?
Just fluid change.
Great job on showing and explaining the installation of how to change the front bearing's on the big red three wheeler

I recommend Honda bearings and seals. The originals generally lasted 30+ years. They are still available as of January 2021.
@@macsgarage thanks again !
@@macsgarage Do you have a link to purchase the bearings?

Heat and PB Blaster will be your helping hand in this.
You may have to source out a new axle if you damage it too much.
Great video! Thank you for the information.
ok THANKS
Have a link for those wheel berrijgs
They should be available from any Honda ATV dealer or online Honda power sports store.
atc 125m what sizs Bearing Puller do i need?
I don't have one here but it should be close to the size of the threads on the axle bolt.
You can also drive them from the other side with a long punch but be careful not to damage the hub.
why not just use the old bearing to whack the new bearing in instead of the socket?
