of the hundreds of youtube videos on motorcycle maintenance, by FAR this is the best!! Not just a "follow-along" video, but a great explanations on "why". Thank you very much and please keep on going!
Thanks Phillip, you're very kind... we've built up a following of younger riders and people who are really keen to get involved, not to mention a few who just can't afford to pay for garages, so it's wise to explain things properly and not miss things out... and as we've said often, knowing why something has to be done, is important to justify knowledge as copy cat is not the way to learn things, you need a deeper understanding of it so it makes sense !
agreed
I agree. Easy to understand, both how to and why. Great! Thank you.
@@Moonfleet41 Great video it may be a silly question but is it ever possible not to line up the spacer when refitting the wheel and still get the axle pushed through, or is there just no room for this error to occur? As you may have guessed im not mechanically minded lol
Must be very satisfying to know that your video recorded many years ago is still helping people today. I count myself as one of them. Thanks Delly, and Mrs Penny ❤
Yes it is, we never know when we make video content whether it will fall from view in a few months, or still be helping our viewers in many years to come.. It's all done in good faith. I'm Glad it was helpful, and than kyou for yuour feedback.
never even changed a plug, after this I replaced a set of rear bearings in a Suzuki. Superb video, the best
Del. I doubt you’ll read this as the video is knocking on a bit now. This video gave me the confidence and know-how to replace my front bearings. What would have been a £300 job at a garage cost me £20. Cheers bud.
You're most welcome mate, I always check the comments, am glad the video was able to help you after all this time...
In a past life, I was a seafairing man. Thank you for reminding me of how important it is to keep one's bearings straight and true. Wishing you smooth sailing on the asphalt seas.
+Okey Akers You Sir are a lyrical gangsta lol !
Thank you, I now have some coming from Amazon. There are so many different products available it's just confusing. Fantastic video's, very easy to follow. Thank you again.
I'm a university lecturer ... i think i know a few things about delivering material .... your explanations and detailed presentation is First Class , many thanks , Pete
Thank you very much Pete. So nice of you to say such kind words of support.
Once again your videos have been a life saver, I was worried that refitting the bearings after having my wheels painted would be a nightmare but it was much easier thanks to your help.
Not just pull the bearings and put them back in but a great explanation of what and not what to do. I could never understand what that tube was for but the full explanation of what it does set me straight.
Great video and everything explained clearly for anyone that lacked that bit of confidence to have a go themselves, keep them coming. 👍🏻
The best video on wheel bearings by far. I've watched other "professionals" banging on the bearing with hammers, welding washers on the bearing to pull it, I freaked out. Thank you for making sense and for keeping it simple!
You're welcome. Glad it helped
Great video! Easily the clearest, most common sense, set of instructions and tips I've ever seen.
It is a job anyone can do. Now they know how. Thanks as always Del and Penny!
Just found your video this morning... And this afternoon I replaced all the bearings and put in a new spindle to the rear wheel of my bike. It was a piece of cake after following your advice. Consider me subscribed!!!
Welcome aboard Pablo, sounds like you've had fun, and im glad the video was able to help you out..
This is the best best bearing change ever for motorcycles ! THANK YOU!!!
no fancy workshop
no fancy tools
no fancy talk
100% trully excellent workmanship perfectly perfomed.
a fellow mechanic
Thanks mate👍, glad you enjoyed it, really appreciate your feedback.
Excellent video. One suggestion, disassemble your old bearings, (pull the seal, then cage, then balls). Take the outer part of the old bearing and grind the outer diameter down just a hair, all of the way around. Now you can use it to drive your new bearings in, without it getting stuck. I do the exact same thing if I need to replace races (cones).
Just to say a million thanks for your excellent video's. Thanks to you I was able to strip the bearings from my zzr600. They were so thick of grease I couldn't see the circlips. but after watching your vid I was able to get them out. Many thanks.
Most welcome mate, glad the video helped you and thanks for your feedback!
