Its a proper bearing removal tool. I got a kit off ebay which has loads of different sizes in but probably will never use most of them. That was the first time I used it too so was simple to use. Removes the bearings straight so no chance of damaging the hub
The bearings came out easy with that tool. Thats the first time id used it too. Now you know what size to use too you can just carry those bits with you when you go away incase your bearings ever collapse. You can use a socket instead instead of the bearing driver. I just like tools :-)
I question the direction you are facing the seals. The open side of a seal, with the spring, always faces what you are trying to contain. When you have open bearings that you hand-pack, like the front wheel bearings on a car, the seal is inserted the way you did it here. In this case, the bearings are sealed so there is no grease or oil to contain. The purpose of the seal here is to keep contaminants out so the seal open side/spring should face outward. That's the way they were on my bike when I just changed the bearings. I also just checked my service manual... if you look closely at the cross-section drawing of the rear axle/hub assembly, the open sides of the seals are shown facing outward and the spacer then slips into the lips.
Every DRZ400 I have seen has the rear wheel dust seals facing spring out from the factory. Michael gives a possible reason they are like that, but it doesn't explain why the front wheel seal is the other way! I reinstall them spring in, with lots of grease, keeps the spring from rusting if nothing else.
You are correct, if it is fitted the other way round it will just compress and distort the seal because there will be a void behind it. That is why all manuals and Suzuki diagrams show it fitted the opposite way to this video.
Nice video tutorial but just a question; should you place the wheel.on your brake discs or the rubber of the wheel? Can you bed, damage, or warp the brake discs doing it this way?
Looks almost exactly like the procedure for my DR650, so super helpful video. I hadn't seen that removal tool before, so I'll have to snag one of those. Also, I really liked that bearing driver tool you used. Seems a bit safer than some videos I've seen where they beat on their bearings with a hammer and punch. I noticed you didn't use any waterproof grease when installing the new bearings. Was that because they're already a sealed unit, or just preference?
+dustysquito the bearings are sealed. I did put a bit of sticky spray lube on the hub before knocking the bearing in. Removal tool was just off eBay. Hasn't let me down yet but does sometimes take a bit of hammering the tool in to make it tight enough to get the bearing out.
you probably dont give a damn but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the password. I love any tips you can give me!
@Alijah Tate thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Hey Muddy: thanks for this. I just bought that same extraction kit, forty five bucks off Amazon, no guide though. Yr video very helpful... heading out to the garage now to put it to work. Cheers (by the way, what sort of lame troll would give you a thumbs down: thumbs up!)
Hello, dear friend. I put one bearing completely inside the seat, but the original spacer is about 0.5 mm bigger and the second bearing does not fit completely inside the seat. Does this not cause a problem? If I hit the second bearing more, they become completely stiff and it is no longer possible to rotate the bearings with a finger. Thanks.
what is the center spacer called that u put in second the big long thing. I need one because my old one is bent or is there a way I can unbend it because it is only a little bent
Got it on ebay. Don't think it was that much, in the middle of doing a video about it now. You can get all the parts seperate too, theres some in the kit that will never get used
Actually I looked since commenting, and saw they are much cheaper than they were a few years ago, they are a fraction of the cost, and more plentiful in options. Seemed like you could only by OE stuff before on ebay
I got videos about them both. The installer is made by motion pro, I bought it from adventure spec here in the uk. The remover is off eBay, search for bearing driver. You can get a kit like what I got or get the parts separate.
That outer bearing is 47mm? Biggest socket i have is 32mm, with an OD of 42mm, do you think i would get away with using that or do i need to buy a kit? the cheaper ones on ebay only go up to about 42mm from what ive seen too, dont really want to pay for the motion pro that i will only use a few times.
Can put some wooden blocks under the hub if you wanted. There’s not much force going into the hub though cause the bearing is sliding in. I’d put something down if it was a nicer wheel. My drz wheels couldn’t get much worse 😄
should of had to bits of wood under there mate surprised ya never bent ya break disk and ya should of put ya bar through when ya do the first side keeps the other side level when ya put them in
Quick question maybe you know the answer.. So I also have two bearings sprocket side, however the outer large bearing is damaged, the inner race came loose. do you thinks still possible to knock them out using this tool to reach the innner smaller bearing to knockthem both out at the same time? great video btw really makes it an easy job and reducing the chances of damaging the hub, gave a like and thanks for sharing
@@MuddySump thanks for the reply, and yeah worth a try, ill get the disc side of first and then worst case if it doesnt work ill just use an appropriate sized socket on an extension bar to beat them both out. Nice one definitely buying that motion pro set such a great device for a fair price too.
Some grocers carry it but you have to ask, maybe ask around or google. The last time I tried was just with ice from the freezer, got that idea from a kid who said he puts his wheel in a deepfreezer overnight, but I don't have one and the store is over an hour away. Not sure if that worked though because the race cracked in half when I was chiseling and it came right out. They tend to be brittle. A note on the punch, it needs to be squared off instead of pointed. Ig you can't get purchase on the race you can dremel in notches. Alternate blows, 180* then 90* then 180 repeat.
Все не правильно прежде чем выколачивать, ступицу нагрей гарелкой подшипник сам вылетит так же и с установкой погрел и от руки вставил ,смотреть больно как ты эту дичь делаешь ,так ступицу и разбивают дурак
Watched a few of your DRZ vida now, No messing. Simple. To the point. Cheers mate
Thanks 👍🏻
Excellent video, simple and straight forward.
Thanks

