loose rear wheal bearing help
#11
Went thru this with my 2016 Dyna. Fried my left rear wheel bearing in 6,000 miles.
New wheel.
New brake rotor.
New caliper stay.
New brake pads.
Bearing race was literally "cut in half" by the b alls. Yes, it was greased well. Garbage quality bearing from OEM.
Tech told me they now use an "updated" bearing as this has been seen before.
All under warranty.
See the link to my experience: 2016 FXDL goes sideways on throttle

just replaced my rear wheel bearings, left one failed 150mi from home, had 25K miles on them. they were very tight pressed into the hub, think at the factory are pressed in dry, i applied never seize when re installing.
has yours ever been replaced? is it the correct size? has it spun in the hub?

although I did get 25k miles out of mine, ordered a set of timken 205PP for replacements, are made in USA, hopefully better quality.

before spending big bucks on a new wheel I would suggest take it to a good machine shop and have them look at it. if is enough material, they may be able to machine the hub a bit to clean it up and press in a bushing to accept a new bearing. . my dad is a retired machinist, have seen him fix many damaged pieces that most would have sent to the scrap yard. a good machinist can do some amazing things with damaged metal parts.
