I have your book but it is great to observe the procedure to complete the understanding. I also enjoyed your recently posted engine teardown. Again, many thanks!
Very cool video guys!! I’m actually going to a wheel rebuilding clinic this month hosted by a bunch of old school BMW guys, they are going to help me replace the bearings in the 1967 /2 my dad left me.
Barrington Motor Works The wheel clinic went well! The bearings were in great shape and just needed to be cleaned and repacked. On one of the bearing stacks the outer spacer was too loose, so he had me go over a glass plate in figure 8 patters to take a little off of the wedding band, which tightened up that outer spacer. Still a little confused on how that worked but it came out good. He used an old Ural axle to remove the bearing stack. Do you sell a tool for that procedure?
@@windycityben4850 that's great to hear about your wheel bearing clinic! so by making the the wedding band thinner it allowed the bearing pack components to squeeze more closely together making the outer sleeve feel tighter. are you looking for a tool to remove the pack from the wheel or an axle to fit into a vise?
Barrington Motor Works Yes a tool to remove the bearing pack from the wheel. Just wondering if you guys make anything, I’d like to support you if possible.
@@windycityben4850 At the moment we do not offer any specialized tools for that job. Though if you email us at info@barringtonmotorworks.com we can share some photos of what we use and explain how it's made.
Nice job. I noticed in My addition of the Barrington manual it was missing the small detail of torquing the bearing to 35 ft lbs. No Big deal, but glad you mentioned that here. Lve this stuff keep it coming.
Great video. Nicely paced, shot, etc. I work mostly on /5 and above Airheads, but this process seems(?) to be universal. When you guys open "How to be an old BMW Moto builder school", let me know. I'd be the first to sign-up :) Thanks again!!
Thanks Pat! You're right that the process is similar for /5 wheels and on, but like all the models...things get a little different. The hubs on the /2 are steel in the center unlike the /5 which is aluminum. So you'll usually see more wear on an incorrectly shimmed /5 bearing seat. We'll keep you posted on our progress with the school 😉
@@BarringtonMotorWorks Ah, interesting. Steal then aluminum. Thanks for the quick response...says a lot. And see, Windy City Ben is up for School. That's 2 :)
Thanks for posting these videos, they are Super helpful for a regular guy keeping his old bike on the road!
We're so glad you like them! Let us know if there are any other topics you'd like to see us cover.

That's awesome! Hopefully this helps you get your head wrapped around the job a bit. Good luck with it. Let us know how it goes!

How do you determine the size of the "wedding band" to order?
