      Thanks Phillip, you're very kind... we've built up a following of younger riders and people who are really keen to get involved, not to mention a few who just can't afford to pay for garages, so it's wise to explain things properly and not miss things out... and as we've said often, knowing why something has to be done, is important to justify knowledge as copy cat is not the way to learn things, you need a deeper understanding of it so it makes sense !

  • @tjjusten6266
    @tjjusten6266 5 лет назад +4

    Excellent video. One suggestion, disassemble your old bearings, (pull the seal, then cage, then balls). Take the outer part of the old bearing and grind the outer diameter down just a hair, all of the way around. Now you can use it to drive your new bearings in, without it getting stuck. I do the exact same thing if I need to replace races (cones).

    I just went through an absolute nightmare to replace my bearings. Rear axle seized from rust, split it getting it out, only to have a local shop sell me the wrong bearings, then tell me my wheel was no good inside and quoted me over $1k to replace/repair it all. I've never felt so insulted. I have no problem paying for good service but they overcharged me to basically have a look and then wanted to bend me over a barrel. I wish I would've seen this just a day or so earlier. I ride a '98 Sporty and your videos are like a god-send. Thanks and keep being awesome dude.

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  8 лет назад +2

      +Killswitch Queen So sorry to hear that my friend, and how often do we hear those kind of quotes for repairs! I't;s not hard to arrive at them though, if you've cracked the rime, there's half the money straight away, and I'll imagine they quoted at least 3hrs at probably well over $100 an hour then add other parts related to it plus tax... it's easy to make someone choke at the counter... I know plenty of old school garages that see the relevance in this and they work their way round it to keep it realistic... in some ways I wish we had loaded it sooner to help you, but I guess you've got it fixed up now ... always contact us if you get stuck with something or you're not sure about a job, as even if we haven't made a video I'm still happy to advise you accordingly... no problem! All the best, tc, Del

    • @KillswitchQueen
      @KillswitchQueen 8 лет назад

      Here's the kicker, after having another look there are no cracks! Just a few burrs where the seal sits. Sadly the bikes still on the lift in the garage until I can get a second opinion from my usual shop. Nothing like a bearing replacement turned to entire rear wheel assembly replacement to flip the day around! I appreciate the kindness, I try and do as much of my own maintenance as I can, and you're a big inspiration. Cheers!

  • @jimsnow9183
    @jimsnow9183 3 года назад +1

    I like your comment about fair exchange with dealers' repair fees. When I started working on my bike, I immediately ran into all kinds of hidden knowledge that an experienced wrencher has, and I did not. For example, what does it feel like when a bolt is "right tight". I rapidly developed a new respect for these characters.
    For me, it is really useful to know about my bike (thank you for your videos), to trust it, to know my limits, and know when to call a pro. From this place, it is pretty obvious who's doing business with integrity.
    When I learned how to fix a flat, I now know I can get myself out of the forest if I get one, I need to be out of the forest two hours before sunset just in case I get one, and it is fair value for me to pay a shop with a tire machine and balancer to do the job when I'm not in the forest.

    Excellent how-to as always with just the right level of detail. These are some of my favourite videos along with the fabrication ones. It's great to add another job to the list that I'd have a go at when the time comes.
    Also really excited to see what the new bike is and what it becomes. I'm curious whether you'e went along the lines of the usual firebaldes, r1's etc to fighter or something completely out there. Either way I'm sure it'll end up great.

It's along similar lines, but it's a rarely fightered machine... and I've got some fun plans for it, it won't be a quick build, but may have it pn the road this season at some point !

      @johnnyappleseedz422 Год назад

      ​@@JonNichols2112 Using a caliper tool, you can measure the interior of your hub. The hub on my 2017 ZX-10RR measures 32mm. When I placed a 24mm deep sockwt in there it fit a tad snug. A 5/16th socket seemed to be spot on with the bearing. However, you must test the sockets because different brands (Craftsman, Duralast, Powerbuilt) etc, have different thickness sidewalls. I suspect using a snug socket and a 6" extention may be enough to hammer out. Proceed with hour own decision and caution. Or, get the correct tools for the job.

If you go that way again, after the first few hits, if it doesn't feel like it's moving and the hammer is bouncing back too much, then stop... turn the wheel over and fill up the area with WD40 overnight... then in the morning (and you may not believe it!) but just pour boiling water around the alloy surrounding the bearing, then spin the wheel over and it will tap straight out - works every time !

    Loved the video! Very helpful! Just changing the wheel bearings on my Bandit 1200. The Bandit doesn't use any circlips and has a tight interference fit all the way down. So I took the old bearing and ground about 2 thousands off the outer face so it wouldn't get caught. Worked well and now I have another "Special Tool" in my tool box for intstalling bearings!

      @@arnedijkstra7715 Hi Arne, you can put the bearings in the freezer overnight, it does work ok, and it shouldn't damage the grease as obviously the bike goes out in winter weather so if you parked overnight in the snow, no harm is done... but personally I've never done it, I just tap them, or press them, in cold and it works fine!

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  Год назад

      Hi mate, glad you got it sorted, you don't need to grease anything really, your bearings should be sealed and they're pre-greased inside, there's no room in the bearing cup for extra grease, so just maybe a wipe with a greasy finger so the bearing slides in and it should be fine... it's not a bad idea though to grease the axle to prevent it corroding inside the spacer sleeve.
