I have never seen snap ring pliers like that! Thats awesome! I will have to get a pair!! Great video!

[@rockspowersports]

They work great.

[@gsmit297]

What kind are they?

[@BenjaminBaker29]

These videos should be played in school! These videos are fun to watch, but teach a bunch! I live watching them! Jeep up the good work brother!

[@rockspowersports]

Thanks, I really appreciate that!

[@joea7697]

Love your content, keep up the good work

[@rockspowersports]

Thanks!

[@jamiejohnston4983]

You made that look smooth and easy. I usually say a lot of choice words and throw a wrench or 2 and swear next time I will hire it done

[@adrienfortin4411]

Great video as always. I just took my sportsman out of winter storage today. Put air in tires, greased it and did air filter.

[@rockspowersports]

Nice, it’s getting to be that time of year!

[@georgehuffert1800]

I seen you use the same snap ring pliers I use them to it makes taking snap ring off almost effortless and since I do have a 85 Husqvarna that is mostly put together with snap ring

[@rockspowersports]

They work great! Much better than the plier style ones.

[@reddirtrider6190]

Awesome video as always, I’d love to see a shop tour, love seeing people doing great work and not having a top of the line shop to do it in !

[@luvthesnow]

Great videos. You must be pretty rural to be able to leave all that stuff out like that!

[@rockspowersports]

Thanks, glad you enjoy them. And yes I do live in the middle of nowhere.

[@thomasitta]

I've always wanted to open a small engine repair shop, atv/ and snowmobile

[@donwalters8877]

I have a 09 foreman 500 eps, best machine I ever owned

[@rockspowersports]

I had a 07 foreman 500 without the eps for a little while. It was a great dependable machine.

[@johnnugent6516]

Another Great Job I like how you’re straight up and no short cuts that’s the way I am do it right the first time Arkansas Wavin

[@brucemacdonald4672]

Another great job. ☃️👍👍

[@grousehunter67]

Haha your killing me i miss my Rubicon the ride is a back killer for me now

[@rockspowersports]

I really do like the Rubicon’s but there is much better riding trail machines for sure.

[@lordpyrjzn1859]

16in of snow here in Maine

[@rockspowersports]

Showing around 14” for here.

[@Jonathan_From_TT]

Howdy duty from indiana love to when you upload

[@pyralux01]

No alignment needed or possible?

[@markbuck9299]

Simple enough setup !! Not sure why Honda wouldn’t use disc brakes on them ??

[@rockspowersports]

It took Honda a while to switch over to disk brakes.

[@swanson3k]

Hope to see some CF Motos on here soon 😏

[@rockspowersports]

Should have a sxs coming soon. Just for a test drive/review.

[@Pjw350]

Love the content. Do you typically use all balls bearing kits? What about the wheel cylinders? What brand do you trust for those?

[@Pjw350]

Those drum brake setups are lots and lots of labor- you make it look easy.

[@rockspowersports]

I do use All balls quite a bit, I actually use them for the wheel cylinder rebuild kits as well. These wheel cylinders were a cheaper set from Vito’s.

[@Pjw350]

@@rockspowersports i have used all balls for years without issues. I wont trust anything for brake calipers/cylinders from amazon.

[@hydrafishy9367]

What’s squeezing bc my rubicon does the same exact thing?

[@millerbification]

Well that’s a true Honda for that job best in class in my words and plus getting small work done and also I’m planning on buying a new version of Honda foreman rubicon 520CC just cause of work

[@ИльяКузнецов-ч4ж]

А што за работа ? Кататься ?

[@adrienfortin4411]

You have a old engine you can put on a stand and torture test? Would be awesome 👌

[@rockspowersports]

Unfortunately a good running spare engine is few and far between around here.

[@Hyngyynj]

I’ve always been scared of those Honda transmissions, are they fairly reliable?

[@rockspowersports]

I have a grave yard full of Rubicons that have bad transmissions. Maintenance is a huge key for the hondamatic. The earlier models were known to have more problems than the 05+

[@Hyngyynj]

@@rockspowersports good to know! I bought those push pin pliers from harbor freight the other day. Absolute lifesaver and I prob wouldn’t never knew about them if it wasn’t for your videos haha thank you!

[@Williamxmr]

That claw hammer lol

[@jamesstewart3785]

Should have done a dics brake conversion

[@brandonharrison4919]

How do I get ahold of you and do you answer questions

[@rockspowersports]

What question do you have?

[@brandonharrison4919]

@@rockspowersports I have 2003 handa 500 rubicon its hard to get started it will crank until the battery is dead but if it starts it runs like a top until you shut it off then it won't start again

[@rockspowersports]

I’m not sure if you saw my last video of this one but I had to use the primer on the bottom of the carburetor to start this before cleaning the fuel system. Have you tried to use the primer on your Honda?

[@brandonharrison4919]

So yea I seen that one and tried it but the same thing I rebuilt the cab that's on it and tried 2 Amazon cabs but the something I can't even get it to start on Starting fluid

[@brandonharrison4919]

I have plenty of spark And fuel When I bought this thing.The transmission wasn't working so I replaced the oil pump drive chain and timing change. But had this problem before I did that work

[@motofarmmx2430]

This is the one thing I hate most about hondas especially used ones. Every used Honda I've encountered always at minimum needed the wheel cylinders adjusted. Most of the used ones around me have no brakes.

[@rockspowersports]

For sure! They really need to be taken apart every couple of years and the adjusters should be cleaned and greased.

[@nickingram9640]

Why two wheel cylinders per side??

[@kraftcraft2934]

Changing that frunt diff is a mother smoke cigs n drink beer before tackling that lol

[@Williamxmr]

If you have a race stuck just run an inch long bead on it with a MIG and let it cool, itll fall out.

[@rockspowersports]

If they are really stuck I’ll usually weld a bolt or something inbetween the outside bearing race. The heat helps tremendously and this give you something to press or hammer on evenly.
