How To Check and Replace KTM Lower Shock Bearing Heim Joint

[@rickogas5199]

Great how to video! I haven't replaced my heim joint bearing in years. This video is a good refresher. Another tip I use is to put the bearing in the freezer for a bit before installation. It eases installation.

[@JoeJoeMoto]

+Rick Ogas Thanks mate. Yeah, good call on the bearing in the freezer trick, really helps out hey!

[@Sum4Seb]

Nice to see that you take your time and great care of your equipment. Detailed but yet simple enough to complete the task. Great video T4S

[@JoeJoeMoto]

Yes, I really enjoy bike maintenance (apart from bloody tyre changes!!). Thanks!

[@ovidioglopez]

What a great camera perspective. Such quality. I have never seen such a descriptive video. Keep it up. Subscribed.

+Ovidio Lopez Thanks mate! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Great Video JoeJoe. Well explained without being too lengthy. I understand you became aware of the shagged out joint from a knocking sound in your recent vids?

[@JoeJoeMoto]

Thanks! No, that was my mate on his Berg that had the knocking and he just replaced his too. Mine was squeaking, so that's how I found out mine was gone.

[@danshorthouse]

Nice vid,made me check mine and they where worse then yours! I brought the same bearing kit £30 and fitted them,so cheers for the vid! Btw if you use a 24m socket it fits perfect and tight so u don't need to hold it! So u wont hit ur own hand lol,i also had to heat it up as it wouldn't move to start with,cheers Dan

[@JoeJoeMoto]

Hi Dan. Great info there mate with the 24mm socket, thank you. I am glad that this video helped you out. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@rosiehines7858]

Good to see you are wearing your Japanese safety boots ;) do you use the trials tyre all year round ?

[@JoeJoeMoto]

hahahah always! Safety first. Yeah, I had that tyre for about a year and a half and LOVED it.

[@JoeJoeMoto]

King Carl Thanks! Nah, this job was pretty easy actually, but yes, in reality it took about half an hour or so to do it from start to finish.

[@leejohnson6399]

Hi there, great vid very helpfull but in my all balls kit there are 2 rubber seals which I did not see you install... Do they go in straight after the bearing? Also which way around? As they are Groved on 1 side and flat on the other? Thanks.

[@JoeJoeMoto]

+Lee Johnson Not too sure mate. Could you send me a picture of it on my FB page? I might be able to help then.

[@Cowboy4737]

Thanks for sharing,I almost pulled my swing arm cause I thought the bearings were shot but it turned out to be just the shock bearing,I made a nice puller with a piece of threaded rod.

[@JoeJoeMoto]

No problems mate. I am glad that it helped you out. I like the puller idea!

[@Cowboy4737]

JoeJoe Moto, Yeah super simple,Big socket on one side,Small socket on the other & a ratchet wrench makes fast work of pressing them out.

[@sirjolly81]

Good Vid. Just about to replace mine and swing arm bearings. Mine are total Rust.

[@JoeJoeMoto]

Thanks mate. Wow, that sounds bad! Good luck with it.

[@EMRElectrical]

Hey mate, great video! What editing software do you use?? Cheers mate keep up the great work

[@JoeJoeMoto]

Thanks so much mate. I use Cyberlink PowerDirector.

[@SHAUNYBOY1997]

Nice s15 in the back mate, and mad video too :)

[@JoeJoeMoto]

hahah thanks, it's my project car, it features in my next "Life Update" video.

[@Regboy2011]

In new to your videos and I'm liking them keep then coming ;) I'm subscribed to you

[@JoeJoeMoto]

Thank you! And welcome to the #JJM channel!

[@kingmatthews5436]

Thanks for the video what size tank is that?

[@JoeJoeMoto]

Thanks for watching mate. It's an 11 litre (2.9Gal) tank.

[@DKnight_78]

Good job. That video was 9min but how long did u actualy sit there? Lol like me it would be a couple of hours!

[@JoeJoeMoto]

Probably ages!!

[@Starkchris]

Mine after replacement is good up and down but when I hold the shock it roles side to side is that normal

[@JoeJoeMoto]

Is that after the shock has been installed back into the bike?

[@Starkchris]

@@JoeJoeMoto correct

[@Mmdoggy1]

Nicely done. Not a fan of all balls though, had bad experience with their products in the past.

[@JoeJoeMoto]

Thanks. That's no good about the All Balls, I have used a few of their products and haven't had a problem. They are definitely not the same quality as OEM stuff though.

[@Mmdoggy1]

Yeah OEM is often the way to go, only downside is that they are so darn pricey. All balls are probably great as well, i was just the unlucky one i guess haha.

[@cagleccc]

What is the background music if ya don't mind me askin?

[@JoeJoeMoto]

Honestly, I can't remember mate, it is most likely from this royalty free site: teknoaxe.com/Home.php

[@danshorthouse]

And to add there are more seals in the packet then u need,use the ones with the metal coating, the others must be for a different model,cheers ⬇️

[@JoeJoeMoto]

Yeah true.

[@EvilNeil187]

Good stuff!

[@JoeJoeMoto]

Thanks :)

+JoeJoe Moto haha this sounds stupid but I came across them early days in season 1 before they were known! Hooked ever since! Also this is funny because I had to change and output shaft seal and shifter seal and both your vids came up Haha! Wish you were in Melbourne to help on the wr!

[@JoeJoeMoto]

+Melbourne rider Yeah, I have been watching them for years hey. So good! So awesome to see how they have grown too. Good to hear that my vids came up in searches or whatever. I would gladly help out, pitty about the distance!

[@Melbournerider]
