Hey, Del. I just wanted to let you know that this video was immensely helpful in guiding me through installing the steering stem bearings on my GS750 last night. I replaced the notchy standard ball bearings with a set of fresh tapered bearings and the steering is silly smooth now!
I want to thank you and Penny for all the incredibly informative videos you've made and hope there are many more to come!
+chris ordanez Hi Chris, thanks buddy, that's really kind of you to say... we love it when people can use the videos for the greater good, and it's awesome to learn new skills aye?? You didn't just do this the once, you can now do this any time you need to, and that means it's a skill for life! Nobody owns knowledge, so it's important to spread it around as much as we all can aye?? Thanks for getting in touch, ride safe and enjoy your bike! Del & Penny!
Moonfleet41 so true buddy you have no idea how greatful I am love riding my bike but working is just as pleasurable
Just did my top set on a bandit with very little problem even though it was pretty daunting taking so much off, especially without a garage!
Unfortunately the bottom race is in a sort of flared collar so impossible to get out like you do in the video. It actually looked fine anyway, top one was the issue but for future reference any advice on how it could be done without a puller?
Brilliant informative video as ever btw, love the satisfaction of doing this stuff myself!
Del gives you the knowledge along with the courage to attempt a job like this that saves you hundreds of dollars. Thank you Del, "your the man".
Del, you're the man. Been watching your videos for years. What you're doing--spreading passion and knowledge, encouraging safety and good habits, empowering riders and home mechanics, and providing us all with resources to give it a go with confidence--is so special. My new project for my Dyna: new triple clamps, which means new stearing bearings, etc. which leads me to this video in your collection of wonderful content. I have learned so much from you. My sincerest gratitude to you and Penny for what you add to the world's motorcycle community.
-Love from Adam in Los Angeles, California, USA.
Doing this on a bit older bike, but seeing how to seat the bearings and races by just taking my time and tapping (relatively) lightly made all the difference. Thanks a million!
Del you makes the best videos ever ,so detailed and well explained. I'm glad that we have you . Ride safe mate 👊🏻
Well done, thanks. I can appreciate the utility of showing how to do this without special tools but a freezer isnt special, and the contraction of frozen parts can make a huge difference in ease of assembly. In some cases where was also able to heat the part that the frozen one was going into, I have literally been able to place the part by hand without any pounding at all. Very safe! I would have played that up a bit, and also covered that beautiful red tank with a heavy shop towel just in case. Thanks again for a free education.
Thx Del, done loads of these over 40 years but each time it is so worthwhile reminding yourself and that was perfect
All your videos have been super useful . I get all the information required to diagnose and try fixing the issue. Thanks a lot . Helps in building DIY skills.
This is just too awesome. Glad to know I'm not the only one having to make due with bare minimum tools!
Thanks Delboy after watching your vid I went and replaced my headstock bearings on my Beta 300RR with no problems.
This video is gold dust and will save me a fortune. My son crashed his Yamaha scooter and bent the front Yoke at the bottom dust seal. We need a new yoke but I foolishly thought I could re-use the bearings. Your video definitely confirms that it isn't possible so I've saved major delays waiting for the missing parts I wouldn't have ordered. Thanks a bunch Del !
As usual, very well explained. I've had this saved in a playlist for ages and today I changed my headstock bearings on my Honda VFR 800. Plain sailing and no hidden surprises, thanks guys! 😁
Most welcome Ross, glad it could help you out.. really appreciate the support..
About to do my bearings for the first time. 5 1/2 years later, this video is still relevant and helpful. Thanks for all you've done for the community.
You're most welcome buddy, and thank you for your kind words..
Another excellent video that focusses on a job that many peeps will be worried about tackling. Simple straightforward approach, no special tools just a matter-of-fact style of working. Very confidence-inspiring guys - well done.
+David Jebson (thebiglad) Thanks David, good to hear from you as ever my friend... keep safe.. D&P.
I'll be doing this job on my SV race bike, and this video is EXACTLY what I needed. I was confused about how to remove/install the races, but your tutorial is concise, telling me what I need to know without trudging through irrelevant details. Thank you.
Hi Jesse, thank you very much for your kind words my friend, am glad to know the video can help you - best of luck with it !
Many different vids to choose from. This one is the best in my opinion. Never skips a step and gets straight to the point. Thanks for the help.
