2 consecutive bearing failures. I need help bad

[outthere]

All you need to remove a wheel is a couple of allen wrenches, 3/8" ratchet with 6" extension and a spark plug socket.

I feel your pain there youngscooter, but the wheel install is so easy they put the tools in your factory tool kit to do it on the side of the road. You'll need a rock under the muffler... been there.... but a rear stand is a nice thing to have around the garage.

IMO, if your even slightly handy, it's worth the experience to do it yourself.

Turns out he didnt use 100ft lb. He said thats way too much for any bike and that he just used those numbers as an example.

He agreed to my proposition listed earlier (i buy new wheel, he installs for free) but he said hes only doing it because he knows i am a solid customer, and any other shop would tell me to go to hell.

I ordered the new wheel

Sounds fishy to me, but whatever. It should work out for you now. You still have a good relationship with him and he should pay better attention from here on out:up:

Do you know where they are sourcing the bearings? If they are using SKF I hope they are going to a local bearing supply company or legitimate supplier.

The only reason I ask is because there are significant instances of counterfeit bearings on the market on sites like ebay and amazon. I've also seen people mistakenly buy bearings with a C3 clearance not realizing what that means too.

I didnt know that about C3... or about CN.

Thanks for calling that to my attention, I do not know where he orders stuff but usually when they ordered tires and clutches they had a bookcase of catalogues behind the counter they bust out and run through.

I had to Google what "catalogs" are.... Turns out they made them from trees and ink in the far far past.

How quaint




Just messing with ya:angel:

Of course, just having good natured fun You picked a career that will have you sweating, no one calls the A/C guy when it's working perfectly on a cool day:upset:

Get a couple trucks and a couple good guys as fast as you can, so you can sit in your own A/C and schedule the attics for them to go in, for you:eagerness:

I kinda have a different plan. Im a young dude so the attics and sweating dont bother me. But the illinois freezing cold does.....
I wanna get into commercial chillers at some point. You only find those inside climate controlled buildings, and the jobs pay as much as youd get as a union journeyman (but without all the union bull**** to deal with). I'll get there some day. For now I need to ratchet up my skills and knowledge in residential work because its extremely valuable and can go anywhere. I have a degree in hvac/r, i just need a few years of experience before moving to commercial work.

Wouldnt mind servicing freezers either. Hang out in the back of a burger king making twice as much as the store manager LOL

 

[young scooter]

hate to burst your bubble....but with all due respect...i strongly disagree.

disagree with what?

 

[young scooter]

I need that wheel, whoever offered to sell me one. Need hero blue. Whats your price?
