@@cjhoyle Hey, I totally agree with the top commenter here, so thank you. Just one piece I learned somewhere else which I haven't tried yet myself because I don't have a cone wrench, so I just leave it here you might find it worthy of considering: someone said that it's better to rotate the cone until it touches on the ball bearings so it makes the so called tight bearing, then move the lock nut close so it touches the cone also. Then, tighten the cone counter-clockwise against the luck nut with the cone wrench while keeping the luck nut still. Supposedly it makes things fall into that fine adjustment in a fewer tries. One have to try it though. Thanks again man.

That is without a doubt the single clearest explanation of adjusting cup and cone bearings I have ever seen. That bit at about ten minutes in where you talked about how the rotation can be transferred to the different parts was absolute gold to me since I have been struggling to understand how tightening the lock nut sometimes seemed to have the effect of loosening the cone and sometimes tightening it - I haven't found that explained anywhere else; everyone just said, 'Hold the cone in position and tighten the lock nut.' As other people have said, _that_ is how to do an instructional video. Thank you!

Thank you thank you! I paid $40 bucks to an old man who just didn't correctly replaced my hub shaft, so I'm learning to do it myself the right way. The 4:06 part, this is such a valuable important tip I couldn't find anywhere else. I was dealing with this situation today, and wondering what was going on (I was under the assumption I needed to tight both cones as tightly as possible, while allowing some play, but not too much not too little) but the bolt became loose after spinning the wheel, because I didn't put these bolts where they should go. Moral of the story. Learn to do this yourself, takes some time but you'll end up with new skills, and save up money ( or avoid getting ripped off like me). Your channel deserves way more subs. Cheers

Great video. First time replacing an axle, kept overtightening the cones and pinching the bearings. I've got it right now thanks these instructions. Just for future reference, I picked up a set of thin wrenches from Home Depot that can do the same job as a cone wrench. While it's good to have that specialized wrench, the set has 12 different sized wrenches - 6 sae and 6 metric - so you have a lot of variety for different jobs. Great to have if you work on more than just this one project.
