- 1997 Honda GL 1500 Goldwing. Today I am working on the re- torque of my steering stem bearings. I am using the Clymer manual for the Goldwing. This is a necessary maintenance procedure for proper operation of the steering long term. Thanks for watching and Please Like and Please Subscribe to my channel I would very much appreciate it. Thank You

Noted not too many comments thus far on this particular procedure. Enjoyed watching, but appears many of us might need a machine shop to fabricate the specialized socket in order to access that slotted nut(?).
It’s not really hard to do it yourself if you have the right tools. I might do a video on making a socket for it since mine is in such bad shape. I appreciate the comment, yeah not many people want to talk to me I guess 😁
Great work buddy!!!! 🎉
Thank you Steve!
Where in ANY service manual does it say...... after you reach the designated torque setting , on your Calibrated torque wrench , to continue clicking it multiple times again and again ! !
Everytime you push your torque wrench an additional time , you actually add one to two additional pounds of torque to the fastener.
Therefore , on your final torque setting ? You clicked it 4 additional times.
Now you have added at least 4 lbs of additional torque .
Therefore your bearings are now over torqued
( aka over spec ) !
Let’s say a book torque setting is 45ft lbs, the whole idea behind the setting with a torque wrench is once you hit that setting aka the click on the torque wrench you have achieved the torque setting. So unless you move the setting you can hit the torque setting over and over and it shouldn’t move. If you are careless and continue to pull past the torque setting then yes your torque setting will be off. A cheap torque wrench which most of us novice mechanics use are not 100 percent accurate they actually have a plus or minus error of a certain percentage.

Good points .
But is multiple clicks the correct use , and the correct torquing procedure.
I was always of the same thought as you . However , a number of wheel end training sessions pertaining to proper bearing set up , pushes my point of the additional one to two pound additional for every additional click , just from over coming the resistance of the break over mechanism in the handle .
We have a new Snap On torque wrench calibration checker at work.
When we got it I thought I was going to be waaay out .... I was shocked to find that it was only out 2 pounds , so I didn't need to send mine out for a recalibration .
Anyway ... thanks for the vid .
@@user-uu1wc6yz5z I understand your point, thank you and your welcome
Looks like a lot of dicking around to me. In the middle of this job atm. Had to buy new lower fork legs, the originals were unusable.
I’m not sure how you meant that but steering stem torque is very important part of maintenance, especially on this heavy bike.
Question... why not cut those wires and put a connector in at the left of the triple
then just drop it down. if I have to do mine that's what I will do now thanks to your video
That's a very good idea! If it was something that I had to do often, I think I would do exactly that! Thank You for the comment!
