put the new bearing in the deep freeze for an hour first - makes it a tiny bit undersize and easier to press. Thanks for a nice clear film

Good idea! Mechanics who work on larger machines often heat the outer ring of a press-fit connection with a torch before assembly. You can't do that with a bike hub, so super-cooling the bearing makes perfect sense.

@@ericl2969 Not sure if it was in the manual or an "old mechanic trick", but my motorcycle guy had an oven in his shop. He'd put the part in the oven on low, and the bearing in the freezer, and it'd drop right in. Once both got back to room temperature they were locked together.

Your freehand sketches are great, somehow easier to understand than perfect straight-line engineering drawings. Thanks.

I saw those drawings and was like, 'this guy's definitely an mechanical engineer'

The BEST tutorial ever. Very brief and easy to understand.

Excellent explanation. I like how you show theory of operation with your drawings first, absent on almost all KZread how-to videos. it helps us understand what we're doing as we go through the steps. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I like that you always draw the anatomy and in different colors! I could understand visually. Thanks. Just subscribed!

Done this process a few times on my own wheels but have to say this is one of the most clear and concise videos I’ve seen on this procedure. No expensive tools used, very articulate and informative.

Thanks for this video. I had a great experience with Hunt customer service, as well. I broke a spoke on my 2+ year old Mason X Hunt wheel. I contacted them and they said they would send a new spoke free of charge, or if I sent them the wheel the would replace the spoke and return the wheel to me. The process took about a week or 10 days, and they replaced two spokes and retensioned my wheel. So, thumbs to indeed, to Hunt. (so much that I bought another set of Hunts myself and encouraged a friend whose bike I was working on to purchase a set too)

I loved your delivery, mild humour and technical knowledge, great content definitely gives me the confidence to tackle the bearing replacement on my hubs! Many thanks

Thank you for such a clear and easy to follow set of instruction😎👍🏻

Excellent video, well explained. Wish more were like this. Thank you.

Love this, good job the drawing makes a big difference.

Very helpful video. 5:55 i found the best way to help centre the inner sleeve is to put the wheel on it's side and level, then the sleeve will be vertical and the bearing will compress on to it squarely. As for cleaning, chain and gear degreaser might make your drive train look awesome but will liquify any bearing grease!

Fantastic video, well done man. Perfect explanation that's easy to understand.

The diagram was really clear, thanks so much for this

Thank you for that - exactly what i needed. I'll also second your high praise for Hunt's customer service after they replaced the freehub on my Gravel 30s in just three days and with no charge. I suspect it failed for the same reason as your front wheel bearings and they could easily have been less generous.

Good video all the fine details covered

Thank you for the video this is helpful information.

Legend! Thank you that helped me out big time!

Brilliant video, thank you! When I saw the press and the price, my first thought was "I reckon that I could make a version out of threaded rod and other hardware..!" Then you did, fellow tinkerer... : )

super helpful video, thanks

I know it’s an old video but just found it. It’s the best I have seen so far and the animated sketch is really world-class. Kudos!! I have two questions. 1) Isn’t there a bearing removal tool (like the Park tool for bottom brackets) for these small bearings? You know, the one that expands in the groove and allow to tap in on the whole surface. 2) Why don’t we put retainer compound here but we do on the bottom brackets? Thanks a lot, I subscribed