This is the type of video I like, as it is in real time, nothing missed and a brilliant tutorial. Well done and Thank You. (New Sub)
Thank you. I’m about to change all my wheel bearings which I have never done. This is about the 5th video I have watched just to pick up on different methods. This is by far the best explanation of HOW it all works. Not just do this and this but do this because this is how it works. Knowing why not just how always helps me tremendously. That way if I run into some kind of issue I will be better able to figure out myself what needs to be done to correct it. Spatular teaching. Thanks again.
You're welcome!
I just went through an absolute nightmare to replace my bearings. Rear axle seized from rust, split it getting it out, only to have a local shop sell me the wrong bearings, then tell me my wheel was no good inside and quoted me over $1k to replace/repair it all. I've never felt so insulted. I have no problem paying for good service but they overcharged me to basically have a look and then wanted to bend me over a barrel. I wish I would've seen this just a day or so earlier. I ride a '98 Sporty and your videos are like a god-send. Thanks and keep being awesome dude.
+Killswitch Queen So sorry to hear that my friend, and how often do we hear those kind of quotes for repairs! I't;s not hard to arrive at them though, if you've cracked the rime, there's half the money straight away, and I'll imagine they quoted at least 3hrs at probably well over $100 an hour then add other parts related to it plus tax... it's easy to make someone choke at the counter... I know plenty of old school garages that see the relevance in this and they work their way round it to keep it realistic... in some ways I wish we had loaded it sooner to help you, but I guess you've got it fixed up now ... always contact us if you get stuck with something or you're not sure about a job, as even if we haven't made a video I'm still happy to advise you accordingly... no problem! All the best, tc, Del
Here's the kicker, after having another look there are no cracks! Just a few burrs where the seal sits. Sadly the bikes still on the lift in the garage until I can get a second opinion from my usual shop. Nothing like a bearing replacement turned to entire rear wheel assembly replacement to flip the day around! I appreciate the kindness, I try and do as much of my own maintenance as I can, and you're a big inspiration. Cheers!
Well its my first time taking out a rwar wheel bearing and watching your tutorial made it so so much better... I completed the job with no issues at all.. Just followed your steps and BOOM it popped out.... Can you use Lithium grease for peeping the new parts back in... Thanks so much mate... An absolute legend 👍
Hi mate, glad you got it sorted, you don't need to grease anything really, your bearings should be sealed and they're pre-greased inside, there's no room in the bearing cup for extra grease, so just maybe a wipe with a greasy finger so the bearing slides in and it should be fine... it's not a bad idea though to grease the axle to prevent it corroding inside the spacer sleeve.
Hi Del, I never comment on UA-cam videos and it has been said already; but I must mimic other comments and say this is by far the best video I've come across on a "how-to" for a motorbike, simply superb, I was gripped for the entire 42 minutes. Your other videos are just as good. A genuine thank you for taking the time to make these videos, they, no YOU give me the courage to attempt these jobs myself. Subscribing as I type this! Thank you again and I look forward to future vids. Best wishes.
A few years ago I used your fork video to swap the springs and replace the seals on my Versys, now I'm looking at using this to replace what I think are dead wheel bearings on my W650. Thank you for the great videos, it's super helpful to have such clean and to-the-point presentations for how to do these jobs. It takes work that I'd thought would previously require a shop and shows it to not only be accessible to a regular owner which is absolutely invaluable to anyone that rides regularly!
Thank you so much for those kind words, we're so glad the videos can help with your projects! Good luck with the W650, that's a simple task so pretty straightforward. Have fun and keep safe, Merry Christmas!
@@Moonfleet41 Merry Christmas to y'all as well, ride safe and stay warm!
Great video, very informative. Never had a duff wheel bearing yet, but I watched right to the end anyway. Just shows, common sense can save you lots of money.
It's nice to watch the guy who knows what he was doing.Salute to the expert, Best video.
