This was tremendously helpful, as I am about to embark on this very procedure on my old Harley FX. I found this video in the Nick of time. Thank you for posting, and doing such a fine job of it! Well done.
Thanks for your kind words Michael...Glad it helped!
Many many thanks for the great video Del and Pen. This was a special one for sure. I can’t imagine this was an easy one to film or edit. It came out great so thank you for your hard work and dedication. The only bearings I was familiar with until now was the ones I changed on my old skateboard circa 1985 lol.
Now I know much more.....thank you.
Dai, I just knew you were a skater boy lol - Seriously, thanks mate, it was a great fun video to make, and was really glad to get the bearing set replaced and move past that milestone in the build...
12degrees all this week so far, and raining every day (so washing all the salt away!), maybe get out for a ride on Sunday - how about you?? Love to you all, catch ya very soon, D&Px
Moonfleet41 won’t be able to ride this weekend unfortunately as we’re planning to make another TH-cam video, “how to shuck a giant oyster”.
Although I’d much rather be riding my RSV4, that’s for sure. All good here mate, hope you and Penny are well and enjoy your Sunday ride!!! Give a massive bear hug to the Penstar from us x
I came here to learn this for my Honda Rancher ATV this is a very highly professional video and thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience and explaining things along the way I really appreciate this video
Most welcome, glad it was helpful, and thank you for your kind words.
If I d to choose between 46 works videos and delboy s videos..
..I d definitely choose delboy 's..
.. because in his videos you can hear loud the heart beat of an effort..
..and this kind of sound ..send Us to the moon..
Wow, thank you so much Sir, I watch 46 Works myself, he is a genius and I wish I was half as good as him, it's people like him to inspire my projects, so thank you so much for the comparison.
Del, until I watched this video I was pretty sure that swing arm bearing replacement was a job for a shop or an advanced and highly experienced home mechanic. You have shown all the steps in a clearly and thoroughly and have explained the process eloquently - you truly have a talent for this. Mustn't forget Penny - her camera work is awesome!
Hi John, Thank you so much for your very kind words, and im really glad the video could help you out... always feel free to drop us a line if you get stuck, and maybe we could help... Oh and yes, Penny makes me look good, thats for sure..lol.. Take care and have a great week.. D&Px
Super great video. Super Well explained as always n great camera work. Spot on in wat u say. Learnt so much from u in this and many of your other videos too. Thanks Del & Penny. 👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗😘
Excellent video. Always come back to watch this video when I am about replace bearings.
Awesome idea for the reinstall!! FYI your vid on replacing fork seal was a big help!!! keep up the good work
Thanks again for the informative vid , with out kissing arse you really do come across in an easy to follow and understandable manner . local Harley dealer wanted over 1k to change swing arm bushes/bearings on my bike .Thanks to your vids/chan i feel more confident in tackling the jobs myself .Just got to teach the wife now that its important to have a cuppa on the hr while working on my bike !!!!! if you could make that vid you will be a very rich man , Ride Safe
Hey buddy, good call on the tea...! There are a couple of options, one is a intercom to the kitchen, but the responses are often mixed lol - the other is a kettle in the garage, but I'd never get on with anything ! Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching mate...
Thanks Del . i did fit a door bell to the kitchen so when i fancied a cuppa i would just Ding dong , worked well once but have to conceed ,the dentistry work which then ensued cost way to much !
Nicely done, Del. Well explained, plenty of detail with zero blabber, great camera work, and great instruction. Thanks for putting the effort into this one and keep them coming.
Thank you Tom, i really appreciate your feedback.
@@Moonfleet41 Check out one of my videos when you get a chance. I use the same approach.
@@tomscyclerecycling8242 You do indeed Tom, Great content Sir.. love those old Honda's too.
Huge respect on that one Del , both the job and Penny’s camera work faultless .👍🏻 . don’t imagine for a minute that I am ever going to do that myself but a great insight as to what can be done at home given the right amount space tools and knowledge.
Ayup Charlie, thank you mate, I think you're right, we can do more at home than we often realise... glad you enjoyed it, thank you for your support !
You two are just the best! Can't tell you how much I appreciate the efforts you go to and how much help and inspiration it is to us. You have shown time and again how scary work can be done safely and easily, and usually not that scary after all.
Del, you are a home garage God! And I worship at your feet, but Pen, you are just as legendary working that camera. Thanks and BIG respect to both of you.
