Hi, are replacing this Parts’s because it lacks up or?

[@yzhang8629]

Because they are old one almost worn out.

[@vilsan.r.9875]

​@@yzhang8629 can you share the parts numbers ?

[@Mark-Marine]

I don’t know you personally, but I actually enjoy your videos. However, why was it you replaced the wheels themselves as the tread appeared fine?

[@yzhang8629]

The dust on the surface of the wheel emphasizes the depth of the tread, which makes it look a lot deeper than it actually is.

[@shanew7361]

I have the Honda HRX 217HYA and the rear wheels every year squeak like hell. Usually grease the gear and lasts until next year. Annoying as hell.

[@yzhang8629]

Maybe your environment has more dust or something. But as long as it works for you, it is great.

[@fredgarvin4482]

i removed the bolt but wheel seems stuck on still and will not slide off

[@fredgarvin4482]

same with front wheels

[@yzhang8629]

Try degreaser and hot water to clean the area, then use penetrating fluid to soak the area.

Same issue, my right rear is stuck on...soaked in pb blaster and still stuck after banging with a hammer.

[@flyingmonkeyknat]

Lithium spray or teflon spray from CRC will last longer.

[@yzhang8629]

I haven't tried them, or done enough research on this statement, but it could be a good point.
With my current understanding, these gears are working in a dusty environment, so a dry-lube could be a better choice.

@@yzhang8629 honda shop manual says use Honda Marine extreme
pressure NLGI #2 GC-LB grease or equivalent and not to use spray lubricant of any kind

[@yzhang8629]

@@jts3793 Thank you for sharing this information, it is extremely helpful.
I guess spray lube can do the same thing as the specified lube, if I can clean and spray the gears every few yards, but the amount of labor is preventing if from being a recommended choice

[@travisharsha]

@@jts3793I use Lucas Red “N” Tacky Grease

Speaking instructions does a lot more

[@mikeh.8155]

Agree 100%

Hate when people don't talk and explain what they are doing.

[@yzhang8629]

It is my negligence that I didn’t put titles for each step in this video, and I have not developed a good enough skill to talk brief and precise while making the video. Please refer to the video description for the timeline