Thank you so much for this. I used it throughout my DRs wheel bearing replacement. You made it look easy and it is! I wouldn't have attempted it beforehand though. Cheers ☺
Do me a favour... never quit youtube your a bloody legend!!!! Love the videos. Gradually working my way through them all and learning loads. superb 👌🏼👌🏼
Thank you my friend, you're very kind... we learn as much from YT as we donate towards it, so it's a two way street! Thank you for your kind words, always happy to get some appreciation, ride safe , D&Px
Great vid Del Boy - and top marks to Penny for steady filming & excellent closeups. I'll be attacking this as soon as the parts arrive.
Five years after your video and I just changed a wheel bearing after following along. Thanks so much for this great video, which is still serving us! Cheers!
Great straight forward advice . As you said , a little heat on the rim , is sometimes needed.
The methods you used can applied to most things , cars , etc.
Regards Pete.
Seriously, I know how to change wheelbearings by heart, but I watch your videos purely just because you explain stuff very VERY nice and understandable!
Thanks buddy, im glad you enjoy the videos...
Best tutorial videos out there! Thanks for all the time and detailed explanations you put into your work!
Fantastic video! You are a GREAT teacher. I'm in America and changing out my bearings on a Honda CT70 that I've had since new as a kid for 38 years now.
Glad the video could help you sir, thanks for your feedback..
Just come across this whilst looking for bearing replacement on my trusty old vespa Front hub ....bearings are bearings after all...top video my friend and well explained ...keep up the good work !
I know you posted this 4 years ago but thank you so much for doing this step by step, I'm bit of a novice but this has helped me so much, the MOT says slight rear bearing play so will give it a go, you made it look so easy, my machine is a gsx600f 03 reg.
Glad it helped Andrew, good luck with changing yours, take your time and have fun with it mate.. Del.
@@Moonfleet41 thanks for everything, chain and sprockets ordered, rear bearings ordered and will also give the exhaust a go, would it be ok to make the original one a stubby?
I am literally doing my wheel bearings tomorrow! Amazing timing! :-)
+David Balaam Thank you Sir, we aim to please lol !
I like your comment about fair exchange with dealers' repair fees. When I started working on my bike, I immediately ran into all kinds of hidden knowledge that an experienced wrencher has, and I did not. For example, what does it feel like when a bolt is "right tight". I rapidly developed a new respect for these characters.
For me, it is really useful to know about my bike (thank you for your videos), to trust it, to know my limits, and know when to call a pro. From this place, it is pretty obvious who's doing business with integrity.
When I learned how to fix a flat, I now know I can get myself out of the forest if I get one, I need to be out of the forest two hours before sunset just in case I get one, and it is fair value for me to pay a shop with a tire machine and balancer to do the job when I'm not in the forest.
Greetings from Florida, USA. You are a motorcycle genius! Thanks for the videos!
I often reference your channel when preparing for a job on the bike. They really help approaching a job I have not tackled before or looking for a better way to do a task. The last time I did front wheel bearings I put the bearing in the freezer overnight.
Really enjoy the videos keep it up please.
+eggybreadplease Good move buddy, the bearing only needs about an hour in the freezer to get down to 0c, then if you heat the hole up with a hairdryer or some boiling water, you can practically push the bearings in with your thumbs..!
I suggest: Delboy's Garage for a UA-cam motorcycle mechanics Guru!
Love Your vids! My bike is waiting for some brake fluid change and guess whose video tutorial I'm going to use...? Yours OF COURSE! Thanks a lot for You effort!
P.S. And the echo problems are gone ;)
+2Wheels_2Wings Dziękuję przyjacielu , jesteś bardzo miły!
What I wouldn't have given to have had this video in the run up to my MOT in the summer??!? The pain I went through putting my bearings in. I ended up having to put them in the freezer & pour hot water over the hub after I minced my 1st set! Great video. Will make a great "go to" next time around
+MacBegbie Sorry not to get it up sooner buddy, but they come up when the things go wrong.
