Great great Video on wheel bearings and spacers….. So so overlooked !
Thanks,
Gunner.
fantastically thorough! Everything explained so every student comprehends the concepts and reasons!
You always learn me something new! Thank you Shane.
mint, this video helped me fix my 77 sportster with a rear disc upgrade, got all new spacers axle and bearings and asembled it all but there was play in the wheel, figured out my middle spacer was a bit too long from this video, thankfully i have a lathe and i shaved it down a bit and fixed the spacing between the bearings, thanks
I got a replacement tube and had it machined down to proper length . Now I have .05 end play . Question is what do the flanges or deflectors do on the old bearing spacer tube as the new tube came with out any and is 1 inch outside diameter where as the old was slightly smaller ? Are they necessary ?
Very valuable instruction!! I'm replacing my 1" front bearings with 3/4" and need to figure out the spacer width and material. Once again "Great Job Shane".
very well explained . people don't understand how important wheel spacer condition is . I once had to cut the rear wheel out of an r1 yamaha because the guy had powder coated his wheel and put a new bearing on top the fresh paint without cleaning back to bare metal first. so when it was time to tighten the wheel spindle, there was play in the wheel . then, instead of investigating why he kept winding the nut tight . the spindle on the r1 is hollow, so as he tighten'd the nut, the spindle became out of shape and caused high spots . these high spots then stopped the spindle from moving. I had to cut the rear caliper carrier off the spindle then use a power saw to cut the spindle in two at the sprocket carrier side . what a fecking nightmare this job was. I thought to begin with it was seized so could only use live steam . anyway, while all this was going on, his mate (another r1) was riding round with crushed rear wheel barings. he had taken his wheel out to change a tyre and lost the alloy spacer that sits in the centre of the wheel. he tighten'd the spindle nut without the spacer and burst the baring on the caliper side . both bikes ended up having new spacers, barings, spindles etc. it cost them a small fortune. be careful with powerful high speed bikes ! if your not sure, don't touch
Hey once the bearings are properly torque, the hollow pipe that is sandwich in there should spin along with the bearings when the wheel is spinning right?
I got one metal spacer. Rear brake side. And I forgot where to put it. Do I put it between the swing arm and the brake mount or inside between the bearings and the brake mount? I was thinking outside between the swing arm to avoid the bearings
For what it's worth to mention … bearing in mind (pardon the pun) the resistance shown @ 4:40 whether from this reason or just over tightening is indicative to creating heat in the bearing & will send the bearing to an early death & may cause issues with grease & surrounding components also … excellent vids Shane … I hope you are being rewarded for the time & effort it takes to create these uploads … cheers mate …
Excellent, professional tutorial!
I've trained many aircraft maintainers and ya did a good job. I'll cite the two vids as reference for others.
What's shown here applies to tapered roller bearings in general. For specifics the bearing manufacturer sites go into much more detail not required to R&I parts but worth a read for gearheads. You can never study too much.
Thanks for video, Knowledge is everything..
I have an abs light on my 2010 Limited FLHTK. I have changed the rear and front wheel bearings and abs wheel sensors, but still have abs light. Any scanner tool you recommend for me to buy to figure out why I have abs light ?? Thanks for any help
Yes they will bind as you say,However they will also bind because they are not greased and a taper brg has to be rotated during the torque down or binding will happen wouldent you agree.Yes the spacer must be true both sides.
جامد فشخ اقسم بالله
ALUMINIUM…note the I in the middle….not ALUMINUM…why can't Americans say it properly….
Always keep an eye on parts as you clean them — best way to catch any unexpected abnormality (tangible/intangable). Calipers, dial gauges, etc- great methods of confirming spec, only good though if your eyes catch scrape marks (example) during 5s. Really enjoy your videos Mr. Conley!
I LOVE how in depth your teaching is. Laymen’s terms, straight to the point, no beating around the bush and no swelled up “I know anything about bikes” Ego. Keep the videos coming!!
