You've good to be careful not to wind it back too far. It depends on the design of the torque wrench but I ruined one doing this. There was an internal thread that disengaged and then partially crossed when I wound it back up. Over time doing this, it got stiffer and stiffer as the thread progressively weakened until the thread finally gave way. "Zero" doesn't mean zero, it means setting to the lowest calibrated torque on the scale.
I use a very large Rawlbolt to remove bearings, rawlbolt through the bearing to be removed, tighten it up and hit it from behind. No damage and no real expense on tools I wont use very often
That is a good kit for the bearing drivers. Way better and comprehensive than mine! I would call the bit the sprocket bolts to the "sprocket carrier". It can help to put the bearings in the freezer over night before installing them. Makes them shrink a tiny amount so they go in easier. Note, with torque wrenches (at least the clicky type) you should set them to zero when not in use to limit them going out of calibration. Sealey sell some extra long pin punches. They are great for getting wheel bearings out and massively reduce the chances of belting your thumb.
As usual Katy some top tips there, thanks! Ah yes, the sprocket carrier, I knew it had a proper name 🤣. Damn it, I knew I forgot something, the freezer tip! Oh well... I've now set my torque wrenches to zero, didn't know this so thanks for the tip. Yep, I definitely need some longer ones 🤣 Stay safe
@@AshRowland you are getting there! We all have things to learn. I am waiting for the shock on my fz750 to be back from being repaired. Until then the bike is a non rolling chassis! Did most of the work to put the engine back in my Aprilia AF1 Sintesi instead at the weekend.
Im sure your ment to attach the large bar to the adaptor or just push it on to the bearing disc so not to damage the bit you was smacking with the hammer Also what watch are you wearing looks nice but well done on the video
Probably, seemed to work though 🤣 it's a Breitling Transocean, it hardly ever leaves my wrist to be honest, I didn't buy it to stick it in a cupboard 😊
Hi Ash watching with interest just one question are you keeping a tab of the cost for everything you are doing? It would be interesting to see the final tally of cost on the project
Loctite has about 5-10 minute set time. Install all your screws hand tight, pull one out, loctite it, and torque it down then move on to the next. Reason is 2 fold, having all bolts in centres the disc, and removing one by one helps to keep the Loctite "fresh" (as it works anerobically without air) thereby torquing it down whilst still a liquid
Nice video. But remember, just because you might damage something doesn't necessarily mean you have damaged something. Bye the way out of curiosity, what watch do you wear? It looks like a Navitimer
You should be ok with IPA on paintwork. It’s mainly used in the PCB industry for washing flux off after soldering. I mean I wouldn’t wash your bikes with it but I’ve certainly used it to remove chain lube spatter from painted wheels.
A great tip,, I've been using IPA since slightly before I was legally old enough to purchase alcohol & have always found it to be less aggressive than cider. Now I have been informed of these other benefits I shall feel justified in enjoying more in future, of course in the company of my own garage assistant... aka.. "My Better 'arf" who is also a user & hopefully she will also be convinced to indulge a little more once I present my reckoning, supported of course with your informative correspondence. Mr. McEwans has always worked well for me, but other traditionals are of course available & I wonder if it will be of benefit to others if I share my findings with Trust(worthy) Pilots? 🤔
The only other thing I forgot to mention is that the police take a very dim view if you admit to using IPA prior to riding . . Never really understood why
Don't take the criticism personally, it goes hand in hand with a TH-cam channel. while we are on the subject, the spacer (3.30) goes the sprocket side of the wheel hub 👍
Thanks mate, don't worry, I'd turn the comments off if it bothered me 🤣 I'll check the manual, I think there's a different spacer that goes on the outside
@@notamotorbikemechanic the stepped spacer goes between the sprocket carrier and the wheel. There is a plain spacer between the the sprocket carrier and the swinging arm.
Take the advice of the keyboard worriers er.. warriors for the future yes you shouldn’t beat on inner races but you don’t have to rip out those new bearings… if they feel ok run em and check next tire change. You may have damaged them you may not have they are not delicate flowers. The safety police can’t help themselves.
Good man to fixing things and owning up to it once you understood the damage. Shows good character, well done
Thanks mate, no point in doing half a job
Well done Ash, remember to set your torque wrench to zero after you finish with it.
Ah, I'm guessing that preserves the spring rate? Makes sense, doing it now 👍 thanks
And check you set it on Nm, as I was sure it said lb-ft 😮
@@MattCarpenter-dh5ik 🤣 thanks mate, it's got 2 scales on it