Woah is that easy to change wheel bearing. Thanks again del for a fantastic how to vid look forward to the next project
+metz15shakil Thank you my friend, am glad the video can help... this is the core of what we do and it's so great to 'get back to business' !
After watching this video I feel confident to change my bearings myself. Well explained, thank you!
Glad to help, and good luck with it!
@@Moonfleet41 today I took out the sprocket bearing and seal, it worked great, tomorrow I put in the new bearings and seals. What do you think, should it help to put the new bearing in the freezer before installing it? Will the grease get damaged by the freezer you think?
@@arnedijkstra7715 Hi Arne, you can put the bearings in the freezer overnight, it does work ok, and it shouldn't damage the grease as obviously the bike goes out in winter weather so if you parked overnight in the snow, no harm is done... but personally I've never done it, I just tap them, or press them, in cold and it works fine!
Thank you for an excellent and informative video.
Excellent video. Very informative. You made my bearing replacement a 15 minute job. I spent more time cleaning all of the hub parts and axle than I did driving out the ole bearings and installing the new ones. Love this channel
Cheers mate, that's very kind, am glad the videos help you, good luck with your projects!
when i put bearing back in i used the old bearing but i put a washer in between with a smaller hole to get the old bearing out just a little tip
Me I used a 27mm pipe
@@64fairlane305
can you explain?..been trying for 3 hours trying to get mine old one (onee i used to tap new one in) out.
@@JonNichols2112 Using a caliper tool, you can measure the interior of your hub. The hub on my 2017 ZX-10RR measures 32mm. When I placed a 24mm deep sockwt in there it fit a tad snug. A 5/16th socket seemed to be spot on with the bearing. However, you must test the sockets because different brands (Craftsman, Duralast, Powerbuilt) etc, have different thickness sidewalls. I suspect using a snug socket and a 6" extention may be enough to hammer out. Proceed with hour own decision and caution. Or, get the correct tools for the job.
@JonNichols2112 what r u using to get them out ? Shouldn't take 3 hours not even an hour
@@JonNichols2112 try to heat the wheel arround the bearing.I had the same trouble and it worked for me
Best Wheel bearing replacement video, breaking down everything and explaining what each component does. I have been so clueless as why there's a spacer in the wheel but not ANYMORE!!!
thank you for sharing Delboy n Penny.
Thank you so much. I just picked up a project bike it's a 2003 cbr954rr. The bike had a hard life in the past finally got the frame and rims powder coated. Just got done with the top end of the engine. Last part of the project is pressing in the bearings. Thanks again for the great tips. Awesome channel.
Congratulation on the project buddy, it sounds like your making fast progress.. just in time for the summer aye... Ride safe.. Del.
Great vid again you two👍Bearing in mind hahaha,I have a bad memory,I always take photos on my moby of any operation I perform on the bike,needless to say I have the dirtiest Samsung on the planet😃
+Richard Taylor I do the same... especially If it is going to be a week or two whilst I source other parts.. top tip.
Wow Thank you so much. Just taken my 1200 Bandits rear wheel off to discover a totally destroyed sprocket outer bearing, no wonder the tyre has worn badly. Now thanks to you the bearing is out and I'm ready to get the spare parts. Thanks for your well explained and detailed video
Cheers mate, glad the video could help, good luck with getting is sussed!
I like to chuck the new bearings in the freezer for a bit before installation (after you've checked they're correct size of course). This shrinks them a tiny bit just as heating the rim will expand it. It helps a little bit with getting the bearing in.
You're absolutely right! Then insert goes hand!
Paying attention from 37:00 to 37:05 .. i made it crystal clear...so saying it again... "HITTING ON THE BOLT HEADS, NOT ON THE SPROCKET"... this just pushes the cush drive carrier down into its seat...NO PRESSURE i placed on the bearing..!
OK,SORRY!!But it's really good to give deposits frozen and warmed charge!THX!
Very informative. Thanks for this video.
Couldn't you get condensation inside the bearing on the grease as it warms back up again?
