New rider here, I recently replaced the front wheel bearings on my 1st bike thanks to the help of this video. I used a homemade press like you showed with washers on a threaded rod, worked like a charm. I've since gone down a rabbit hole of watching your videos, solid channel content keep up the awesome work!

Does it matter which way the rim is installed on the bike? I mean is there a difference whether the smaller hole is on the left or the right side? In the rear wheel it's obvious due to the sprocket but does it matter at the front?

Yes it does very much, obviously your tyre is rotational and it must rotate in a forward direction according to the arrows on the side wall, and if it is a cast aluminium wheel, check on the castings on the spokes, they often have an arrow there too to indicate rotation.

I have a 2008 GSF1250 SA. The manual says to install the right wheel bearing then the spacer followed by the left bearing, leaving "clearance" between the spacer and the left bearing. The spacer is longer than the distance between the bearing seats. I obviously installed them wrong because the spacer was wedged in between. So for my second go, how much "clearance" is appropriate? and I'm assuming the proper way is to keep checking the clearance as the bearing gets close? Or is there a depth measurement?
@Moonfleet41
@Moonfleet41 Жыл бұрын
"Clearance" just means to NOT wedge the spacer tube solid.. press the second bearing in gently, stop once you feel it seat, and then the tube should be able to shift under light pressure so it can line up with the axle... to my knowledge there is not measurement !

Hi mate, i actually didn't make those discs to any specific size, they about 60mm in diameter with a hole big enough to take the threaded rod... as long as they overlap the outer ring of the bearing and press flat against it they work fine.. and if i want to push more precisely, i use a socket that very slightly smaller than the bearing outer..Hope that helps you mate, and good luck with yours..

Next bearing change ill need a bearing puller for sure because i wont be able to tap them out with a drift. Am I good for now though?

Yes mate, not loose so that it moves side to side in the wheel, there should be no plan between the bearings, but it should only kiss each bearing gently so that if you stick your finger in the hole, you should be able to shift the tube around with some effort.

Hi del, im putting in new wheel bearings, the bearings should be flush(tight) against the spacer yes? Holding it in place? The spacer shouldnt be moving around or wiggling around right? It should be held in place by the bearings? (05 fz6) I did it this way, but noticed that if the bearings are pressing against the spacer, the bearings arent actually rotating freely and take a fair bit of effort to get them to move by my fingers, did I do it correctly??? Is this normal?

Snug against the spacer tube, but not tight so it's jammed, and the race should rotate by hand though the action may be firm not slack..

Ho Johny, Its pretty simple stuff, often made so much easier just to see it done aye.. . I made the steel discs from some 5mm plate, drilled a hole then just made them round with a grinder.. works fine.. .and with the sockets, the trick is to use a socket thats the same size as the outer ring of the bearing (or very slightly smaller), and then they press exactly on the outer steel ring and not the bearing grease cover..!! last year i invested in a 3/4 drive jumbo socket set, big money, but so useful now.. i have sockets right out to 48mm, great for top yoke centre nuts, big wheel axle nuts, and of course a great range of bearing press dies..lol..

As an absolute rule all bearing seals (if you examine them) have a 'closed' side and an 'open' side, it may visually vary in looks, but no matter what, one side will always look slightly open and the other sealed, they always fit with the open side facing inwards to keep the grease in and then the outside sealed face to keep the dust out... it's a general rule for all oil seals buddy

Hi Del, nice job. Maybe a quick word about never, ever re-using a bearing that's been pulled by it's centre, even if it seems in perfect nick afterwards. Always break the outer race BEFORE you bin it - then flick the balls at one another : )

Thank you very much!! That is my job for this weekend. Got the bearing puller set and bearings hopefully arriving before then. I just have to forage for the bits to assemble that press dooda thingiemabobs. :) I was also going to change fork oil but I'm doing it the lazy way, unscrewing the top and dumping it out with the all the dampening rod assembly still intact. I hope I can get away with it because I don't have a sharpened broom handle to hold the cartridge assembly in place and I have no help, as usual.... Anyway, really helpful video, thanks again and best wishes to you and Penny. :)

Hi Del, Your vid has been great help, I've watched it a dozen times in preparation for removing my front wheel to replace the bearings, however I've encountered a problem and wondered if you could help. I managed to remove 3 of the 4 pinch bolts, however I have stripped one of the allen heads to a point where it no longer bites. What are my options at this stage? Thanks for your videos, they do help me a lot.

Hi there.. IM not sure which pinch bolts you mean for a wheel bearing replacement, do you mean the fork yoke pinch bolts maybe?.. either way, with any stripped out allen heads, you can take a 'Torx" bit, one that doesn't quite fit in the hole, then take a small hammer and tap it gently into the hole so it bites on the head.. and you can usually shift it... give that a go and see how you get on mate.. Good luck.. Del.

@@Moonfleet41 Hi Del. Sorry to bother you I know you are a busy man, but in regards to the torx bits. The T40 bit is a bit too slack, and the T45 seems a little bit too big - am I better off grinding the t45 down a bit to get it to fit? I don't really have the tools to grind it so I might just be better of taking it to mechanic.

@@hunterjg777 No, that's correct... the T45 is the one you need, it needs to be a bit too big, and if you can, line up the splines of the torx bit with the corners in the screw head, and then tap it in with a small hammer till it reaches the bottom, all the way in... it will chew its way in and jam completely, which is what you need... the torx bit is very hard and the screw head is very soft, so once you apply pressure to the torx bit to rotate it, it usually chews it's way in to the screw head peeling off shavings between the splines and it locks up and should crack the screw open... it may cost you the torx bit, but they're cheaper than a mechanic and easy to replace, that's what tools are for! Give that a try and let us know how you get on Sir.

@@Moonfleet41 it seems like the t45, although I did get it in, didn't stick. Is it worth trying the t50? It seems it might be a bit too large? What are my options now? It's just the one pinch bolt on the left side that's left as well

How do you keep the opening ends of the bearings clean? (when you have the wheels on). Do you just keep on top of them with some WD40? I'm referring to when the wheels are still on, just the opening area. Had my wheels replaced recently and it seemed a lot of grit road salt got in that area.

Your bearings should live behind the dust seal, which you saw me fit at the end (the two black rubber rings), these have a soft lip round the inside, like a mini fork seal, that seals against the axle and prevents water getting in... Also, if you look at the blue ring on the bearing itself, that is also a dust and water seal to keep the water out... so unless you jet wash the bike and do silly things like squirt the water at the bearing, then they should stay dry in there...

I find a hot air gun and infrared thermometer (£15 amazon) helps when removing and installing bearings. Usually 80C is enough. Loving the look already minus the fairings and screen. Fair play to you fella!