Best maintenance series on YT.
Great video as usually. I like this "garage" style without many special tools. I work in same way.
Good man me too .
It's been quite a few months since I've watched your show, sorry to say. But this episode was so well done, and enjoyable to watch, I had to drop in and comment. Thank you and the Mrs. for all you do for those who watch. You're one of the Last V8's mate. Cheers
Just watched this and changed my stem bearings and races today. I did buy some tools before watching which made life easier but weren't really necessary (maybe except the adjustable stem nut spanner), but following this vid made the job far easier. Thanks.
Answered everything I needed to know - thanks for the video!
Good one Delboy.
There are other ways to get the lower bearing race off:
- notch it with an angle grinder and then give it a smart cuff with a cold chisel(need to take care to not hurt the steering stem);
- warm it up with a propane torch while inverting the stem - the bearing race will often simply drop right off (need to take care if the lower triple is aluminium).
Each method has its ups and downs unfortunately.
The best & the most sincere teacher ever. So direct & to the point, perfectly explained and demonstrated.
It really cant get any better than this. . Thank you so very much for producing such a wonderful useful Vid.
I will be covering the fuel tank on my Harley during this operation, as I'm bound to hit the tank with something for sure.
We are lucky to have you.
Thank you for your kind words my friend, good luck with your projects.
Well done and thank you for you time in making your videos. One suggestion is when you pack the bearing is to scrap the grease off your hand into the top (between the cage and the race) and through the rollers til it comes out the other side.This will guarantee solid greasing with no air gaps.
What a massively useful video. So helpful.
Thanks Sully, glad it helped you mate... thanks for watching.. Del.
Right. I'll never work on a motorcyle, but I do see lots of bearings on the lawnmowers I service at my shop. This video was fantastic, particularly the obiter dicta (the addtiional comments and observations he made while doing his work). He's a natural-born teacher.
Yes , I achieved to replace the bearings with success because of this video ..It was way easier than I thought because of the perfect explanation how to do it ! Thanks
I am done it to a Handa goldWing didn't have to move a lot of those parts. Granite the front wheel has to come off, Slide out the forks , But What you have to pay attention To Is how they fit and a rack And assembly And their FlashTo the Bearing The roller bearing top gasket Keeps the grease in Only if it fits properly And the race is the right one. I change wheel Bearings On car wheels That did not lineup. Or had a lot of play . I used 2 do this as a kid Back alley mechanic. But I always paid attention To what ever I moved
Had a bad wheel bearing on my Chevy pickup truck inside the drivers side. No problem charging. Did a wheel alignment old school stick and string. No problem truck go 95 miles and she be just purring. Miss that truck sorry got carried away.
I like how you always say "this is just a quick video" but it always ends up being around 40 minutes.
but all jokes apart; you always have the best mechanical's tips & it makes it worth watching the whole thing through. Keep up the good job mate. :)
Thanks Danny, glad you enjoy the videos..
Fantastic. I have last year bought a BMW K75 and it pulled evenly from side to side in lower speeds. I have been riding for 48 years and never experienced any thing like this. Been looking "all over Internett" to find the solution, and then watching this video you come up with the answer. Made my day. Thanks a lot. You have a new fan. By the way: well made tutorial. Great with a camera "man" 🙂
Most welcome buddy, glad the video helped you out.. good luck getting the beemer sorted out !
Thank you and to your camera girl! Just at the start of reassembly of a nuts and bolts rebuild of a Moto Guzzi 850 T3 California. It's been a labour of love, getting everything either powder-coated, re-chromed, polished or N.O.S. Stay safe!
Dell maaaate, what were you thinking? Never strike a hardened bearing with a hardened hammer or drift. It can cause a hairline fracture in the bearing. Best method would be to put the clamp in the freezer for a few hours until it reaches -10 deg c and put the bearing in the oven at 80 degrees until it reaches the 80 deg c. It would drop on without needing force and no risk of damage to the bearing or stem. This is the standard method of shrink fitting bearings used in the mechanical engineering trades. Depending on the bearing size the temperature can be raised higher. In heavy industrial fitting we use a heated oil bath to heat the bearings, but the method using the oven at up to 100 deg c is perfectly safe with no risk of damage to the bearing as they are designed to operate at much higher temperatures. If preferring to knock the bearing on a drift would be better made from copper or brass or a piece of mild steel pipe the right size.