@@drewsXR650Lsealey ms062. Don’t think mine is sealey branded but that’s the tool
Wow! Good job! Thanks!

these jobs look easy when you have the right tool :) never had to change a wheel bearing yet, but I might one of these days lol
Hi mate, great video, really like the way you explain what your doing,it makes doing the job that much easier!!
Thanks!!
Robin
No problem. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
what kind off tools do you use for removing the bearing..
I think you may have put your seals in backwards. My rear wheel seals on my brand new DRZ400SM have the spring to the outside.
No, those seals definitely go that way. They would fill up with dirt otherwise.
Fantastic, thank you 👍
Thanks
Awesome removal tool. Never seen one. Off to ebay to buy one.
Thanks!
+norincobro 👍🏼
Very helpful video. Thank you.

+Michael Ragonese but the. It would just get full of dirt? I've never seen one facing that way on any bike before

+Dipper BoY can't reply to your comment. It's not chain lube, pretty similar though. It's a sticky lubricant by wurth. HHS2000
They'll feel rough/knotchy when turning them with your fingers. Might also have some sideways movement in them if they're really bad
Nice video tutorial but just a question; should you place the wheel.on your brake discs or the rubber of the wheel? Can you bed, damage, or warp the brake discs doing it this way?
They’re flat on the floor so shouldn’t be too bad for it. I put it on a couple blocks of wood under the hub now
Nicely done :)

Hello, dear friend. I put one bearing completely inside the seat, but the original spacer is about 0.5 mm bigger and the second bearing does not fit completely inside the seat. Does this not cause a problem? If I hit the second bearing more, they become completely stiff and it is no longer possible to rotate the bearings with a finger. Thanks.
It should fit in as normal. Is it the right bearings?
@@MuddySump Hello. Thank you for your response. Yes, the size of the bearing is completely correct. Only 0.5 mm is the central spacer longer.
what tool did you use to get the bearings out? is it just a plain socket from a socket wrench set? ive never seen this method.
its what i just used
what is the center spacer called that u put in second the big long thing. I need one because my old one is bent or is there a way I can unbend it because it is only a little bent
+Dan Likes Bikes hi dan. It's just called a spacer. How did you manage to bend it? Don't think you'll be able to straighten it without making it worse
Where did you get the drift/bearing removing kit? I was going to purchase one a while back but it was a fortune.
Got it on ebay. Don't think it was that much, in the middle of doing a video about it now. You can get all the parts seperate too, theres some in the kit that will never get used
Actually I looked since commenting, and saw they are much cheaper than they were a few years ago, they are a fraction of the cost, and more plentiful in options. Seemed like you could only by OE stuff before on ebay
can you provide a link for those tools? Im searching the internet since 1 hour and cant find anything like this - thank you
I got videos about them both. The installer is made by motion pro, I bought it from adventure spec here in the uk. The remover is off eBay, search for bearing driver. You can get a kit like what I got or get the parts separate.
That outer bearing is 47mm?