Hi buddy, my word, thank you so much for your kind comments, it's very generous of you, we love what we do and it's a great way to share time together and do something constructive, take care and keep in touch, all the very best, D&Px
Excellent, learned loads from that mate. Much appreciated, and superbly explained as ever. Hope the ‘pinch injury’ doesn’t knack too much!
Hi Del, watching you knocking videos out at 05:30 in the morning makes me realise that the day job must really be getting in the way of all the fun. Keep up the good work mate!
Damn right mate, off to work shortly for an 0650 start, and finish today at 1800... but it pays the bills mate, you know how it is.!! Thanks for your support matey.. its much appreciated.. Del.
Another brilliant vid, thanks Del and Pen. Informative, practical and just fun being in your company. Have learnt so much from your vids over the years and done a bunch of work on my 2004 Sporty thanks to your advice. I've saved a fortune, feel more connected to my machine and starting to feel like I know half of what I'm doing. Thanks again ever so much and best wishes to you both.
Thank you for your very kind words Matt, we're glad to know that the videos have helped you, and like you say, the feeling of connection and better understanding of your bike enhances the ownership of it... wishing you a very Happy 2021, keep safe and well there, all the very best from us both!
Another great video, thank you. Everything clearly explained including the risks.
Heeeee that looked more difficult than you thought it'd be :)) stuck in there good and proper. Good job showing what happened, looking forward to the paint!
Yeah, they were a bit jammed in there.. the main issue with the left side is that you're slide hammering TWO bearings out at the same time.. and not slim ones like the wheel bearing type.. but those needle rollers are almost twice the width.. so the friction area was at least three times that of a regular bearing... still came out though aye.. muah ha ha.. that bearing puller is a beast... lol!
Another 1 for the playlist these videos are great and help a lot
Hi Del & Penny, a great video that will help people for a lot of years to come. Job well done, Cheers
Thanks buddy, we're hoping so, one for the saved box aye?
Just the fact you save us from pinching our palms on the hammer slide is worth watching you. Seriously, appreciate the guidance on the use of your bearing puller.
Most welcome Ralph... you'll only trap your flesh under the hammer weight once...lol!
I am new to motorcycle repair and your video has saved my swing arm as I would have used a drift and hammered it out... really like the time you took and love your bearing press. Thank you.
Most welcome Keith. Glad it helped you mate !
Excellent & informative vid as we've grown to expect! Wonderful close up photography of the inner seatings of the bearings by Penny pitstop which will inspire the nation to brave this operation for themselves. Yours Ian
Hi Ian, thank you my friend, that's what we're hoping for.. the target for this video was for it to become a long term reference point for people to use for years to come... your support is much appreciated!
Thank god. You're the first person I watched do it with out a specialty tool. This is my first bearing change, and I was really nervous to do it. After this, I feel a little more confident.
Glad I could help you out mate, have fun with yours and good luck.. Del.
Another well informed vid, thanks Mr & Mrs.
Have to admit that watching your channel has given me confidence for tinkering with my lil' beastie and I really like the simplified explanations too, so thanks again :)
Most welcome Eddie, thanks for watching mate.. take care.. Del.
Perfect timing I'm doing the swingarm bearings on my Kawasaki Vulcan 2000,it has the same setup.i appreciate your hard work to help people save money teaching them to do it thermals.well done!
Cheers buddy, that's the aim, you'll need the bearing puller set, but you'll use it again I guarantee it... on special offer at the moment too, £120 off... link under the video if you need it mate, good luck with the Vulcan!
Great vid Del, thoroughly enjoyed that - if I'd had a crack at that the outcome would have been disaster, fire brigade involved the lot I imagine...great watching the master at work, and even though I wouldn't dare attempt it myself, I still picked up lots of great tips...nice one guys!
Ah now, hide not thy light under a bushel my friend, of course you could do it... it's a simple enough process, and you're a clever guy... it's just seeing it done and following the steps, nothing complex about it... take it easy mate, chat soon, Del
I have actually pinched my hand once yanking the hammer, hurts like hell.
Another great video Del.
I feel your pain my friend, I got careless with that a few times, it does leave a nasty blood bruise that's painful for days...!
Thanks for the diy press idea! Worked great!
You hit the nail on the head with not everyone can afford to have some of that work done. Another great video. Keep up the good work. As much as I like the project builds, videos like this is why I subscribed
Thanks mate, much appreciated!
A lot of them come from factory poorly greased with the ZX7R swingarms. Great video as always Del, you've saved me hours.
Thanks for the feedback mate, Glad to help
Excellent video Del, very clearly explained. Not seen that bearing arrangement before mate!
