Why not just take the wheel hub off so you don’t have to take apart all those suspension parts?
@seannykraynak15 күн бұрын
Of course I know “just” take the wheel hub off in the rust belt is kinda whimsical to say but I feel like it would still be easier than undoing the control arm, links, and ball joint/tie rod. Or is there something preventing that approach?
@langspeedcycle12 күн бұрын
You can't pivot the knuckle enough to get the axle out. The axle needs to come out before removing the hub because the mounting bolts are on the inside of the knuckle

Bro the fact that it has a kick start makes it worth rebuilding from the ground up. They don't make those anymore. I have a honda 750 that has a kick start and it's locked up, Im keeping it for that fact alone.

Just accomplished this today. I took my time and thanks to your video, it was easy! The only task is when the ball joints begin to spin. Oh and I had to partially disassemble again because I forget to reinstall the flat washer between the knuckle and axle. 😂

I have this same bike. Fuck that petcock. I rebuilt mine and still got gas everywhere trying to get it to work. You really need to get that airbox back on, these bikes are tuned for the flow restriction of the stock airbox. Mine was a mess, I did what I could with silicone and foam weatherstripping.

Dude I agree. Yeah that airbox is crucial to tuning the carbs right! Ignore the internet saying you can without them

Your video gave me the confidence to replace mine and save $$$. So easy! Thanks for taking the time and helping so many of us wanabe gear heads! I ordered my axle (TrakMotive) from RockAuto and in the install instructions, it said in ALL CAPS NOT to put any lubrication, grease or anti seize on the splines or threads. I thought it odd to say that, but I did what they said. It seemed to have a coating of light oil on it already. I suppose each manufacturer might be different but thought I would mention this just in case. Probably makes sense to read the instructions if any come with the parts. Thanks again for posting!

So there is a clip on the inner splines of the axle that keep it in the differential, and you need to use a popping/snapping motion to take it out!