Could we use the fork seal driver type like tool to drive this bearing onto the steering stem and possibly a ball bearing press tool with same circumference & diameter to achieve the result of putting it on ?
Always a know it all. Do it my way or its wrong.
Pam Cheney lol, you are offended and triggered by someone giving qualified experienced advice? Says a lot for ability for learning pal!!!
Have a nice day👍😂🍻
@@pamcheney3239 He was literally just offering a better way.... lol
His tapping managers are less impactful than riding the scooter
Great instructive videos , but can't help thinking you need a rubber mallet sometimes lol
I am restoring a Honda Magna vf750c 83 and a few of is Videos did help me a lot. Thank you to Delboy,s Garage.
All things explained absolutely thoroughly and clear as silver bells; thank you!
"Unless you get your self a puller, you're gonna need to beat it off."
Are ya using any lube n beating it off 😁😜🔨
Hi friend i have done a lot of bearing changing on my work also in my bike, and i would recomend not to put any grease on any of the surface were the bearing should be holded, i have seen many bearing rotate where they shouldnt, and if you grease the parts were they get seated. i know they are tight there, but in the case they get totally stuck they would start spining on the side they should be completely still, and by that completely damaging the holder side... (btw sorry my bad english typing) correct me if im wrong, but it is what i have learned by changing about maybe 5000 bearings... always lovely reviews!
Good tip. Bearings designed for interference fit, should interfere. Outer races should be the last to fail, and should not slip around. I think Delboy changes his bearings at specified intervals. We don't all do that... I think his goal is to protect the casing for as many bearing changes as possible.
I dont disagree with you but these kawasakis in particular have aluminium frames and it is reccomended in the kawasaki service manual to apply grease to the mating surfaces of the races, i imagine it is to avoid damaging the frame like you mentioned. I personally prefer to use a thin oil rarther than grease incase any gets trapped behind the race and creates a hydraulic pressure when compressed stopping it from fully seating.
Great walk through mate, I've never done this job and as ever you've equipped me with the information in the best way possible. Watching something being done with good clear explanations throughout cannot be valued too highly.
+pgod1960 Thanks Peter, like anything, its easy of you know how, and the kind of job that scares most people.. but once you see it done through step by step, its not so bad,... good to hear from you sir.. hope you're enjoying the Harley..... take care, D&P.
One of the best repair video I ever saw. He is organized,great details on each section great explanation
The grime on your hand you mentioned, goes into the bearings.
eh its most a pigment than heavy stuff :P dont worry too mutch !
remind me never to bring my bike to you lol did the bearings still fit after mauling that poor steering stem within an inch of it's life
Nothing better than a straight to the point informative technical guide.
Utube should have 2 versions. Your concise no mucking around type then the um ah um painful to watch style.
Many thanks mate !!
I know this is an old vid but just wanted to say thanks for these videos. I am a complete novice when it comes to bike mechanics but with you videos, I've changed both front and rear wheel bearings on my old Hornet; rebuilt brake reservoirs and even tackled the timing on the hornet; changed oil, seals and springs on the forks of a 125 Varedero and I'm about to tackle the headrace bearings on my ST1100 which means I'll be there a week just taking of the fairings lol!! Great info and well detailed mate, thank you very much.
My word, thank you Phil, that's really very kind of and am so glad the video could help you - it's an honour to be able to reach out and help your fellow riders.. good luck with the job, and drop us a line if you need, always happy to pass on a second opinion if you need it... all the best, D&Px
Making it up as you go along, beating a chisel between the hard bearing and soft aluminium yoke was painful to watch especially on a motorcycle!! turn upside down and use the flame from a windproof lighter or gas soldering iron concentrated on the bearing surface and it will drop off and nothing is damaged. failing that buy a puller
Old video.. have a puller set now.. thanks for the lighter tip.!
like your vids! What works even better(than a lighter), is carefully "touching" the bearing with a dremel tool with a grinding disk! This generates a lot more heat than a lighter! Never bothered buying a puller!
Yawn .
Great video. but your on the fly maths need work ha ha. 1990 is 26 years ago I'm sorry to say not 16.
+dstaffx Yeah must try harder, told ya I was an idiot - it's actually a 1999 bike which does make it 16 yrs old -- Penny does the maths, I do the spanners lol (don't tell her that ha ha)
Thanks for the tutorial, I'm replacing triple trees on my sportster with mid glide.