Well done Ash. Another nice video. I totally agree with you, if a jobs worth doing, it's worth doing right.
Thanks buddy 👍
Just bought myself a bearing driver set from eBay for bashy bashy time ! I didn't know such a thing existed ! Big thanks 👍😁
You're very welcome 👍

Ah great tip, didn't think of that
Brilliant 🤣 a breath of fresh air 👌
Thank you mate 👍
I had a few GPZ900R back in the 90s, great bikes
Couldn't agree more
You live and you learn Ash🇮🇪

@@katywalker8322 awesome, thanks! I'm away for the weekend but will definitely have a look when I'm back 😀
Hiya Ash. Nice one. It's heart warming when someone listens and corrects mistakes made. P.S. Take it easy on that Hayabusa. Regards, Kev.
Thanks Kev... haven't had a chance to take it out for a while, definitely a dry weather only bike 🤣
Another great video...What is IPA?..thought it was a beer...to clean thread holes etc I use cotton buds....simples
Isopropyl Alcohol, but yes you're right, it also stands for Indian Pale Ale 🍺
Im sure your ment to attach the large bar to the adaptor or just push it on to the bearing disc so not to damage the bit you was smacking with the hammer

Thanks mate... it's a Transocean, I really should take it off when working on the bikes but last time I did that with a nice watch I stood on it 🤣
Back off the wrench after use. Good watching
Thanks mate
Great video Ash, where sid you get your bearing driver kit from. Cheers keep up the spannering🔧 🪛
eBay, £30 😊
@@AshRowland many thanks, I see a set of those in my future👍
Read the workshop manual and you will be leagues ahead of most creators like yourself
I do refer to it often to be honest, it's an incredible tool!

Sprocket carrier !
Haha thanks 😊
I’ve literally got some very good stanchions you could have for free! No pitting or rust and they’re straight…
Now you tell me 🤣 I'm hoping they'll turn up next week, fingers crossed 🤞
Good morning @gpzfan5272,
Would you consider selling them.. to me with any luck?
@@BRAD.- are you based in the UK?
Check think the spacer goes sprocket side not inside the cush drive from memory 👍
I think that might be a different spacer, I'm pretty sure there's 2 different ones, I'll triple check the manual before sticking it back on the bike
👍
😀
My OCD kjicking in using a claw hammer in the workshop Grrrrrrrrrr!
Send me a link to the hammer you'd like me to use and I'll get one 👍
@@AshRowland ball pein hammer. Proper engineering hammer. With a riveting ball on one end
Makes no difference.When was the last time you used the ball end of your hammer to knock bearings in?
@@TheYorkie1954 I have one of those 🤣
@@stevejohnson7956 just gets my OCD raving
Just a thought... any bashing your doing is being transferred to that nice new disc😢
Hopefully not, I did it on my lap with my legs supporting the tyre. I'll take them off next time though to be safe 👍

🤣 thanks mate, for the sake of £30 ish I thought it best to swap them out, didn't take long 👍
It's not can. It definitely will damage the bearings.
Yep, I could feel the play in them lol, you live and learn 👍
@@AshRowland That's how we all learn. I've made a few in my time too. 🙂
You need a big shed mate, watching your videos makes me feel claustrophobic. Other than that..nice 1!
Haha, yea, I'd love a big shed mate, hard to find in a city centre though 🤣 alright for some with their farms 😉
Are you going to grow a man bun to match that beard? 🤣
🤣
Nice to see you back in action, with the jizzy screwdrivers!😂
@@MrSkid1970 🤣
Please buy a manual.
I have one, but I don't have the copyright to show it on the channel 👍 that's how I know all the torque settings
Put bearing in freezer for a night before installing them one at a time.
I forgot to do that lol 😆
