We replace some worn rear wheel bearings on Nat's KTM 350EXC motorcycle. These bearings only had a small amount of play in them but once they start to wobble, it's never too long before they fail completely. A very simple maintenance task that anyone can do at home with basic tools. Keep your bike maintained to guarantee you'll enjoy your next ride!

Another good way to put tension on the chain while doing up the nut is to put a rag between the chain and sprocket and rotate the wheel backwards to jam the rag/ wheel.

The heat and cool method as people put it usually you'd heat up (around 170 degrees) the area in which the bearing is going into then, of course, the frozen or chilled bearing is literally just dropped into place. the heat will then sandwich the bearing into place as it warms up the chilled bearing. You usually only need a few hours in the freezer but I do overnight also with chainsaw bearings.

I use a map torch and freezer. Freeze the bearing overnight, torch the hub to 200f or 93c. The bearing will fall in to the hub, then tap like you showed it to ensure bearing are seated.

Wow that's so interesting. On the DR650 we have to find perfectly round pebbles in the river and carefully place them on the Monmouth bone (they can be hard to find these days) before smothering them in whale blubber (careful the tree huggers don't catch you using that). Have fun wearing them out again!

Old bearings are good to start knocking new ones in. Clean first

@Chris_Z. 4 года назад

Good Job. When replacing the new bearings into hub you could also use the old bearing on top when tapping back in.

old mate will be cringing seeing that extension bar abused with a hammer not a dead blow lol

Under lockdown, can't ride so might as well do some maintenance... It's the least you can do for your country.

Do my bearings exactly the same way. I use Allballs and get 10k to 15k km. I do change them basically every year though. I'm in just as much mud and water as you guys. Front ones every 2 years. Key is cleaning the old grease out and replacing it every tire change.👍

Hey best nails I've seen working on a yet!

Thanks for the video. Checked mine today on the 350 and they are shot front and rear. Ordered up some factory links front and rear bearings and seals. This video should make the job a bit easier. Now I'll know to watch out for a possible plastic spacer hiding in there. I'd have probably just ham fisted it and broke that spacer had I not seen your video lol

No man's touch needed, but remember to clean even before knocking old bearing out. Cold and Heat are a must. Even if it's an elec heat gun. Thanks for the vid.

Heat up the hub around the bearing and it should only take a few hits to remove bearing

Just found your channel through the Skid factory guys, I really like the spirit and mateship that goes on in your vids. I have been binge watching over lockdown. As an avid mtb rider one of the first things I noticed in this vid was your Commencal Meta in background. I'm thinking of getting one, how do you rate it?

Looks like a fantastic way to spend your honeymoon

Try the axle nut on the sprocket side will make wheel changes easier.Reusing the old wheel spacers is a bad idea as the seals will never seal and the bearings won't last .I think KTM supply new spacers in their kits.Your right about all balls ...chinese