Absolutely excellent "how-to" video. Excellent camera shots and instructions. Wish I lived in the UK so you would do all my bike work with absolute confidence that it would be done correctly. Thank you.
+Blackhawk 247 Hey buddy, that's very kind of you, thanks for you confidence! Tackling a few simple jobs, will soon build your confidence and you'll also then be able to pass that knowledge on to others... you know where we are if you get stuck on a job, just shout and we'll be happy to help !
Another fantastic video .cheers to you both 🤓cheers dave
🏍💰
The last time i did a wheel bearing was in 2001 after a trip to Assen on my Firestorm.Thats 15 bloody years ago! ,and your confidence fades over time.Thanks for the refresher course mate!.
+steven watson You know what they say buddy, it's like riding a bike lol !
Excellent how-to as always with just the right level of detail. These are some of my favourite videos along with the fabrication ones. It's great to add another job to the list that I'd have a go at when the time comes.
Also really excited to see what the new bike is and what it becomes. I'm curious whether you'e went along the lines of the usual firebaldes, r1's etc to fighter or something completely out there. Either way I'm sure it'll end up great.
+englishandproud11 You know us Matteo, it's gotta be 'out there' lol - it's not a Blade or an R1, as due to the popularity of those bikes, they are either over priced, or they're a nail! It's along similar lines, but it's a rarely fightered machine... and I've got some fun plans for it, it won't be a quick build, but may have it pn the road this season at some point ! Catcha soon buddy !
Delboy's garage is my goto stop now for all my bike maintenance. thanks to you guys for posting as your help and advice is honest and invaluable to novice guys like me
When I first took these things off, I felt so frustrated, it was a nightmare.
Got my first motorcycle a 2001 GSXR 750 and needs a few repairs, I'm changing tires, sprockets and chain and since wheels will be off anyways I got a set of all balls bearings for rear and front. I'm new to working on any type of vehicle but I decided I'm doing everything myself to learn. This video is perfect and makes me think I can do it myself. Thanks
Good luck with it mate, remember to enjoy the journey!
I had to do this exact job on my back wheel but one bearing was so ruined and horrible, when i was tapping it out the whole thing fell apart in the wheel so i got the middle, plastic bits and what was left of the rollers ... Leaving the outer ring left in the hub ... Ended up having to get it heated up to get the bastard out!
+lausa92 lol nothing worse than when the cage goes on a bearing and you have that thin metal band wedged in, that's the point I normally walk away and get a cuppa.
+lausa92 Bad luck mate, had that a few times, and it just makes it a much longer jon aye! If you go that way again, after the first few hits, if it doesn't feel like it's moving and the hammer is bouncing back too much, then stop... turn the wheel over and fill up the area with WD40 overnight... then in the morning (and you may not believe it!) but just pour boiling water around the alloy surrounding the bearing, then spin the wheel over and it will tap straight out - works every time !
great video buddy, from an Englishman. I now live in NZ. After watching this I feel I could change a set - brilliant. Many thanks. mike
20:57 you look like Mr Krab from Spongebob squarepants hahahaha
Hahaha
Best bike bearing video by a very long way. Nothing missed out and a little bit of understandable physics to make sense of what he's doing. " Cocked " describes the bearing if you hit it too much on one side. Excellent and best vid.
Thank you so much for such kind words of support.
Great video! You saved me buying a bearing install kit. I did buy the Harbor freight bearing extractor kit though, and glad that I did since I think it greatly lowers the risk of damaging the hub using the punch/drift technique. With the kit I was able to remove the old bearing with no trouble, but did apply a bit of heat to the hub during removal. Thanks again!
Glad it helped, it's great to do your own maintenance!
I've worked on cars all my life and now I have a few bikes which I haven't worked on very much and I have a scooter and I can tell you know what you're talking about and that's the kind of people I want to watch thank you
Thanks buddy , much appreciated !
