Those bearings were fine. What rust? Some witness marks in the bearing races where the rollers sat doesn't mean it's worn out.
They should be fine when you change them. It is not a repair.
@@maz9062 You never know when bearings explode. Better replace them sooner than later.
@@maz9062 good luck
@@jaegpsde3877 sure thing, just replace them every 2 weeks then
Rust or not, he removed them as to do an upgrade, had new ones so of course you'd fit them still. I wouldn't cut the races though, I'm sure there are tools to remove them, to close to causing damage.
As sponsored by Sealey.....Hope they paid you well Del.
It's easy to overlook just how much effort goes into the filming setup and post production, needless to say its appreciated Del.
Thanks Martin, i appreciate the kind feedback.
I’ve changed out my CB650SC’s std ball bearings to taper roller bearing and back to std, then back to taper again 20+ years ago. I remember the ..fun I had chasing down some front end weave. Got it put to rights, but watching you work your magic today was a real treat. Somebody who really knows what he’s doing restores my faith just bit in mankind. Thanks for showing us how it should be done! 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Thank you for your kind words mate.
Poetry in motion! Liking the new tools Del must investigate further. I've heated up frozen bearing races in the past which just spin off. Great idea hanging everything perfect solution. Looking forward to paint!
Take care both. 🇸🇪🇬🇧👋🏻😊
Nice new tool sir
But what wrong with threaded bar nuts and washers 😂😂🤘🤘
Always ask Santa for tools mate..!!!
@@Moonfleet41 lol
Great job del , I've been dry washing my bike from day one , what a blessing 👍🏼
Nice one
something i still need to learn: where is it safe to mount or jack something up
Nice video, again!
Proper handy having those tools Del. I can see my tool box expanding now!!!
I never stop buying tools Nick, the best investment you can ever make aye.
@@Moonfleet41 I know what you mean mate, just haven't got the balls to tell the wife I'm buying some new tools!!!
Looking forward to se what you do with the paint bruv. She looks bang tidy now. Stay safe and well peeps.
Cheers Ray, really looking forward to the paint project, making a start this week!
Merry Christmas del and penny have a great 2022 let's have good health too
Thank you Simon, wishing you the same for a blessed year, keep safe and stay in touch, D&Px
I changed the bearings in my Speed Triple last year, they were totally knackered and rusty, I wish I’d have had the tools you used though, would have been much easier! :)
Watching you whack things with your palms always makes me wince. You have nerve endings there --- look after them!
Excellent job Sir , may I ask why you cut the top rase and tapped the bottom out , or is it just different technique
Hi Andy.. .the top cup was really tight and refused to shift, so i just cut it to save having to hammer too hard.. but the bottom one drifted out a lot easier... just working with the least trauma to the bike where possible mate... Have a great weekend both of you and keep safe aye.
@@Moonfleet41 you too sir , have a great weekend
Well done.
Another great easy to follow job.Was good to notice that you tightened the handle bar clamps front first and let the rear bolts take up the slack- so to speak.
And again, you’ve sent me looking for more Sealey tools.
Don’t know if I can afford you- -
Sorry Nick, Santa brought me some new items this year to make life a little easier, I seem to do so many head bearings it was worth the investment... and yeah, with the bar clamps, it's a BMW design that seems pretty logical to me... the Germans always think in a logical way with things like that, apparently you torque up the front bolts first, then nip up the rears to set the bars in place!
What a funny (and true) statement at the start of the video, Del.
Good that you have such a helpful roof construction that lifts the bike's front parts. Good that you change the already worn bearings. Another step towards riding again with a born-again Hudky.
Cheers, Günter from Nürnberg/Germany
Thanks Günter👍, im glad you enjoyed the video.
Looking forward to the panel work buddy 👍🏻 Nice tools . With the amount of bearings you change it's a great investment .