the cheaper ones on ebay only go up to about 42mm from what ive seen too, dont really want to pay for the motion pro that i will only use a few times.
Tool needs to sit on the outside surface of the bearing. If you knock it in resting on the seal it will push the seal in onto the bearings
Don't you worry about the opposite side of the wheel getting damaged when you are hammering down on it on a concrete floor?
Can put some wooden blocks under the hub if you wanted. There’s not much force going into the hub though cause the bearing is sliding in. I’d put something down if it was a nicer wheel. My drz wheels couldn’t get much worse 😄
Don’t hammer your rotor into concrete. This is an awful idea
this tool damage de bearings? it´s possible to reuse them?
I’ve only knocked out bad bearings with them, they can take a bit of a hit to get some of them out, not sure how much damage it causes
nice video! thank you
+FlatBlackBurb thanks 👍🏼
Can you link the bearing kit you bought thanks
The bearing were from all balls. Can’t remember what kit it was. The tool is the motion pro bearing driver set
Thank you for sharing awesome where you get the tools what are they called?
Wheel bearing driver and extractors
@@MuddySump Thank you that tool is awesome.
Curious to know if you’ve still got the DRZ mate
Yes still got it. Hasn’t moved for about 5 years though 😣
What was the spray you were using on the hub
Wurth HSS 2000. Just some lubricating spray I had. Can just use a little bit of grease too
should of had to bits of wood under there mate surprised ya never bent ya break disk and ya should of put ya bar through when ya do the first side keeps the other side level when ya put them in
I do now.
No cush-drive on those things, yeah?
No, sprocket straight onto the hub
What size was the remover? Need one for my drz
Hi, it was the 20mm bit to remove them
Quick question maybe you know the answer.. So I also have two bearings sprocket side, however the outer large bearing is damaged, the inner race came loose. do you thinks still possible to knock them out using this tool to reach the innner smaller bearing to knockthem both out at the same time?
great video btw really makes it an easy job and reducing the chances of damaging the hub, gave a like and thanks for sharing
You can try it. Will have to get the punch part wedged in tight so the tool doesn’t keep sliding out of the bearing.
@@MuddySump thanks for the reply, and yeah worth a try, ill get the disc side of first and then worst case if it doesnt work ill just use an appropriate sized socket on an extension bar to beat them both out.
Nice one definitely buying that motion pro set such a great device for a fair price too.
can you use the old seals?
+CHRIS POOLE yea can do if they still look alright.
MuddySump thanks il just be a bit more careful with them what's the best alternative tool as a drift?
To get the bearings out? If you haven't got a proper tool a drift/punch will do it. Knock it out evenly
Thanks for your help mate
WILL THIS TOOL WORK ON ASIN SCOOTER LET ME KNOW THANK
NO IDEA. IF ITS TO FIT BEARINGS THEN IT SHOULD
THANK BRO
This same hub in ktm exc ?
Should be.
the problem is if the bearings got destroyed and only the upper ring of them left stuck inside, that really sucks if it happens
Good old hammer and punch technique for that 😅
Freezing the hub with dry ice contracts everything, sometimes that ring will just fall out. If not, hammer and punch...
@@coldsmokinable hammer and punch... i don't even know where i buy dry ice here
Some grocers carry it but you have to ask, maybe ask around or google. The last time I tried was just with ice from the freezer, got that idea from a kid who said he puts his wheel in a deepfreezer overnight, but I don't have one and the store is over an hour away.

man please put something under that rotor ,,,,
The garage floor was there 😅
I now use blocks of wood too

fernando venacci motion pro
@@MuddySump thanks very good video... the extractor too?