I was ready to buy expensive tools I would never use again
you saved me some money thanks again
I’ve literally watched this video three times out of the three times I’ve changed neck bearings. Thank you for this video!
Tip. Never hit two hardened surfaces together with a hammer,.use a copper mallet or aluminium block.
Looks like it is brass claw hammer to me
I guess in the deepest Sibiria are better mechanics. This video shoes how not to do.
Even not a rusty push bike I will bring in such a hillbilly garage.
Very very helpful video jus paid allmost 400 to get my fork seal s done aN they realized I need new bearings as well aN that they want 200 for 100 bucks an hour but I can do it my self after this video aN I have change over 50 head sets on bikes aN it’s all the same idea ! Great vid awesome job describing what your doing as ya go exactly what I needed to get it done thanks for taking the time to make this vid !!!!!!
i seem to find the videos for the jobs i need to do on my bike exactly when i need them THANKS MAN lifesaver
Keep coming back to these videos as a good step by step guide when trying new jobs on my motorcycles. Big thank you to Delboy and of course the person behind the camera for producing such good quality content
Thank you so much for those kind words, it's really appreciated, we just try to capture the jobs step by step, and it's great to know that they have helped you out! Keep safe and well there, we both appreciate your support!
@@Moonfleet41 You can tell a lot of thought has gone into it so well done. It's videos like yours that take the fear out of servicing and even restoring motorcycles
Thanks Delboy
I have built and restored a few bikes and found your videos extremely helpful
You definitely have a talent for getting the message across
Glad to help Tim, and thank you for your support!
Excellent tutorial. By the end of this build you will have demystified many of the jobs that most owners are not confident enough to try themselves. Even if I have to pay a shop to do the job, at the very least, I will have an understanding of what is entailed. Thanks Del
+trackdog90 Exactly that my friend, even if you don't do it yourself, it's nice to know what's involved - thanks Del
Great videos! They really helped me doing maintenance on my bike. Even though I have a repair manual, your little tricks make things a lot easier!
Thanks Buddy, im glad the video could help you.. good luck with your projects..
Many thanks for this video! I'm in the process of replacing my head stock bearings now and didn't have a bearing puller to hand. Nice to know it can be done with conventional tools.
Recently buyed a 2nd hand ducati monster. Allready changed alot of things myself. But with your how to's Mr. Del I can do so much more for less money. Thanks alot and greetz from Belgium.
Thanks Kevin, glad it could help... enjoy your project, great bike, have loads of fun mate!
Hi Delboy and Penny! I am so glad I found you. Your videos are the most thorough, educational, and fun to watch, on the entire World Wide Web. We are working on 2 new-to-us sportsters. You always show the bit that's missing in other videos. Your tips and tricks always work for me. Thank you. Keep up the good work. I hope you enjoy as much success as you care to have. I will continue to enjoy learning all you have to teach.
Hello Scott, thank you so much for your kind words, we're glad to hear the videos can help you out.. congratulations on your new Sportsters, we wish you both many happy and safe miles! All the very best, D&Px
I admire you attention to detail. One of the best mechanics I have seen on UA-cam
Thank you my friend, am glad you appreciate the video...
as always another awesome vid bud, I've just finished replacing the fork oil and fitted new seals, changed the front wheel bearings, resprayed the front mudguard and the front wheel plus got all the bolts & fittings for the front end wire brushed & cleaned off and now looking all shiny & new again with a few coats of lacquer ready to go back on my own little Yammy cafe racer dirt bike so I may as well check the headstock steering bearings when I'm at it... it looks like these days your my main GO TO youtube channel for a heads up on do it yourself mechanics & bike maintenance !! a bootneck HOOYAH to ya & Bestest to you both.
Nice and clear again with loads of explanations. It really comes across that you have a good understanding of what you are doing and are not just bodging it to make a video as so many seem to do, so we know that we can have confidence in your counsels. Thank you both again.
Thank you for your kind word. Much appreciated!
Super instruction video! I learn a ton from your teaching! Now I'm not intimidated with this kind of job. Knowledge is everything. Thank you so much for taking your time to create this video!
You are most welcome my friend, im glad it could help you... knowledge is power aye..! Good luck. Del.
