Overhaul/Repair Bendix 70 Coaster Brake Hub
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ค. 2014
- I got a cruiser bike with a coaster brake hub that didn't work. The bike was free, and I thought I could fix it. In this video, I take the hub apart, clean it, lubricate it, replace the bearings and put it bake together again. Now it works great. The hub is a Bendix 70. The bike is a Ross Central Park.

I have a 1968 schwinn panther with the bendix coaster break and what I'm dealing with is when. I peddle the rear hub makes a burp burp grinding noise. What could be causing that
It's 2022 and you still have one of the best videos about bike maintenance 💞
Why would anybody make more videos like this? Rj already did it a decade ago!!
I love seeing someone working on bikes.. i been working on bike since i was 4 years old.
Now im 60..and still doing it..thank you for making this video.. i love bicycle s.. i all ways will till the day god calls me home..
I know this is an old video, but I've got to say thanks RJ. This is what I needed to see. Being retired I needed another hobby, and buying old bikes, servicing them, and giving them to kids in the neighborhood was what I chose. I've learned to service the crank, front spindle, and headset already. The rear hub I saved to last as I figured it would be a bit more technical. But, this video made it look easy. Also, the first thing I learned was "Grease is good" after doing my first crank. :)
FINALLY a lucid vid on the topic. Thank you. This helped IMMENSELY!!!
Greetings fellow coasterbrake enthusiasts. I am the chairman of the British Coasterbrake Bicycle Club. One handy tip, if you can get hold of any Anti Scuffing Paste mix a small amount of this in with a heavy duty, high temp extreme pressure grease. I recommend 90% Lucas Xtra Heavy Duty grease and 10% Anti Scuffing Paste. Rocol is the main brand in Blighty. This paste is for lubricating press dies and preventing galling when pressing roller bearing crankshafts together. It is good stuff, it's also pricey stuff. If you have a roller clutch coaster brake a light smear on the roller track is enough and use oil in this area or the rollers will slip. Lucas Red N Tacky grease is ideal for bearings and use the paste/grease mix on braking surfaces, ramps, dragsprings and worm threads. Axle threads need a bit of copperslip grease as that left hand cone can get hot after a good, long downhill and when ridden in the rain, something we have a lot of here, is all too happy to seize onto the axle threads. Happy coasting and remember sometimes the way forward is to pedal backwards.
Thanks for the thorough overhaul tutorial! I think I can go ahead and do this to my old beat up cruiser.
Brought back a lot of memories from my bicycle days….thank you!
This video helped re-assembly of my '67 Coast King, Bendix hub. Works fine and thanks for posting!
I just got into messing with my own bikes and really enjoy your videos. Great explanations and detail. Thanks and keep it up!
Thanks, my neighbor bought a used bike that had the same problem. I followed your video and took the hub apart and cleaned and greased it and now it's working perfectly.
I found this to be very informative for the bicycle project that I am currently working on. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much for the great video. I'm piecing a bike together for my 3 yr old from a few that I found at the curb - basically working but were neglected.
Just watched the Bendix RB-2 and 70 videos. Fine videos! Got to thinking most kids now will never get to figure these out and get greasy doing it. I was driven as a child to figure these kinda things out. Get them properly grease and the perfect bearing pre-load for maximum speed! Simple designs but very consistent and the longevity!
thanks for the video...i just refurbished a 1972 schwinn breeze from my great aunt for my daughter to take to college...your video saved me money on rebuilding the Bendix 70!! cheers
Thank you so very much. This video was honestly the most help I’ve ever had with bike maintenance.
Thank you again RJ you have a winner overhaul! I was curious on how you fix a coaster hub and you show me how to fix and overhaul with your vedeo! Again thank you!Victor V from New Jersey
Being a good mechanic myself, this is my sort of video. Fascinating how stuff works.
Great video! Learned a lot today and tomorrow will work on my bike. Thank you for taking the time to post this video.
Thanks for this super helpful video! I have rebuilt two Bendix coaster hubs with your help.
Someone a distance from me is asking if I can explain how to do a coaster brake so I've been watching for the best video on youtube to send them. This guy is messy and very awkward like a back yard mechanic, but he gets the job done. This video is 7 years old I'm sure he's gotten better. Anyone looking to learn how to service a coaster brake, even if you have a different brand, this video is still worth watching.
Thanks for this thorough video, this really helped me with my overhaul.
RJ, i just got in a 1975 Schwinn Fair Lady stingray with this exact issue. the hub inside was full of ancient grease that dried up into a hard tar. cleaned up, all the Bendix parts were ok ...works perfectly again....your video saved this bike!
awesome video. I ripped apart my old sears cruiser and scrambled the parts. I was able to reassemble without a hitch after watching your video.
this was awesome. I am taking apart a huffy's hub. I am learning about how to maintain bikes and this did help a lot
Hi I'm also taking apart a 1980 Huffy Pro Thunder rear coaster brake hub and this is very similar and very helpful. Keep up the great videos. Thanks!
