hi my friend d ray, what an honor to watch a real trx guru, iv been working these for 20 something years, but goes to show we learn new things each day,il always treasure your style, keep up your awesome work,Jimbo from Otaua, New Zealand.
this guy does the most professional work ive seen on the web,very clean,neat,detailed and do all the small things.great work to bad u dont have any new foreman 500 repairs
I'm a single mom and thanks to this video I was able to help my 12yr old son fix the brakes on his fourtrax . I don't know if you are using a Go Pro cam or what.... but I loved the fact that it was well lit and close up so I could see each part and every assembly.. thanks so much for the video. With your help I was able to help my son properly restore his Father's atv. However I did have problems finding the parts , so if you have someone you could recommend.
EXCELLENT VIDEO !!! Thank you so much D-Ray Smith . best video on utube You make this so easy, even a cave man can do it. You saved me on the self-adjuster . I had forgot how it went back together and couldn't get it back together GREAT INSTRUCTOR !!!!
I'v found on every bearing I have replaced that using a knife to pop off the plastic seal on the side of the bearing is a good idea. BECAUSE they never put much grease in the ball bearings, I use Marine Grease and pack it in there!! 2 reasons, one not much grease from factory and two marine grease is WATER PROOF!! Remember to snap plastic bearing cover back on the bearing before using it!!
These drum brakes are a pain to adjust on my ozark cant get them to feel tight on the brake lever to much play in them so hopefully a new cable will fix the problem
These videos have helped me a lot. I can't get my rear differential apart though and all the bolts are off. As you would say, it's a real bugger-boo! It wouldn't even come off the axle housing so I had to remove that off the rear shock as well. Now no bolts are on there and I'm afraid to smash it... Any ideas?
Hey man thanks for videos helped me rebuild my carb. Question went to replace rear brakes found a lot of sloop in the axle tore rear end apart gonna replace bearings. Should both bearing cups on axle be removed there are 1 on each end tks
I watched this video because the setup is very similar to what I am working on and there isn't anything for mine. It is an 01 yamaha big bear 400. I took my rear axle apart and the bearing on the right is stuck in the axle tube. Any thoughts?
First I wanted to say thanks for the great video set.. you did a great job. I have a question.. When I went to buy all the stuff to do this job the guy at the parts counter almost had a aneurism when I ask for the O-ring seals. He said don't ever use those but to use silicon instead. So I didn't buy any o-rings.. what is your opinion? I like the way you did it better so I am either going to go back and get the o-rings or order them from online so I don't have to see the guy go into a fit.
i have loud screeching rear brake. so i pull everything apart to change the shoes, and i have plenty of pads left on the brake shoes... so i spray everything down with brake cleaner, reassemble, and now it is louder then before.!. do i need to take the glaze off of the drum ? can/should i scuff the brake shoes too or just the drum ?
Thanks so much for this video. I have watched it about 10 times. In the process of doing mine, I do have a question. Do you put any grease on the big rubber ring, on the brake plate? The one the dust cover comes in contact with?
Replacing rear brake shoes on an 86 Honda TRX200SX. Everything came apart OK. I cleaned it up and replaced the shoes. Now the brake drum will not go back on. I have tried tapping it with a rubber mallet but it does not seem to be even close to going on. New shoes seem to be same size as originals. Any tricks to get the drum back on?
i have a honda trx 250 fourtrax can i remove the axle without taking the brake drum apart??? I have a slight bend in the axle and will be replacing it any advice will help. THANKS
I have a question for ya just changed the beating in my fourtrax and the bearing I thought was the wrong one because it won't slide over the fat piece on the axel my question is does the bearing sit and ride on the very end of the spindle or fit over the fat piece of the axel
One heck of a series! Very comprehensive! Thank you.
If every dealer did work like this guy. That'll be the day! Nice work.
