Replacing Linkage Bearings With Simple Tools

[@MrDVS2U]

Fantastic Morgan! Thank you for taking time out of your busy work schedule to prepare these instructional videos! Not many people realize the time it takes to video edit as well!

[@highlandcycles]

Thanks so much

[@manko330]

Thanks......... Made the Job Easy......Not having to Buy More Tools.

Got a broken bearing race stuck in my 93 kdx200 linkage. Going out to hit it with the dremel and grinding bit now. Thanks for the info! Stay safe! EDIT: I didn't have the proper grinding bit. I had to hand file a few weak spots into the race the use a dead blow and flat head to break it where I filed it. Tedious but it got it out!

[@highlandcycles]

Good work

[@eman4k23]

Bro thanks I was struggling on this

[@canadianshark74]

Great Vid. Nice to see it completed with simple tools. Although I do like my Motion Pro linkage bearing kit.

[@highlandcycles]

For sure.

[@painsrides3616]

Perfect... the time is coming shortly for this job on my machine.

[@highlandcycles]

Sweet

[@mschumaker1]

about to do this on my bike. Does it matter what side it goes in/out from or can it go from either side? thanks

[@highlandcycles]

No

[@jamesking4225]

Windex does well in ultrasonic cleaner ,even on gold and silver

Estamos assistindo aqui no Brasil 👍🇧🇷

[@highlandcycles]

Bueno!!

[@1176hambone]

where do we gat that punch tool? Whats it called?

[@highlandcycles]

I got it from Snapon. Not sure what they call it other than a large drift or large punch

[@RideWithTheWolf]

I did my linkage (05) and there's still a few mm of play at the knuckle ...

[@highlandcycles]

Could be that the bolts and races are worn. A little bit of wear on all of the parts will cause play when all added together if that makes sense.

[@danielmalone101]

The ultrasonic cleaner!

[@Adudenamederq]

yeah I was looking for the Highland cycles link for that. Anyone have it?

jeez wish mine would come out that easy the vice is about to rip out of the table still isn’t budging

[@highlandcycles]

Dang. Sometimes you have to cut them.

[@theallenhaynesjr2375]

Can make a video on replacing the swing arm bearings

[@highlandcycles]

I will when we get that job in the shop

[@SeatTime]

I'm always looking for "better purchase".

[@senor7857]

WTF that twisted finger looool 6:07

[@highlandcycles]

Oh yeah. That is a long story and a big crash

[@ryanluedtke3440]

Who is the weak minded person thumbs downing this video..

[@ccright8285]

I wandered the same thing

[@highlandcycles]

No kidding?!? Haters gonna hate

[@rmz4504]

Put some heat to it, slide right out

[@jksoft1208]

Yep, I always start with the heat before resorting to any grinding. Also use a brass punch instead of a steel punch to minimize damage.

[@robertococcia9815]

Hi hilandbike you mean original set bearings are better of allballs bearings kit?? Bye

[@highlandcycles]

Yes
