Pt.4 Honda TRX300FW Rear Axle Bearing & Brake Repair At D-Ray's Shop

Part four of a four part series. The TRX300 is a really great atv, but this is a common weakness I have seen time and time again over the years

[@rickygreer7288]

Man you do thing,s 💯% the right way.And We all can appreciate that...

[@dshlogn1]

Thank you for posting this series of videos. I found them to be extremely helpful.

[@ElCaminoGrill-Market]

I've always been scared to try to work on my '91 Fourtrax. Your videos give me the information and the confidence to fix a lot of stuff instead of taking it to a shop. Thank you!

[@garthwilson9106]

I'm an Aussie and I understood you perfectly! You show and tell as you go and miss nothing.

[@stevebuttram]

The best !! Great video !! He not only knows how to properly make the repairs, he also knows how to do the camera placement and lighting so you can see what he is doing. I have a Honda 250 Recon that needs new rear brakes. These videos have given me the confidence to tackle the job myself. Thanks Dray !!

[@sandymatharu5952]

Fantastic video series, especially for the newbie mechanic! Thx for taking the time to clearly explain the entire process in step by step fashion. Look forward to all of your other videos!

[@jacklwheeler9765]

Great Video I'm impressed when I see someone take pride in doing the job right.

[@bassmen999]

Keep them coming man! I'm restoring a 91 Fourtrax 300 and this series of videos gave me the confidence to replace all my bearings! I basically buying every brand new part I can find on eBay and swapping it all out.. Thank you.

[@kylethebreadman7926]

I have an auld TRX300 1990 model, been doing work on it thanks to D-Rays videos, he takes his time to explain what he,s doing really easy to follow. I will always follow your videos definitely.

[@ratnabarbour7954]

[@chevy0846810]

Huge help and a great lesson. Thank you for taking the time to make and post these for others!

[@joshuarobbins6339]

I’m glad I found your channel. You got me through a final drive rebuild along with rebuilding brakes. By far the best info I could find!!!

[@TheThecyclist]

absolutely excellent videos well explained and useful tips as well as regards brake shoes put a strip of masking tape on the brake surface while fitting them this prevents grease from contaminating them an old mechanic told me this years ago

[@leehensley1336]

You are the "Man" when it comes to ATV maintenance and repair. Very knowledgeable and professional!

[@charlesmcneilljr6080]

you are an excellent instructor. easy to follow. thank you so much!

[@HuntinTN]

Most useful video to ever hit KZbin! Thank you for the whole series of videos on the Honda 300.

[@climber120]

video from 2011 is still helping people. Thanks for putting this series of 4 videos together it sure made for a smooth effort on my side. Much appreciate you.

[@paulrobinson9987]

Awesome work! I loved the 'Bugger Bear' comment. You gave me enough confidence to tackle this job on my own. Keep up the great job for us 'Do It Yourselfers'!

[@beer-lulzworkplay8637]

Thank you very much! Great video you saved me some $$$!!!

[@_AlejandroGonzalez_]

10 years later and this was a huge help

[@gc4hydro11]

Thanks. Dad's quad been sitting apart for over 10 years and this sure helped figure out what went where. And what was missing. Sure do appreciate you taking the time to make it.

[@Mr12stringman]

Dear Donald, Speakin" as a Yankee, you are some kind of mechanic. You are as thorough as you can be. You are a true professional and very good with all the basic rules of the wrench. Airplanes are my toys, and I have government licences to be able to work on them. However, you can work on anything and do a great job. I've seen some real scary people working on equipment, as as far as I'm concerned, you are excellent. Thanks for sharing your craft with other people, and bein' as kind as you are. That will come back to you, and I wish you a Happy New Year. Got a cousin in Davalls Bluff, and he too is a good wrench. Only thing bad come out of Arkansas is Bill Clinton. You keep passin' your kindness forward, and you'll be ok. Best to you and your family. Mike Festa (Illinois)

[@shanewald]

best video I have seen on this, if you own one you should be watching this! thanks for the help

[@dave434]

I have to say, D-Ray I learned something here from you! Really good how You explained your self as you went and really good camera view of it all. Great video & Work! If I was near you, I would not think twice about bringing my TRX300 to you to fix. If I couldn't do it. But watching your video I think I could now fix it myself!

[@teresasteele7210]

Thanks so much. These videos were very helpful. Just bought a 95 model It is in very good shape. The guy gave me the brake shoes he had bought and not put on. Now I am prepared for all probable problems that could happen and how to best remedy them. I also know that I need to go ahead and replace seals and o rings.

[@kkelly1954]

I cant thank you enough for sharing your awesome know how with us! I can now work on my own 300 4 Trax I really appreciate you!

[@minkfreak2ful]

I think you did a good job of explaining and hands on!!!

[@pauporejeffrey556]

D-Ray's videos are clear, concise and easy to follow. Very well done.