Absolutely love the way this guy explains stuff. I wish I had an uncle full of helpful advise like that.
Glad to help Piotr
I watched this video before I replaced my wheel bearing today on my bandit 1250. Very useful. One thing I ran into trouble was that when driving the new bearing in using the old one on top, the old one got stuck half way in after the new one got seated. It was really hard to get the old one out. I had to use a punch on the other side of the wheel to drive the new one out a bit in order to push out the old one. It worked. So now I just use the punch to get the new one seated. I would suggest using the old one to drive the new bearing in about couple mm below the housing edge. Then removing the old bearing and using the punch or similar tool to drive the bearing in from there. I use this method to the other side of the bearing and it works perfectly. But thanks again for the video. In fact your instruction is so clear that I feel motivated to do it myself.
Hey buddy.... thanks for the great feedback.. i would warn against using any kind of punch because ut hits in one place and can twist the bearing in its seat... it sounds like you got away with it, but its can happen... then the bearing is jammed at a cock eyed angle... the Triumph i used in this video only had a shallow seat, so when it seated the bearing came out with a couple of taps on each side.. but if you do this again, then you could maybe slice the old bearing down the side so it wont get stuck..! Great to know the video helped, and thanks again for sharing your success... Del.
dell mate you have the true nack to be fun and informative a true sign of a teacher
+Teddy Stephens Thank you Teddy, that's really kind of you... we're just so glad we ca impart the knoweldge to help others !
Amazing! Thank you very much! I am tackling my Daytona tomorrow. So this being the same type of setup makes everything so much easier!!
Thanks, just done the rear bearing on my 87 FZR 1000 and went like a dream following the vid as I went along.
Thanks for the feedback buddy, glad it helped you.
I bought my bike salvaged, so obviously, it needed some love. These videos are a godsend my friend!!! Thanks for the tutorials!!
After watching this vid, Ive subscribed to your channel Delboy. Great step by step explanation and great camera work to show everything. Ive not done wheel bearings for 30 years and now got to change them on my FJR 1300 front after 83k miles. Same principles for any bike front or rear. Enjoyed watching the vid and the fact you just get straight on with the job without all the usual crap people talk about on their vids.
I've recently replaced front and rear wheel bearings on my ZR7S. it's very reassuring to see I've done the job the same way as you describe. Like you said it's very easy, the hardest part was having the confidence to whack the new bearings in. Haha.
Very excited about the next project. I've been re-watching the bandit videos, so much information and entertainment.
Well done you guys!! keep it up!!
+CiaoBerto Thanks buddy, you're very kind , really appreciate your kind support... collecting the new bike tomorrow... reveal on Weds!
Great video. I'm replacing front wheel bearings on my Honda Goldwing. Discovered that the spacer (bearing collar) was missing after the previous owner had the bearings replaced by the dealer! Needless to say, the bearings failed in less than 1000 miles of me riding. Just got the spacer in the mail, and your video just helped me out quite a bit. Cheers from Texas, USA.
Hi There, thanks for you kind comments.. and yeah, why am i not surprised the dealer left it out... the internet is littered with tails of the carnage they cause.. and they are supposed to be the "qualified technicians"... lucky you caught it before it collapsed and caused a problem riding.. glad the videos can help you out sir.. good luck with your install... take care. Del.
Moonfleet41 Yes indeed. Thanks again!
Listen bro, I want you to know that this is the only channel and video I have actually ever stopped to listen to the diagnostic introduction, and I want you to know it's because you did it right.
You were concise, to the point, direct, and not goofy or funny, whacky not drab and boring.
I appreciate that and this clip. My front bearing is completely shot. I'll share a link to the video I made showing it following this comment for anyone who would like to see how bad it is.
ua-cam.com/video/Rd0SyQJk-Bw/v-deo.html
Glad it helped you out, i hope you got it fixed and safe for the road.. Thank you for your kind feedback.
Good stuff Del. Just changed my first set of wheel bearings thanks to your video. The ZX750E1 is back on the road.
