Astro great video, thanks for being quick and concise. Don I think your being to critical, I've changed dozens of bearings this way and have never had any problems, not everyone has a press.
Careful when you torque your nut at the same original position. If the new bearing is slightly longer by a few mils you will over torque to reach the same position. Otherwise good vid, thanks for sharing
Did he just hit the axle thread with a hammer without a nut to protect the thread? Tut , tut! I would also use a press rather than hit the bearings out. Also one good hit rather than many little ones does less damage. Many methods he uses were big no , nos in my training as a mechanic.
Most the time I put the nut back on and hit that but like I said, sometimes the engineers make it easy on us by providing a cut with no threads on the edge
lol bro im reading all these haters trying to pick apart your methods. hell you do better work than the largeeee majority. spending time cleaning and greasing. tutut
i agree greg im about to do this same on my grizzly 700, dude does a pretty slick job! you can't pay a man to give a shit, if you do your own work then you know it's done right, and if it is wrong you can't blame anyone but yourself.
Any bearing puller will work. I used one from this kit but you can buy just a puller for $15. www.amazon.com/GearWrench-41690-Front-End-Service/dp/B000TDCCHW/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1509639020&sr=1-1-fkmr1&keywords=gearwrench+3916d+universal+ball+joint+separator
These are sealed bearings but you still can pack them with a tool made by machined integrations. Very cool actually! After doing some research on my end, you really want to add more grease to the bearing out of the box.
Just watch this video, thank you very much! I have a 2007 Yamaha Big Bear and it's identical. Great job!
You can put bearings in the freezer . Falls right in. Use old bearing to tap in if you have to.
One trick I have learned is to put the bearing in a freezer for about half an hour before the install. Slides right in.

i just watched your video and it was very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make the video.

Great video. Watched this before I attempted to change both on my axles. Worked like a charm. Thanks.

Sure did. The axle has first 1/16" turned down so that you can not damage the threads.
ah .. I see. I would still certainly try to deploy some sort of protection though.
The multiple small hits with hammer were still
a no no.

I'm over trained.
more like over gay
what brand puller is that it looks nice?

Thanks! Great, informative video!!!
enjoyed your video
Im guessing a 06 kodiak knuckle and hub shouldnt slide off the axle itself whats that supposed to mean 😂
Really good video. Thanks
Thanks for your video
I just changed my back bearing but still lots of play..... What else can it be?
J Lord the bushings that he just greased
What was the silver tool you used to get that plate off ?

03 Grizzly 660 Is different.
You forgot to pack the barring with grease don't be shy
bearings are sealed packed with grease

Heating metal up for expansion= is ah physics ya'h..🤦
All Balls suck, wouldn’t put it in my enemies ride.
At that time it was the best option. Everything else was no name Chinese stuff