I was cleaning some carburetor pieces awhile back. Backsplash happened and I caught the fluid with my eye. Sweet mother of pearls that burned something fierce. Lesson learned? I use eye protection a lot more often now! But we all take calculated risks; use it if you like. Thanks for another great video!!
lol...I leant the hard way too
+Rob Pratten Thats nasty aye Rob, any garage is a dangerous place, its all about risk assessment...
+Rob Pratten lol I reckon that's got to be the most common eye injury, catches almost everyone out, but you only ever used pressurised carb cleaner to clean your float bowls once lol... but it does make a great story down the pub
Del another thanks on this task. I’ll be replacing the bearings on my 535 project and along with your wheel bearing video I reckon it’s work I can do and save some money. Nice 1 fella👍
The best channel on the internet. Anyone else would have shown this with thousands invested in specialty tools that only a factory shop could hope to have. Thanks to you and your excellent camera gal.
Thank you for such kind words of support..👍. We're glad the videos can help.
Dude, your videos came to my rescue like Gandalf at Helms Deep. What a relief. Thank you.
Glad to help !
This was very helpful to watch before I undertook this job on my bike. Thank you
Excellent video!! I gotta be honest, I've never carried out this sort of thing and I found your easy going description and practical demo really helpful and it really empowered me to give it a go! Thanks for posting this!!
Thanks Mick, glad we could inspire you, good luck with it, and feel free to give us a shout if you get stuck, always happy to help - let us know how you get one! All the best, D&P !
Thank you this video will come in handy when I rebuild my KDX200. I had read about putting the cups in the freezer but what you said makes sense and you certainly made it look easy.
Thank you from France to share this video.
I done same operation this afternoon with out problems
And I didn't squeeze my fingers. ;-)
you sir are bloody brilliant. used a few of your vids and found them so helpful. You've an excellent teaching manner to dude. top bloke.
Very informative .
I bought my Yamaha FZR 150(1996, only produced in Taiwan), and the bearing needs some changes.
Thank you for showing us the process.👍🏽👍🏽
I'd like to add my thanks. This video gave me the confidence to tackle this job - my bike was indeed different and I needed some other tools and techniques but the principles were the same. Thanks again.
That's great news mate, we're so glad to hear that the video helped you in some way and you got the job done! Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated, ride safe!
Just done my head stock bearings on my ZXR 750 H1 following this video. Thanks so much, so helpful, so educational and worked a treat. Thanks so much Delboy
You're most welcome buddy, it's an honour to be contributing to such an iconic bike!
I was lucky that the lower bearing came off really easy , I used a couple of tyre levers.
I took loads of pics on my mobile phone , I used a brass billet with a hole in it to use like a slide hammer .
Like any job once done you learn a lot for the next time.
I think a sequence of very short instructions from my workshop manual gave me confidence to complete the job, a Great video del , the improvement on the bike has made this job well worth doing.
Great video
Thanks Del, I followed your video and changed my headstock bearings on my Aprilia. It was the first time I’ve ever tried this and your instructions were spot on, thank you so much 👍🏼😎
Most welcome buddy, am glad the videos could help you!
Nice vid del great cam work from penny. Just saved me 150 pounds on a seal press this is what it is all about best wishes.
+Albert heaton Hi Albert....you dont need no special tools... just common sense and some time..! go gid' ur' done..
Just started replacing my steering bearings to my cbr600f and found this video brilliant with some top tips. Keep em coming Del Boy 👍
Thanks Andrew, appreciate your support, glad it went well!
Best video. I'm a woman and this was a great video for me to learn how to do my own repairs thank you.
My gsxf750 just failed its mot on notchy head bearings . I stripped it all down and nothing wrong but changed them anyway following your vid. Cheers pal you just saved me well over 200 squid 👍
In the midst of 72 Commando rebuild, your uploads have been just the ticket - Thank you
Thanks Kevin, appreciate you watching - good luck with your own project!
Very well demonstrated and excellently explained down to earth job no fancy tools done the old fashioned way thanks for the video great job
This video has been a massive help today. Changed out my headstock bearings on my old honda without much trouble! Thank you
Glad it helped, and glad it went well, thanks for the feedback!
I am tackling the head bearings in my KLR 600 next week. This has helped a lot to give me the confidence to go ahead with the tools I have available.
Good to hear it Rabbie, have a good time and drop us a line if you get stuck, always happy to lend a second opinion of you need.... take care. Del.