And thank you for taking the time making this video and uploading.
The master shows us the way again! I really must tackle this Velosteel one I've got that feels a little dry. I reckon all the grease inside has turned to tar. My old Shimano CB - E110 had thoroughly baked it's grease after 8 years. One overhaul later and its slicker than new. I'll not leave it so long next time. Excellent job with the video as always!
Did you do it yet?
Thanks for the informative video. I was able to get my rear hub back together without a problem.
Beautiful work
Excellent! I have a Bendix 70 on a Schwinn hollywood that I need to grease up. This helps so much.
..... parabéns....!!! Ótimo trabalho... Assim como vc, eu também gosto de dar vida a essas bicicletas antigas......🇧🇷
thank u RJ! im tearing mine down now
Awesome video!! Thx a bunch 🙌🏼💯✅🤙🏻 Happy riding
Man you help me out big time right now.
Thank you a lot for the very interesting step by step instructions and not a boring conversation of instructions.
👍🏽👍🏽 7/20/20
This was fantastic! Thank you for the informative content!
rj thank u for this video, mine doesnt need to be overhauled yet but my sprocket did come loose and i was trying to figure what happened and it looks like that lock ring popped off. now i can fix it!
Great video of the coaster brake operation
Very informative video Bike Guy, I'm sure it will help many, many people, thanks for sharing.
Best coaster brake video on TH-cam, hands down. Overhauling never seemed so possible! And your grip strength must be God Mode.
Grip strength? Not really.
Great video, keep it up, instructional and educational. 👍👍👍👍👍
Great videos man!!! very detailed, very helpful
I might be ready, lol.... I have been working on bicycles since I was 13, but I've been afraid to overhaul a rear hub, for all of these 50 years... thanks for the systematic explanation.
It looks like the hub that I'm looking to overhaul is a "New Departure". (1949 BF Goodrich 26" Bicycle)
Another very informative video. Thank You.
Great video! This was very helpful.
Hi, I've learned a ton watching your videos! I have a suggestion for setting the bearing preload on solid axles. I use a vice grip or a locked out nut on the bottom side while I tighten the cone nuts on the top, that way when you are tightening the top locknut the whole axle doesn't rotate. ;)
Yeah, I know that trick, but I guess I am lazy. LOL
@@RJTheBikeGuy I would NEVER call you lazy dude!!!
Hello RJ, hope you have a nice Sunday! This video again was very helpful for my next projects: bought 6 old bikes on eBay and I will give them a second life for students living close to us, so that they are mobile and can get easier to the university. Take care and stay healthy 👍💪🌞🍀🚲
Thanks to this video I was able to fix my 76 bendix that is on a 78-79 Huffy with aluminum 5 spoke rims
wow missed this one thanxs RJ !!
I’ve started fitting my BMX hubs with zerk fittings for easy greasing. Bearings last a lot longer, and it pushes dirt and moisture out.
Great work!
Thanks
I was working on this and doing poorly. Watched video and fixed it within 45 minutes.
Great work, thanks
this is great thank you my old cruiser has 4 brake pads not 2 other then that all went well
You may have just saved me from being ripped off $100 from the bike store. I am in the same position as you
with a shabby bmx for free but I have the same running gear issues. A big thankyou to you
I definitely needed to see how you overhaul a coaster brake hub cause the cruiser bike I bought from someone used the turned in into a motorized bike with an 80cc/66cc bicycle motor kit and apparently rode it pretty hard and I have to overhaul the hub and decide weather I want to take off the entire motor kit clean it up and make it an ordinary beach cruiser bike again and possibly resell it once I get a different bike or clean it up rebuild the motor or get a new motor but upgrade the bike with a front brake
Thank you, detail is key,, thank
TheJwdude I don't understand what you are asking? No tight kick?
This video is not slow it is the perfect pace.
Great video i finished the assembly about 30 seconds after he did.
Free bike.. Total cost bearing $12-15 and a $30 cone wrench. New wheel and coaster brake.. $40-50. I love how that coaster brake comes apart. Way more complicated then one would think. Nice overhaul!
Nice fix sir 😁👍👍👍
I just did one very good 😊
Super, thank you, you saved my day :-)
thanks! just what i needed to see.
Heel veel goed bedankt
Thanks man.
This is good recycling!
Thanks very helpful
The wear on the underside of the bearing race surface is indicative of too much end play ,probably from the same issue that made the stiffness of the spreader threads able to override the friction drag placed on the drag surface.Drag from the spring steel band should have let it thread in to brake and out to propel. HARD GREASE STAYS OUT WHERE IT DOES AS MUCH DAMAGE AS NO GREASE ON BRNGS. Very good video. I'm old, I like coaster brakes . Almost always fixable,usually no money!
