Couldn’t have times this video better! I have literally got to do my Yellowfin trailer bearings also!
You answered so many of my questions 🤙🏼
nice. im glad its helpful..
Just a follow up question - what size rotors are they on your yellowfin trailer ? 255mm / 15mm thick ford pattern?
@@Blackpumkin6 yep they are..
Now this maybe irrelevant, but I’ve changed the studs in all my Rotor hubs( story for another day losing yet another wheel this time on the YF trailer). Although it’s a Ford hub, what I found was the studs were 16mm Holden studs. I ended upgrading to the thicker 19mm Ford studs. 👍
@@TabVentures thank you
What are your best and helpful tips? Comment here:
I put a small bead of silicone around the bearing buddy where it is hammered into the hub (after its installed) this stops any water entering.
Good job with the electrical tape as those boots love to fly off. I use a zip tie this way, i can still remove the boot by hand to check there is enough grease pressure without removing the wheel, and they simply just push back on with the same zip tie.
Only thing i would say is not to hit the race with the hammer always use the old race as one nick with cause the bearing to fail.
I made a tool out of the old race just for knocking them in.
Great idea with the silicone.. yeah, I should add - be super careful of hitting the NEW race with the hammer. Both for sharp edges and knocking it out of shape. 👍
Freeze them before install
