Super helpful video mate, just inspecting a knocking/crunching from the rear wheel, Think my hub bearings might be shot. This will certainly make the disasembly easier. Thank you 👍
Great video. Made it look easy. though i will make it harder for myself, as i would change, chain sprocket, brake pads, maybe chain and front sprocket and rear tyre..while its apart...lol
Side note: (the centre caps) drive side is a bung with o rings, straight pull may require some leverage to get it started. Wheel side is on a screw thread, i use a strap wrench to start it off, then knock in to release the core from the axle, continue to unscrew by hand, reach around through the axle from the drive side for extra friction if required 😉
question do i have to take off or loosin the left side nut b4 taking off the right side if I'm just taking the wheel off to install a new tyre? I'm on a 955i thanks great vid btw
Great help - thanks for posting this step-by-step vid. I'm doing the same job on a '98 955 Daytona/S3, but I will be replacing all the bearings. What are you using for cleaning? (by the way, your method of keeping the spacers, washers, nuts and all in order with twine is brilliant. I'm nearly 70 - been doing this for a long time, but that's a new one and a really good idea). Thanks again!
lol I like how you simply pulled the axle out with one hand. The reality on some bikes that haven't been looked after is it needs a really really big hammer to do that.
I would like to know the answer to this also. I’m guessing once everything is clean and dry that if you can slide it back in fairly easily and turn it with the tool with no grease on then no grease is needed? Like with regular chain blocks. But what about water over time?
