Excellent video ,..thinking of trying this myself. I have a howley,noisey sound that vibrates as I lean into turns both ways and think its a tire or bearing. 2016 Iron with 7500 kms. probably tire , I hope!!
Hey I just put new bearings in my front end I also used hi temp grease on it as well as back when re fitting spacers and axles will that be ok to use on the stock Harley bearings ?
It all depends on the year of your sportster. This 2015 Iron Sportster uses Harley part# HD-7813A Verify it will work with yours before buying. The nut size for this bike is Hex Nut 5/8"-18 x 9/16" x 15/16" Grade 2 UNF per the Harley website.
@@DoubleDMoto Thanks so much! Put new Michelin Commander II on with balance beads so safe and smooth! Adusting belt,..do you torque to 65 lbs ,then adjust and when set, tighten to 95-105?
@@buggoe I like the Michelin Commanders. I have the III on mine. When I adjust the belt I snug it down not to tight, check belt tension than loosen and adjust if needed. Then torque down once finished.
I definitely used a ton, ended up wiping a lot of it off before installing the axle as it was all over my hands. Good thing is it doesn’t hurt it just makes a mess.
@@fyreblade1262 that is awesome, I left being an auto mechanic a long time ago as the money was never consistent. I wish I would have gone to school for motorcycles but went into a completely different direction. Probably why I still enjoy working on motorcycles. Thanks for watching!
