Jeez I’ve never had a bearing job go sooo smooth. You guys make it look super easy. Usually everything is crazy seized lol. I guess I should change ‘em out sooner eh lol.
One click on that torque wrench, not two. As an industrial salesman for Snap-on for years, we did torque demos using calibration devices and found that many guys over-torqued. Anticipate the click, when it comes stop immediately.
Good that you included showing the plastic spacer on the rear wheel. So may videos just skip this step. Now I don't have to make a video explaining this!
Just like to thanks 🤙🏽guys…. This was a helpful guide for me when it came to changing my bearings on my 2020 KTM350sxf …keep up the awesome 💪🏾work …Chur Chur
Just did this yesterday. Never saw a spacer washer on my bike - makes me wonder if it never had one or went missing. Time to check the parts fiche - 2012 KTM 500!
I always add more grease to the new bearing because there is very little in them and they will wear out very fast, my bearings last me about 🤔 hmm years.

Controversial topic warning ⚠️ Do you put extra grease in already greased bearings? I’ve been chalking them full of marine grease with pretty good results. My latest set of NTN looked well greased from the factory so I’m gonna try leaving them stock this time.
It's honestly not a bad idea, some bearings from the factory don't come properly greased. Always a good idea to periodically check all of your bearings and add grease if you feel like there's not enough

The bearings we used for this bike were sealed and didn't need greased. If you have different bearings or you just want to pop the dust cover off and grease them more, you can pack them with grease. We have an older video showing how to pack steering stem bearings and the concept will be the same for wheel bearings.

Heating does cause expansion and that's why it helps. Heating the metal around the bearing causes it to expand which makes the bearing come out easier. If you heated the bearing itself that would make it become tighter.
you actually invite heating up the hub doesn't that ruined the process it's already been done with hardening of it and you know what that's crazy I mean that would soften it making it you know more prone to fail? I mean I wanted to heat it but I stopped myself cuz I didn't change the tempering that was done
Tempering takes hours. The heat from that gun, for only a few seconds-maybe minutes-is not nearly enough to change the tempering of the metal. It does however create minor molecular expansion at tolerances sufficient to reduce the force necessary to remove the bearing.