Peace and love brother 👍🏻☮♥️
Thanks Buddy..👍 I always ask Santa for tools, i have enough socks, and who needs aftershave at our age aye..!! Have a great weekend and stay safe chap.D&Pxx
Good video. What are the sockets called that you used at 3min 13secs to undo the washer on the head, and the tool at 7min to insert the cups for the bearings?
and just like that another bit ticked off happy new year to you both del all the best for 2022 m8
You too buddy, thanks for watching..!
Nice video Del and Penny. Job well done mate and that bearing race Installer is the business + the C spanner set, more money you are going to cost me LOL. Penny and you have a relaxing weekend and take care. Cheers
Sorry mate, I must have been good last year as Santa brought me the things I asked for, I never liked hammering the bearing cups in to place, and this way it's a lot more sensible just to press them in gently. Have a great weekend, keep safe and stay in touch, D&Px
Where's penny ?
When in doubt, get the bungees out! Been there, some exactly the same. Whatever works eh! 👍🏻
Exactly Juan....You got that right!
Nice one Del, I fitted head stock bearing with the help of your videos! Great job.
Thanks Dan.. Glad it helped you mate.
It is always a good moment to watch your videos and I learn so much about working on bikes. Ty
Great video Del I don't know why but when the metal seal slid down the steerer it sounded like the tardis ha ha you are doing such a good job at transforming this bike!
Much love D&P
Thanks Marc👍 I'm glad you're enjoying the project, ill be starting the paint work soon, that should really define the finish. Have a great weekend mate. D&Pxx
@@Moonfleet41 on with powder coating my mountain bike at the moment. Got two bikes on the go buying high end bikes and upgrading the components.
Will you be looking to do your own powder coating in the future Del.
Nice job once again mate.
Are you going to be servicing the front forks while you have access?
Nick Australia
Hi Nick, not sure if you caught the video, but I changed the fork oil a little while back, the seals are perfect so they're good to go... have a great weekend mate.
@@Moonfleet41 thanks mate
Sometimes the old memory lets me down a bit.
Have a good one and you two keep safe well.
Regards
Nick Australia
Appreciate as always Del and Penny. Have a great weekend.
Thanks Shaun, you too mate!
Hey Delboy, good to see you.
Can you point me to that cutter attachment you used? Love the wide cut it makes.
Thank you and thank you.
Hi Rafael, I got it at a tool fair, but this is an example of what you're looking for, hope that helps! www.tooled-up.com/boa-382-rotary-thread-rescue-tool/prod/322264/
@@Moonfleet41, absolutely!! Thank you!
I see someone has some cool new tool toys.. 😃😃😃
Yeah, always ask Santa for tools aye.! who needs aftershave and socks.!
Del, did you torque the nut per factory specs with tapered bearings or ? Getting ready to to replace/upgrade to tapered on my 06 VFR800.
No spec in the manual for tapers on this bike..so i went with the setting for the Gold Wing, as a guide/test.. (14Nm), and the sweep action feels perfect... i will check them again with a "fall away" check once the wheels and mudguard etc is all in.!
having the gear and knowing how to use it top work again del does penny help you with the filming cos it is top notch
Thanks for your kind words mate, it's a joint effort.
Well if nothing else Del your channel should help people see that the right tools for the job are infinitely better than a vise grips and bad language! Looking forward to seeing this one done .go streethawk😀
ha ha Streehawk! Now that shows your age, what awesome TV shows we had in the 70's aye?!
@@Moonfleet41 the way streaming services are going now i fully expect to see it return..this time i suppose the bike's piloted by a diverse crew cos....reasons..I didn't think it could be made worse than it was originally but i'd be suspicious all the same now🤣
Interesting to hear your comments on jet washing. I never jet wash my bike, good old fashioned sponge and soapy water after a scrub down with de-greaser. Then just wash it all off gently with several buckets of warm water, and leather it dry. Were the headstock bearings universal, or are they an individual fit, they did look the same, but the camera CAN lie.
I bought the specified size bearings for this model, they were labeled for about 4 other, similar bikes too in the box.. so a pretty common size id say!
You are a professional.
Okay, next time I buy a threaded rod let's say M12?
