I really like how you mentioned not over-packing the bearing between the cage and seal. Heated grease has to have a place to sling too and pick it back up as needed. However it looks like you still ended up packing a little too much lol. Some videos shows guys just packing as much as they can but this is a mistake as it will churn the grease and create friction and resistance. Kind of the opposite of why we were lubing the bearings in the first place.

Carb cleaner might work better than Brake cleaner. The most important thing to note is if the cleaner is safe for rubber. Because, some solvents will attack and degrade the rubber seals. Read the label carefully for material compatibility before using any product on your bearings and seals.

Lincoln Lubricant Dispensers sells a small needle that goes on the end of a grease gun which will get down into tight areas like between the balls and races. You just place the needle where you want the grease to go and pump the grease gun handle.

use also a chainsaw's sword tip greaser, cheap to have one extra lying around..

One can buy a grease injector needle cheap at just about any auto parts store or Amazon.

Soak the bearing/hub over night in solvent. Lightly tap hub/bearing with metal tool handle for solvent penetration. Wipe off the excess solvent. Place hub in your freezer overnight. Take the hub out and carefully use a torch (fueled flame) and evenly heat the hub around the bearing - not too much. Using a dull Flat-Blade Screwdriver, and a Sledge-Hammer, hammer the bearing out from the opposite side, evenly, being careful not to scratch the hub surface. Also, search Park Tool bearing romoval.

If I'm taking out the bearing....I might as well just replace it. I think this video is meant more for just maintenance without punching the bearing out, then back in.

This wheel is from an '07 Scorpa SY250 which is a French made, Yamaha powered, trials bike. I also own an '05 YZ250 and an '06 WR250F. As you can see I bleed blue.

:-) You didn't replace the bearings instead because of why??
@ItsNorway5 жыл бұрын
What about the inside of the bearing? I am sure that still have the ruber seal that you took off on the outside. Having said that i suppose here will be brake cleaner left inside the bearing you cleaned since the other side of the bearing is sealed with the rubber ring.... Just something to think about...

Have you ever used a brake cleaner ? It evaporates very fast so nothing is left behind 😜

one more tip. your brake disc is extremely sensitive for grease and once contaminated it is very dificult to be clean again.
@SnoopyDoofy8 жыл бұрын
+thcrivellari Who told you that? It's a steel / iron disc. Wipe off grease and degrease with brake cleaner / acetone before use. No need to worry about it. Brake pads on the other hand can soak up grease and oils, definitely keep those protected.