[@FatAmericanBastard1]

That's a great job you did there...I sat here and watched every video you did on this job and I don't even have a 4 wheeler...but I learned something...have a great day my friend...

[@josephsterling8510]

Your videos are on point. I can follow along and make the necessary repairs with confidence. Thanks for making these videos.

[@troymattingly3071]

Even though my level of service experience is advanced, I like to watch D-Rays video when I want a heads up on something I don't do often. The tips D-Ray gives are valuable. From Southern Most Indiana : Thanks D-Ray!

[@feslerdm]

This was the best step by step for this procedure I’ve seen. Very helpful, thank you.

[@michaelwatson4011]

Great set of videos, you really explain the process. I appreciate you taking the time to make them.

[@roystubbs164]

Thank god for this man and his videos. They have saved me sooo much money.

[@harryosborne6103]

Great videos, been learning a lot from you. I just start fixing up my 1996 TRX300, so I will def be coming back to watch some more as I get to the areas that I am working on. Thanks for taking the time for doing the videos!

[@harryosborne6103]

Harry Osborne Also, you got a video for fixing/maintenance for the front brakes?

[@KoolBell4AU]

Very good series of videos. Useful, and easy to understand. Thanks for posting them.

[@ronnieellis8478]

This set of 4 videos has been great. Thank you

[@shadeengland1458]

top notch easy to follow thanks

[@DelliaCooper]

Thank you for doing this video... My husband thought he could do this job in a few hours because my brother told him to just replace the brake pads... as I watched your video he does not have the appropriate tools , the crescent wrench and a regular hammer with a few screw drivers and a socket set is the extent of his tools.. Our Honda does not stop anymore, like the brakes are totally gone (we bought it last year at a flea market..) runs great but it's for our 14 yr old son... I would like for it to stop when he's riding.. after watching this video I plan on showing it to my husband in hopes that he will find a shop to send it to. And that's another problem, most of our shops out here only deal with new ATV's and parts. Great video's very professional.. and step by step instructions as well as close up shots of parts and actual names of them... I still don't know what a Do-Hicky is...

[@CraigArndt]

Great series, I enjoyed watching it. I'm looking for a Honda ATV this will be very helpful.

[@woodrowrose4349]

thanx D-Ray. couldn't have done it without you.

[@donbelcher3564]

Was about to tackle this job blindly. Ran across your video, awesome instructions. Worked like a charm going through my equipment. Sincere thanks!

[@briandean7206]

Thank you so much for an excellent video again. I used your video last year and put a new axle on my TRX. Two days ago the axle shaft just broke. I imagine it was defective. So I had to tear it all apart and do the same job again. You do an excellent job of training. Thanks again for all your help!

[@calandraloe5741]

Your videos are very helpful for these fourwheelers, thank you so much!

[@oneofthreebarnes665]

Great video. Far exceeds all of 'how to' videos I've seen and I've seen a bunch. Very practical and straight to the point.

[@forbeywillis9619]

Awesome video!!! I now have the knowledge to get my 300 back in the hills! Thank You!

[@tholloway95]

Great series of videos they were very helpful for letting me know what tools I needed and parts to get that I didn't expect I'd need.

[@rockbay79]

D-Ray's shop is the only shop I use for my Honda Foreman 500. He is an excellent mechanic and a really nice person! If, I had to rate his service and business I would give it 5 stars out of 5 stars, Don't get "ripped off" by dealers. Go to D-Ray's Shop!!!!! He will fix it right the first time and has excellent fees!!!! Thanks for repairing my Honda D-Ray, you are the Man!!!!

[@joshlucas496]

What is his phone number or address? Do you have to set up an appointment?

[@ericfinch9642]

I watched all the rear videos for brake bearing repair. very well done Donald. can't wait to jump in and get our's done. I'm expecting the worst but won't know till i get in there. Thanks for taking the time to make video's.

[@bigshot9557]

I’m a new subscriber and let me tell you this is a awesome channel he knows his stuff about atvs and what’s best is he explains everything in good slow detail and exactly step by step and what to do if you run into certain problems that he has encountered before doing the same job. I’m not big on watching mechanic on how to fix stuff I can usually figure it out but now I will watch this just to make the job easier and make sure your doing it right so everybody y’all need to subscribe this guy knows his shit.

[@dkz66]

Very helpful D-Ray. Made the job a lot easier. Thanks!

[@roilhead]

Cheers mate, this is really helpful as I am a builder & for some reason I devided that I was capable of doing this myself... Enjoying it so far, new diff arriving this week and in she goes...

[@Psychofarmer87]

Great set of videos, probably the best how to videos on KZbin so far.

[@garybrackin1901]

Great job you do, especially for a senior citizen like me!!

[@mattwhatley7145]

thanks. best how to video I've ever seen on axle bearing and brake set up.

