Once upon a time I didn't think this was necessary due to sealed bearings. Yesterday I put new bighorns on and discovered my front right bearing had gone bad only after 750 miles. Then the left bearing that had 2500 miles on it fell apart once I pulled the axle out of the hub. Had to replace both front bearings in the cold yesterday. Just ordered one. Thank you
Hey man ! I feel you pain, I did the same thing with my old grizzly, I replaced the wheel bearings all aorund with "All Balls" brand of wheel bearing, I figured they came greased... I was wrong haha must have just been some assemby grease in there, they didnt last long. My new bike I wanted to do better maintanance with the bearings and hear lots about the MI tool, so I thought I'd give it a try. I hope it works out for ya !!
all you have to remove on the front is the lower ball joint....on the rear just remove the lower bolt and the axle nuts of course...when installing the axle nuts install them on a different axle that way the lock is in a different spot..I have 2500 kms on my 2019 grizzly ,I grease the pivot shafts after every ride,,I have greased my bearings replaced brake pads and have had to replace 2 rear outer ripped boots.luv the 2019 ride and the steering is much easier than my 09..thanks for sharing another great video.
Hey Brian ! thanks for leaving me a comment man, I appreciate it ! Sounds like you really look after your machine ! I agree with ya, the ride is much smoother on the newer Grizzlies and I love the power steering (I never thought i'd admit that haha) I haven't had to replace anything on my 2017 2100km other than oil changes and cleaning the air filter.
Did you know there's a Service Bulletin out for "ALL 2016-2018 700 Grizzlies" regarding the piston ring is to small causing it to smoke when cold, and burn oil more regularly? Yamaha won't do a thing about it because it's not safety related! Do you notice either of the two aforementioned? I have a 2016, and it's cursed with this major issue that Yamaha has dropped the ball on! Great video. I'm just a bit confused how the grease gets into a sealed bearing? Hope you can help?
@@imagoodmann Hey man ! I did see a notice go out but I haven't received anything from yamaha. apparently they will only do work on the bike if it is actually smoking or burning oil.... mine doesn't (as of now) so I might go in and get some questions answered. maybe make a video out of it. YES I Know I was wondering the sae thing haha apparently there is two bearings in each hub, the outside of each bearing is sealed but the inside of each bearing is not. They both meet in the middle of the hub and there is a small gap between them, so the grease tool fits in and forces grease into the non sealed, inner parts of the bearings. you will see grease come out the front and back when it's filled. I hope I explained that right.... I could be totally off haha but I believe that to be true.

Hey ! you're the second guy to mention the one that goes over th axels, that's awesome ! I'm jealous haha glad you liked the video, and didn't get "offended" by my buddies comment hahaha it's all in good fun.
@@Maritimer ride what you like is how I look at it. I like my Polaris, but I also really like the Yamaha's. Price was a big factor for me and I'm fortunate enough that the wife allowed me to even get either Haha. The bearing greaser works good as far as I know. I just got them and haven't used them yet but all the videos I've watched, they look pretty easy to use. Besides that it's a long, cold winters here in Manitoba so it keeps my hands dirty during those rough months lol.
yeah I agree with ya, it really doesn't matter to me too much what you ride, I just like seeing people on the trails. Oh yeah it gets cold out your way !
Hey ! yeah man it's supposed to really help your bearings ! im told there are newer models from MI and some cheaper ones that do the same thing on eBay from China, so do your research and get what's best for you.
Oh man.... those things are impossible. I was able to get mine because I had the wheel and bunch of parts disconnected haha what a bad design by Yamaha, I think you can replace them with grease nipples with a 45* angle on them, that may help.
Grizzlies are amazing bikes but I'm having a really hard time weather to just start rebuilding my 20 year old grizzly or buy a new one? I can definitely freshen up the motor and everything else for a quarter of the price than buying a new one.
Hey man ! yeah I hear ya, they are solid bikes..... we'll I guess it all comes down to do you want the payments of a new machine or will you be just as happy and go all the same places with your old bike? Good luck ! Cheers !
Hey man, which bolt are you talking about? the wheel nuts get tightened until they are tight and the notch lines up with the other notch, im sure there is a specific torque for it, but if the notches don't line up, you'd have to tighten/losen. Everything else I just go by feel, except the wheel nuts. I Hope that answered your question. All torque specs are in the owners manual or online.
Hey Q! Always a nice little tool to have in the garage for sure, plus if you have a buddy with the same bike, you can go splits on it, or be a nice guy (like myself) and loan it to him/her haha thanks for watching !
@@Maritimer Did you buy yours on-line or at a store? I used the link you provided, which took me to the MI website, but they don't deliver to Canada. (oh, and I don't use ebay)
im sure if you had a bearing press and you could press the bearings out, then you can hand pack the grease in the bearings..... this is just easier. there are different ones too, you dont only need Machined Integrations one. as far as a link there may be one in the description Or just google Machined Integrations and goto their website, you can click the make/model of your machine and they will send ya the right tool.