Me neither Jonboy, I've seen a roller with a sealed bearing outside of it, but not seen two rollers side by side till now... got your email mate, will send a proper reply later, just working our way through the comments here first !
Great video buddy, a nice half hour sesh in the garage while I’m having my tea, really useful that, hi to Pen too xx, cheers Stu
Thanks Stu, much appreciated buddy, and Pen sends her love to you and the family - catch ya soon!
Now that's a Delboys Garage video nice one guys.
Good idea using threaded rod to reinstall. Thanks Bro!
Super video and super tips! I have to fix this on my own ZXR.
Hello Del ,pretty much repeating the last post but hey ho !! got a cheap 98 r1 with a few probs the owner couldn't afford fixed at the dealer. (steering head bearings , fork seals , swing arm bearings) thanks to your vids i felt confident enough to tackle them at the minimal cost of parts. Now got a classic red and white r1 and I wanted to let you know that you talked me through it all , and ive got a bike I other wise wouldn't be able to afford to buy or maintain. keep up the great vids thanks for sharing your knowledge, Jason
Hi Jason, Good to hear from you mate, im really glad the videos can help you get your R1 back in shape, thats a great bike to have as they are getting rare now, and there's nothing on the road like them now.. they truly were a trail blazer when they were introduced... Good luck with it, and enjoy the journey mate.. All the best... Del.
Big thanks to you Del, with these videos you gave me the confidence and knowledge to replace my swingarm bearings on my FZ1 S (10)
Great to hear Jack, glad the video helped you!
Another great video completely demystifying a process that I would otherwise not have attempted. Cheers!
Thank mate, you're very kind, stick it in the saved box, maybe you'll need it one day!
Great job Del, another job I can do for myself. Keep up the good work.
Cheers David, good to hear from you !
I personally put this among one of your top videos Dell, where some jobs were a bit taboo to tackle for an amateur, thank you both for showing a well explained and clear video.......
Thank you my friend, that is very kind... We are hoping that this will become a long term reference video like a few of the others like the chain riveter video, the fork seals video and many more that are still being used for inspiration years after we posted them.. Thanks again and take care.. del.
fantastic as always del & co. thanks heaps.
Another great video, thank you Delroy and Penny! luv ya's
Thanks buddy, you're very welcome !
Thanks Dell. Really appreciate these videos and the time you take explaining everything. The only thing I ignored to my peril was having my hand too close to the slide hammer base, you can imagine what the end result was, a lot of swearing and a blood blister. lol. Brilliant mate, I really appreciate these.
haha ask me how I know that is funny mate, except when you do it! You have my sympathy brother ;-0
Excellent. Great video. Thanks for share.
Superb video. You rock, man!
Great to see you doing a bit more serious mechanical job now and again.
Kick ass video D&P!! I’ve always been hesitant to do bearing work, mainly because I don’t know how to work a bearing puller. Great skill video. Thank you guys.
Hi mate, hope this video simplified it for you, the slide hammer part of the bearing puller set is as easy as that shown in the video, and when I do the wheel bearings on the bike shortly, am gonna cover how to use the bridge puller, which is also in the set....
Awesome, can’t wait. Changing the wheel bearings is something I’ve not done on the CB750 but I should have done a while back. A see a bearing pulling set in my future 🤔😁
Thanks D and P.
Great video Guys, very well explained and Edited 😃👍
Thanks Paul, you're very kind, we had a great time doing this one and hoping it will help people out for many years!
Never thought I'd spend money on a threaded rod until today.. 300mm for £2.90 eBay lovely.
Honestly forever grateful for your advice Del.
Sweet , you can never have enough tools..but when you do get new ones and you use them for the second time you have instant justification elation !!! ☮❤
Thanks Del for showing us the pulle. Will be getting one of them.
Cheers buddy, you won't regret it, it's a silly price for all that kit, should be over £270, so they're running at about £120 at the moment, and you'll definitely use it again... it will make taking wheel bearings out just chiild's play, as the bridge puller mechanism, that I didn't use, means you don't need a single hitting tool whatsoever... and am gonna cover the use of that when I do the wheel bearings once I get the tyres fitted! Link under the video... get stuck in !
great vid as always your videos like this one are the reason I started on doing a bike of my own keep up the good work Del/Penny
Thanks Rickey, glad to hear that, what did you decide to do??
not sure yet still at the strip down part only thing I'm sure of is colour two tones of black and gold .all your vids have gave me a lot to think about now I no how to do more thanks to you and miss penny
I’ve got no need to do this task Del but if I did, I’d be saying a massive thanks to you for explaining it in a manner that’s easy to follow and gives confidence to give it a go... cracking vid pal and Penny’s camera work was not too shabby either 😉🤟🏻🤟🏻
Thanks mate, those are very kind words, and am very lucky indeed, our Penny does make me look good, even when I'm trapping my hand in a puller lol ...