[@RaoulDelNorte]

What a great instructional video!!! Thank you for sharing it. My 300 bearing just went south on me and I'm so glad I discovered your work. I'm going to turn my local shade tree mechanic on to it so he can follow it while working on my good ol' '94 fourtrax. (Even with your great video, anything that can't be fixed with a hammer is beyond my skill set!)

[@JDye-youtube]

D-Ray, that was a really nice series, one of the best that I have ever viewed. I really appreciate you taking the time to make it. Now I have to surf any others you may have on the TRX300FW. I have a ‘93, so it’s 26 years old and it still runs like a top. This model is almost bulletproof!

[@Musicforever789789]

This was extremely helpful , thank you so so so much for the awesome videos!!!

[@adriandunn310]

In the middle of the project myself and your video has been very helpful. Thank you.

[@haydenrule1997]

I've got a 350rancher all time 4x4 and gotta replace axle and all so this video was helpful seeing how they're almost identical.

[@cudakid67]

Great video, thanks for sharing! I have to replace my axle and hub due to worn splines and now I'll likely service the brakes while I'm in there.

[@michaelmotorcycle6586]

Your video's save me MONEY!! One of the best on "how to" fix you ATV out there!! Only wish you were in New York area!! THANKS D-RAY!!!

[@gkurts]

This is a very good video series. I have a 2004 Rancher 350 that is going to need this same thing done to it. Thanks for posting this!

[@davidmares56]

Thank you. Your 4 videos are great!!! You are a good teacher..

[@digbysquires]

This was so clear and well explained that I just went and did the job first time with no hitches and perfect results

[@frankmozingo5479]

thank you for such a plain and to the point visual " class".very easy to follow, plus parts #. keep up the videos. i for one will be a follower

[@jblythejr1]

really appreciate you filming this. Had to do this for my daughter. was able to do repair because of this video. Thank You!

[@briankelly3469]

Thanks for posting this and doing it so well. Made doing my job a snap, well, not really those parts do not like to come apart. Could not have done it without this video.

[@4dogmain566]

Thank you D-Ray for sharing your experience and know how. You do a great job explaining everything.

[@briandean7206]

thank you so much for making these videos. It really will help me as I'm replacing the rear axle in mine tomorrow

[@roadking6374]

Thanks for a great video. Really good job zooming in where needed. I watched the video several times during my rebuild. My Trx300 didn't come with a rear axel assy at all so I ordered everything and started from scratch. Bought a Clymers for reference but this video series is the bomb! I have a few friends who own these little work horses down here in Atlanta Ga. Area. I've sent them all links! Thanks again!

[@mikewacha2895]

Great attention to detail ! I am very appreciative that you would take your own personal time to show a 4 part video on how to save people some money and do it there selves,would look forward to seeing more of these if you do them, since i have several 300's from 1988-2000, THANKS so much !

[@schellinger123]

you make it look so easy..I wish that i had the confidence to try it..I just don't have the press..thanks for making such an informative video you did a great job

[@jmarroquinjr]

Awesome video. You took all the guess work out of this repair. Thank you very much!

[@tims3082]

Thanx..I have a 1991 model..300..and I ain't no mechanic...but with this video..and some sweat...I did it!!..rides like a new 1..

[@ronnietritt9464]

Great video, was very helpful in showing how to get the job done.

[@arthurbarnes8390]

Best video, easy to watch and you discuss each procedure very well that even a non-mechanic type can understand and do it., keep it up and thanks allot!

[@scooterhazelwood7782]

Great how to video! Helped a ton. I coulda easily figured it out, but there was a lot of time and headache saving info here.

[@randymolho7096]

One of the best KZbin videos I have ever seen. Great video and lighting and clear concise explanation throughout. Thanks, it was a great help!

[@karenrobar7462]

[@paulrobinson9987]

Your videos are absolutely great. You've given me the confidence to tackle jobs like this which I would have never tackled before. (Just need to purchase myself a press ;) Saves a great deal of money in shop labour costs. Keep them coming! :)

[@Road_Rash]

Just picked up a 1999 that's been sitting in a shop for somewhere between 12-15 years...got it running good, now's time to fix the brakes...it looks almost brand new, just need to replace crusty old cables on the back, don't know what's going on up front, just know the front brakes don't work...probably just do a full rebuild on the front...

[@rocksrisa]

Great Vid! I love how you explain all the other work to do as long as you have the axel apart.

[@Inspectorlarry]

Just got a 4x2 version of this wheeler in a trade and the bearing was shot this was a great video to get er done.

[@timbercountry665]

I enjoy watching your videos D-Ray. Very good instruction, and a pleasure to watch. Looking forward to more!

[@billadams3989]

Great Series .. Got a '95 that I'm over-hauling and these are a great help ..

[@SLEDHEADWFO]