@@Maritimer I have tried since I viewed your video on the Machine Integrations wheel bearing tool to purchase one. I have been unsuccessful in contacting them, they must be out of business. Do you know of any business around you that might have one for sale? Thanks!
Hey ! thanks ! and you're right ! but you have to make sure the axel nut notch lines up with the other notch (that you saw me hit down with a hammer and punch) that keeps the nut on there and not backing off. so I tightened using the impact then tighten until the notches line up. I'm no mechanic, this was just to give you an idea of how to go about using this tool.
Hold your hand behind the paper at 1:30 so it blocks all the background, that way auto-focus works better 😉 --> another tip, like baking your steak from that other video hehehe...
RzR have no grease in them and a very poor seal I've had 2 of them. I put in as many as 25 shots of grease. But now I have a Wolverine, problem solved. But they have their weak point too.
Exactly, the proof is that the shops in China all offer this piece for a ridiculous price:fr.aliexpress.com/item/32961870928.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.614c26dbKp8xx7&algo_pvid=8db565ef-66ed-4d66-89e7-c8d255d5e86b&algo_expid=8db565ef-66ed-4d66-89e7-c8d255d5e86b-0&btsid=5ef375bc-21f5-4efb-b4fb-9aa4c8ebdbc3&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_55
Oh really? I haven't heard about bad seals in their bearings, I was just going by a video I saw, and I like to poke fun at other brands also haha they all have weak points, no getting around that. I Love those Wolverines, i'll have a test ride video coming out soon of the Wolverine R Spec x2.
Hey buddy ! Yeah we had to run to a buddies to get a bigger socket too, I cant remember if it was 1 1/8 or 1 1/16. maybe if you ask on the Grizzly FB group or a google search, might find it. sorry
27mm. I have a 2009 Grizzly 550 and I’ve had all of the hubs off several times. The mud where I ride can’t be avoided and it’s hard on bearings, seals and brakes.
hahaha Yes Sir !!!! the Machined Integrations tool worked really good ! it was expensive though (around $100) but I've been told there are cheaper ones on the market that also work good and some you don't need to take the hub off to use.... not sure how that works haha but some guys swear by it.
Hey ! ahhhh you should price up bearings haha not cheap, even shitty "All Balls" bearings are pretty expensive. and those don't last. I'm at like 3500km on my OEM Yamaha Bearings now.
Yeah I've had one guy say that to me.... but I'm not sure why ATV bearings would be any different than any other bearing... they all need grease... haha I dont really subscribe to that way of thinking, I packed mine when I did this video (I cant remember when this was) but I haven't done it sense, I'm at 3800km and the stock bearings are still going strong... so...
Thats awesome it cn slide over the axel... I wonder if it works as good, you'd think it would need the axel out of there to get at the bearing better... "good video even tho its for a grizzly lol" I knew the Polaris guys would get butt hurt over my buddies comment hahahaha jk buds.
haha Oh I just mentiones I saw a guy put like 13 pumps of grease in his RZR bearings, and he said "you cant even have too much grease for a RZR" so nothing too bad haha
I have 4000 miles on my 2014 700 and just changed the bearings all wheels along with brake pads. I guess what I am saying is, that's a lot of work to grease sealed bearings. Are you sure the grease got inside the bearings?
Hey man ! you make a valid argument, but the bearings are sealed on both outside edges, the grease tool presses the grease in through the middle of the two (not sealed on the inside edge) thats how it was explained to me. my old 2008 grizzly, the OEM bearings lasted for about 4000klm too and then I replaced with "All Balls" bearings (they were cheaper) and they were complete junk, replaced them twice then went back with new OEM Yamaha ones before I sold it.
@@Maritimer I'm just playing. I'm glad you have a good sense of humor. I love your content man. I wish we had as nice of an atv trail system down here in Washington state
Hey just wana say the motomaster grease is basically no good compared to lucas red n tacky. It would take too long to explain but grease is one thing we cant cheap out on! On a hot day the motomaster would basically wash out, lucas probly lasts 3x longer and beats all other grease in every category
Hey ! thanks for the heads up man, next time I will try and find red and tacky. any idea if that stuff is OK in the winter months? it gets cold here haha
@@Maritimer yes it would be fine for winter, it basically takes longer to wash out and it handles the temp fluctuation real well thats why I think its fine for winter. I always use the red rtv as well for sealing plastics I find the stuff rated for high temp tends to last. Thanks for your reply!
Are they still in business? I ve been trying to get in touch with them for 2 weeks to order a bearing grease tool and I can't get a response back either by phone or email, any idea s?
Hey man, from what I read on the Yamaha Grizzly FB group, he is really behind and overwhelmed right now. Some guys paid for their tool and still haven't received it,, partly due to the COVID thing going on..... I know there are other brands who make the tool, maybe one of those will work for ya?