That was a great how to tutorial! I am glad you emphasized the proper way to pack the bearing with grease. I've seen others on youtube that just wipe the grease on and not pack it in. The entire job was professional and I have no hesitation to do the same job on my bike. Thanks again...from the colonies. :-)
Most welcome mate, glad you enjoyed it and glad it could help you.
just used your method and it worked wonderfully! thanks so much, you saved me from buying specialty tools Id rarely use!
Greetings from Germany and a huuuge huge "Dankeschön" for your video. It was a tremendous help!!! I changed the bearings today and everything worked like you described! All the best for you.
Thank you for your kind feedback Sir, im glad the videos have helped you. All the best to you.. take care Del.
We need more of these kind of videos on UA-cam. Brilliant.
Truly a god amongst men. I've always come to your videos for guidance and i've no doubt you've saved me thousands over the past nearly 10 years of fixing my shitty bikes. Really appreciate it!
Most welcome mate, glad to help.
You are a legend!! Again just saved myself another $380! Parts ordered and will be doing this when the parts show up. Thank you!
Sounds like you need to subscribe aye... lol
You explain like teacher. Great task you are doing.
What a brilliant video, I do all my own maintenance but have never needed to do this specific job before and I'm not going to lie I was nervous about it until I watched this video, thank you.
I've subscribed and saved this video and your channel will be my first stop for any future jobs that I'm unsure on. :)
Thanks
Jake
Thank you Jake, thats very kind feedback, and im glad the video has inspired a little confidence... its just the fear of the unknown like you say.. Thank you for your sub and support, good luck with yours, and feel free to drop me a line if you get stuck. im online most days... take care.. Del.
your energy is infectious , really enjoyed the video mate.
Del, great video and instruction! Props to you and your "camera man" - I'm finishing up a Busa front fork swap on my 2004 Bandit 1200S today and this helped me out quite a bit(bearing replacement). By the way, anyone who says the swap is "just a steering stem swap" on the Busa lower triple tree obviously never did it themselves. It's doable, but the journey to way more involved - 32 Newcastle and a 12 pack of Stella for starters..the list goes on.
Hi Matt.. I hear that a lot (how this or that swap, is "just a simple stem change" ) and it so isn't, all the little details is what takes the time and patience aye.. Good luck with yours, let us know how it handles once you get out for a play..?
hello guys! you just "feel" me with this video. great tutorial. i've replaced the ball bearings on my honda dominator 250. thank you so much. 'will ride next week/hopefully/ and post some pics.
Hey man you did a great job here. Thanks for the time you invest to help others. You are essential on this planet, and thanks to UA-cam too. Without UA-cam and guys like you the planet would not be the same. Gros merci du Québec mon ami!
Hi Serge, thank you for your kind comments, it's humbling to recieve such appreciation... don't know how we got in to this ha ha but it's gone beyond a hobby a long time ago and become a lifestyle... glad the videos can help you and apprecaite you watching, great to know we have viewers so far away !
:-)
If you like doing your own maintenance this channels is gold.
Great vid. Got rid of my fear of doing this and now its done on my BMWF650GS. Thanks heaps.
Another great 👍 well explained video. Gives you the confidence to tackle a job that you normally wouldn’t
Thanks 👍
Really helped give me the confidence to give it a go and this afternoon my bikes gone from yucky rusty horrible bearing to looking like new! Thanks del boy!
Thanks buddy, glad the video could help you... that's what we load them up for !
Ducati wanted £260 to replace the steering head bearings on my Scrambler which im miffed about because its only done 5000 miles !!
So i decided to to it myself.Checking eBAY i found the part for £21 and that's needle roller rather than the stock ball bearing.
Dellboy does an excellent job of explaining how to avoid the pit fulls (the job is tricky in places) with that in mind i took my time and i was able to complete the job start to finish in 6 hours.
Im now confident i will always be able to do this work on any bike i own because the work is largely repetitive.
Im also chuffed i got a little one over on Greedy Thieving motorcycles.
So thanks Dellboy,knowledge is power!!
I'm probably the only bloke with a Street Triple who doesn't wheelie so my head stock bearings are OK but its good to see how easy it is to change them.
Nice one Del.
easily the best video on the neck bearings!
I mean damn I'm seriously glad I didn't throw away the old bearing seats or whatever they're called now!