And also a cutting tool made of metal rather than stone, and also the direction of rotation that takes the chips down and does not scatter them up... OK👍🤣
You too have a mark left on the chassis 5:12
5:25 "Please help me Obi Wan, do you have a number for 'Floor-Paint-Repairman'? - we've dropped a bit of a clanger." : )x
The chisel landed an inch from my foot...thank goodness for Toetecters !
Good to see you again Delboy. Your videos have been so helpful to me when working on the Dyna and Triumph. This was super helpful too. Have you ever thought about working on the older bikes? eg. ‘60’s Norton and Triumphs? All the best from Putnam Valley NY.
Hi Ian, Glad the videos have been helpful. With classic and vintage bikes, the cost of a donor bike is prohibitive, and the ongoing cost of rare parts too can mount up out of control. Same goes for old Harleys, look how much you have to pay for something like a '65 Shovelhead !! just don't have the budget for those kinds of projects.. but of course, i would love to if i could.
@@Moonfleet41 Thanks Delboy, I understand. There is a dearth of people doing the pre oil in frame maintenance on CZcams so I just had to ask. I trust your easy to follow instructions more than any posters out there and always refer to you for my 2013 Thruxton jobs. Thanks a lot from an expat Brit 👍
Nice
I changed mine last year but without any of the special tools you have. Looks like they save alot of time and nervs :D
Nice job, as always. Cheers.
Hang on a minute , you told us how to do something but never said those immortal words , " but you knew that didn't you ". I want a refund lol .
Nicely done with the rafters done that myself on countless times to hold things up for a short period of time
It's turning into a lovely looking bike , not that it wasn't to begin with .
Thanks Del and Penny .
Great job, Del and Penny. Of course, as soon as I saw that bearing installer set I had to go looking for one - found and bookmarked, unlike the Sealey Blind Bearing Puller set - nothing on I've found on this side of the pond measures up. In any case, wonderful video as always and happy weekend to both of you!
Hey John, Good call, the bearing press makes such an easy job of installing the cups without hammering them in.. Have a great weekend too and keep safe sir.. D&Px
I had such a game upgrading the head bearings on an NX650. Getting the cups out was horrible. Wish I'd seen this before. Brilliant video as always and the quality of production is excellent. Great job 👍
Thanks mate. Glad it helped, and yeah, the bearing cups can be stubborn, every little trick we can share helps aye..
That was quick!! same factory fitted bearings on my TR650 (owned from new) when i replaced them last year. I don't power wash but mine were very rusty after 28,000 miles and she's kept in the livingroom.
Nice one you guys - usual great stuff - so looking forward to the paint stage - thanks as always for sharing - go safe!
Thanks Mike👍, got a maintenance job to do on the Harley next, then it's headlong into the paint project, got all of it to do, and really looking forward to it. Have a great weekend mate.
That was lovely to watch, thanks :)
Guiltily thinking back 41 years ago, out in the back alley with my 350LC on it's side, and me with a carpenter's claw hammer and long steel spike, cursing a blue streak while installing new tapered rollers to replace the knackered-from-wheelies OEM ball bearings, I sure do find watching you do these therapeutic and soul soothing, lol
That was me too mate, RD250 DX on 'L' plates.. 17 and keen as mustard, used to lean mine on an old mattress we had in the garden !
👍👍
Nice tool that bearing press going to order one 👍
Great presentation. Your editing in fast forward beats the doldrums of a long drawn-out video. Great job!
Thanks Ray. I appreciate that!
Great video brother !!!! so excited for this one 👍 The steering bearing press is awesome 👏 I have to get one soon ! stay safe guys cheers from new york!!!! 🥂🥂🥂🥂
Sure thing brother, the one part of replacing head bearings is having to hammer the cups in which is always a little scary as they're so hard and brittle, far nicer to press them in gently... I'm always looking to upgrade and invest in tools to make my work easier and safer... stay safe both, have a great weekend, D&Px
Excellent; the use of tools to place without damaging the tapered bearings
I always wait for those "special effects" that you print very good sound and slow motion of the fall
I think that manufacturers place balls instead of cones because it does not matter the duration, in the end the water will run out before the pressure wear
those cones on my heavy duty pickup can last 180,000 miles properly adjusted and lubricated
but if the water enters it will destroy them easily
so the manufacturer places a cheaper ball bearing because the conical will not be an advantage in duration
hug from patagonia
You make good comments sir, i agree that manufacturers do little to ensure longevity these days.