Hey man ! ahh I guess it depends on how much riding yu do and what type of riding. if your a mud guy you will probably need to grease them more often to get the dirt out of the bearings. I trail ride 99% of the time so its a lot easier on bearings, so I think one a year would be more than enough for me. Also if you run big heavy mud tires that can be harder on the bearings.
Hey ! oh yeah? I've never had any issue with the Yamaha bearings, my Grizz is at 3000+ km and still original bearings/brakes/bushings. My guess is they all buy them from the same manufacturer.
BEING ABLE TO MAINTAIN YOUR OWN ATV'S IS A GREAT SAVING ON RUNNING COST'S, MORE VID'S LIKE THIS PLEASE, MICK UK.

I dont really subscribe to that way of thinking, I packed mine when I did this video (I cant remember when this was) but I haven't done it sense, I'm at 3800km and the stock bearings are still going strong... so...
the epi one i have you don't need to pull the wheel bearing off. it slides over the axles. good video even tho its for a grizzly lol
Thats awesome it cn slide over the axel... I wonder if it works as good, you'd think it would need the axel out of there to get at the bearing better... "good video even tho its for a grizzly lol" I knew the Polaris guys would get butt hurt over my buddies comment hahahaha jk buds.
@@Maritimer works great for my use lol. i actually didn't hear you buddys comment to be honest. what was it lol
haha Oh I just mentiones I saw a guy put like 13 pumps of grease in his RZR bearings, and he said "you cant even have too much grease for a RZR" so nothing too bad haha
I have 4000 miles on my 2014 700 and just changed the bearings all wheels along with brake pads. I guess what I am saying is, that's a lot of work to grease sealed bearings. Are you sure the grease got inside the bearings?
Hey man ! you make a valid argument, but the bearings are sealed on both outside edges, the grease tool presses the grease in through the middle of the two (not sealed on the inside edge) thats how it was explained to me. my old 2008 grizzly, the OEM bearings lasted for about 4000klm too and then I replaced with "All Balls" bearings (they were cheaper) and they were complete junk, replaced them twice then went back with new OEM Yamaha ones before I sold it.
I thought you guys used maple syrup to lube your wheel bearings?
hahahahahaha No No, we use grease. Maple Syrup is what we use to shine the bikes up ! haha
@@Maritimer I'm just playing. I'm glad you have a good sense of humor. I love your content man. I wish we had as nice of an atv trail system down here in Washington state
Hey just wana say the motomaster grease is basically no good compared to lucas red n tacky. It would take too long to explain but grease is one thing we cant cheap out on! On a hot day the motomaster would basically wash out, lucas probly lasts 3x longer and beats all other grease in every category
Hey ! thanks for the heads up man, next time I will try and find red and tacky. any idea if that stuff is OK in the winter months? it gets cold here haha
@@Maritimer yes it would be fine for winter, it basically takes longer to wash out and it handles the temp fluctuation real well thats why I think its fine for winter. I always use the red rtv as well for sealing plastics I find the stuff rated for high temp tends to last. Thanks for your reply!
Are they still in business? I ve been trying to get in touch with them for 2 weeks to order a bearing grease tool and I can't get a response back either by phone or email, any idea s?
Hey man, from what I read on the Yamaha Grizzly FB group, he is really behind and overwhelmed right now. Some guys paid for their tool and still haven't received it,, partly due to the COVID thing going on..... I know there are other brands who make the tool, maybe one of those will work for ya?
@@Maritimer thanks you, do you have any suggestions? I ve been looking but no luck trying to find one for a Yamaha, only polaris
No sorry, I dont know of any other brands... did you just try googling Yamaha wheel bearing grease tool?
I have a question. How offend do you grease your wheel bearings?
Hey man ! ahh I guess it depends on how much riding yu do and what type of riding. if your a mud guy you will probably need to grease them more often to get the dirt out of the bearings. I trail ride 99% of the time so its a lot easier on bearings, so I think one a year would be more than enough for me. Also if you run big heavy mud tires that can be harder on the bearings.
WHY NOT DO VIDS TOGETHER! GREAT VID, GREAT GUY'S,>> GOOD REASON TO HIT THE LIKE/SUB BUTTON
thanks Mic ! I'm trying to convince him to make some videos.
Yamaha has small bearing Polaris use a lot bigger bearings
Hey ! oh yeah? I've never had any issue with the Yamaha bearings, my Grizz is at 3000+ km and still original bearings/brakes/bushings. My guess is they all buy them from the same manufacturer.
Grease that jack why you're at it😂
bahahahahahahaha !!!! best comment !
Some one should make a work table to get your ATV up off the floor so your not crawling around on your nuts. Or kootchie
hahaha have to be a strong table to support an ATV. I do have a small lift but I did this job at my buddies place.
