Harley Wheel Bearing Change

[@Gpadellaro]

i would use the install tool, you already have it.... hammering bearings is never a good thing

[@EricWickenheiser]

Very helpful video thank you very much man!

[@YogisCycleService]

My pleasure. Thanks for commenting

[@deanfehr9445]

Thx for the video. It was very helpful. Just a note that I live in Canada and our vehicle wheel bearings are outside at 40 below and wheel bearings don’t get moisture. Have a nice day.

[@johnkidwell6415]

What’s the exact name of the bearing puller/installer on Amazon for the same wheel on your video? Thx!!!!

[@Wheel-1]

Thanks for the video #Yogi , I also tried the screwdriver with a fail . I need to invest in blind puller / seater .

[@YogisCycleService]

Yes, thank you for watching and commenting!!

[@TyFromTennessee]

Great instructional video. You make it look easy. Cool hoodie too!

[@YogisCycleService]

Thank you!!

[@IchibanMoto]

those blind pullers are badass awesome. bought my first kit to remove a transmission bearing pressed into a case. probably jc whitney

[@YogisCycleService]

I remember JC Whitney, are they still around?

[@IchibanMoto]

@@YogisCycleService The awesome catalog is long gone. They were absorbed by an online parts outfit or something. I have some grandpa grade vintage catalogs somewhere around here. They are like flipping through 1950's popular mechanics lol

I've got a 2000 electra glide. Will a 2013 street glide accept the same bearings/ mount up with the rotors and everything?

A quick question why did the Baron's being the freezer never heard of that before pretty cool

[@nickhildabridle1612]

Shrinks the metal just a smidgen (highly technical term) to allow the bearing to be installed a touch easier.

[@threeleggedog4140]

The freezer won't give u much. The rim is aluminum. It's thermal expansion is .000013 inches per degree Fahrenheit. Steel (the bearing) is .0000098.

[@armengureghian4141]

I’m not trying to be disrespectful hitting a wheel bearing with a metal object like a hammer is incorrect the hole in the middle of that tool is for the threaded rod so that you can pull the wheel bearing in without impacting it if that were an antilock wheel bearing that is color-coded it would be ruined because of the impact and demagnetization from the impact.

[@YogisCycleService]

Appreciate it.

[@okbassguy]

Plan “B” always seems to work the first time. 😅

[@СвятославМакаров-д5р]

Thanks a lot. 👍

[@chuckhabrack3330]

Yogi the hammer trick works very well but a claw hammer is for a carpenter. I know it sounds dumb but a hammer is not a hammer. A 3 pound drilling hammer would have worked much better. There is not enough energy in a claw hammer to move a press fit bearing. That has been my experience anyway. Now the removal tool is awesome and a little bit of oil on the threads when using it it should last a long time. If I owned the tool I would be using that instead of the hammer... Yes freeze the bearings and a little heat on the hub and they will fall in place a light hit to seat.

[@YogisCycleService]

I did oil the threads before use and it worked like a champ.

[@carolinarider5237]

Chuck. He's not driving a railroad spike in or tapping bearings in 40 hrs a week. It took 2 mins to tap it in. 🤦gezz....

[@chuckhabrack3330]

@@carolinarider5237 I was busting his chops he has my drilling hammer in his garage. Besides it's easier to hit light with a heavy hammer than hit heavy with a light one. 🙂

[@tonyandtinaross2876]

Sweet bike!!

[@YogisCycleService]

It sure is. Feel free to leave it for a while. I won’t put tooooo many miles on it!! Ha ha

[@jamespolucha8790]

I’ve always welded a nut inside the bearing and just use a punch to knock it out

[@YogisCycleService]

Good feedback thanks!!

[@MattyM110]

Can the bearing be put on either side? I have a small scratch on the brake side and wanna swap to clutch

[@carolinarider5237]

Why didn't he like the 21 rim. Does he have stock front shocks? Most guys that have 21's, have after market shocks to wear it doesn't nose dive as bad when braking or in the twisties.

[@YogisCycleService]

I honestly don’t know why he didn’t like it. He just said he didnt

[@iggynub]

It's still a wagon wheel. At 17/19 it would handle much better and be less resistant to change and turn in easier

[@TheBlueBikeDoyle]

What's the difference in ABS bearing an Non abs

[@YogisCycleService]

The ABS bearings have a sensor on them for the ABS system can tell when the wheel is locked up

[@paineys3341]

@@YogisCycleService is the process the same for ABS bearings?

[@YogisCycleService]

@@paineys3341 Yes, just make sure you put it on the right side of the wheel and I believe the writing is on the outside.

[@joedote8441]

@@YogisCycleService to clarify for people he means the correct side. It needs to go in the side with the abs sensor. It should be the primary side. It is at least on my 2017 fltru on the front wheel. The rear It goes on the exhaust side since that's where the brake is.

[@YogisCycleService]

@@joedote8441 Yes sorry thank you for the clarification. When I said right side I meant correct not (R). Looking for the ABS sensor and wire coming behind the wheel spacer will give it away also as you stated

[@mikebronc2902]

When you see uncle pete pull out the crescent wrench you need to get aunt carol and the kids out of the house and into a hotel... Shits going down

[@JarheadSixRides]

Fairly easy for you Yogi not me lol! God bless!

[@YogisCycleService]

When you’re ready ride your bike on up and bring some bearings with ya and we will change them for free so we get some hang time

What was the tool

No body goes to your sight any more,it's too crowded..

Can you explain that more? Maybe I can thin some stuff out and make things easier to find

[@megaflyinbrian]

Painful to watch.

A quick question why did the Baron's being the freezer never heard of that before pretty cool

[@YogisCycleService]

If you put them in the freezer they shrink ever so slightly and it helps them seat in the hole a little better. Worked like a champ when I put new bearings in my cam plate. I heated the cam plate in the oven for 20 min on a low setting and had the bearings in the freezer and they literally dropped in the hole without needing any kind of press.

[@chuckhabrack3330]

The bearing "shrink" in the cold temps. Just like they expand in hot temps. That little bit of shrinking helps them go in easier. Yes there is a limit to the shrink and expand. Yogi could have heated the rim with a propane torch to get it to expand, it dose not take a lot of heat but a few hundred degrees and it will grow enough for a press fit bearing to go in with little to no resistance. Though heating too hot and you can ruin things. Freezer wont get steel "too cold:"

[@hawkdsl]

A quick tip here; skip the freezer... Use a heat gun to expand the bearing cup in the wheel itself. Metal expands more then it shrinks. heat it all around the bearing for about 3 minutes.. keep the heat on the wheel and not the bearing. Good for both pulling and pressing.
