      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 !

    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.

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!

    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.

  • @tjjusten6266
    @tjjusten6266 4 роки тому +4

    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).

  • @petefroud5308

    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 👍

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  Рік тому

      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.

  • @KillswitchQueen
    @KillswitchQueen 8 років тому +7

    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.

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  8 років тому +2

      +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

    • @KillswitchQueen
      @KillswitchQueen 8 років тому

      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!

    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.

      ​@@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.

    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.

    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 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 !

    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!

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.