Another fine job you got me into Delboy !
Ha ha, cheers Alwyn..
I stripped my Zx 750 3 years sgo and forgot how to assemble the arm great vid thanks for the info
Lovely... Very good one...
nicely done. all the best.
Hi Del/Penny grate video and good camera work from penny as always
Thanks Stephen, much appreciate your kind words, I just try to capture all the important bits! PPx
awesome video I am definitely investing in a bearing puller kit.Good Morning and God Bless.. Love To Both and Ride Safe.
Good plan Paul, it will save you more money than it will ever cost, and they're on special offer at Wemoto at over £120 off!
Thank you good sir! Saved me from alot of cussing and acting like a caveman..Had a bearing puller for another project and forgot about it until this video. I didn't ruin 1 bearing 🤞🏽
Hi great vids like how your straight to the point an clear you are
Hey Del. This was a good simple skills video. I myself use BelRay Marine grease on everything I use since it’s marine grade waterproof grease. I mean if it’s graded for watercraft vehicles then it sure as hell will work on motorcycles in spades. Luckily my project bike wasn’t as involved on the swing arm. It just had the inner tube but with only two outer swing arm nylon bushings. Those old ones were hell trying to chisel out because they had hardened up so bad.
Also, for Valentine’s Day, I decided to trade in my Triumph so my wife could have a proper working car again. It hurt, it like I told her and everyone else, “Men do what’s required when their significant other and/or kids have needs that need to be met.”. It hurt but since I have that project bike once it gets built I’ll have a bike again. So there is a bright side. Cheers!
Hi buddy, you're dead right about the sacrifice, the bike is always the first casualty when the family needs our rescue... good luck with your project, what a great motivator to get it on the road! All the best, D&Px
This was very informative I can’t Thankyou enough for making this video !!
You are so welcome, glad it could help you.
Delboy's Garage help me!!! You saved me !! Hell I already ordered all the parts for the job with this video I can’t mess up !!! I’m restoring a ZX600E 1993 from tires up to the ignition key I’m going to the hardware store this weekend to make your little threaded rod tool.
Great vidio. Many thanks Dell Boy.
Great vid, great hydraulic press idea.
Great resource! Thanks for sharing
My pleasure!
Awesome tutorial!
10/10 fantastic del👏
Wow.. fantastic guide and fix..
Thanks Edd!
Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated.
Thanks Del, nice video.
I still have the bruise on my hand from my home made fork seal tool! There's blood and oil in my bike.
Too right buddy, they're not truly yours till you've spilt blood over them - see you next month !
Top video that. Cheers mate.
Always helps thanks delboy
Top job Del & Pen,😎👍
Thanks Geoff !
Great vid Del :) When I needed a bearing press I had thought of using threaded bar (which I can get for free from work) but just didn't have any in my garage at that time. I was lucky enough to have a scissor jack that I didn't need so used an angle grinder to chop all the metal off leaving me with just the threaded bar section with a handle on one end and a big square threaded nut on the other. It was also a bit of luck that the jack I had has it's handle permanently attached rather than the ones with an awkward detachable one. So, a couple of washers and spacers (sockets) later and I have a very easy to use one handed bearing press :) I've used it many times on motorbikes and for mountain bike head bearings, and it coped easily with rear wheel bearings on my Focus which I think have a 78mm(?) diameter so they're a fair old bearing to press home. Keep up the good work Del. Iechyd Da, from the land of song :)
Thanks Mogs, great to see you got over it, I love that bit of ingenuity with the trollyjack, that's my kinda thinking! Thanks for watching buddy... much appreciated!
one word OUTSTANDING cheers del atb iain
Thanks Iain, stick it in your saved box mate, you never know when you might need it ! Thanks for your kind support...
Mate I ain't Eva gonna do that but man I enjoy your vids so entertaining and subscribed great stuff
Thanks John, welcome aboard, much appreciated!
Very informative 👌 time to watch more and subscribe
Thanks and welcome
Another great video,,,,you really must get your vice bolted down lol
thank you sir!! well done
Grate video nice tool I will get one when I need one Thanks
Good plan mate, checkout tomorrows video, ill be using it again for all 5 wheel bearings.. its paid for itself already..lol
Great job.