Congratulations mate, feels good to do things like this yourself don't ya think, have fun and ride safe buddy!
Cheers Delboy! Saved me £100 + shipping on puller and installer!! I watched an old guy once use a rawlbolt (the expanding ones) to get purchase on the inner race to whack with an old axle from the other side. lol, Thanks again mate
That sounds like a neat trick with the rawl bolt. i love that kind of initiative..! glad the ideo helped you buddy..
'Silence is Golden'. Love that...work at an Amazon facility where you can clearly hear when bearings are going bad....crunchy, crunchy, crunchy! 👍🤣
I'm about to change front wheel bearings on my 250 Enduro Honda. This is so useful. I feel confident to tackle the job. Thanks Del!!
Most welcome Geoff, good luck with it buddy..
Brilliant! Replaced my rear bearings tonight, after watching your video. Not too difficult, though knocking the old bearings out with the spacer tube was a bit of job, and they were well and truly destroyed by the time I was done. The All Balls Racing kit is the way to go. Thanks a lot, Del and Penny!
Nice one buddy, glad you got is sussed, and yeah, totally agree, All Balls bearings are always the best choice! Thanks for letting us know John.... ride safe, D&Px
i got an advisory on my MOT that either reat bearings or sprocket bearings need attention . videos like this are invaluable . you dont need special tools , just an basic ability to get it done . keep up the these highly invaluable vids . 2019 and this is still good relevant information on how to learn about your motorcycle . cheers Del ...
Ah gee, thanks mate... so glad the video is still working for people and that you could use it! Good luck with yours, drop us a line if you need a second opinoin on anything, happy to help.
Holy crap, 7 years ago, ehh?? Well, its STILL the very best video I've seen on how to do it, AND its the ONLY video that has shown how to do all three rear wheel bearings. So thank you very-very much. Gotta say there, down-under, your bike looks like a Mad Max bike. :-) Loved that crazy movie. Thx again.
Thanks for your kind words, am glad you enjoyed it!
Cheers Del, watching your vids has give me the confidence to start doing work on my bike . Just changed the head stock bearings , wheel bearings, disc and pads on my 114 fat Bob. Thanks again.
Most welcome Richard, glad to help mate.
@@Moonfleet41 HD wanted to charge me for 5 hours labour for the above . Think iv actually done it quicker than them. They wanted 2 1/2 hours labour to change discs and pads , and 2 1/2 hours for head stock bearing. I bought all parts and tools for about £400 less than what they wanted to charge. Again , many thanks for your help.
@@Moonfleet41 headstock bearing on the 2018 softail is a different set up to the one in your vid so had to have a different approach, but all good ⛄️
35:13-35:26 no1 else talked about this, thanks man, seriously! Ur thorough & don’t skip over small stuff that you think we amateur @ home DIY’s should know. Watching from Chicago🍺
thanks delboy,just done mine, was worried at first but after watching you took up the challange,and i am please to say i have completed it, must tell the truth tho put the bearings in and forgot the middle bit, had to take a bearing out again to put it in, still with your help i got it done, thanks.
Nice one Graham, glad you got it sussed, and I guess this way you'll never forget that spacer tube again! Ride safe mate...
I really enjoy watching the way you do things.. It's funny i find myself finishing your sentences before you do. I guess we think the same. However, your videos are just that extra assurance that I'm doing what I'm doing right. I more then often learn new tricks and better ways of doing things from you as well. Thank you for your expertise!
Most welcome Sir, am really glad the videos can help you!
Yet again I've learnt something new that I can actually tackle with confidence. Hoping to get my scabby wheels powder coated this year so will be fitting new bearings. Fastest 45 minutes ever, don't know what it is about your videos but once I start watching one I can't turn it off, "that's a compliment" cheers guys
Thanks Si, you're very kind, im glad the videos can help you and really appreciate you watching... good luck with yours.. del.
