URAL STEERING HEAD 2022

Ural steering head inspection and grease up. Far be it from me to suggest I have the knowledge or qualifications to call this an INSTRUCTIONAL video.
This is just my way of achieving an end.
It seems lubrication of the steering head does not have a high priority.
If riding a solo I could understand that. A solo is steered by counter steering and leaning. A sidecar is steered like an ATV using lock to lock steering inputs. To my thinking, much more of the bearing race is in play. By the way, there are NO seals in the steering head. The bearings are tapered roller bearings. in top and bottom. I found grease has been applied sparingly and is of unknown quality. Waterproofing and dust penetration in the long term will be an enemy.

Really good video. That has been on my list of things to do, but now I think I will keep putting it off for a while. Looks like quite the ordeal. Hanks for sharing!

Good to hear from you Allan. You have been missed. The biggest PITA is preventing tank damage. Some have removed the tank. Bars must be removed to access the top nuts. You could use the provided spanner if the tank was removed or protected..It is a longer process if using spanner only. Nuts are aluminium so gets butchered if not careful. Sockets are the go.

Well done mate, you won't regret the effort 👍

Single hex sockets and spanners are good, but can be a pain in tight spaces like these.

Nice info, Haitch.

@haitch1980 5 месяцев назад

In careful hands the pin punch and hammer are marvelous to get the hex around that little bit to engage the spanner again. Though I think Ural intended you take the top triple clamp completely off (giving access to the skinny hex) then use a socket to adjust it down. Bugger that.

@@haitch1980 yep. Years ago, I used to use a flat blade screwdriver and a hammer to put a notch in similar bolt heads/nuts. Angling the screwdriver then gave enough leverage to turn the bolt/nut. The pin punch is a much more elegant tool for the purpose.

Good stuff now you can come and do mine 🤣

One is enough for now. Glad you enjoyed it.

Great work. I need to do the same to Blural. Hoping that will fix the bad handling or it will mean replacing the steering head bearings. How is yours handling now Harry?

HI Geoff and Robin. It was ok before, just annoying that when I lifted the front I could feel, and hear a clunk plus see movement. Then I began to think how much grease Egor had put in there..Knowing there are no seals. Not tried it as weather down here has been crap. Hope you are both keeping well. Say hi to Robin.

I’ve just tried some spray lubricant as best I could to top & bottom races. If it makes any slight difference I’ll try your method. All the best to you & Marge.

@haitch1980 5 месяцев назад

@@geoffwormald3533 In truth, I pushed some grease in, then some Penrite spray lube,. Thinking it might help spread the grease.Perfection is pulling the races out, full inspection and proper repack. Ie 3/4 circ pack using the palm..But figured mine isn't that old.
