Thanks for the feedback & the view! I hope you check out the rest of the channel, more videos coming in the next few weeks!

I always use the freezer trick, silicone spray in receiver housings and a gentle heat on the wheel prior to fitment. Works a treat.

This is fantastic stuff. So...are you going to check the valves? And do a video on it?

@@RodRidesWrenches valve checks are the most daunting thing for us amateur mechanics.

Just curious. In a previous video, you said that seals do not need a driver. What changed to convince you to use a driver (for the seals) now?

At minute 6:40 you mentioned that the markings on the bearing must face outward. I hadn't heard that before and did a little Googling which didn't turn up anything positive. Can you comment as to where you heard that statement. Cheers!

Hi Brad, It is typically found in factory service manuals. I have two for the ZX6, one for the E (which is the one I am working on in the video) and one for the later D model. In both, it states in the bearing installation section; NOTE * Install the bearing so that the marked side faces out. I have a hundred or so shop manuals for various bikes and every one of them I can recall, has the same reference on the wheel bearing. I just checked my 2012 GL1800 shop manual since it was on my desktop and confirmed it says the same thing; Drive in a new bearing squarely with the marked side facing up until it is fully seated. I thought I would reference these factory shop manuals for you rather than just telling you, that's they way I was taught to do it... Thanks for the question and I appreciate your comment and view! I hope you checked out the rest of the channel. 👍

@RodRidesWrenches Thanks for the great reply! I checked the manuals for my DR650, Hyperstrada, Concours 1000, R1100RT, KTM 450/950, XT225, both Clymer and factory manuals for my GPz550 and my F650GS. It was mentioned in two of the manuals but none of the others. So the score was 2 out of 10. I checked my auto service textbooks, ‘phoned a friend’ and did a little online research. No where else could it be found that it was a necessity. In fact, it was stated that it was not necessary. It’s a good work practice but with a spherical roller bearing, they don't care which way they’re installed unless there is a seal involved and it should be obvious which way that is oriented. In my experience, the markings and single seal are on the same side. Certainly nothing wrong with the way you are doing it, i just had to question the reasoning as i had never heard of it being a necessity. Carry on and cheers from Sussex NB!

Normal ball bearings, it doesn't matter, it's just to make the next guy job easier, so he can check what's the bearing without having to remove it ( bearing are used in thousands of applications outside moto world), But you have other types of ball bearing where the side does matter, angular contact ones for example, but they have markings and the machine should have assembly instructions, if not (used, old, etc) you try to copy what you found.

Hi sir. May i ask regarding my spacer bearing tube. Or Inner Hub Spacer. It has scratches all over like it's been grind. Also it scratches and also some small cracks the inner hub of my wheel, do I really need to throw out my wheel?

@RodRidesWrenches

Cracks on the hub? Then yes get a new wheel. The cast will break on the first speed bump or pothole you hit.

@@RodRidesWrenches OK sir. I thought I can still use it. I also thought that the axle and spacer bearing holds the pressure not the hub. Thanks sir by the way. Great video
