I seen you use the same snap ring pliers I use them to it makes taking snap ring off almost effortless and since I do have a 85 Husqvarna that is mostly put together with snap ring

This is the one thing I hate most about hondas especially used ones. Every used Honda I've encountered always at minimum needed the wheel cylinders adjusted. Most of the used ones around me have no brakes.

@rockspowersports 3 ай бұрын

For sure! They really need to be taken apart every couple of years and the adjusters should be cleaned and greased.

If you have a race stuck just run an inch long bead on it with a MIG and let it cool, itll fall out.

@rockspowersports 3 ай бұрын

If they are really stuck I’ll usually weld a bolt or something inbetween the outside bearing race. The heat helps tremendously and this give you something to press or hammer on evenly.

@Pjw350 4 ай бұрын

Love the content. Do you typically use all balls bearing kits? What about the wheel cylinders? What brand do you trust for those?

@Pjw350 4 ай бұрын

Those drum brake setups are lots and lots of labor- you make it look easy.

@rockspowersports 4 ай бұрын

I do use All balls quite a bit, I actually use them for the wheel cylinder rebuild kits as well. These wheel cylinders were a cheaper set from Vito’s.

@Pjw350 4 ай бұрын

@@rockspowersports i have used all balls for years without issues. I wont trust anything for brake calipers/cylinders from amazon.

I have a grave yard full of Rubicons that have bad transmissions. Maintenance is a huge key for the hondamatic. The earlier models were known to have more problems than the 05+

I’m not sure if you saw my last video of this one but I had to use the primer on the bottom of the carburetor to start this before cleaning the fuel system. Have you tried to use the primer on your Honda?