Great Job Del as always. I wish we could get some of those Sealy Tools here in the US.
I was able to buy a Sealey 10 piece bridge bearing puller set on Amazon. Featured on another Del video replacing wheel bearings. So at least some tools are accessible. Being shipped to me from the UK. In some videos Del has links in the video descriptions to a UK website where you can probably order and have shipped to the USA.
Peter's right, Sealey ship worldwide, you just need to locate a supplier... at the moment the guys at Spanner Monkey are struggling a little with export orders due to various restrictions, but bigger firms like Amazon aren't, if in doubt contact Sealey directly in the UK to place your order and they should be able to sort out shipping for you through one of their suppliers.
@@Moonfleet41 Awesome thanks for the info...
@@petergaylord4241 That's good to know. Thanks!!
Be careful what you wish for springs to mind, you're really not missing out.
Génial!
Jet washing your radiator is a silly idea :/ Recently I hosed my bike soaking some connectors behind the headlamp. It caused a lot of problems for me.Silly.
Great video again . Many Thanks.
Great job Del, it's great seeing you use all those great tools, I've got to replace my head bearings and i dont have access to anything like those - oh what fun!
You can still do head bearings with basic hand tools, the old videos are still there, nothing's changed... it may take a little longer, but the job's the same, good luck with it!
Fantastic
Thanks mate.
Nice video Del, I’ve never seen how forks are removed and reassembled. Looking good mate.
Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it. Have a good weekend.
Hanging also means you don't need to disconnect the wiring.
If anyone can post a link to a good set of drifts I would be keen to see it. I've struggled to find something with the right angle of curve at the tip - oooh err missus!
Del I really liked the lighting in the ending scene. You should totally go with some customizable lighting!
Thanks Marshall, i appreciate the feedback.
Bloody hell that was fast!! Crazy how worn those bearings were!
I never even knew that there was a bearing press of that nature. Thanks for the video. Has me considering adding more to the tool box though as i have 2 bikes with approx 40,000 km each!
Hey buddy, yes i had it on the wish list for a long time, always got by with threaded bar or just tapping them in.. but this year i asked Santa nicely and got lucky..! a great way to insert the cups with no drama.
Awesome vid with your great lessons and presented with some kickass production work. You both are really something! And how lucky will the next owner of this bike be????
🏍👍🏍
Thanks so much Gary, great top hear form you and thank you for your kind words, have a great weekend and keep safe both.
@@Moonfleet41 both of you as well! 😎
Its increasingly common for bikes to come off production lines with insufficient grease on critical bearings, and it doesn't help if a "technician" without knowing the factory torque settings has over tightened the stem. Both problems I have encountered.....along with that perennial favourite "a chimp with a pressure washer".
Ha ha.. i like that.!! And yeah, im hearing this a lot in folks comments, many finding practically dry bearings from the factory !! and this is the result aye.!
Good job fella, your bang on with the water blaster, bearing and seal manufacturers must love'm
I actually like doing steering head bearings and races. I have done several of my friends bikes this winter. Those were pretty bad. Investing in the tools to do it makes the job not so difficult.
Nicely done!! Seems that bike came out of bottom of lake for how much corrosion and rust it has!! Love the bearing tools you have. Nice!!
With your experience and proper tools, you make that look easy! When I do work like that, a video would be filled with cursing and flung tools…😆
Hi! Delboy's Just a quick note ,please don't pay attention too a you tuber , nasty guys who comment negatively about your videos , please keep going , it just some people in this world have to complaint or criticize others all time , anyways take care Robert ,Australia
Thank you Robert, there will always be pitiful, negative people on the internet, but it's wasted breath mate and we are business as usual, thank you for your support.
