[@robinsonsauto]

Nice! I like this format. Keeping it real, making do with what you have. felt as though I was in the shop kept looking for where I sat my beer lol

[@grindinggearsgarage9578]

+robinsonsauto its a constant struggle keeping track of that pesky can of beer!!!! We seem to have the same issue tracking down the last tool we used as well, its a never ending cycle.

[@noahkluesner]

I have a 2004 Honda 300EX in my rear bearings where completely ate up the one bearing by the sprocket wasn't even in there the raz was welded to the inside of the carrier which is aluminum butt a torch gt that raz out but that carrier is all chewed up I put new bearings in the carrier but I have a new one on the way with new bearings and everything in it thanks for ur video I have done everything to a car n 4wheeler but never messed with them rear carrier n bearing and only because of your video I was able to save hundreds of dollars by doing it my self n nt sending it to a honda atv shop

[@grindinggearsgarage9578]

thanks man. that's exactly why we started this channel. hoping to help as many people as possible. we will have some more 300 videos shortly

[@thomashoward4427]

I have a a very small chip in the bottom of my motor I hve a nuther complete motor I was wondering if I could take the side casing off the spare one n put it tn on my motor its the left side im just in w.v n while that's being done id like to bore it out to the first stage is thata job u would do ???? I have never trusted to send my stuff to a shop but ur tn video was so good I NC an n tell u know what ur doing n u dnt just slop stuff together I trust n know u would do hell of gm a a job

[@grindinggearsgarage9578]

+ryan howard yeah switch cases around is done all the time. mainly from the chain breaking or the master link popping and cracking the left side case by the drive sprocket. we do not do any machine work on cylinders but I would find a good machine shop in your area and have them tackle it. If you take it to an atv shop they are just the middle man and will find a machine shop usually.

[@thomashoward4427]

I would like to have u do do u know around what something like that would cost I wont hold to u that price just an idea

[@grindinggearsgarage9578]

+ryan howard it honestly varies by machine shop and location. my best advice is shop around as many as you can.

[@TheTrumanZoo]

thank you man... for showing me what ill never be able to do...

[@cipherten9821]

Great video it walked me all the way through it.

[@timglivefree]

[@grindinggearsgarage9578]

hahah i can picture it now! i love having those aha moments

[@tjerj1]

Excellent video! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@tracymiller1884]

Thanks for the video, it will help me on my removal 👊👍

[@jacobchapman5218]

Helped know what to do but my axle nut was stuck so I had to cut it off, now i cant get the disc brake holder off.

[@Vagitarion]

I'm glad I don't live where it's cold. Cause everything I removed came right off. Axle came out by hand.

[@Vagitarion]

Thank you for showing what to do with the bearings!

[@mikeowens8483]

Thanks, for the video. tearing mine down.

[@shawnfast9852]

Old video but very helpful. If you see this how would I get my spacer of my axel?

[@revlimiterlife6276]

Very in detail thank you

[@EliteGamingHQ]

Hey man, nice video! You really had to fight with it. I subbed, also you are not far from me.

[@James7796ify]

Hey I’m about to install a new carrier and noticed my sprocket hub is wobbling is that related to bad bearings?

[@roberthaberman9491]

What size nut did you use to drive the bearings in?

[@DanteFeraco81]

I got a 1987 250x are the castle nuts with the cotter pin the same size you think?

[@chadlepak961]

When I did mine it had 2 bearings on each side of the Carrier. Is that normal or should I put 1 on each side?

[@johnlouk7691]

Do I need to grease these bearings or is it gear lube

[@cs652806]

Good video but you should have broke the axle nut loose before anything else. That way the chain would have prevented it from turning if you left it in gear.

[@jeffwhitsit6386]

I’m literally putting a new axle and carrier bearing on right now and I can’t get the snap ring back on, any ideas ?

[@kevinsturtevant272]

I’m debating on buying a carrier bearing or just the bearings themselves. Anyone have any advice? I don’t have a press. 87trx250x

[@dustintownsend7810]

Helpful

[@connersnow298]

Nice vid

[@Tippycrawdad302]

My caliper bracket is loose should I shim it or something?

[@АндрейЧеркасов-ж9ш]

Спасибо🤝

[@ihorsepoweri2788]

How lond did that axel and career last?

[@grindinggearsgarage9578]

Erich Ireland I purchased the quad with bad axle bearings, and I parted it out and never got to ride it. Good quality bearings that are taken care of will last a while

[@keenanjohn6671]

I watched this video and I took it all apart and put the new bearing in and now the axle nut and the brake disc holder doesn't slid on enough,any ideas? Thanks

[@grindinggearsgarage9578]

The axle sometimes needs a few taps to pop into the carrier. the hub for the sprocket should be all but against the carrier

[@keenanjohn6671]

+Grinding Gears Garage i cant seem to get it to slide into it

[@grindinggearsgarage9578]

do you happen to have everything threaded in? as you thread the nut in (reverse thread) you gain more space

[@keenanjohn6671]

yup tried everything

[@benrobles8346]

im having trouble getting the axle nut off how do i get it off?

[@grindinggearsgarage9578]

its tough. they usually take lots of force and soaking with penetrate

[@2andrewneff]

is this what i need if the rear end is shifting around

[@hammer49946]

Jack up the rear and move the axle back and forth up. You will be able to feel a lot of play if the bearings are bad.

[@2andrewneff]

@@hammer49946 I pulled the axle out and the bearing looked fine, the caliper looks to be rounded out definitely need some help

[@shadesmoto1138]

i had to do this last summer but i also replaced the whole fucking carrier too so it took alot longer

[@ravenracing797]

do you have to use a press to get the bearings in or is their another way I don't have a press haha

[@grindinggearsgarage9578]

you can just drive the nut out with a hammer and punch

[@ravenracing797]

thanks

[@josecollazos6]

Grinding Gears Garage what year is the bike ? I have a 2006 300ex i bought a new axle and have to replace it would it be the same was to take it off as this one ?

[@sk8terdude101100]

[@grindinggearsgarage9578]

[@sk8terdude101100]

Grinding Gears Garage my carrier didn't come out on the axle and doesn't want to come out general any advice?

[@wheninrome42]
