In my FSM for my 1976, it calls for the 3 bearing set as shown in this video. But the illustration only addresses a spoke wheel hub. My bike has the 7 spoke cast mags, which upon disassembly only had 2 bearings, one pressed in on left side in bolt on hub, the right it was pressed into hub inside the brake drum. Is another bearing supposed to be in there with a drum brake set up??? There appears to be a recess in the shoe backing plate, but there was only another spacer when I took it apart??

[@TatroMachine]

i don't know how your wheels were made but if it has timken bearings than two is enought. with the stock smaller ball bearings you need three of them. tatro

[@chrisrestifo7010]

They were sealed balls bearings

I hate when the "Previous Mechanic" puts shit together wrong. Good thing you suspected an issue and looked it up in the manual. Great job Tatro.

[@TatroMachine]

tomduncan1970 must have been the lack of sleep. i had to look up something. tatro

Man I wish someone made a flange adapter to go from that 10 hole to the five hole star flange so I can run a srotor on a invader rear wheel so i wouldend have to weld one on and ruin that pretty chrome

[@TatroMachine]

just go for it. you have the need so do it. tatro

@@TatroMachine lol ya i guess your right

[@kultbotcustomshop3849]

will hubs from same size rear rim off different bike work for the ironhead? i have a softail rear wheel , trying to piece together an ironhead. thanks tatro

[@TatroMachine]

only stock parts bolt on, everything else you have to make fit. a disc to drum conversion will require major modes to the complete bike. that would include wheel, brakes, brake foot controls and shifter. tatro

@@TatroMachine thank you so much !

[@justinbooth489]

Do you stake,or peen, the locknut like the manual calls for? I wonder if its just as effective now to use blue loctite. Or should i just torque it on like you did and thats it?

[@TatroMachine]

i would just loctite the nut. tatro

[@erichsteffen3174]

Thanks Tatro, Do I need to pump the hub full of grease after rebuilding the hub with new shielded bearing?

[@TatroMachine]

only if you are a dumbass. makes for a big mess. just grease the bearings and no extra. tatro

[@erichsteffen3174]

The new bearings are shielded. How do you grease sheilded bearings? Thanks again Tatro!

[@TatroMachine]

pull the shield off. use sealed bearings if they are ball type. grease timken bearings. tatro

[@danieljovanovski3961]

Hey Tatro, what was that blue loctite stuff you put in the hub before inserting the bearings? Im thinking i need some of that stuff

[@TatroMachine]

loctite 640 or 64040 sleeve retainer. it is thick and sticky green. tatro

[@danieljovanovski3961]

Thank you! also how necessary is it for the balance weights on the rim? I dont have counter weights and im trying to ride!!

[@TatroMachine]

that depends on how fast you ride and how far out of balance it is. just look at my videos and you can see the different ways i do balancing. tatro

[@danieljovanovski3961]

Thanks Tatro!!! ive been building my 78 IH from ground up only using your videos and my Clymer manual! rock on

[@stephenbailey9970]

Not a good video.

[@saxshing]

Tatro, have you got a part number or link to the correct replacement bearings?

[@TatroMachine]

no, that is what parts books are for and a caliper. tatro

[@larryratcliff4867]

Where can I get that tool

[@TatroMachine]

what kind of tool or tools? tatro

[@larryratcliff4867]

Tatro Machine that retainer tool

[@TatroMachine]

my tool was custom made but there are similar ones available from ted cycle and maybe jims. tatro
