Installing a Motorcycle Wheel Bearing and Seal

www.rrrtoolsolu...
We use our Seal and Bearing Driver tools when Installing bearings and seals. Having the correct size and shape driver for every bearing, race, and seal is key to proper installation. Watch as we replace/install our Wheel Bearings and Seals on our Yamaha TTR 225 Project.

In the case of these two bearings one's got a sealed end one's got an open end. This one here has got open ends on both.
In determining which one goes in first, as we're fixing to install these. This has writings or stampings on the side. It says Japan of course it gives the part number and so forth. So I am going to leave that to the outside. Which is typically the way it's done
ok, and I have selected a size that will go down inside the hub But, cover the other surface of the bearing. Which is the immediate surface that I am hammering on.
I don't want to do it on the center. I want to do it on the outside. That way I am putting the force on the exact surface that is resisting the installation.
and you can hear the difference that solid feel you know that it is all the way down.
Now we are going to do the same thing for the seal. This is the seal that we removed, And we removed it at the same time we did the bearing. So, we are just going to put it in. With not near the force.
And that is fully installed.
Now if you remember we did this in reverse order So, that when we turn this wheel over. To install this side, We know exactly the sequences that this went in. We'll put a little bit of grease on this, And I am doing this mainly for protection. And having some type of coating.
That is the sequence that we took it out. But, as you can see here, This spacer just dropped in
Again I am putting this bearing in, With the outside, the closed surface to the outside. And that's the perfect size, that will go down in out hub, also will support out bearing outer surface.
Just as we did before, Ok, you can see what is going on here, we just make sure we drive down straight.
we're below the surface of the hub, going to keep driving till we hear the sound change. Completely different sound we know that we are bottomed out.
Not an excessive amount of force. Something is wrong if you got to hit it with a lot bigger hammer, Wish you had a sledge, there is something wrong
Here we are going to reinstall the seal. We've got the bearing driven all the way in. We'll take the seal, put it on there.
Now here we need to go straight and even. We don't need a lot of pressure. Again we are listening for that sound.
We're square We're straight. We got a seal driver, That fits We got that sound we were look for.
The seal is in there, It is in there straight. And we are ready for assembly

it may seem easy to install using that driver. however, it does not always drive straight down. if the bearing is inserted incorrectly, there is that big, big chance that it will go down slightly inclined and be inserted inclined, marking the casing with a bad notch. my suggestion is use a small hammer so that the bearing goes down slowly, and could be corrected if even a slight incline is seen. the tool is a big help if used with caution and not king kong style. i noticed in the first rubber seal, it was not seated square. even if you hear the bottoming sound, it still is not square. please take a look again. at 1:18, the right side is raised slightly than the left. when it was inserted in 1:08, the right side is raised. it should have been corrected before the big banging.

good video where can i buy the mini bike wheel driver set for bearing on my mini bike.

[@bentambling6809]

Do you still sell this product? Can you ship to Philippines

[@nef4ri0us68]

Is that a bearing race driver?

[@RRRToolSolutions1]

Hi, yes it is. I use these for bearings, seals, and bushings when their fit is better than my seal drivers are. You simply flip the driver over and use the large end to push. Thanks for commenting, Gordon/RTS

i wouldnt install a high speed bearing with a hammer.
