    I seen you use the same snap ring pliers I use them to it makes taking snap ring off almost effortless and since I do have a 85 Husqvarna that is mostly put together with snap ring

    Love the content. Do you typically use all balls bearing kits? What about the wheel cylinders? What brand do you trust for those?

    • @Pjw350

      Those drum brake setups are lots and lots of labor- you make it look easy.

    • @rockspowersports
      @rockspowersports  9 месяцев назад +1

      I do use All balls quite a bit, I actually use them for the wheel cylinder rebuild kits as well. These wheel cylinders were a cheaper set from Vito’s.

    This is the one thing I hate most about hondas especially used ones. Every used Honda I've encountered always at minimum needed the wheel cylinders adjusted. Most of the used ones around me have no brakes.

    • @rockspowersports
      @rockspowersports  9 месяцев назад

      For sure! They really need to be taken apart every couple of years and the adjusters should be cleaned and greased.

      I have a grave yard full of Rubicons that have bad transmissions. Maintenance is a huge key for the hondamatic. The earlier models were known to have more problems than the 05+

    If you have a race stuck just run an inch long bead on it with a MIG and let it cool, itll fall out.

    • @rockspowersports
      @rockspowersports  9 месяцев назад +1

      If they are really stuck I’ll usually weld a bolt or something inbetween the outside bearing race. The heat helps tremendously and this give you something to press or hammer on evenly.