[p] Nice job Del .Well explained . Dam hurts when you pinch your hand
Done it when putting a brake drum a car years back first and the last
time i made that school boy error ouch.
Sure thing mate, you do it once and then you forget you've not done it for so long, that fate makes you do it again just to remind you lol !
To right Del . Painful lesson. Remember setting the valves on a GT6 dam spanner slipped got
my finger on the side of the head claret all over the show .
Now that would be a great tool give away.
great vid! thanks
Another great tutorial... :-)
Glad you liked it!
Great video! I’d like to suggest one of the cheap usb snake cameras to facilitate showing the inside of the assembly and maybe inside cylinder bores
Great video, inspiring me to get a project bike (aka money pit).
Thank David, go for it mate..!
Great video! About to do my 05 zx10r
Good luck with it mate.
Good Show Chap!!!!!!!!!
Great video, my ZZR600 D has the same setup.
Nice one, must be a Kawasaki thing, you ain't ever gonna get any play in that thing aye!
Looks that way :). Can't wait to get it back on the road after a total rebuild.
Great video as always! Have you ever used a bearing drive kit? It has an assortment of disc sizes that are flat on one side and conical on the other for race installation. They also have a hole in the center for a handle or threaded rod. Probably not teaching you anything you don’t know but thought I would mention it. Thanks for your contributions! Cheers
Hi Eddie, this is an old video now, I currently use one of these and they're available from the link, great item as you say! www.spanner-monkey.co.uk/bearing-race-and-seal-driver-set-10pc-aluminium-120954?search=vs703&description=true
Cracking video Del , I am with Russ tomorrow looking at those circlip pliers with the magic tips ! That looked a hefty circlip wouldn’t like that shooting off normal like pliers will give you a call
Hey Tony, Those ARE the circlip pliers with the magic tips, they grip the circlip really safely, and yeah, it was the kind of clip that'd either bury itself in your forehead, or vanish into another dimension..lol.. Chat soon mate..
Yes mate I could see they were magic tip and they removed the circlip with ease
Duh, sorry mate, misread your message, thought you meant to suggest them.. thats what comes of reading stacks of comments for hours on end..lol..
We all know Pen is there to assure us viewers the job is done correct and proper. Thanks Pen...lolol
You're so right..!
fantastic video, well informative. If i had my own garage id give this a go, unfortunately, i only have a drive and am open to the elements. Maybe in time with own house, id do this.
Thanks Matthew, as long as you have a safe off road space like a drive way, you can use a gazebo to do those longer jobs that need a bit more time and weather protection.. not expensive and give you an option if you're stuck..!! take care buddy, and have a good weekend.. Del.
@@Moonfleet41 Many thanks. Good idea ref gazebo. Keep up the great vids. Have a good weekend. 👍
Should off watched this first I've done it but del made it look sooooo easy lol
Thanks Bobby, it always looks easier when it's done aye! Thanks for watching....
Great video, thank´s !
Most welcome Ralf.
See now we knew there was a reason you haven't bolted that vice down! I reckon the swing arm bearings and suspension linkage bearings don't get serviced any where near as often as they should. People are intimidated because it looks hard and it takes a while to get it all apart and it's too expensive to pay someone to do it for you, but as you've shown, everyone should be able to do that, even if they don't need to replace the bearings. Nice discount on that too, might have to consider upgrading the smaller set I have. Cheers Del.
Ayup buddy, you know it's worth it, you absolutely couldb't do this job without the right puller, and this is daft money for such a lot of kit... go on, treat yerself, you know you want one! You're right on the bearings, nobody ever takes a swing arm out, but the short link on this has been done, probably cos it's dead easy to drop off with the wheel and swing arm in situ... save me a few bob too! See ya in a couple of weeks mate!
Excellent I think I need to change swing arm bearings on my MK1 bandit 600 and seems quite menacing haha will this tool do the job and will it be useful for wheel bearings on the same bike thanks for your uploads 👍🏻👌🏻
Yes the same Blind Bearing Puller kit will remove not just swing arm bearings but wheel bearings too..!
Thanks for the video - I have a really random question for you please Del. Whats the reach of the collet on the sealey bearing puller kit? I'm trying to get the bearings out of an L0 GSXR 750 swing arm but the puller I bought isnt deep enough to get behind the back of the bearing. When I tighten the tool the collet gets pulled out but the bearing doesnt budge. I also tried a cheaper slide hammer kit but it wouldnt budge either. Bearings are 35mm long using a 28mm diameter collet so they are pretty chunky....
That Sealey blind bearing kit is first rate.
