Great video! Looking forward to doing this job now that I've ordered the pullers and presses.

Thanks a ton for making this content. It was very helpful for me when I changed all 8 of the bearings on my 2019 SB130. I ordered the same RRP main tool and #11 kit and also the 15mm extractor from Wheels. I didn’t realize you are suggesting #2 is required for the shock extenders until after I ordered everything. For others out there I was able to go without RRP kit #2 and even without the 8mm Wheels extractor just fine. Instead I used a combination of sockets and kit #11 to make it work totally fine (although not how it was intended in the strictest sense).

This was such a critical video for my first attempt at replacing bearings- thank you!! For only marginally more cost than I’d pay to have my LBS do the work, I was able to buy both the bearing kit and all the RRP, Wheels Mfg, and Yeti tools. Such great peace of mind to have these tools and skills to do this quickly and easily in the future 🤘🏼

wish i had this video a month ago, because i tried to replace the bearing the shock linkage on my sb130, i end up bending the thing. i had to get a new one. this is a really helpful video, thanks for making it as i will probably try this again in the future also is it kit no 2 for the shock extender?
@IslandBikeLife
@IslandBikeLife 3 жыл бұрын
Yes Kit #2 I used for the extender. I would recommend an 8mm extractor though as the kit iAd this a 100% solution because the bearings are a double row and very thick. It only worked on one piece fully, might have been a setup issue but the extractor got it the rest of the way out.

For extraction purposes on the linkage, does the Yeti extractor do the same thing as the red pieces from kit #11? Also, for the shock extenders, are you using kit #2? I'm currently using the hammer out method and I don't like it. Thanks!
@IslandBikeLife
@IslandBikeLife 3 жыл бұрын
No it does not work as well as Kit 11, it is simply too big. Kit #2 works the ‘best’ but isn’t a 100% solution. I would recommend an 8mm extractor to make sure you can get them out all the way, every time.

They are F6902-LLU-Max-EB. Very obscure from what I found and pretty hard to source. The cost of this by themselves I have found is nearly the cost of the whole kit from Yeti.

Yes the kit direct from Yeti comes with the SI bearings. If all of them they are the only ones I wasn’t able to find a more cost effective alternative too. They are a pretty obscure size. It is too bad Yeti doesn’t sell them on their own but perhaps if you call them direct you could get them.

Fantastic vid. Loved it but also underlined why I'll never buy a Yeti. Ease of maintianence is obviously not a primary design principal with the number of unecessaey proprietary tools, all mismatched bearing sizes and duplicated methods of extraction required. RAAW bikes on the other hand are the opposite.