RJ, you continually amaze me. If you're ever in Hawaii, on Oahu, please ook me up. We'll tip a few on me. Aloha
Man those cruiser rims look more complex than the free wheel ones but you're giving me the courage to take on one. Great video's brother God Bless
They are not too complicated: th-cam.com/video/L2f0e28Dito/w-d-xo.html
RJ I have a quest ioN i'm prett ysure is a big negative.
Is there a way to ahve a coaster brake and a traditional freewheel?
I know of those coaster braike/kick shift hubs but I'm talking a more traditional.
Basically my rear wheel taco'd, a direct replacement can be bought but i'm looking to see what other options exist since the bike is a sort of 'hey i got it to tinker with' thing.
Is it possible to add spacers to the sprocket on a coaster brake hub for chainline adjustment?
When you took it apart, I got the Idear that one or two parts had been put in back-wards, And when you reassembled, You did it correctly.
No, I think it was correct to begin with. Just all gunked up.
I found the Bendix video obviously. It's good to know how those things actually worked after all these years.😉
count how many times he says "Here." 🙂 Great video!
One question. I Just took apart and serviced a coaster brake single speed hub. It takes half a turn before the wheel engages? What did I do wrong?
Helps if you face the crescent wrenching proper direction as well. For torque purposes. Higher risk stripping your nuts when operating the cresent in the wrong direction as well
Here is a video that helped me fixed my bike here at my house here in Pa... So here is a thank you that u can hear with ears.... Here here here here
Very helpful
good job
Holy crap how did you get that locknut holding the brake arm with your hand 😂 I ways need a hammer
What is holding the clutch piece to slide on the that screwed part .please give me reply.
can you make a video showing how to remove a bendix or suntour coaster brake. converting it to a freewheel.
What happens if you don't use a lot of grease? Dont you want it to spin nice and smooth? I have a royal enfield frame, I found the same 26inch wheels, I'm going to make a custom
moped lol
i was riding my dads bike with a coaster brake and it started to make grinding noises when the brakes were applied. soon after this the hub started to have slipping problems both when pedaling and braking. after this the hub shell literally broke and spokes fell out. ever seen anything like this happen before? i've had problems with hubs in the past but never a catastrophic failure like this!
Always wanted to understand the coaster brake. Thanks.

@@RJTheBikeGuy thanks
I have just done this. I got it all to fit back after three tries. But now it doesnt turn as smoothly as it did. I can feel it kind of jerk sometimes when I spin it. It feels like a few ball bearings dont roll smootly. But this wasnt so before I disassembled it. Is it just a lack of grease? Im pretty sure I resassembled it right after the third try.
15:05 "squirt some grease in between the balls" made me smile :D but anyhows, informative and nice video! Now being responsible for one bikeshop, has been very nice experience. You see all kinds of coaster hubs and other stuff everyday.
Yeah, I laughed at that while editing the video.
i followed your video, all went well, i,m trying to get my bendix 70 coaster to work. my problem is it only brakes when i roll the bike in reverse. pedals forward fine, free wheels fine but no brake when i back pedal. got any ideas?
Not sure what went wrong. th-cam.com/video/L2f0e28Dito/w-d-xo.html
What do u do when u have a different type freestyle sprocket that has only thread
hey RJ i've watched this video maybe 5 times first time bike mechanic here and had a problem with a clicking noise in the hub, learned the inner basic mechanics of the inside, troubleshooted that the brake pads were obviously causing some friction, disasembled regerased still the clicking, and what it was was the Spring, the spring had been compacted during factory assembly i guess,
so i opened it up and expanded the spring so the pads could fully disengage with the Driver, maybe this might help someone in the future, the spring wasn't disengaging from being too tight from the factory, i expanded with a pliers, packed with high temp grease and it's not clicking anymore.. yet thanks
The coaster brake on our bike hub for some reason is engaging when you pedal forward. A half turn on the wheel when you pedal and it is locked. Yet, if you spin the wheel it will move freely. This started all of a sudden.
At first the wheel seemed a little hard to pedal, but after about a 10 minute bike ride it now will not pedal forward because the brake is engaged apparently. Any ideas? Thanks and very well done video.
Phil
Do you know how too fix a coaster Break hub that has no tight kick too it
Can you use white lithium grease on the hub and shoe area, or does it have to be high-temp grease?? Fixing my wife's 50 year old Schwinn cruiser bike.
You want high temp grease as those can get hot.
I have the same Bendix 70 and can't get to unscrew, must of sat too long. Have to figure out how to hold the clutch better somehow.
ok very good
Local bike shop wanted $15 to lube the rear hub saved money thanks
I have a newer style beach cruiser and I have a long travel in the pedal before it actually brakes.. and I dont get a skid when I stomp on the brakes like I should.. will a hub overhaul help
Maybe.
Safe answer.. but I appreciate the response.. I will give it a try as soon as I get some free time.. otherwise I'll just buy some new wider wheels..
Crates if Pepsi and mountain dew is obviously powering RJ 😀
Again nice work.