I helped a buddy replace his front bearings on his Honda and that was a great learning process, your vid just added to the knowledge base...excellent video, cheers my friend
+Lorddarthvader1701 Thanks buddy, and good on yer for woring ti through for a buddy and getting it donw, that's what biker mates are for aye??!! Glad we could help and thanks for watching!
I learned so much from you!
Year ago on this time I just passed CBT, this year I disassembled XT600 and after two months I put it back on the road.
Thanks to you and your movies.
Hi Piotr, that is great news to hear! Am so glad that the vidoes are able to help you, keep in touch, and let us know how you get on with your projects, always happy to help!
Now we talking.Thats the way to show and do a "how to video" .Very good work and explanation and tips.
Thank you buddy, glad you enjoyed it!
Your chanel is one of the best things that have happened to me through all of my motorcycling live 👌👍
Wow, thanks, glad to help !
Thank you for video. I followed your step by step instructions on my Honda hornet and did the job in 1 hour. I had to watch it twice to make sure I did it properly. DIY always brings satisfaction and having the right tools makes the job effortless sometimes. Oh yeah I took your advice to buy the 3 bearing package and replaced all 3 instead of the one. The package was only $25usd.
Nice one buddy, glad we could save you some money, imagine what the dealer would have charged for that inc. labour, and like you say, it's great to do stuff yourself, even if it's just for the self respect and pride in your own work !
Not even in need of changing wheel bearings (yet) but just out of interest, very well explained and filmed , thank you both ! Will certainly look up more!
Thanks Chris, if you're subscribed, then you'll catch all the new uploads, we've always got something interesting uploading twice a week... glad you enjoyed! 👍
Excellent...Or should I say BRILLIANT! Your tricks of the trade are invaluable, Del. Thanks again for the information and a great video. (I think your videographer deserves a raise.)
+Bud shure Hey Bud...Thank you most kindly sir, Penny has a knack with the camera, i get some great surprises when i wath the video back... she does most of the editing as well, and makes me look good...lol thanks for watching... take care, Del.
This really helps. Just about to start an 535 Virago project and looking to get the rims powder coated and replacing the bearings. Thought I’d need a press and pay to get the job done. Reckon this is on my skill level so thanks fella👍
No need for a press buddy.. if you stick the bearing in the freezer, and warm up the wheel with a hot hair dryer (nothing hotter or you'll burn the powder coat), then the bearings will almost drop in by hand....
You are the man Delboy! I was really nervous about doing some of this stuff, but it all worked perfectly just like you demonstrated! Thank you so much for making this video and other ones like it!
You're most welcome Bill, glad the video helped you!
Thanks delboy..I was worried about doing this but you have put my mind at ease. Plus I will save money as I was about to buy tools I didn't need. Very well explained. 👍 Top man
Most welcome mate, Glad I could help!
One of the best I've seen from you so far, Del and Penny! Excellent descriptions and camera work. I really appreciated how thorough you were, and once again you have taken the mystery, trepidation and expense from a job I would have had a mechanic do in the past.
Hi John, thank you so much for your encouraging feedback... it's great to know this video has found some uses and that you've been able to get your own done off the back off it... thank you also for recognising the camera work, we take great pride in this, as we feel we owe it to our viewers to deliver the best possible we can, and it's great to know it's noticed... thank you again, and good luck with your projects !
You just saved me £100+ getting this sorted at a garage and I learned loads too. Very well made informative video, thanks guys.
Thanks buddy... great that we saved you so much money... it's a little taste of the kind of thing our You Tube Patrons enjoy every day, naturally this channel isn't free to run, our overheads are huge , so since we joined the Patreon scheme, we've been able to expand things and help more people - glad we could reach out and save you are few bucks ...
You are still till this day a legend for this awesome and perfect walkthrough - thank you
Thank you my friend, that's too kind, glad it helped you!
Can't thank you enough for this! Bearings successfully changed at the weekend - this video was invaluable. Thank you.
Most welcome Edward, really glad the video helped!
