CRF300L Rally front wheel removal

Correction: the internal hex (allen) at the begginning is 14mm

[@17ukjonnyt]

Just fitted my wheel and was unsure about the gap between the RH spacer and the axle, good to see that it was normal. Thanks very much for the video ;)

[@mcdonaldslover52]

thanks for this video - got a 300L and always prefer watching bike specific videos for this, every bike has its kink

[@gonzaloluna1989]

It is not a 12 mm! It has to be bigger, I looked at your video and went by that. It was too SMALL

[@berny1er]

It's true, it is a 14mm

[@RideyRodney]

My CRF250L is a 14mm, I’m guessing the 300l is 14mm too.

[@Toya4x4]

I measured on my CRF 300LA (MY2022) and it is 14mm. Perhaps you would like to make a comment in the film and give the correct info.

[@lonniehargrave9381]

Yes, drove 30 min to get the 12mil at a shop. Got home, bummer. Got it the next day.

Hi , we need a SUPERPINION ( BEST front sprocket just like SUPERPINION ) for our CRF300L / THX for forward around

[@FrozenHaxor]

Your torque for the two pinch bolts is totally incorrect. It's not 6 foot-pound, it's 16. The actual spec is 22 Nm. Your spec for the axle bolt was correct, 69 Nm. You also are supposed to compress the forks a couple of times before tightening down the two pinch bolts, doing so will prevent any binding of the pistons inside the forks due to misalignment.

thanks, very helpful

[@airadaimagery692]

Subscribed! Did you do a video on the rear wheel?

[@DaBinChe]

not yet, will soon

[@Mojo545]

Why would Honda go with this 14mm allen key for the front axel? Its so odd.

[@DaBinChe]

internal so it doesn't get damage compared to external in a crash

[@paulo1787]

Good vid, appreciated 👍

[@phantomshtter]

How the f*** is it a good video when he's literally quoting the wrong size tool?🤷🤷🤷

[@alyrealty]

Thank you grerat video for someone who has never done it before.

[@phantomshtter]

Yeah great video, go buy a 12 mm socket when it's actually a 14.

[@leeknievel748]

But why didnt you go ahead on those pinch bolts and use your torque wrench anyway?

[@DaBinChe]

I have enough experience to go by feel

[@leeknievel748]

@@DaBinChe Well, ok, so do I but i'd rather be exact lol

[@DaBinChe]

@@leeknievel748 somethings you can get away with some not. I would use a torque wrench on engine internals but most everything outside that I'm confident enough in my skills not to.

[@phantomshtter]

​@DaBinChe Yeah your skills are so honed you jack up a wheel before breaking the fasteners and you can't even read the correct socket size. "iT's A 12mM"🤪 You have NO BUSINESS making how to videos!

[@ChrisGough-kn2wj]

Just measured axle allen flat to flat on my 2021 is 14MM not 12

[@alexjones-qe5gc]

It’s not 12mm I just went to the store and bought one

[@justinpare646]

Do you have a rear removal video?

[@DaBinChe]

I thought I made one, but guess not. I'll make one when I need to remove it.

[@phantomshtter]

​@@DaBinChe You gonna tell him the wrong tool size like you didn't this video?
